Are you kidding??? Do you even have kids???
Not all teachers are wonderful. Yes children should be at school on time BUT there are exceptions otherwise there would not be excused and unexcused tardies. For instance, I didn't hear my alarm is avoidable (unexcused) Mom had a flat bringing me to school that is unavoidable as fog would be so should be excused.
It sounds like she trying to be a nurturing supportive mom. It doesn’t matter whether the teacher has explained the assignment or not. It matters that her child did not understand those instructions and needed clarification. It also sounds like the teacher previously made the boy uncomfortable when he asked for clarification so he is now apprehensive of approaching her, in my opinion Mom acted appropriately by trying to contact the teacher and try open up the lines of communication and help her son to learn to problem solve. The teacher has made up her mind about the child and is clearly unwilling to communicate with the mom and has already started defending herself to others.
This is not the 1920's where parents blindly follow the teachers advice even if it is totally off base.
To the OP: RUN!!!! Do not walk remove your son from this obviously abusive teacher (yes intimidation is abuse in my book especially by a teacher to a 2nd grader NOT A TEENAGER) Any EDUCATOR that is already using the term effeminate in regards to a 2ND GRADER has problems and I would guess is homophobic. Your child deserves to be comfortable. This does not mean to yank your child from school every time they have a problem but this sounds more like the teacher has a problem and you do not need this attitude or this teacher to cause your son to believe there is something wrong with him which from what you have described is already happening. TAKE THE CHILD AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM. Then you can deal with the teacher and the school!!!!! If I can help at all or you need an ear email me.
Oh and the caps are not meant to yell/offend just to emphasize since bold did not work….
It's all in knowing dogs and knowing
what you're doing. My husband is a K9 officer and unfortunately sometimes he gets calls of pitbulls that have been left outside on a chain and they break the chain and go roam around the neiborhood. Does he kill them? No. Instead, he goes out there and gets the dog and puts it back on its chain and contacts the owner and tells the owner that if there is another occurrence that he will get a ticket and the dog will go to our nearby shelter. Dogs are what people make of them. A few years back it was Chow Chow, Doberman and Rotweillers that were talked about as being mean. An experienced dog handler knows how to handle any dog though.
Such sad news today about these kids
I have listened closely to the reports - think it is with the gravy- don’t think regular canned food but gosh you trust the people making these products - but today a lot of things go wrong even with human food. I just want to let you know I am so sorry for this precious life.
I agree. Little did we know. The young kids today
how we lived without computers and cell phones.
I did just fine.
I remember knowing who lived in every single house in our little neighborhood. In summer, all of us neighborhood kids would ride our bikes down the street and all the adults would be out on their porches or leaning on fences talking to one another and the baseball game would be on everyone's radio.
We would roll down to the neighborhood pharmacy, sit at the soda fountain and order chocolate Cokes and sometimes cherry Cokes. Then you HAD to go to the neighborhood mom and pop grocery store, stand 4-deep at the penny candy counter and all shout and point at the same time. I LOVED Mary Janes and those little foil covered chocolate "Ice Cubes." Anyone remember them? Then of course, you had to grab a bottle of coke out of the ice-filled Coca-Cola cooler, and little bits of ice would stick to the bottle and that Coke tasted soo icy cold and bubbly.
I remember thinking as a kid, boy how can anything get better than all this.
I was so right.
As a side note -- my sister found my old wicker basket from my bike in her basement. I repainted it white and have it on my bedroom wall, and fill it with silk seasonal flowers. Right beside it I have a picture on the wall of me and my best old friend in our Girl Scout uniforms, smiling and hugging. She died from leukemia a couple years ago. We were friends for 40 years. A piece of heart will always be gone now. But when I look at that picture and that basket I think of happier times, at least for me as a kid.
lol, I so agree - why are kids the way they are today? Rude and obnoxious?
The generation raising them, apparently. Kids today are treated like little princes and princesses. I don't know when children became things of worship but they have. And this time out and talking to the child it such crap, when most just need a good smack now and again. Hey it worked for us. When I was growing up we kids were not disrepectful and we didn't think the world owed us something and we grew up to be decent people. We were afraid of our parents in a way and it helped us to be decent kids. I don't remember being worshipped by my parents. So, I just can't imagine this world in say 20-30 years, how scary.
