Family - October 2006

Recently my daughter, who is pretty, responsible, has a firm grasp on morality, etc @ 19 , was being made fun of, being called old maid...prude...gay...etc..says to the "girls" who were doing it,
"Well ladies, and I use that term lightly, I could be what you are, I could have what you have in about 15 - 30 minutes ! but you can never have what I have"..

As she relayed this to me, I was extremely proud of her. I shared this with a few friends, 2 of which felt that mu daughter had been rude, or arrogant..Someone tell me, how that was rude or arrogant? My frinds must be jealous! Your thoughts?

Not all men are up for fathering on demand so we should be given a trial period with a kind of get out clause where we could possibly cut all ties after 2 weeks.

As well as our joint account, we allow ourselves £50 each per month that we don't have to account to the other for. I've saved £110.

The holiday is £160 - so do-able next month. It's somewhere he's been before and said he'd like to show me. Last year he took me to Copenhagen. I took him to Switzerland as a combined anniversary / Christmas / birthday present (LOTS of saving required!) We both love travelling.

The camera will be about £500. We have a digital camera, held together with sellotape. It works OK, but I'd like a new one - for taking photos of our travels! The plan was to get it in time for going to Norway next year (which we're saving for separately).

So - Prague or the posh camera?

When my son was small I used to call him "Tummy Tumpkin"
Don't ask why, I just did and it sounded so cute, but he thinks it was embarrasing. Now we all seem to call him "Bing" or "Bing a Ling" He always answers so it can't be too bad.
My daughter was known as "Boo" because my son liked to watch a cartoon called "Chicken Boo" and one day he just called her "Shannon Boo"
My parents used to call me "Mini Grot" or "Grotbags" who was this horrid green witch on TV. Thanx mum and dad!!
My bro was "Toffee Mouse"
If you had any or use any funny nicknames please share, I want to know I'm not alone!! lol

how do you discipline your teenage son/daughter whose on drugs, goes out everyday, steals from you, has bad grades, is into porn sex, wants to drop out of school etc...with all these controls on punishment we can't do anymore;
1- Can't give them a spanking anymore like our parents used to in the 60's.
2- Can't shout at them in public otherwise someone will call social services on you.
3- Can't withhold money from them, otherwise they could call social services and accuse you of 'sexually abusing them' or 'harrassing them'.
Ps: my eldest kid is 5 so not there yet, and hope never, but am just curious how parents are holding up with these kind of kids? any advice.

to have their own way and let them rule the roost..it is very bad.Parents need to be in controll of their childrens life let them respect you. Where i came from in the caribbean you disrespect your mamma and pappa you get a smack or punish always respect your elders that was the rule even if you don't want to

I love being involved in my kids' lives, but what about struggling with having their lives be so invasive? Sure, I can take a drive or go read a book, but it is so hard to have physical boundaries at home.
Realistically, one of them really does need help with homework each night, and I want them to feel free to come to talk to us anytime they want about school, friends and work (gotta keep the lines open as long as they still WANT to talk to you!). However, I dont feel like I have my own space anywhere! Yes, I am thankful they are at home still and know that one day they will be gone.

Money is also an issue, so I can't just add on my own room with a heavy duty dead-bolt :) which is what my hubby and I really need to avoid the pounding on the locked door and the little one trying to look under it when we get a rare night alone.

So basically, my question seems to be 2-part: I need alone, recharge-my-batteries-and-personal-growth-time AND and I need marriage time with my love.
