I did something completely irresponsible and just for me ---
I have been looking to buy a new car. Wanted a convertible, so had the sebring picked out as it had the biggest back seat to put the grandchildren in, the most leg room in the front for my extra-large man, and today I went to buy it and brought home a 2-seater, bright red, convertible Mazda Miata!!! I love it!!!! 
Get Over It Already is an immature phrase, as are young teens who act this way

What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
You are right on the money in my book! 
Agree completely......nm

I completely agree! (sm)
As strange as this woman may have been, including the people she chose to surround herself with, there has never been a question about how she felt about her beloved son. Let's hope this woman can finally have some peace in the next few days and spend eternity next to the one person that wasn't involved with her for his own personal gain!
Completely agree...
I have the same standards. Sleeping together is a gift that comes with marriage in my opinion. It is your house and your rules. Good for you for sticking to it!
I completely agree...sm
I live in one of the states that is in the middle of terrible turmoil due to illegal immigrants and what gets me is the minute citizens try to get laws that are already on the books enforced we are considered racists. The illegal immigrants form marches and get on TV and tell the world how terrible and racist the politicians are who are just trying to have laws that are already written enforced. It is just crazy. I mean they are here illegally, it has nothing to do with their race, it has to do with the fact that they are breaking the law and need to be treated like any other law breaker in this country. Geez. You have to be a citizen to vote, but all our signs outside the voting places have to be bilingual, does that make sense to you? Most jobs in my area are now only hiring bilingual people, so unless you learn Spanish, it is very hard to find a job, which I find even more irritating. I mean, what would happen to an American citizen if they tried to jump the border to any other country in the world, do you think we would be given any sort of rights other than being thrown in jail, deported, or just plain disappearing off the face of the earth? I don't think so.
I agree completely! Very well said (nm)

I also as a child was spanked NOT beaten, an I can tell you that my generation had MUCH more respect than the generations now. I am not that old either...late 30s, but back in the day, the neighbors spanked you, then sent you home to your parents whom they called, and you got it again...needless to say, I turned out JUST fine and again, have a LOT more respect for my elders now. I cannot STAND when people say that just because you spank your child means that you beat them...I have 4 children, whom are spanked when needed, which has not had to be often, but I can bet you that they respect me, their dad, AND other adults, and even my oldest ones (who are teenagers by the way) have said THEY think it has made them better people. They can COMPLETELY understand WHY we as parents may resort to spanking (and we used time outs too, but those only work for so long and for the "little" things). I too think that if more parents "spanked" NOT BEAT, their children, we would not have all the disrespect we have today. Just another example of "society/government" getting in the way. Again, spanking and beating are two different things, so DON'T confuse the two. As it says in the bible...spare the rod, spoil the child! JMHO!!
Agree completely
I've always known my IQ (from accredited Mensa tests). and IQ may go down (due to age, partying too much, etc.) but it never goes up. I've taken several tests from different sources throughout the years (I guess I'm just weird) and the figure always stayed the same. I was on a dating forum a couple years back and everyone started coming on saying they were geniuses because they took an online test and it said so. I am also well acquainted with the Bell Curve, and also I knew from most of those poster's prior comments that they weren't the brightest bulbs in the box. It smelled fishy so I took it, and it padded my IQ by 10-20 points!
If you really want to know your IQ (or your child's, they have a kid's one), you can buy an accredited test (published by Mensa) at most mall bookstores for about $3. Most online tests are crap, designed to suck you into a marketing ploy, as well as make you look like a fool bragging that you're a genius, along with anybody else that takes it.
I agree with you completely!
It is such a rediculous thing to even think that EVERY pitbull is mean. So stereotypical of a narrow-minded person!
COMPLETELY agree.

