how do you respond
A few times I've met someone from the same city I grew up in and I say I am from xyz area. They always say something like you are really nice or I can't believe that or something kind of degrading. How do you respond? I kind of get flustered and do not know what to say! 
I've met people from xyz area and we joke about living there. It's commenting on the conditions, not our personal character. It's not the same type of degrading comments like above.
This isn't a big deal but I would like to learn how respond!  I could just keep my mouth shut and think before I speak!  The first time it happened I was not expecting that comment. I was very off guard. I never knew people would judge someone based on where they were born/raised.
Would never respond to my son
the way you did. I don't want this to turn into a fight. I just think that everyone is different and I wouldn't assume something about that way I choose raise my daughter is such a bad idea. Being a mother is the most underappreciated job there is. What is wrong with a little support/ or at least not thinking I am worried about my daughter getting pregnant?
I would have had to respond to her.
It's not like your friend or the daughters are world class athletes, so in the grand scheme of things, missing 1-2 classes isn't a big deal. Some people take things WAY too seriously. Yeah, I've got kids in sports and the coaches act like they're going to be kicked out of the Olympics if they miss a practice. Be there or be benched. Never mind if the kids are sick. Spread germs all over the place, but don't miss practice. And the coaches act as if the sports are more important than my other kids and my job. Little coach dude with the big mouth, I make way more money than you do! LOL Tell your friend that some things are more important than athletics, like FAMILY and ILLNESS. Some people have really messed up priorities. I don't know why they're having practice on a holiday week anyway. We've got games and practice all week. What if we had wanted to leave town to visit relatives?
Always respond regardless that the response is
Unfortunately, many people think if they don't respond you are supposed to take that as a "No". That is just bad manners. I once responded to a candle party with a "Yes" and the hostess even said, well I just put that on their. You didn't really have to call. Go figure.
We only respond to what you post.

I disagree with you, won't blast you, but will respond...
In my opinion, the largest selling holiday of the year is Christmas...period. If these businesses want to peddle their products, then they ought not pull Christmas out of their advertising. That stinks. I don't think it was ever mentioned that ONLY Christmas be advertised. BOTH, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays could be advertised together. But, on the Christian side of things, I think that they went too far when they tried to lump every other religious holiday together to try to be politically correct and remove Merry Christmas, which is a greeting that has been used for many, many years. Also, Christians don't try to push Santa Claus out of Christmas. Not every religious holiday falls on December 25th, so that in itself seems inproper.
You don't have to respond, just food for thought
Did I detect possibly the real reason that this is upsetting you so much? Did you have something happen in your life that you regret? Perhaps sex too early or with the wrong person?
Is your daughter responsible in the other aspects of her life? Good grades/work/etc.?
Unfortunately, as teenagers we don't always make the best decisions - I made some not-so-smart ones myself - but it is from those decisions that we learn more about ourselves. I know it's hard to watch someone you love going full speed ahead into a train wreck, but sometimes we have to. Unfortunately, I can't give you the secret to how to "detach with love" (I've found, like the poster above, that Al-Anon meetings really fit with every aspect of life, and this is something they say often). Again, I don't know how to tell you to do it. Once I realized I could not control my loved ones or their choices, it just kind of happened. Maybe just really think about why you are so disappointed and, if it has to do with a personal experience, maybe you should share that with your daughter. It may help her understand you better and vise versa. Best wishes.
Thanks for taking time to respond.

okay. Willl not respond anymore. Thanks. Nm

Amen! I was biting my tongue not to respond,
as it probably would have been in anger. And to have such a hostile spirit and then go quoting scripture. Whew. Does not give a good testimony, but you sure did. Thanks for saying it so eloquently and lovingly. The sinner in me also can't help but mention that the devil could quote scripture just as well as Christ. He was -- well versed --
yep, w/email today, no excuse not to respond!!
what channel, what time? I want to respond to that host in a negative manner

Bigger issue - a 16 year old living withi a 29 year old and liability
Are you still not responsible for him until he is 18, how can he tell you where he will live? Unless he emancipates himself and he does something wrong, can they go against you since you are his mother and legally responsible for him? I worry more about him living with a 29 year old sister rather than returning a house key to me that is a bigger issue.
My 14-year-old is going to be a mother-in-law (so funny) if you google it and 11-year-old daughter

55-year old woman has birthday sex with 12-year old
DAYTON - Gloria Murphy gave children celebrating her 55th birthday alcohol and then had sex with a 12-year-old boy at the party on Thursday, Jan. 29, according to police.
The boy got into Murphy’s bed at 5440 Rawlings Drive, where the married woman had sex with her adolescent neighbor, according to police and Montgomery County prosecutors.
Two of the children at the party ran home at about 6 a.m. Jan. 30 and told a parent they saw the boy and woman having sex, according to 911 audio.
The parent then called police at about 6:15 a.m., according to a police report and 911 audio.
Murphy did not force the boy to have sex, but since he is younger than 13, it is considered rape, Lt. Patrick Welsh said. No other children were involved in the sexual encounter, but some other children at the party consumed alcohol, according to police.
A 17-year-old would have the same goals as a 20 year old (sm)
Only the 20 year old is hopefully more responsible and based on what you say about his character, would be a better choice than someone her own age.
I have a 9-year-old son that sounds just like your 10 year old...
Lately he has been so negative about everything...trying to make him have a good summer and whenever I take him somewhere, he is just a brat when we get home...I think they are called tweens at this age...not quite teenagers but have the attitude like one---LOL
We skipped it entirely last year, and THIS year?
This 40-year-old got dumped for a 30-year-old

