Okay, what's up with all the grandmas flipping people off on google image search, hmmm, lol? I refrained, lol. messy room

I think it truly is the thought and the spirit behind the gift that counts... I have an example of when a gift was given in totally the wrong spirit : My BIL and the kids wanted a lapdog really bad. His wife was clear that she DID NOT want a dog because she knew she'd be the one saddled...

I met my husband on a blind date...with someone else. LOL. Tis true. :)

woohoo! 17...and a half!

Did you talk to him about how much he might have hurt the cat? How sick the cat might have gotten? Explained to him that the cat could have died from his actions? This doesn't have to be a loud or harsh conversation, but it's a conversation that I definitely would have had. Not a lecture...a...

High five. :)

From a week or so ago : Come on people...play along. Post more pics! It's fun! :tutu:

Preach all you want...I think it's hypocritical. And I think that violence in any form or to any degree is wrong. Sorry, my mind's not changin'...

We don't hit our children at all...grrr. :mad: Neither do we use time-outs or other traditional "punishments"...we're a non-punitive family. We use natural consequences when a consequence is necessary. Natural consequences are not a parentally imposed punishment...it's just the natural...

I do not believe that hitting the child teaches them not to hit. It teaches them to fear you. It teaches them that a bigger person hitting a smaller person works. It teaches them that "might makes right." What it does NOT do is to help them understand why hitting is wrong. It does not help...

Love Paul van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, and Paul Oakenfold. ;) I love Let Go...by Paul van Dyk. And just about anything by DJ Tiesto...Ride is my fave. Angel in the Night...by Basshunter.

Matt Nathanson in October...AWESOME show. TSO (Trans Siberian Orchestra) in December...another AWESOME show.

We're a really veggie family...we very rarely eat any meat at all...so my girls have always been offered lots of different veggie choices. They each have a few they dislike, but they both love actual veggies...not the over processed "fake" veggies. French fries, and potatoes in general, are...

I agree. =) High five to all the other non-punitive parents out there. :clap: Humiliating a child is never okay, in my opinion.

Nope, not even for a second. My kids are 7 and 10, and I don't even leave them alone in the car to get gas. If I can't pay at the pump, they come inside with me. I'm from a small country town where people leave their kids in the car all the time, just to run in and pay for gas or whatever...

I'm done with shopping for my kids. They're racking up this year. My hubby got to buy a new TV. I still have shopping to do for the rest of the family.

Last year was a miserable experience for both of them. The amount of homework and their obvious struggles with the teaching methods were motivating factors. The straw that broke the camels back was the night my 9 year old brought home 240 multiplication write offs because she had missed...
