Susan in TN Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I nearly forgot about a surprise 50th birthday party that we are going to tonight. We had planned to watch some of the new season of The Tick with the kids - we'll have to postpone it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Why is it so difficult for adults to speak to children? I took the boys for haircuts and the barber kept asking me questions. So I would direct the question at the kid and let him answer. Over and over again. You would think he would've started asking them directly, but no. It's so strange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 My FIL (with the foot womb) just wrote in his weekly email that he tried to drive the other day and ran into another vehicle because he lost control of his leg. I don't know why he thinks he should be driving when he can only walk heavily assisted. :svengo: Thank the Lord he made it down the mountain alive. YIKES!

Last time we went, Weapon X asked for 'Wolverine hair' (with the side spikes). I was cool with it, but I completely understood when the stylist checked with me first. Today, Captain Mal wanted a very normal spiky little boy cut, and Weapon X opted for an extremely modest side part. I think irate and overprotective mothers probably have a lot to do with it. But how are my children supposed to learn that their voice matters if no one will speak to them? On the other hand, I guess it is still a life lesson. After all, if you want people to listen, a lot of times you have to make them hear you. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We have to get haircuts next week, and I have to get colored again. My possum is showing. My stylist always talks to my kids. I typically go sit out front in foils and they go get trimmed. Last year Turtle 1 brought her a pumpkin he grew in the garden as a present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ds17 hated when the hair stylists would talk to him -- so much so that he asked me to please learn to cut his hair myself.

More like: "Have you finished your Latin?" and "Did you get the eggs from the chicken house?" and "Did you fold your clothes?" and "Can you take the dogs out for a walk?" :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I cut my boys’ hair. I put $20 in their college account every time I do. So, the belt on the garage door was installed upside down originally. No wonder we were having problems. Next week: phone calls about the roof issues. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) We had scrambled eggs, new potatoes and peas for dinner. Tomorrow I'm going to make stuffed tomatoes. (I don't care for peppers.) I suppose I ought to look up a recipe. I may have had a little leftover Valentine's Day candy for dessert. Come to think of it, it's almost time to buy Easter candy. I cut DS and DH's hair out on the back porch if the weather's decent. They both always get buzz cuts anyway. #lowmaintenance Edited February 24, 2018 by whitehawk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I have no desire to cut anyone’s hair. I told my husband I would screw it it up intentionally if he tried to save money that way, so he shouldn’t even try. He only asked me to shave his neck once. I didn’t try to give him a rash. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite enjoying it until fifteen minutes later when he woke up and vomited. Into my hand. So he's been showered and I'm hoping there are no repeats. And I missed important plot points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday Dad wanted to go for a haircut but the place I took him to was closed on Mondays. One of the options I offered him was giving him the same haircut I give DH. Dad liked that idea. Apparently he is still happy with his haircut! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
