If you can stand the hoards of kids and want summers off with your own, I'd say
s
more advice - you'll be no good to those kids if
I was there - for 12 years - and my sanity was going - married to a passive-aggressive (oh and there are female passive-aggressives out there too *hint hint - his MIL*).....and I couldn't take it - when my child was 7.....and by 9, I cared more at that moment about what I was feeling (brink of possible loss of sanity/stability in myself) - and I chose to save myself - I, once again in life, became my own hero (I did the same at 17-18 when I chose to leave a shaky home)....I knew that I'd be an even BETTER mom if I didn't have him draining on me - and so it became!! My offspring is nearly 27 and turned out great (no thanks to the DH and my D there isn't for DEAR but lots of other D's).....
Save yourself or your children will NOT be getting your absolute BEST.....
best of luck to you sincerely!!!
Signed: Better to raise kids in a happy divorced family/house than a miserably married one......
BTW, we would have gladly
ordered the corsage but the girl that asked him (she is a junior he a sophomore and they are just friends) feels terrible that he has to spend any money at all. We don't see it that way but she is just an incredibly sweet girl.
judge not lest ye be judged I always say.....nm
judge not lest ye be judged..........
Yes, I will gladly pay my share of
taxes (as always) if you will quit throwing money down the toilet for your increased healthcare costs. You aren't doing us any favors. Quit lying to yourself - you lose even more than we do since you are throwing away your health for short-term comfort. Selfish, selfish, selfish.
I would gladly not interfere
with the bond between the kids and bio mom, if there was one!!! How can there be a "bond" when their not even around? Crazy.
Its to bad that peoples insecurities and jealousies cannot be overcome even for their own children's sake.
If I saw this, I would gladly give to the animals. NM

The Bible is also pretty clear when it says judge not lest ye be judged.

she absolutely can be judged harshly; any teenager should be for this reason

thanks! :) I'll see if he'll ask some female friends SM
Thank you everyone! It has been great reading all of your responses! Goodnight!! "See" you all tomorrow!

It didn't work out due to combining of kids and step kids. nm

What does LOL stand for.
Use to think it meant lots of luck, but that doesn't pertain to this board.
I Can't Stand Men Your Age Either!!
I married older because I thought he would have his you-know-what together. WRONG! He went down, financially-speaking, and took me down with him. I heard he's in the middle of divorcing his third wife (I was his second).
But...boy, did I love him.
I can't stand him ever since
he did the show on Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome and called the show "extreme disorders." That was pretty crappy. And the Asperger kid's parents were totally abusive and Dr. Phil didn't even call them on it.
But I have to admit I watch it, its like reading National Equirer- I'm drawn to it but embarrassed to admit it!
What's HMR stand for? n/m

