Some kids think this is funny, their parents laugh

In Reply to: Another school rule... - Geez
and I for one totally agree with the school system. My daughter and her friends years ago thought that was cute to pass gas and belch out loud. She was called down on it every time I was around and thank goodness, she is now 33 and has finally learned how to behave herself and act like she has some sense. I think parents overlook their responsibility for not calling down kids on doing this. It is not fun for grownups and should be attended to promptly. Unless medical concern, it really shows lack of manners and upbringing.

Have to share a funny story about my parents sm
My parents are vacationing in Florida right now and yesterday while laying by the pool the saw a duck swimming in the pool. The pool area had a fence around it and they didn't want the duck to get stuck in the area. My mom described how ridiculous they must have looked chasing this duck around the area and trying to shoo it out the gate. Finally a man on an upper balcony said "Sir, you realize that duck can fly don't you?". I swear my parents are a hoot! Chop this one up for dumb and dumber. 
They are both the kids parents - they should both help (nm)

It certainly is sad for the kids and their parents but -
I would much prefer to hear about an 11-year-old or 13-year-old being abandoned under the Safe Haven laws rather than hearing about their mother or father deciding the only way out of a desperate situation was to kill their children and themselves.
The children are old enough that they have probably had numerous conversations with their parent(s) about why they are being left and how to find them later (at least I hope so.)
Dr/kids/parents
Need some advice. My 12 year old son has been ill on and off since October of last year. My hubby and I have had him to the dr. several times since October. In January a new care provider diagnosed him with Mono. He had missed 12 days of school with that and we were told it would take a great amount of time to get him over this, as he probably (according to the new doc) had mono at that time and was never properly diagnosed. After sending him back to school the 3rd week in January he comes home and relates to us that he hurts and is sooooo tired. This resulted in another dr. visit. This time we were told that he was still fighting whatever infection and this was normal. He missed a week of school with that episode.
This morning he wakes up and is complaining of an earache and running a slight fever. I am very concerned and have run out of ideas on what to do next? I just want to make sure he is properly cared for and there is not some underlying process going on that they are not able to diagnose.
Can anyone offer some advice to this worry wart of a mother.!!!!!!!!!!
Well duh....kids do need two parents BUT - sm
that is not always the case. Some moms and dad are just plain bad parents. In this woman's case she is trying to do the best she can, being mom and dad, and kid is trying to push it to the limits. Maybe the dad was the feared one in the house, certainly sounds that way, so the son now thinks with dad gone mom will let him do whatever he wants. Maybe that is what has happened with his friends. It is a lot of work to be a single parent. I have two friends that are single parents. #1--She left/divorced her DH when their only child was only a year or so old. He is $14K behind in child support but she is afraid of him so will not take him to court for the money. Luckily she has a very good job, and has now moved back in with her widowed dad to help take care of him. Her daughter is now a very well-adjusted 14-y/o who never sees her dad because he just won't make any effort. My friend has bent over backwards to try to get him to be an active father, he is just a total aaaasssss though. #2- Her kids actually begged her to divorce their dad. He was very verbally abusive and controlling. My friend had to hide money to have any. She would buy stuff at the store then return it for cash in order to save up money to leave him. The kids were quite happy with the divorce and hated to go to their dad's on the visitation weekends. Her daughter did it for about 2 years then refused to go--he of course took my friend to court on that, but luckily for the daughter she was not forced to go back to visitation. Now her son, 16, just told dad he does not want to visit with him anymore either. My friend is waiting for the court documents to come now...hopefully he won't take her back to court again. The dad puts strings on everything and they are not allowed to do anything over there, no friends, no TV, no electronics. Either clean the house, read, or stare at the walls basically, and be yelled at most of the time as well. He never takes them anywhere (to cheap), and spends most of his time tinkering with his truck or one of his motorcycles. He used to hold the child support hostage on my friend, would not give it to her if she ticked him off or until she would do something he wanted her to do, she finally got tired of that crap and went to the state and now gets it through the state/family courts. Only 2 years left on the one and 1 on the other so almost done with that. Then she can basically cut all ties with her ex, she will probably have a big party when the younger child turns 18. ----So in both their cases the dad's stink. #1's ex is AWOL basically, and #2's is a controlling jerk, it is his way or not at all basically. ----some men/women do step up to the plate and become better parents but I believe that they are the exception to the rule. ---I am sure counseling would help the entire family come to grips with the changes they are going through , and children need to be given firm boundries, etc. so they knows what is expected of they.
parents are suppose to be there for their kids, but he needs to get his s**t together
What kind of man lives on mommy? I am sure you don't want your son on this path.... I feel bad for you too! People go into the reserves so they can also have another job or go to college.... this sounds like a case for Dr. Phil... in fact I have seen this on there and he told the mothers to give them an ultimatum of either help out or GET OUT!!!
lazy parents don't monitor their kids or keep them on the right

