Don't let the children ruin the relationship you have with one another. Some day all those kids will be out of the house and there will just be the two of you. I know it is very difficult and as mothers we are tigers when it comes to our kids..We can be very defensive. Sometimes the kids do things just to get things going too. I have seen it happen. If you could sit down and make up the rules for the family and then stay united on the conquences of their actions whether good or bad the kids might straighten up and there would not be so much stress for both of you.

Thanks Juni for the beautiful flowers. I always take time to smell the roses now!! Didn't have time before with so much coming and going and trying to be everything to everybody and letting people use me to their advantage with no thanks...It is nice to get a bouquet of flowers just for being me....

I am obsessed also with this board..I rarely ever post as I am shy about it but I am here every day right along with you all. I have been through every emotion possible with this board. The people here are great and have encouraged me so much. Wherever we are in our stage of leaving we know there are other going through the same thing. We all learn from each other. We keep each other sane. No one else can imagine what we have been through or why we stayed. I am always happy when I see new ones come to this board. It is here we can find our peace of mind. I will try to post more.

My Childhood Friend had a heart attack.
by Undecided inwhen i was growing up from 7 to 20 years old i had the best friend in the world.
we were together at school and at our homes in the country almost all the time.
at night when we got our drivers license we would go out to movies, play pool, and just have fun almost every night except meeting nights, he wasn't a jw.

I hope your dear friend will be ok...I have a best friend too that I am very close to and I can't imagine how I would feel if anything happened to her. Keep going to see him and talk to him about your friendship and your memories together..Give him positive thoughts. Keeping you and your best friend in my prayers.

Please, $1 Only!
by Outaservice ini'm sitting up north in a snow bank and freezing.
if everyone on this board would just send me $1, it would not break any of you, and then i could go to florida and thaw out.
i promise not to visit any kingdom halls while i'm down there.

Canadians - This Hour has 22 Minutes - Going to see show being shot tonight
by kwintestal inreally, this tv show isn't shown much outside of canada, but is there anyone here that watches it?
tomorrow is mrs kwin (heart2heart)'s birthday, so we're going out tonight.
i was able to get tickets for the filming of this tv show, so we're going to watch it then get supper and then go to a bar and listen to a band or something like that.. i've watched the show for many years, it's not as good as when rick mercer was on it, but it's still good.