Can't stand her!
The reason the paparazzi follow her is because they know she will do something ignorant like she always does. You don't see many other celebs being chased like she is. If she would act like a decent adult then they would have no reason to follow her around. But she continues to act like a child to get the attention she wants. It makes me the maddest because those paparazzi drive so recklessly, and one of these days they are going to injure or even kill someone when they hit them head on by driving down the wrong side of the road. Ugh. Makes me sick. Like the OP said, STAY HOME! Its like the time she drove with her baby on her lap and everyone coddles her and told her it was okay, people make mistakes. Um, NO. That is not a mistake. That is a blatantly wrong thing to do. I am just so tired of her, and I wish she would drop her custody case and just let Kevin have the boys. At least he is stable.
I stand by what I said.
Her daughter called and maybe she did think her mom was upset, but the fact that her mom got annoyed by this is just insane. If she was on an important phone call with her dying aunt, why she bothered to answer her other phone, no matter who was calling, is beyond me. As a result, she posted this topic about whether she should let the answering machine get the phone or she should disconnect her phone. That is a no brainer. If you don't want to talk to someone or are on another important call, let the answering machine get it. She made mention that she might let the answering machine pick up all of her daughter's calls and not call back just to see what her daughter will think.....isn't that a bit childish.
So I don't know her whole family history and maybe her son is an ungrateful turd. If he won't talk to his mom because she got money he thought he deserved, that is his problem. But for her to not be the adult and bigger person by at least trying to mend that relationship......as far as I'm concerned, she can't blame everything on him if she isn't willing to mend it either.
As for her happiness and family getting her down....sounds to me as if she is the one who thinks her family owes her something since she bailed her son out of jail and paid for her daughter's college. If she is so happy with her laugh and content, why in the world she is posting on here about whether or not she should let the answering machine pick up her daughter's phone calls?
I have no sympathy for someone who isn't smart enough to make the decision of whether or not to answer her telephone.
Stand up!
Why do our companies never stand up to dictators like this? I have one who honestly sounds like he's drunk and he speaks English as a first language! I call him smushmouth because all I can understand is smusha-smusha-smusha at any speed level. I had one at an old hopsital who had narcolepsy! He would literally fall asleep while dictating so you'd have to sit there and wait for him to wake back up and then he'd start over or start in the middle of a sentence he never began. Drives me nuts.
What kills me too is that one of my in-laws is from Russia. Her mom was a doctor there. She can't become a doctor here because she says her English isn't good enough and it costs so much money to take the tests to get her reciprocal certification. Heck her English is 10 times better than half the idiots we get so how do THEY pass the test? Sorry needed to vent today!
I can't stand...
walkie talkie cell phones. It's bad enough to hear one side of someone else's conversation standing in line at the grocery store. I DO NOT want to hear BOTH sides. Especially if it's a dumb argument. Take it outside or wait until you get home!
can't stand the.....
GEICO caveman commercials... I just don't get it...
...especially the one where the caveman and his chick are on the beach with the metal detector and he finds keys with a GEICO key fob and tosses down his equipment, then the girlfriend picks it all up for him... yeah.. in his DREAMS!! LOL
maybe not the stand, but instead I am
Maybe it was on purpose. The man who gave Obama the tour died two days later.
I can't stand him.

Can't stand Rosie, but never ....
thought much of Donald either. I can't believe how much attention this whole thing is getting. I wish they would both go away.
I had PMS so bad I couldn't stand myself let alone anyone
else. I got a great PMS pill from a chiropractor that helped a lot, and after moved from that area I would buy mega-B vitamin pills and take them. They really made a difference. Good luck and, believe me, you have a LOT of company! I had PMS long before they ever put a name on it.
I can't stand TV in general.
I watch MAYBE 1 hour a week of regular ol' TV and that is just local news blurbs. I am a big movie fanatic though.
What I really can't stand about the crap coming over the airways is the constant barrage of DRUG ADS--whether they are for prescription drugs or OTC stuff. It's just too much.
I saw a spot on the news about how stores are contemplating putting in little LCD screens into those "kiddie carts" that the adult can plug $1 into, put the kid in the plastic car/cart thing, so the kid basically can stay numbly tuned into some show while the parents shops in quiet comfort.
Heaven forbid kids are made to behave while out in public. Oh don't even get me going on the sheer retardedness of it all...
I never could stand all the talking over each other.
From the very beginning, it seemed like at least 3 of them were so excited to talk they were hyperventilating and jumping in and talking over each other. Not my cup of tea.
I can't stand doctors like that who won't
listen. At least a colonoscopy is good for about 10-15 years, LOL.
Dont think you have a leg to stand on
The difference between owning and renting is what you are up against. The swimming pool does not belong to you, nothing around there as far as buildings and so on is yours. The owners have the right to come onto their own property, I would think, and throw down as many cigarettes as they want, they own it, right? Otta luck, seems like.
Do you have a backbone, can you not stand
up for yourself? People only take advantage of you if you let them. I have a very good word for people like this, NO.
Good for you, stand your course
she should have been sent home and should not be allowed to return. Your home, your rules.
me2-cannot stand Jen and was angry she got HOH
I cannot stand her but I do like David