Parents DO NOT owe kids college education.
When DD started college we paid,,,, at first. But she did NOTHING to help herself. From her part time job, all her money went to nails, clothes, meals out with friends, etc. She did nothing about getting scholarships. After 1st year, I said I wouldnt pay anything else. DH continued to help her. She did apply for scholarship thru DH work and got $2000. Of that money, she ended up dropping a class paid for with that money, cause it was too early (8:00am). Bottom line, she did nothing towards finishing school, in fact, quit going, did not increase work hours. I stopped giving her ANY money at that point. She ended up marrying Marine boyfriend and is now working at Dollar Store. These were HER choices, instead of completing her teaching degree, of which she only had 2 years to go. I told her why should I spend my hard earned money on her when she was doing absolutely nothing to help herself. She knew if she was making an effort to her future I would help her, but not if she wasnt doing anything for herself.
I think in this day and age parents should plan a way for their kids to attend college (sm)
$1000 a month is nothing compared to what it actually takes to raise two kids.
She made her choice but parents at least owe their kids a chance (sm)
She was given that chance and blew it - some would blow it and some would not. But I still think that with the way our country works today if you do not at least try to help your kids get through college you have not finished your job as a parent.
Help! Pushy parents think I work from home and can drive their kids etc
I am constantly being asked to watch people's kids because I work from home. The latest is a friend of my son attending the same camp in another town. The friend I will call Scotty. Scotty has two parents. His father works from home as a computer consultant. My friends and I have called Scotty's dad to work on our computers and he never even returns the call or shows up. Scotty's mom recently asked me if I could drive her son home from them because the dad gets busy and doesn't like to leave clients. I told her that I too am working from home and have to minimize my time in the car. Scotty does not live close to us. I feel like a big meanie but they have pushed me before. Last year our kids were not even in the same camp but the mom called and asked if I would drive and pick up her son every day because i live in the same town as the camp. I was like ??? no way.
They used to drop Scotty off at my house on school holidays. They would drop him off at 7 AM and then once the mom called me at 5 PM and said she wanted to get an oil change and asked me if I could keep scotty until 7:30 PM. I said NO and then she came to pick him up earlier but stayed at my house uninvited until 9:30 when I just said I HAVE TO GO TAKE A SHOWER.
Anyone have clever ways to handle these situations?
It burns me up when parents support their bratty kids' actions
This kid is going to get some bumps and bruises from the School of Hard Knocks, otherwise known as LIFE.
Poll for parents with school aged kids at home...sm
1. What ages are your kids?
2. Do they have their own cell phone?
3. Do they have their own TV and or computer in their room? If so, are there set hours they're allowed to use these:
4. Do they receive an allowance? If so, are they required to do chores to receive this?
As for our house, here's the answers. Kids are 15 and 8. 15-year-old has a cell phone and pays her bill. 15-year-old has a TV. The kids share 1 PC that is where we can see what they're doing on it, and they're limited to no more than an hour a day on it if it's a school day. We do have parental controls in place. They don't receive an allowance but they are aware of a special chores list that they can choose to do extra things around the house to make money. They are required to keep their rooms and bathrooms cleaned, as well as alternate cleaning up the kitchen after dinner.
Funny things your kids said or did that cracked you up
When my dd was around three I was cleaning and had her playing in her playroom. I turned off the vacuum and she was standing there looking up at me very intently. She says "do you wanna play a game mommy?" I dont know, what kind of game? I ask. She responded oh I dont know maybe some Milton Bradleys or Parker Brothers.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

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

Thanks for the laugh.

LOL, thanks for the laugh!
And yes, mine thinks his naked body is attractive too for some strange reason! Boy..if we only had half that ego..huh? lol
Thanks for the laugh!
By the way, I am currently taking a break to view these messages and not actively working.
This is your laugh for the day.....
Paris apparently is getting together a petition to send the governor for clemency so she does not have to spend the time in the slammer. Now get this, she says the reason behind this is she is a beauty for the world, role model and she otherwise brightens up lots of our mundane lives. Gosh, mine has brightened up already just by hearing that..........
Would never laugh at you. Everyone
has the right to feel nervous and worried about certain things and about being naked, well they cover you up and the doctors are professional so they should not be laughing at you.
Hope all goes well with your surgery and no cancer is found.
I have had my fair share of surgeries. I was always nervous about going under anesthesia. I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago because of early signs of cervical cancer. I am cancer free. Then had to have both ovaries out 3 years ago because of recurring cysts.
Again, good luck and try to relax. It will be over before you know it. Your health is your main concern.
Would never laugh at you!...
Just thought I'd share something to make the OP chuckle - it's really bad when you have to have surgery and the doctor is absolutely gorgeous - as happened when I had to have my gallbladder removed. You have to lay there before surgery with no makeup on knowing that he's going to see you naked!! Horribly embarrassing!
On a more serious note, I am 25 and may have to have a hysterectomy. I am absolutely terrified and was wondering if anyone could share their experience with how long it took to recover?
don't laugh!
 Probably one of the top is Urban Cowboy!!
That's okay - Don't laugh
I would never laugh at your choice. Mine is Saturday Night Fever. I've seen it over 50 times and can recite the movie word for word. Sad, huh? LOL. I'm a John Travolta fan.
I had to laugh at your ?
My daughter has never even had a boyfriend. This is not to say it will never happen, but my daughter is no where near ready to have sex. We keep track because she has problems with anemia and she also likes to be prepared when she knows it has been so many days. The first time I went to a gyno he gave me a set of cards to keep track so if there was every a problem we could track my periods. I was lucky, I was so regular I really didn't need the cards but at least I knew exactly when to expect it.
I had to laugh-
I live in NC. On the news the other night when talking about the drought gave some ways to save water. One was.........flush stool only when needed. Excuse me, why would we be flushing when we don't need too. Got a laugh out of that one. We are getting some much needed rain the last couple days. Probably had about 2 inches now. Not enough, but we will take what we get. Have had so many sunny days it is hard to deal with the clouds for more than a day at a time lately though:) Just gotta smile!
Thanks for the laugh...
LOL!
Thanks Luv to Laugh...sm
This has been real fun!....Now we're all gonna rummage through our old videos or hit the video store and have a blast.  Cat
Laugh if you want to,
but what does DH stand for? It seems as though you are speaking of your husbands when you use this, but what exactly does it stand for and why do you use it? 
The only I can think of that I always laugh at
is Warren Wallace of the Wallace racing family doing the Geico commericals. That little sneer on his face and the tooth pick hanging out of his mouth always cracks me up.
Thanks for the laugh.
I ought to print it out for my MIL to read so she can laugh too.
Okay, I did laugh, sorry...sm
but Moonies is a name I have not heard in a looong time and that name always made me giggle. Well, at least it sounds like you all are happy with your jewelry, so what the heck?
I might. I need a laugh.