Completely agree...
You just don't know who you're talking to these days. There could be things going on at home, or like you said, these people could be dangerous. Best to let the school district handle it.
I completely agree with you.
I'm not gay, but I totally see where you're coming from. The fact is, is that gay couples are no different from straight couples.
One of my favorite entertainers is a guy by the name of John Barrowman, who I think is a little better known in the UK than he is in the US. He is a very out and proud gay man and one of the things he is a most passionate advocate about is showing people that there is not a difference - that a gay couple goes through every day life just like a straight couple does.
I used to work with a man who was gay and he said something that really struck me one day. He said being gay is about who you're sleeping with, and that's no one's business but your own.
I agree completely. There would be no other
reason for her complete change in behavior.
I completely agree and ...
There are loads of rumors flying around about him cheating, however, there are just as many floating around about her cheating with one of her bodyguards. You could tell on the show that he is completely miserable. I believe that this man just wants a normal life, she has been pulled into the lime light and loves it. She travels a lot more than Jon does and admitted as much in an interview that she gave. She is giving speaking engagements and doing book tours and is gone for weeks at a time. Jon gave up his job to stay at home with the kids, like Kate, and I have to wonder if that is not where some of the problems started. I know from working at home for years that you can lose your identify if you are not careful and with the television crew there all of the time, all of the filming that goes on constantly, you have to wonder if he has not lost himself, again, I certainly think that she has.
There are so many possibilities here on what happened, how it happened, who is at fault, etc., etc., but I truly hope for these 8 children, as well as Jon and Kate, that they can salvage things in the end, if they truly still love each other.
I completely agree .... sm
Jon was not the only one that was accused of cheating, it has been reported for months and months that Kate was cheating with one of her body guards, actually before the news broke that Jon was caught cheating. Unfortunately I do not have much of a life, sitting in front of the computer most of the time with the tv on, so I have watched this show quite a bit. I have seen changes in both Jon and Kate, but IMHO, more so in Kate. She has really been big on the cosmetic surgeries, going to the spas and making it more about her than anyone else. On top of that she has always, ALWAYS, been so dominating when it comes to Jon and even as the guys from the bike show (okay don't watch that one), said, she definitely wears the pants in the family. I believe that this is a situation where it really is 50/50, she likes the fame, fortune and running everything and he wants a regular life, a regular family and to be the man of the house. He even stated last night that he had found himself, had learned to stand up to her and that had caused even worse problems.
Again, these are just some of the things that I have seen and are my opinion.

I agree completely! It will be 30 years for us
in June and I definitely want him around for at least another 30.
Completely agree with your post. Don't bring sm
ANYTHING to school or on bus. It will get stolen and how could you even prove the game belonged to your son?
Agree with chalk it up to experience.
As far as calling parents: You will be the one cursed out. They will never believe their little darling could pilfer anything.
I agree, 2 is too young for boys.
My son turned 3 in July and he has only shown passing interest in potty training. I know I will need to help him with his motivation soon, but for now I am not even worried about it. I also have a 7yo daughter who was potty trained at 2-1/2 and she was very easy. It's true what they say about boys being different than girls when it comes to potty training. I say don't force the issue. I think that tends to complicate things.
completely agree w/your point on legal/illegal, but sm
I wish the outrage regarding illegals was across the board. When it comes to Mexicans, since they benefit big business and since their only dirty business is under their fingernails, it's okay.
I'm just saying we shouldn't have one standard for one religion or race and a different one for another.
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.
I completely agree with you. Cats much happier inside. Hard

I agree completely with Jerrie, Call your local Division of Family Services and they can help
tremendously, especially if she is a danger to herself or others. They can take custody of the elderly, as they can the young children, and protect them from all sorts of abuse, including themselves. You will not be a bad person for doing this, but perhaps a Godsend.
My prayers are with you.
Irresponsible? She's 8! lol
You are too much. This is why kids are having sexual relationships, walking around half dressed and doing whatever they want by the age of 12, because everybody wants them to be responsible and act like adults by 10. It is so sad that kids can't just be kids anymore.
this is really irresponsible
of the league president/coaches etc to in effect breach the confidentiality of, and to deny, the request, because in all seriousness, depending upon this guys anger problem etc, he could conceivably try to get revenge. I believe if it were me, I'd followup with the president of the league with a written letter (cc to your husband's job), re-emphasizing what your husband's job said, the situation it has put your family in, and the hardship placed upon your son. That way, if there WAS a problem down the line, there would be documentation of the whole thing. It's a real shame, and so unnecessary, as it would be no major problem to move the boy to another team in the first place. Wishing the best for you.
SIL/MIL are disrespectful and irresponsible
not to mention how your daughter feels. Come on, did SIL even apologize to her niece? You need to tell them they are lacking compassion, among, uh, brains.
YUCK. Irresponsible to the WORLD. nm

Your husband is acting very irresponsible
I don't believe in talking responsibility to a person. That is something that comes from your backbone. Your husband is acting very irresponsible and I believe he plays video games just to upset you.
When a couple is going through difficult times is when you know the solidity and love in the relationship. Read the signs and try to move on.
no but usually irresponsible people in poor social
yes I had one and i was all of the above!! Now i'm on Depo and don't have that problem anymore
he/s probably always been immature
nm
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.

this post is irrelevant; you sound immature

Catty, immature, bored women like yourself are exactly the reason.

sounds immature and simple minded; treat him as such.

they ARE completely different
i can't believe you have a friend that had the nerve to compare her abortion to your miscarriage!!! im so sorry for your loss
I completely believe that. sm
I've never been separated from a marriage, but in 2 long-term (several year) relationships that finally succumbed to breaking up, we got along WAY better once we were 'only' friends. The change was immediate! Best of luck to you both. Sounds like you tried your hardest.
Understand you completely - sm
My situation is exactly the same. He can ignore me for weeks. I mean completely ignore me to the point that I may as well not even be here unless he has run out of clean underwear and socks.
Then when he gets a wild hair, I'm supposed to jump with glee? No thanks, I would rather spend my time planning for the day I leave his sorry self now.
