Who really knows what she meant? Some women are just catty. My best friend is that way.
We had our sons a year or so apart. And of course, my son was much cuter than hers.  Anyway, my son was small for his age cause the hubs and I are not big people - DH is 5Ɗ" and I am 5ƈ". So everytime my friend and I would get together, she felt the need to say stuff like "Seth just dwarfs your little guy." Her son was also a bit timid and my son not so much. So she would constantly tell me that her son didn't defend himself with mine because her son was afraid he might hurt my son because he was so little. Like 2 year olds are thinking like that!
I never let it bother me. I figured it was her issue and not mine. It bothered my husband tremendously and I had to stop him from making snide remarks during card parties with them. I just would never stoop to making fun of someone elses kid. It's just wrong.
There are women who will not use an IUD precisely for this reason sm
If you believe (as you seem to imply in your earlier message) that "life begins at conception", then an IUD which prevents a conceived being from being carried in the mother's womb, would indeed perform the function of an abortion.
Hmm, catty fits well for you...

Not to be catty, but whoa did you see the eyebrows? -sm
talk about bad, must be those tatooed eyebrows I've heard about, or else really bad clown makeup.
A shame this place is so catty. But that is freedom of speech for you.
People come here to be supported, but need to realize there are all kinds of opinions out there. When you place yourself on a public forum to be supported expect to be bashed. That is the way of the world unfortunately. Just learn to try to see who wants to help and who wants to hurt. All kinds of agendas here. Your instincts will tell you who is real and who are the trolls. To all who are well-meaning here and look for support,or provide constructive criticism hang in there. Just filter out the bad and take away from it what you will.
he/s probably always been immature

do you know how immature
that word "fricking" is????
It sounds as if she's still immature....
I would continue giving her gifts but make them thoughtful, lower cost gifts. I'm thinking things like journals, stationery, inspirational books, or beautiful things like paperweights or artwork.
If she never appreciates them, at least you got the benefit of giving and the pleasure of picking out something nice. If she eventually grows up and learns to appreciate it, it will be a blessing to her and to your DH.
And you didn't mention if she buys for your DH, though it sounds like she is supposed to. If she doesn't, I for one don't think it would be out of line to gently remind her that she needs to remember her godfather just as he remembers her.
Not immature, but romantic and sweet
that he wants to pick this out for her and wants it to be a surprise! That's really sweet!
You sound a little insecure and immature to me.
change and besides nagging an begging him, you need to think of a way to make him want to change. It is possible that he will never be the way you want or need him to be, and you married the wrong guy. Just curious, how long and how intense was your dating process?
It didn't...thank you for another immature response...
I do not understand why simply asking for facts always seems to result in insult and immaturity. Or why persons would choose to get their views on life from a blog. Oh well. Have a nice day! :)
you did right, and her bratty immature ways will

Teenagers and immature adults
have always thought it was cool to "shock" people. Poor Britney lived for it, and ended up flashing her nether-regions and then completely ran out of ways to shock people ... no wait, that only left shaving her head on camera. < eye roll >
Since when is venting spiteful and immature?
You obviously have some bitter feelings on this topic. I suppose you were in a stepfamily that was all love n' peace?
he sounds immature, and nuts.
nm
this post is irrelevant; you sound immature
nm
Get Over It Already is an immature phrase, as are young teens who act this way
nm
Completely against...agree 21 is too young, still too immature and irresponsible.

sounds immature and simple minded; treat him as such.

Thank you bored MT.....
You make me feel better. But to the poster below, I do not feel I need to apologize for saying the lady is a good mother and an enabler. I meant that she is a good mother for helping out in taking care of her own. Enabling happens in all economic classes -- I have a few friends who are financially well off who still support their 20-somethings with new cars, rent/utility money, etc., but they love their children dearly and want them to have what they didn't.
In any case...yes...I just want to make peace because I don't want to stop coming to the boards. I shouldn't let my feelings get hurt so easily but I do...
Thanks again to you Bored MT and the NC MT, who came to my defense earlier.
you must be bored to death
as well as the ones that answered this!
Old folks get bored. sm
My 86-yo dad is the same way. Sticking his nose into my business. He also constantly rags on me about my son not mowing the grass, etc. I have explained to him that I LIKE to mow the grass and to please drop it and he just keeps on and on. One day he walked in my office and shook his finger at me and said, "You just wait, you just wait, y'all are drinking way too much pop." This because I buy it when it's on sale and it lasts a very long, long time. And, by the way, neither my son nor I are overweight. Older people just can't (anyways he can't) realize I am 53 years old and have lived on my own without his valuable input for a long time. He just doesn't have anything else to do.
The thing that really bugs me is when he comes over and just plops down in here when I am working and I tell him he can't be in here when I'm working and he gives me all kinds of excuses ("I can't see read what you're typing") and I have to just keep the screen minimized until he goes. He just doesn't get it. The other day I told him to go over and check on my cousin's new fence, and that got his train of thought going in a different direction and off he went. He called me one day and told me not to commit to the big diocesan pledge thing that's going on, that I am to tell them I am a single parent just barely scraping by, etc., etc., and I wanted to tell him I am not quite that destitute yet, but I just agreed.
Oh, and I have an extremely screwed-up sister, too, who Dad thinks can do no wrong and her son is the greatest, etc., etc. Oh, the stories I could tell about her! Well, it was me who gave him a place to live after Katrina and it was me who gave him my couch for his new house because he didn't have one (another delusional idea, he thinks he is broke), not her, so I just keep quiet and keep civil and remind myself he's old. When it gets to be too much I tell his sisters, who tell him to back off then he does for a while. All part of life.
Bored cats
 Catnip!! It doesn't last too long, but for a while they'll be very busy and happy.
Yes...bored to tears!!!

