Fluff - How old do you feel??

by Super_Becka in

jw
friends

digitalfokus has a thread going for how old you actually are, but my question is, how old do you feel??.

you don't have to say how old you are, just how old you feel (and maybe whether that's younger or older than you are), and i'd like to know why you feel that age.

i'm just curious because personally, i don't feel my age and i was wondering how many of my fellow jwders don't feel their age.. i'll start:.

TV series&movies-CURSING!!!

by BlessedStar in

how do you feel about tv shows & movies at present?.

do you think it is appropriate for children to be viewing comedies with cursing and sexual encounters?.

don't you think movies have more cursing even though they are rated "g"?.

You know, I agree with most everyone here, if it's too much for your kids YOU are the one in control. You aren't going to control what is being made out there in the form of entertainment so deal with it. I had a system with a friend of mine that saw movies usually before I did. She'd tell me if she thought it was too much for my daughter or not. We went with that. Now, she makes her own choices, I trust her. She loves scary movies & now tells ME if I should ever watch it or not. Those movies are rated NFM (not for Mom)

Now, I do the same for my son. He knows he has his own movies & there are movies we have that he can't watch just yet. He doesn't watch my shows with me. As for TV, TURN IT OFF if you don't like it. YOU are the parent! You know what your kid can & cannot handle.

Fluff- Why?

by Sparkplug in

jw

bear with me because this is going to be a big pity party.

in my life just this last year i have done and survived through a lot of things.

i actually am very sensitive to people that i love and their feelings.

Wow..good on ya Daystar...

I'm impressed that you've taken on the roll of single parent for your son. It's not easy but it's very rewarding. Nothing is better than watching your child develop & come up with their "own thing" as to why things work the way they do. I'm impressed because you don't hear so much of the father taking on that role. I know they are out there, but it's heartwarming to know that those of you fathers that do, really do!

With my son he's got his dad, sometimes I wish he'd go away, but deep down I know he's good for him in his own way. Right now his father & I are enjoying a lull in our relationship, that is he's learning to cooperation with not only me, but the court system. It's been a rough road, and there are still some bumps, but I'm in a place where I can tolerate him again. I feel that is important to our son, to see us "getting along" instead of how things have been for the last 3 years, but I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. He's still being taken to "meeting" and as last Tuesdays' meltdown indicated to me, he's not enjoying it one little bit. I take him to my church, where he goes into a class with kids HIS age & learns on his own level.

Just wanted to say, from one single parent to the other, Good for you! We all continue to learn in this crazy thing called Life!

(((Sparkplug)))) What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger eh?? Keep your chin up!

I fluff because I am not nor never was a JW. I can't contribute to most threads, I lurk mostly to try to understand my ex and get a grip on what HE is like now...albeit a bit late. It's more for my son, so I can be better prepared to explain to him that there are options out there for him, and to understand he has a choice.

Post-Valentine's Day rundown and damage control

by Super_Becka in

jw
friends

ok, time for an update on the situation over here, post-valentine's day.. here on my own, valentine's day wasn't too horrible, it definitely could've been worse.

i got cards in the mail from both of my parents (and there was even some money in the card from my dad!!

on the relationship front, it wasn't as disastrous with my jw boyfriend as i thought it would be.

Seeking Knowledge

That's a good sign for you. Maybe he'll come around completely.

I got home last nite to my entire house being clean. Dishes were done, all the laundry was done and there was a single red rose & 3 home made cookies on my table. Things were put in their place and my bed was made. Even my son's room was clean. This was all the result of my 16 year old daughter who wanted me to have a good day. I was floored. Not that she cleaned (moreso that she did the dishes...she NEVER does the dishes..and I'm talking an empty dishwasher!) but that she went out of her way to do all of that for me. Brought a tear to my eye.

The three cookies were one for me, one for her little brother and one for her little brother's dad, my ex...the JW. When we met last nite to drop my son with him, I showed him the note she left for me spelling out that one of the cookies was for him (she put our initials on each one in icing). I did see a tear in his eye. He took the cookie. He's having a rough time right now, and I wanted nothing more than for him to see that we're not all bad.

I think I'll keep her.

The thought of meeting his whole family scares me - is that normal??

by Super_Becka in

ok, i was talking to my jw boyfriend on the phone for a while last night, and we were talking about some plans that we have for this coming summer.

one of these plans is a family get-together / camping trip that his family does every year.

i'm all gung-ho for doing family events with him, but while we were talking about it last night, i got really anxious about it.. i'd thought that it was just going to be his immediate family - parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, that sort of thing.

Seeking Knowledge

They're the only ones that count anyway. I'm sure that the fact the entire clan goes camping each year you'll have to hear about it if any of them are hard core dubs, but I'd think if they were, they wouldn't go camping with the more liberal ones. Maybe??

Just be yourself and have fun. Smile & nod your head if the conversation goes towards why you're not a JW or religion, and makes sure you keep the smile on your face. You'll get thru this without a scratch I'll gather. Don't forget you're there to have fun so if it gets too much, grab your man & take a walk...come back with twigs in your hair....

Have fun!