Can't stand limp ANYthing, actually! LOL..nm

typing stand
Does anyone have any idea where you can find a typing stand like the ones we used for typing class? I'd like one with a ruler or something attached to keep my place on the document. I'm having a really hard time locating this item. Any clues? Thanks!
copy stand
Excellent! I was able to find a lot of them searching with copy stand. Amazon seems to be best source. Thanks!
he was boo hooin on the stand, probably what did it
in the pen
I can't stand working for
n,m
Eww I can't stand Syesha.
Way too cocky. If she had half the talent she *thinks* she has, she would be amazing. But she doesn't.
I just CAN'T STAND drunks. So I think they
18-year-olds are dumb enough already. They sure don't need to be compounding that with alcohol.
I absolutely can not stand when someone..sm
here just throws out there get a divorce. Divroce is not always the answer and not always that easy. I have a very good marriage and our DS is graduating this year. If DH wanted to attend something else instead I would let him, but I guarantee the locks would be changed when he returned. I am sorry that this is a problem for you, I get along quite well with my family as well as my in-laws so I don't have to put up with a lot of BS. You said "my son" so I guess he is not the biological son of your husbands. Always put your children first. If other family members don't make it to the graduation, so be it. I understand the hurt, but once again just be there for your child and to He!! with the others.
you just have to stand up and take action sm
You don't have to make a decision to leave him, you don't have to hate him. You do need the truth from him and an apology with remorse. I am picturing you all being young adults when this happened, is that the case? How old was he? How old were your sisters? If he was a young man and they were young adults it was still wrong of him but he could have changed his ways and regret his actions. If they were children, that is completely another story. If that is the case, I would not be able to stay with him if I were you. But you need to stand up and tell him that you believe them and that he needs to confess and apologize and reassure you that it has not been a recurring them throughout your marriage.
my hands are freezing. cant stand
typing with cold hands. the smallest draft of cool air just kills my hands. anyone with teh same prob?
I can't stand her and I think she should keep her fat trap SHUT!
take a stand in life issues
that really matter. Don't dilly dally over irrelevant issues. Wake up, smell the coffee, listen to the birds sing, take a walk in the sun. Life is too short to always be mad and look at others and bring them down because what makes them happy makes you irritable. you might have a characteristic or mannerism that someone does not think is a pretty sight.
What the heck does CRCT stand for?
I live in Virginia and they take SOLs here. My daughter will have to take it for the first time this year, but I've heard that if they don't pass the SOL test then they don't move on to the next grade!! I really hope this isn't true, it's a LOT of pressure.
who cant you stand on TV: me: shawn hannity

I can't stand Julie Chen but like BB...sm
Julie Chen just seems so FAKE to me.....don't know if the pictures will show up but the link is below it to see her before her surgery....1996..
I do. My little Lily is barely 2 yrs old. She can't stand to be alone.
But she doesn't like other cats. I guess she thinks she's human. Our previous cat lived to be 20 yrs old, and for 20 years, she barely noticed that we were in the house. Our new little one isn't cuddly. She doesn't want to climb in your lap or sit right next to you, but she does want to be in the same room. She has a basket on a window sill in my office, and she stays there while I work all day. If I get up to go the bathroom, I will always find her sitting just outside the door when I come out. She follows me all over the house. We recently left her for a week while we were on vacation. The neighbors came and fed her, but Miss Lily was too shy to come out and socialize. When we got home, she could barely stop meowing and won't let us out of her sight. Poor thing must have been traumatized!
I agree that your husband should stand up for you
If he refuses to do so, quite honestly, if it were me, I would divorce him and take the kids to the other side of the country and live near YOUR parents. Let them come all the way over there to visit the kids.
Your children too young to have been affected too much by the situation, but as they grow older, they will find themselves in the middle of this family feud. That is a very unhealthy atmosphere for them to be living in.
I have caused problems for myself more than once in the past for demanding to be treated with respect, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. If your husband won't do it, then you will have to.
Can't stand a limp fish
handshake . . . my 8th grade English teacher insisted that she would not pass anyone who would not learn how to correctly shake hands, and consequently I have had more than my fair share of comments regarding the strength of my shake :)
When other females offer the limp fish, I'm pretty much disgusted by it.