I totally agree with you and this is what is wrong with the kids today!
They think they're *all that* and then some. And they're in for a rude awakening. LOL
Spent 2 hours with my kids playing that today - fun! nm

you have no way of knowing
what any of these people would have been without it.
Knowing about the virus, I would
say no because it just gives a false security and the virus can hibernate so to speak for months before rearing its ugly head. If negative only for you, probably she would think fine and good, can continue on as nothing happened. I don't think teaching her a lesson by a blood test and surely not 1 so soon. I had read about some signs of the virus and saw a huge lymph node on daughter's neck and I probably knew then even before her landing in the hospital with excruciating headaches and high fevers. They asked her to give consent for testing (she was under 21) and hers came back false-positive for several sticks- finally had the most advanced test done and then showed so really the test never showed a positive ever. You know, your daughter might be of age to say whether or not she would have 1 done- check that out first. It was not left up to me to give my yes or no. You know with all the rules and regulations they have now days, things have changed to what it was- a child under 21- you used to give consent, check this out first before rushing into the office. Let me know what you find out- send me an email if you would like. Good luck.
Your knowing the wife well would be
much more important than you hubby talking to his buddy now and then. She's the one stuck with cleaning, getting a guest room set up and worrying about meals. Some women enjoy that, but many are just too busy to drop everything.
No , they are white and after knowing them
all these years, it was very suprising. Like I said, we all grive in different ways, but I never would have believed that some of the adults would need to be medicated. It is just tragic and painful to see.
Thank you -- it helps just knowing
I'm not the only one with a child like this. What I did learn from the child psychologist is that I have 2 other children who react normally to discontentment. Yes, they get angry and occasionally fight, but not to the extent that this one does.
I have threatened to call the police but never have. Maybe 1 of these times I will. I sympathize with you in your plight. I hope things continue to go well for you and your son. Thank you.
What does the bus driver knowing have to do with this? nm

Knowing him, he would just start groping me from

Good for you for knowing that!!! (& sharing) :-D (NM)

Yep, I've thought of all that but knowing her
xx
I am afraid knowing too much makes you old
Couples don't make things safe. A lot of times the pervert gets the wife to find the girl to lure her into a sense of false security. If you absolutely are going to do this, base it on the one with the penis, not the "nice" lady!
talk about not knowing when to stop...
maybe someone should unplug your keyboard for today.
re: your first post before things got worse:
quote - If you knew about the possibility of having dementia in your mother and possibly subjecting you to same, why in the world would you ever think about having another child and running the risk of the child not having a mother by the time they are a young teen? That is sad in the fact of you writing a note just in case you are not in a mental state as she ages so she could understand. How old was your mother when she had to be put in a facility? unquote
First the writing the note part was a joke -sort of- and was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. That this went over your head is sad. Secondly, it was not my pregnancy, it was unplanned, the child has already lost her birth mother, hence being my change of life child as I was not willing to lose the child to stranger adoption and I changed my life for a child I did not give birth to. Still standing by your original post?
Lastly, the child is almost 6 years and my mother went from independent living and driving to being institutionalized in less than 6 months, with her admission to a facility Oct 2008 (8 months ago)...meaning the child was already older than the age of 4 years and in my care before my mother's decline. My mother is 78. Am I still unqualified to be this child's mother? Should I have tied my tubes before having my two older children because my grandmother had dementia? Should my mother have tied hers and ergo avoided my birth? By the way, the child is able to understand much more than most (meaning you) about what happens to many elderly people by having watched the process and knowing the person my mom was before the dementia was so severe. How's that original post tasting about now? Welcome to the world of the sandwich generation. Oh yes lest I forget to say later, thanks for your support.
Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
May you have peace knowing your love will never end. My sympathies
Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wonderous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful--lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wondrful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

My main problem with calamari, besides knowing it's
some ocean creepy-crawly like squid or octopus, is that it has the consistency of rubber. Yuck!
IMO, I can't bring myself to watch The Nativity Story knowing
that the girl playing Mary, at only 16 years old got knocked up by her 19 year old boyfriend. What do you think?
I guess these are the times when people just assume without knowing...
