When either person in a couple decides they don't want to have children, or the couple decides they are financially unable to support more children.
I mean, really, are there any invalid reasons to cease having kids? If someone has a reason for not wanting more, that should be it.
:iagree:

I just got my 3rd Coach for Christmas. I have a little Coach problem, lol. I recently discovered an outlet about 20 minutes away!

In the past I've had the Mario Bros. theme, the theme from Rocky, and others that I can't remember. I like to change it up a lot. Currently, I have The Chipmunks Hula Hoop song.

That is awesome!! :hurray:

Our church has a Christmas Eve service and no services Christmas morning.

Cool! Merry Christmas!

My Target is showing this one in stock. PM me your address and I'll send it to you. :001_smile:

Ok, the waitings have it. :001_smile:
Re: Free app of the day...will techie DS see them on his app or if he goes on Amazon on the computer? He goes on frequently because he is building a computer and checks prices.
They are each getting $50 Amazon gift cards from a relative, so they will be downloading like crazy on Christmas (hopefully Amazon is prepared for the onslaught - we've had Leapster and Webkinz disasters in the past).

I am so sorry. :grouphug:
My mantra to my kids is: flush early and flush often.

That stinks. I'm sorry. :grouphug:

LOL, hence my conundrum! :D
Anyone care to break the tie?

No, not at all. Maybe they do that with all video games, just in case. :confused:

We got our kids each a Kindle Fire for Christmas. It is pretty much their only present for Christmas morning, other than some small stocking presents and a few other presents from relatives. I have read some things online about the Fire being nitpicky to set up, ie, wifi not working right, etc.
I would hate for something to go wrong and one (or all) of them not be able to use their one and only present on Christmas day. I am leaning toward setting each one up before wrapping them.
My hesitation with this is that I know my 12yo would love to do the unboxing himself and set it up. He is very techie-minded and enjoys that sort of thing. The other conundrum is that he has the Kindle app on his iPod Touch and could see the Fires on the account (if I understand how it all works correctly).
So, what would you do? And if you have the Fire, did you have any problems with set-up?

I'm not sure what you mean by inexpensive, as that is a relative term, but we are on our second HP Pavilion and that's what I would recommend. We have the g7, but there are others in that line, too. We got ours at Staples and they are usually pretty helpful there.

I say, enjoy your new toy! My DH bought me a vacuum for Christmas one time many years ago. He never did it again. If I need a household item, I'll go buy it. Christmas and birthday gifts are for wants, not needs. (There were years when it was a very small want fulfilled. The amount doesn't matter.)

I have no clue what is correct etiquette, but in my family in these circumstances I use:
Woman's name
Man's name
Address
I don't mess with Miss/Mrs./Ms.

I am on all utilities, have my own credit card (we also have a joint one) and my own bank account (we have joint ones also). We don't have a mortgage. I'm not on the car.

I would get together with the aunts and throw the shower for sister #2 where she lives. I would call/visit sister #3 and talk with her about it beforehand. It may soften the blow, if there is one. I also like the idea of remembering #3's baby somehow.

Seems perfectly normal to me. :D

I voted that I would complain to the school. I would find it highly inappropriate and lacking judgement. I am not overly prudish, but I do not find the song the least bit humorous. Quite frankly, it's disgusting.

I do not understand why homeschoolers would want to hold a child back. It makes no sense to me at all. :confused:
Of course we teach our children at the levels they are capable of. But the "grade level" our children are "in" is, for us, purely for the purposes of putting our children in group situations with children of the approximate same ages.
In your case, if your ds's tests come back indicating that he does, in fact, have significant learning difficulties, then it would make sense to enroll him in school in a grade lower than where his age would put him. If you continue homeschooling, however, I would not "hold him back" a grade. What would be the point? Aren't you still teaching him at his ability? And how would you even do that? Make some sort of announcement? Apply to someone? :confused:
Not the OP, but I could have written her post, as my 8yo is in the same situation (even has an April bday!). I don't understand the confusion here. There are legitimate reasons to hold children back a grade, homeschooling or not. We have to report test results to our district every year in addition to the child's grade level. So it matters. It also matters in terms of Sunday school level, community sports, etc.
We did make the decision to hold DS back a year. He went through significant testing, so he knew that he was not at a 3rd grade level. The testing revealed no specific LD, but he was reading at 1st grade level. We made the decision to consider him 2nd grade this year and test him at 2nd grade at the end of the year (again). He will be going to ps next year and we will enroll him as a 3rd grader.
DS knows he is behind and was actually relieved when we told him he was repeating 2nd grade. He has several friends that are 2nd graders, so he was happy to be considered at the same grade as them. He knows he will be 3rd grade next year. So far, he is fine with it.

In the article, it says that during a geography lesson, the children asked the teacher to show them where the North Pole is, since that is where Santa Claus lives. Couldn't the teacher have just shown the class where the North Pole is and left it at that? Just move on with her regular lesson after? What she did lacked judgement and maturity, imo.

A few years ago, Improv Everywhere had 111 guys walk into the A&F in NYC and take their shirts off. They all got kicked out. You Tube video

I would cook what you normally cook for your family for meals and maybe get a few junk food type items you know she likes to have on hand. As far as the activity, I'd take a daily walk and invite her to come with. If she doesn't want to go, tell her you'll be back in an hour ( or however long it takes).

I have this app for couch to 5k and it allows you to choose whatever music you want from your ipod. I usually make playlists, then just let them play. The prompts from the app will talk over your music.