You still tackle after 23 years?!? I'm bored at 5. lol

That's the big secret? I saw some of that Oprah and got bored.
I have always been grateful for what I have, and no better things are coming my way, I can assure you. Maybe it's some sort of brainwash...with hidden subliminal messages. LOL
LOL - guess you are bored to death too then :)

I know this is much to simple, but he sounds bored (sm)
I agree with testing for autism, etc.
But bored children, no matter the age, upbringing, or intelligence will act out and 'find' something to do if they're bored.
My daughter was the 'perfect baby' until she turned about 18 months. She started misbehaving, not as bad as yours, but nothing like previously. None of the usual things really occupied her physically or mentally. So I started shopping for day care. Happy girl, believe it or not. The first day I picked her up around 3 p.m. and she told me I came too soon...
She needed the social stimulation, even at that young age. BTW, she is 21 now and still the same. Very outgoing and social, but smart and still a sponge for knowledge. She's in college and when she had winter, spring, and summer breaks, she is so relieved... for about 1 or 2 days. Then she starts counting the day until school starts again.
Anyyow, I digress, but sometimes you just have to listen to your kids and do what's best for them even if it tears you up inside.
In any case, you need some help. You are carrying way too much, but I admire you for your persistence in wanting to do what's best for your kids. Wish you the best :-)
did you ever wonder if you could literally be bored to death? nm

Find a bored child and tell them not to pick at it.

Bored? Let's talk food. What's for dinner?

Ditto........25 years, bored to tears.......

I'm bored...I'm tired...u taking my picture?...wonder where we're going?..
nm
Yes!! I get extremely bored and have trouble staying focused on typing. sm
Some days I am so bored I dont know how I am going to get through the day!!
I have had several, unfortunately. Is there a reason they did
an ultrasound at 7 weeks and again at 10 weeks? Mine were later attributed to the genetics of my husband's connective tissue disorder, but we were unaware of his diagnosis during that time. However, I am curious as to why they would be following you so closely with ultrasounds at this point in your pregnancy. (((hugs)))
Reason
The reason I asked is because our 3 year-old neighbor girl walks around with hers all the time. Drives me nuts. Like you said, cannot understand them when they talk. I figure if potty trained can get rid of that too. Of course they like to brag about what a big girl she is now, but........
Ok, the reason why I ask, of course, is
the medication you possibly might have been taking but back to the drawing board. I took synthroid since the late 80s and my hairs, yes hairs, about 2 of them left was worrying the crap outta me. Read here and then other places Synthroid was known for causing the hair loss. By the way, it does not get better. Mine had gotten to the point of my wearing wigs and thinking about hair replacement but since overall, hair replacement not an ideal plan for me. I went to endo physician, told him not taking the medicine any more and asked for Armour. The hair is growing back and I am a happy girl. I at 1 time had the real lush hair so the falling out really did not get better until I changed the medicine. Oh, BTW, for the person whose hair comes out more after shampooing, mine did exactly the same, could run my hand through it and it came out in gobs. I feel your pain because I was there also.
No reason given so far...
I think she didn't think AJ could ever be a Tony...provide for her in the way Carm is provided for...just a guess. Love that show, absolutely the best writing and acting bar none! When that goes, so does my HBO, but I do like Big Love too!
the reason they
are taking it this far is because it is a drug-resistant form of TB.
I don't think they are quarantining each and every one of his clients are they? But yeah, if a person has TB and they are noncompliant with taking the medication they can actually be locked up for the period of time that they need to take the medication. Its a serious thing.
One reason might be that
girls are starting earlier, and the younger they are, the more likely mom's help will be treasured. What girl wants to be caught at school unprepared? Also, lines of communication need to be open because back when I was in school, there was no time allowed for bathroom breaks longer than about 30 seconds, so this can cause real management problems if you know what I mean.
This is something I would rather do without and the reason
first of all handing out money to people who do not even file taxes and handing out more money to stimulate the economy only is working against it. You don’t spend more when we are already in a recession. The people paying the most taxes are the ones getting the least out of this. Oh I love the way the gov works. If I get something plan on putting in the bank to draw interest to pay for the taxes I will be charged on it come 2009.
Reason behind my not asking
dont have to count on a job really anymore- doing now because want to- in the past raising family and such -only chump change needed now.
One reason would be
drugs like methamphetamine! Also, the easy times we had for so long are sort of bad for moral values. As a society we think we're entitled to have it all, whether we have worked for it or not. Even gluttony comes from this attitude, I believe. During hard times, sure there was crime driven by poverty, but it was a whole other country crime-wise. Men came back from the war with DRIVE to better themselves. They found wives and settled down to work and make something of themselves. They understood there was some luck involved too, and took it in stride. If they stumbled, they tried again. They had discipline. They expected nothing handed on a platter. That's why they are considered the Greatest Generation; hard times built character.
yes. I did. My son is the reason that...
I started doing transcription. I may not make quite as much as I used to, but I do not have to pay for daycare and I get to be home with my son, not to mention the gas money I save (especially when fuel was so high). I think that working outside of the home was easier than doing all of the housework, taking care of the baby (soon to be babies in a week, or so) and working. Even if I still had to do all of the housework, soimebody else watching my son would make my job that much easier. I choose, however, to stay home with him and work a little harder. What I do miss is daily adult interaction--especially with my husband in Iraq right now.