I said when I answered her call "She seemed out of sorts, curt reply, telling me to call her back." Well, with all "assuming" that is going on, I assume people are not reading the post as I stated. If she thinks I am angry, I have told her to ask me. A person who assumes is wrong a lot of the time- as you were here.
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
No kidding!

You have got to be kidding!
I had not known of this. Thank you for sharing this information. Good to know!
You are kidding, right?
They are talking and you have a problem with this? Geeze. I think it shows a real maturity to maintain a friendship with an ex-spouse especially with no kids involved. Now if they are having a 'relationship' that is very different but that is not what you said. Apparently you are not big on forgiveness and real big on control and jealously.
No kidding- at least now
more people are seeing that. For the last several years this administration has reminded me of the story "The Emperor Has No Clothes" where the problem has been obvious but nobody wanted admit it. Now all the politicians are falling over themselves explaining how they were "always against the war" but they just never said so before now. Yeah, right.
actually, kidding or not, you are more right than you think..sm
deep pocket sheets are very expensive, between 200 and 300 dollars, and you still have to be careful about how deep the pockets are...they still might not be big enough. but for a couple more inches, they cost a whole lot more!
You have got to be kidding!
How does this woman stay in business?? If it were me, I would go back there one more time, to make it clear that she would never see a dime of my money, and exactly why. Perhaps her attitude works in her country or culture, whatever it is, but if she wants to sell to Americans she needs a major attitude adjustment. IMO, the only people who would buy from her are a) masochists or b) arrogant insecure people like her.
You are just kidding yourself
Let me tell you what could happen. You said not cheating, did he confess the other time while cheating or afterwards? Probably not while it was going on. A mother should be happy with herself first. Why be miserable so the kids would be happy?? They will grow up, leave 1 day and then what do you have? Still unhappiness because you might allow him to stay but then again if he is saying not loving you anymore, I doubt very seriously he is planning on staying, probably trying to cushion the blow some. If the kids mother is not happy, your kids are probably going to know that and that can cause problems there.
OMG - are you kidding?
Better check out CNN.
You are kidding me??? OF COURSE I will try it! sm
I was just thinking while putting on the mineral stuff when MK would come out with something because I'm sure they are "losing" customers (I'm not saying all) to the mineral make up wearers.
Of course, I am concerned now for the content in the makeup since Purity states they don't use talc, oils, etc. That will be my ultimate deciding factor. Thank you for this info, though!
No kidding!!!
I came on here today, and it was still the same topic! It's just taking over this entire page! We need some new topics on here!
Are you kidding me?
If Cuba is so wonderful, why do people die trying to get out? But I'll be glad to buy your boat ticket if you really want to go live there. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
are you kidding!!!!!
It most certainly can help a whole lot. Do you know how many people have no idea where pet store puppies come from. A whole whole bunch. If the word and pictures of this abuse is put out there by a mass publicity machine such as Oprah, hopefully the demand will go down and the supply will also. Oprah herself said she will never ever get another dog unless it is from the shelter herself and how this report has changed her views, so apparently she had no idea of this horrible industry too.
You have to be kidding me! sm
You must not have any children at all. Quick to sue? It's been over 2 months. I really don't care what other people think of me. My only concern is my daughter. You don't see the terror in her eyes everytime she sees a dog. You weren't here when she woke up from nightmares.
You're pathetic!
Are you kidding me.......
We have Guitar Hero I, II, III, and the 80's one. LOL! I even have my own guitar that I decorated for ME. Seriously considering getting my stepson Rock Band for his Wii. I'm 28 years old and I love that stuff. I don't play it much because I'm really busy, but I do sneak down to the basement to play from time to time.
You have got to be kidding.
I would eat in my car in the parkinglot before paying to eat inside a fast food restaurant. Part of their appeal is that it is cheap and I don't have to tip otherwise I might as well go to a regular restaurant. Wonder what they could do if you order at the register, say its "to go" and then change your mind and eat inside.
You must be kidding
Love tap?? Pain is pain and No means No, matter who is doing it. If the girl has already forgotten about it, then she is on her way to being a psychopath. I doubt very much the boy has forgotten, what with his throbbing arm.