Okay, don't laugh....
...but we live in the boonies in MT, and our small town doesn't have pizza delivery, and we don't do the store pizza thing. So.....
Haven't done this in over a year, but I will usually order two x-large custom pizzas (veggie for hubby; pepperoni and green olive, extra cheese for me), from Valentinos in Nebraska, where I grew up...get the half baked, and then they will freeze them, and send overnight, FedEx, packed in dry ice.
Last time, I think the pizza charge was around $45.
Delivery charge from FedEx was over $60.....
Expensive pizza...you betcha, and worth every penny once every year or two.......
And so......Nope, nada, zilch..... pizza delivery guy gets nothing from me.....lololol.......
Sorry but I have to laugh
This would be a great concept, but have you been to the politics section of the board. It gets really nasty.  People acuse people of things, republicans fighting against dems each bashing the other side based on their opions, and one who posted that something was offense to her and she got bashed for that.
My rule is I try to treat people nice all the time, but when you post something and get bombarded with other posts knocking you down it does put you in an arguing mode.
You are going to laugh at this one, but sm
Buy bags of ice (just what you want more of, huh?) and put them in the fridge/freezer for when the power goes out. We live in the south and have done this for years because of all the hurricanes and power outages. It really does help preserve food. Sounds like you have all your bases covered from all the fantastic tips people have offered up. Stay warm and safe!!
okay, had to laugh at this
1. You said "not being the spelling police", but yet you are being the spelling police.
2. Next, and this is what struck me funny... for some reason I don't think the SEALs are reading this board, so I really don't think they will be offended. HA HA HA. That just struck me funny.
This is a board where we should be able to be free from spelling, grammar corrections. We come to here to talk about topics and we leave the QA at the door of our workplace.
Funny looking Bob with the funny looking wife
Oh, PUH-LEEZE! LOL. Thanks for the laugh!
That's ridiculous. I think the house sounds fantastic.
We laugh because there is a clip
of Manning when he was little being asked who his favorite quarterback is, and he states "My Daddy" in that southern twang. He does fall to the ground though, you are right. So funny! Glad there are some football fans on MTstars! 
Wow, must have been some rectal! Thanks for the laugh!!nm

I had to laugh when I saw your post.
I have a neighbor who is a single mom with a 14- and 16-year-old and both are dropouts, so they're hanging around all day. She has a boyfriend with whom she spends most of the week, so these kids raise themselves. I find booze bottles thrown in my yard (over the fence), found a baggy with a blunt in it once (called the police because it looked like pot), loud music late at night - the whole 9 yards. Trash neighbors, indeed! My 8-year-old son calls them the hoodlums!
Thanks for making me laugh!
Cute post! Yes, it is yucky, but you made me laugh this morning. Thanks!
That made me laugh.
You are right about the gorgeous doc. My old OB doc years ago was so gorgeous. Beach bum, bleeched hair, dark skin and just gorgeous. I only saw him once. Not kidding. Couldn't go there.
I hope your hysterectomy goes well when you have it. My best friend had one 6 months ago, and fortunately she was able to have a vaginal hysterectomy and not abdominal. She was fine in a couple of weeks. Mainly just sore. Lots of good thoughts for you.
Thanks, for making me laugh.
This is so terribly hurtful. I guess you guessed it is my sister. We have had a history of ups and downs our whole life. I am the one to just let the hurt and hard feelings go to try to have peace. I will try to grin and bear it . . showing some teeth at times. Hope I can do it.
You are a regular laugh
xx
OMG! Thanks for that. Needed the laugh!!!
XX
Made me laugh. When I go in for my
BP check, I will use that line, but will say it is my
husband's driving.
Thanks for the funny.
