Sorry -- I'd be demanding the school to release my child to me. This whole, "There's a potential mad-man coming to shoot up the schools, but hey -- don't worry! The kids are safely confined to their classrooms. Just stay home and don't worry about it. BTW, we may not send them home at the normal time today, but later," just wouldn't fly with me. I started teaching the year Columbine happened. Our school instituted all of these lock-down procedures and they were crap. Most of our classrooms had windows in the door and those accordian walls. All it would take for someone in the building to break into a locked classroom would be to break one of the windows and unlock the door. At that point they would have access to every classroom on that side of the building.
I know, I agree.

There was a threat received pertaining to one of the schools and so they locked them all down. The first buses usually start picking kids up at 2 but they're not sure if they'll be releasing them then. They do not want parents going to their children's school. Yikes!

I think so, which is why we take a week long break in October; next week, in fact.;)

I use it for my 2nd grader and find the depth of the curriculum perfect for this grade level.

impatiently waiting for ours.....:glare:

Yes, my 10 yo ds, has gotten better in the last few years. He still sounds like he has a northern accent with some words though which is hilarious since we're southern folks.:lol:
-
When I remember, I respond to "Are you Mrs. So and So?" with
"What! X is married...." and I drop the phone and start shouting in the background. No one has ever stayed on the phone.

So, I do not like the social etiquette of calling a grown woman by a man's name. It is an outdated etiquette that no longer reflects the culture of today. And thank heavens.
:iagree:
-
I prefer the "Mrs. Lastname", I would of voted that I liked it. I DO NOT like it when kids call me by first name or "miss firstname". I tell my kids they are suppose to address adults as "Mr. And Mrs. Lastname" at all times. Children are not on the same level as adults and they should show them respect and honor by addressing them as the proper title.
I wouldn't correct a child who called me Mrs. Lastname but I always tell children to call me Ms. Firstname.

I'm not one who believes in teaching kids to read before age 5 or 6. I started in Kindergarten with all of my kids using Sing, Spell Read and Write(age 5 or 6). Well, actually, my oldest taught herself to read so she doesn't count. They all enjoy reading and are good readers.

I'm curious how you would prefer the envelope be addressed when it is to both you and hubby?
Mr. David Williams and Mrs. Jane Williams
or
David and Jane Williams
or
Jane and David Williams
or
Mrs. Jane and David Williams
or Jane Doe (because we forgot the name of that guy she married) :lol:
ETA: And how would you like to disseminate your preference to the brides-to-be who are pouring over their etiquette books, following protocol and offending people anyway. Sheesh!
#1 works nicely or even Mr. and Mrs. Williams.:) I've never mentioned it to anyone who may have addressed mail in this way but it is a pet peeve.
-
Why do you dislike it?
What's the big deal?
I like it. If I could command the world :) I would reinstate every formal convention lost to us. I may have my DH start refering to me as Mrs. P.
I don't like it because it's not my name. :lol:
-
LOL, you left out an option for "I like it." You must really not like it, since you can't imagine anyone else liking it!
:lol:
LOL. Sorry! I really didn't think about my wording. Must have been my subconscious talking.:tongue_smilie:
-
I do wish that DH had agreed to take my last name when we married, however.
May I ask why? DD says she wants to keep her last name when she marries.
-
Doesn't bother me at all.
When dh was in the Army, his nickname was Hendog. That meant that I was addressed by all (even the Battery Commander at one point) as Mrs. Hendog!:tongue_smilie:
So, addressing me as Mrs. Husband's Name is an improvement, I think.:lol:
:lol:
-
I am assuming you're talking about written communications. I don't know of any etiquette that says I should be referred to as Mrs. (dh's name)?
Yes, mostly written, though I do hear it alot at weddings.
-
No, a wife shouldn't. If a man has a family that is his #1 ministry. What good does it do to save the world but lose your wife and kids? I would hope that if a minister's wife was so fed up with whatever was going on he would take a long, hard look at the situation and fight for his marriage and family.
I honestly don't understand the mindset that gets more gratification out of serving others at the expense of their family. It happens all too often in the body of Christ.
-
Mr. and Mrs. Husband's first name and last name, i.e., Mr. and Mrs. David Williams
Fortunately, I am rarely addressed that way as I don't like it.
-
No longer available, rats!

I was thinking about this a few weeks ago. The word was in our vows 15 years ago and looking back I would NEVER say something like that again, not because DH isn't a great guy but it's misogynistic for a woman to be expected to obey her husband. Where's the partnership in that?:confused:

Got mine yesterday and have watched the first two hours. We're enjoying it.:)
-
Rarely. He serves me my plate more often then I serve him his.:)

It is so disturbing what our country has become. The government knows that fear will get us to give up our rights every time.