Forgiving the little girl "as a Catholic" (guilt-wielding psychobabble aside), is absolutely beside the point. This is a 6-year old who is obviously not yet acquainted with the concept of right versus wrong & who is having some pretty serious control issues. It is the parents' responsibility to make sure she gets a VERY clear lesson about this VERY soon, and the teacher's responsibility to enforce this in the classroom. "Second chance" indeed. It would be absolutely irresponsible to "give her a second chance" without first making absolutely certain she knows what she did, knows why it was wrong, feels remorse, will never do it again, and expresses all of the above to everyone involved.
Good grief. Enough of that Berkeley crapola.
You have got to be kidding!...sm
How in the world do you fall in and not be able to get out. I mean couldn't you open it from the inside? I don't get it.
lol no kidding.
I think Paula Dean would love this recipe! :)
She did something similar a short time ago but used egg noodles in place of the hashbrowns and added spinach and chicken. Not sure exactly the recipe but it sounds like basically the same thing. I remember it looked really yummy.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? Why is it that when people ask for info and someone doesn't like an answer given then that person is being mean. Sorry if its rent or school or groceries or school I would pick rent and groceries, otherwise I wouldn't get on a board and cry about not being able to pay my rent. I also know plenty of people on WC who may not be able to do the job they were doing but can do something...so give me a break. I've been broke and down and out and I didn't say there is nothing I can do, I went out and did something about it, even if it is working 2-3 jobs, which may not be my perfect life but it allows me to pay my bills, my family had a nice Christmas and I paid cash for it so I don't have to worry next month how I'm going to pay for it.
OMG, no kidding??!! sm
I delivered a lot of babies in the Scientology community in my former life as a midwife, and I can tell you the nix on breastfeeding was real. The babies were put on a formula created by L. Ron Hubbard, and all I remember is that the main ingredient was potato water. Childbirth itself was natural, but no conversation could take place during the labor or birth so the baby wouldn't be imprinted with negativity.
Is this why I didn't see Katie at the Golden Globes with her hubby?
Are You Kidding Me?
He had genital warts and you still got with him? Ummm, you need counseling of some sort. Do you have no standards at all? He cheated on his ex....he has diseases....and you have mostly unprotected sex (once a week) with his disgusting behind?
Then you come on here wanting sane people to tell you that getting a cheat letter is nothing to be alarmed about? Your self esteem is so low that you have to justify his lying behind?
Girl....come on.....go get tested! Then get psych help!
no kidding
Besides which, if a woman will not be with a man who is not circumcised but who is otherwise clean & healthy -- MERELY because of "aesthetics" -- the man should definitely move on. She isn't worth his time.
no kidding
I guess for some people pushing 1 for English is really hard.
Are you kidding me!!
I just saw on the news that they are talking about not letting a Fast Food place be close to a school!
I am steamed!!! I went to a sex offender meeting and those scum bags can live anywhere! Even though, it says that they are not suposed to go into a tavern or lounge or be around a park, they plop them right next to a bar and a block from a park in our neighborhood! We have three level "3" sex offenders in a house that "they" say has eight other men there too. So you know they are ( level 1) sex offenders..I mean come on, what real man would live there with sex offenders?
SO they are more concerned about a child that might eat one to many french fries, but heck....let the sex offenders live next to a school or park, so they can watch the kids and know their patterns!
GEESH PEOPLE!!! Get your priorities straight!
No kidding!!
That is preposterous!! People get indignant about the wrong things. Let's keep our babies safe before we worry about them eating saturated fats! Good grief. I'm as outraged as you are.
Are you kidding?
I would kill for a neighborhood with a house like that!
So much for saying where I live. All the houses in my neighborhood are tiny little crackerbox style houses. Most of them don't take care of their yards even.
If the neighbors are complaining about the color, it must be a really nice neighborhood. They are all invited to come stay with me for a week. Then they can go back home and appreciate the purple house.
You are kidding, right?
I have watched Idol every year since it first started except for this one and it has been a total bore for me. Annoup was not professional, Danny is ok but nope they don’t have half the talent she has. If that were the case, don’t you think they would have been a lot bigger now than she is? Very few biggies come out of Idol, can count on 1 hand. These will probably turn the same, 1 record wonders.
