The reality is--and I'm sorry if this is harsh--but you are never going to get back to your normal relationship, that relationship has been ruined because you have a need to always be right BUT you can still have some sort of relationship in the future if you handle this correctly and apologize. You are his mother, is whatever you are mad about really worth NEVER speaking to your son or having a meaningful relationship with him again?

Is the person you aren’t speaking to your son and that is why they are asking you what makes you comfortable?

Would love a PM if someone doesn't mind..I'm a long-time member but not a frequent poster and I would love to be brought up to date since I missed the original thread. Thanks!

I'm so very sorry....

@Spryte if I am confusing you with someone else I apologize but if this situation has something to do with the horrible thing that happened to your mother then I am very very sorry that justice is not being served.

Thank you for the update, I'm glad to hear that you and the kids are doing well. I'm curious and you don't have to answer if you don't want to but do you think you would have felt differently if you didn't know the woman? And what happens when he gets another girlfriend and how would he handle it if you got a boyfriend?

Title says it all, she has been on my mind and I haven't see her around lately.

Actually I would assume it is set up this way to prevent abusers access to the teams. If this is Little League the an n all coaches must have their background clearances done in order for them to actually coach a team. If they were allowed to let other parents in to the facilities --parents that don't have their clearances--then an abuser could be allowed in. *Note: Yes, I know that having clearances is 100% accurate but it is a start, it shows that there are no convictions on their records, etc.*

A few months ago there was a thread about what to feed swimmers and someone recommended a book about feeding young athletes and when I went to order it from Amazon it was out of stock. I THOUGHT I saved the link but I didn't and now I can't find the thread(search function is terrible!). Does anyone remember that conversation and the name of the book? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a non-Disney hotel that is near Epcot? Thanks.

Thanks Night Elf, I will look into those!

I am looking for a secular, all in one program for my rising 6th grader. It is okay if it is online but doesn't have to be. I want something that is pretty open and go and that he can do on his own (with some help from me as needed). I currently use Seton (not through them, I just buy the books and we do it on our own) but am looking for something more secular. Thanks!

Okay thanks everyone!

If you had the opportunity to go in either November ( not Thanksgiving ) or early December, when would you go? And for 4 adults and 5 kids who want to stay onsite where would you recommend we stay?

Awesome, congrats! Where in PA are you? are you in the Philly area? I might be able to help you some or at least point you in the proper direction. As far as videos you are going to want to make sure that you are monetizing the videos, are they uploaded and monetized on YouTube? Feel free to message me....

This is one of my favorite bloggers and she happens to blog about fashion (and food!). She is a 40-something mom in the Philly area and in my opinion is realistic in what moms can wear and look good in. http://www.jolynneshane.com

I have no experience with Memory Manager but my recommendation would be to upload the pictures you need resized to picmonkey, resize them there and then save the new sizes. PicMonkey is very easy to use, you should have no issues but if you do feel free to ask any questions.

I'm in the same general area of you so I am following the situation as well. Thankfully, I am far enough away that i am not impacted directly by closures or by the worries that he may be in my yard...I have no idea what to tell you, just that I hope that this situation gets resolved ASAP. Hang in there!

Am I correct that I do need to report my daughter this year since she is turning 8 in August, right? Thanks!

Jeannie, what resorts are the monorail resorts?

Is the park hopper worth the extra money?

We really like Clue, we partner up a parent with a younger kid and play. It might take a few times but the kids get the idea and its fun to watch them figure it out.

I got tanks from Victoria's secrets that I really like. I bought them to be a bit snug and they are made to be long so they stay in place during working out. This is actually the tank I got, it is MUCH longer in real life...http://www.victoriassecret.com/pink/tees-and-tanks/essential-tank-pink?ProductID=5164&CatalogueType=OLS

I had this done in November and while it didn't last as long as I had been told/hoped I still LOVED it while it lasted. I'm hoping to have it done again right away.