This year will be our 35th year
The first couple years it was literally 5 or 6 times a day every day (more on the weekends). Over time it gradually slowed down (once a day) and over the past few years its been 2 or 3 times a week. Not sure that is average or not. There were times were I felt it was too much and him not enough, then there were times where I wanted it more and he didn't. Guess everyone goes through a phase. I guess because of how long we've been together, now it's just comfortable - nothing exciting about it. Just a routine. I have to make it exciting in my mind and pretend I'm someone else.
I don't know what it is, but you are correct...after awhile the lust and infatuation wears off and you get in a routine. I guess for us it was that we really didn't know each other when we married (we dated for 3 weeks then eloped). Once I got to know him it was too late. Now 35 years later it is just comfort (and amazingly we never once used birth control and never had any kids). My mom still tells me she's amazed at the frequency of our encounters that not even once did I even have a "close call" with getting pregnant.
But 35 years once or twice a week and 3 or 4 times on weekends. Not sure if that is normal.
Sorry.. I meant
to say that they will assess a penalty on you this year. If you are unable to pay back the loan amount, prior to the end of the calendar year, the IRS will expect penalty fees. Your 401K company is obligated by law to turn this information over. If you close out your account, expect to have up to 40% withheld.
Meant to add
It seems as though almost all treatments for cancer have side effects which include a possibility of cancer later in life.
Oh, meant to say
I was going for guardenship of my father - set to be filed in court on Monday and he was killed going to see this woman over the weekend. I had no qualms about having the courts to step in, wanted them to because he did not want to listen to me, his only living child and next of kin.
I don't think she meant this towards the OP, but to --sm
the poster above her.
OMG! Meant SIL!!! LOL!!!

Meant to say IS IT POSSIBLE? NM

Meant to ask you below
Could you tell me what an M-team and an S-team are? Also, do you know what an LEA is? It may be that we are in different states and the terms are interchangeable with something I have heard of (I think I read something about an SST team, may not be the correct letters though).
Glad you were able to get things to go your way! We have always been pleased in the past and our son has always progressed very well in their programs, receiving A's and B's on his report cards and major behavior improvements, but they missed the mark on this one, and when my husband signed acceptance of their plan after their refusal to try what we thought would be best for him, he told them what would happen and his prediction has come true.
Perhaps this was meant for OP?
Not sure why you would intend it for moderator--didn't see anything in mods post that you had to stop.
Sorry, I meant --looking at it the right way--- no msg
LOL -Yep, what is what I MEANT to say - sm
Running on no sleep and just not making sense. I stand corrected!
it's exactly what she meant, you know.

Well.....I meant....sm
the time before the first ice age. Kinda of hard to believe that we are heading to an ice age when temperatures around this part of the country can top 100+ degrees in the summer and stay up as high as 70 in the winters. Weird weather.....
Anyhoo.....I also like to melt about a half block of the big block of Velveeta and add a can of chili to it and heat through until bubbly. Really good with Fritos, too!
I meant...
I know someone with a dog that gets loose often, and sometimes it is beyond your control.
Well it is according to how he meant...sm
how he meant it. If he wasn't playing around and was serious then I would be mad. I mean you never want to call your child names.
yes, that's what I meant - Thanks!

(I meant, " CAN'T see...")

What I meant was...sm
There's no debate because I am not arguing against ESC research.
All she meant
was please don't put it in the subject line...I didn't watch either show until this afternoon, so when I scrolled down and saw "Talking about AI" (or whatever the OP said) I just skipped it and came back tonight and read it after I had watched. That's all.
I meant to say
When I looked back at my post, I meant to say my mom is the only person we will leave a sick child with if we absolutely have to go somewhere, not that if we absolutely have to leave them with her. My mom is a retired nurse, as well as having great mom common sense after raising 4 kids with all the mumps, measles, chicken pox, colds, flu, etc that goes along with it. She's also close enough to pick them up from school if need be. It's just worked out really good for all of us. Like I said, I think she and the kids would have missed out on a lot if she had lived far away.
Thank you! That's what I meant. nm

Don't be dumb. I'm sure others got what I meant ;)

I said I competed when I meant to say He...sorry!
No way in this world could I stand in front of a crowd and make an impromptu speech. Give me something to read or act out and I am there but just flying by the seat of my pants, never.
You know what the poster meant
by spelling it wrong and who really cares. There is always someone out there to nit pick. GEEZ
