JMO!

I had to live with an aunt during my high school years.  She always loved to keep kids but always had a problem with the mothers because she claimed they never disciplined their children.  She is a firm believer in spankings and tries to enforce it into other young mothers.  I always rolled my eyes ignored it because I figured the mothers would eventually find another babysitter.  She also kept foster kids but got them taken away for some reason.  She said a kid claimed she was beating them too much and the blank blank State believed the kid over her.   I was already in high school when I lived with her so she never touched me, just yelled at me a lot and I kept in my room until I was able to move out on my own.   

Anyway, H likes to talk to her husband and seems to like to go visit.  We visit maybe once a month.  We have 2 children ages 2 and 6.  If they are talking loudly or laughing loudly she threatens them with a flyswatter. She has gotten the flyswatter out and gave it to me to spank them, which I did not.  She also gets offended and threatens them if they sit on the couch too close together.  She tells me that her kids never acted as bad as mine because she carried a hairbrush or a flyswatter everywhere they went and spanked them with it all the time.  She also claims that her DILs are lazy, wimpy and stoopid because their kids misbehave and they don't spank them enough or hard enough, just barely pats them.  Lazy, wimpy and stoopid is actually a nicer way of putting it then what she actually said.  She started in on one of her DILs at a family gathering and got a whole plate of food her face.   She is so proud of herself because she raised 3 boys and spanked them all the time.  Maybe they behaved well as children but the are now adults with issues.  One is an alcoholic and never comes to visit, one is dead (car accident drunk), the other drinks a lot and cannot seem to wipe his own tail.   What if the next time she hands me a flyswatter, can I swat her with it?   Just tell her that she was the one who taught me how to handle people who get out of line.  Seriously, I really should say something when it happens but I just leave, then go home and stew.  I am way too much of a pushover and don't know how to get out of that. 

Maybe I am out of line but I cannot understand why someone would take it upon themselves to decide how and when to discipline someone else's kid and try to enforce their method parenting on someone else.  H and I take full responsibility for our children financially, getting them to school,  babysitters (which makes her mad, why pay someone else, she needs the money).  We never depend on her for anything with the girls.  

My 6-year-old does not really get in trouble in school that much except for talking.  The teachers say she at the top of her class and an advanced student.  The daycare has yet to say anything negative about my 2-year-old's  behavior and she has been in there since she was 6 weeks old.  They cannot be as bad as she is insinuating they are.   H just says, well if it bothers you that much we won't go over there anymore but he doesn't understand why I am so upset, he thinks I should just let it go.  

it also bothers me that she is going around town telling everyone how my kids are unruly and I don't do anything to discipline them. My boss has told me how derogatory she has been toward us, her children and grandchildren that she does not even like to talk to her. 

the enjoyment of forwarding them to my friends for their listening pleasure.  MUSIC IS THE BEST MEDICINE, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS OF ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OR ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

I've found that it keeps you focused, but I was used to listening when I worked full-time on-site.  I am quite accustomed to background noise from when my children were young, but now that they are in school, it makes me feel "not so lonely".  I do not, however, prefer the TV blaring unless it is on a music channel.  I think it is quite soothing, and I'm not real sure why....  lol 

I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and am looking for music I can download to my iPod to exercise by.  I'd really like exercise-specific music that includes a slower song or two for the warmup, then a steady faster rhythm for 30 minutes or so and then another slower song for the cooldown.

I suppose I could create my own list, but it would take me way too long to figure out 30 minutes' worth of songs with the same basic rhythm!

Any help sure would be appreciated.  I'm so tired of feeling guilty every time I walk past the treadmill that I just "had" to have.

Enjoy!  Cat

You have to download the music to your computer, then you can save it on the CD.  I use an iPod, but they do have restrictions.  IPods are set up as MP4 files rather than MP3, so you can't transfer the music back and forth from an iPod to say, a Zune.  I love the iPod and iTunes, though.  I'm big on the instant gratification aspect of being able to download the music, movies, and TV shows that I want.  I have 2 iPod Video and I use them both quite a bit.

About the free music - I don't know about those.  It's my understanding that any free music site is basically illegal (I could be wrong, though).  I've always paid for mine, so I don't know much about it.

Someone just sent us this neat site:  www.theradio.com   Type in any song title  and it will keep playing songs from that era.

Very new to this so need suggestions.

Can I download music to a CD -

Is an MP3 player or an IPOD a better way to go and which of these is the best

Any good sites to find music for free

Thank you
