Telling them that they can all move out if they keep getting on my nerves! That felt good
You go girl, I tell my kids that at times too, must be a mother thing. My mum used to do the same.
Thanks.

I am also the proud owner of some very ungrateful teenage girls!
Soooo looking forward to that stage, not.
My daughter is two going on 16. Has so much attitude, I guess she takes after her mother.

Pinned Blouse,
I'm sorry about your brother.
The rest of your life seems to be going great. Congratulations.
About the boobie thing, by some really tastefull clothes that show em off, I did when I was pregnant. Now if I want that look I have to use a push Up bra. My kids sucked the life out of them.

LOCAL JW BUSTED FOR KIDDIE PORN
by new light ini just saw on the local news that a jw i have personally met and whose family i know was arrested for child pornography.
he is only about 30 years old.
this is the second case in 2 months involving an arrest for a child sex crime within the same congregation (the man on the news actually moved away a few years ago).

My child was molested by a 12 year old unbaptised publisher in the congregation. My son was three at the time.
The elders supported us untill we went to the police, then they supported the child who molested my child. They did not even talk to my son, said that they believed my childs molester.
Thought that my kid was making up stories, do they no know that kids can not make up stories about stuff they don't know.
They said that nothing could be done to my childs molester because he was not baptised. But they still took him out witnessing and to quickbuilds.
I was warned that if i told anyone I would be up for slander, told them they could disfellowship me for all I care but I would be letting all in the congregation with small kids know what he had done. The police backed me up with that.
You can have all the advise in the Elders Books but unless the elders do what they are supposed to do then it's all a bunch of crap.

Please tell me your story of.....

Did not tell him that I was definatly out, just that I could not do it anymore, had been hurt too many time by the organisation. Maybe one day I would feel differently.
He was not happy about it and tried for ages to talk me out of it, told me that my mother and father, no longer Jdubs, had influenced me.
Gradually he tried to accept it, every now and then would ask me to go to the meetings, but apart from that did not hassle me too much.

Our dear Jackson is sick again . . . . interesting parenting question
by cruzanheart inthis is starting to remind me of my childhood.
of course, the plus side is that i grew out of most of it, but it was hell while it lasted.. jackson (our 8-year-old) had his tonsils and adenoids out the beginning of june, in an effort to help reduce the number of infections and viruses he's been getting.
he's allergic to a lot of stuff, most of which grows in texas (where we live), and we've tried allergy shots on two separate occasions which reacted badly on him.

Dear Nina I hope Jackson is alright, I know how horrible it is when our babies are sick.
Question about Older versus younger mothers. I know both, my best friend in the borg and I were the perfect example. I'm a younger mum, One at 24 the other at 28. She was about 8 years older than me and we reised our kids together. She was a great mum, had heaps of energy and did heaps of cool stuff with her kids. I was younger but did not have quite as much energy but was better in othe ways, I'm pretty nuts and used to do haeps of crazy things with the kids. I also had a lot more experience with kids so was good at comong up with ideas and help when they were sick. ( worked in a creche for 7 years before I had kids of my own)
I think it depends on the individual parent. I've seen some older and younger mum's totally botch up parenting. Then I've see both age groups be fantastic parents. The big difference see with older and younger parents is the help they get from relatives. My girlfriends mother did not have the energy to look after the kids a lot, wheras my mum being younger did.
My thoughts on the subject anyway.

Tipping the Gal who cuts hair
by Jim_TX inokay... i may act like a hick from a small-town... but... i'm curious about something.. what is the 'proper' amount that one is supposed to 'tip' the gal at the salon.
the one whut cuts the hair.. i've never really had a good idea... and i know that i look like a dufus... fumbling and mumbling... as i hand a dollar or two to the gal.. now... if i'm supposed to be giving something like $5.00... forget it!
i usually hand over 1 or 2 dollars - depending on how well i feel that they did.

My cousin and his father reckon that the one diference between a good and a bad hairdresser is wether she puts her boob in your ear or not. So I suppose the amount of her tip depends on the amount of times she puts her boob in your ear.
