  1. If you know that your husband wants the best for them as you do, his best doesn't have to be or look the same as your best. If you trusted him enough to have children with him, I think you can trust him enough to teach them science! :D I would be thrilled if my husband had the time to do a subject or two with my children. What a blessing that your husband cares and wants to be involved!
  2. Hi! I know I am always looking for these kinds of codes around this time of year so I thought I would share it here. :) TOS has one in their magazine here: http://ow.ly/fK1Il Happy shopping! :D
  3. Take the time you need. You will not regret it. You WILL regret it if you don't because you will be so exhausted that you will not respond to your children in the right way. Just take the time you need-even if it is a few months off for the summer. It sounds like you are really on track already--or even beyond it. Enjoy the time with your little ones. Let me tell you how very fast it goes and that babyhood is gone very quickly. Enjoy it, enjoy the summer, school in the fall. :) Your baby will be sleeping better in a few months and so will you. Your mind will be in a better place and your children will have had their mother just be their mother for a while. That is a lovely thing for all of you. :)
  4. A friend of mine does this, and she really loves it. :001_smile:
  5. Oh wow! This is the one I was talking about. How sad. Thanks for posting.
  6. I cannot remember the name of the discount food service group - I think it has the name angel in it, but I simply cannot recall it. Can you help me out? Thanks!
  7. Wow. I would never encourage anyone I knew to get back together with someone that did this. It is not only immature, but clearly, he didn't intend to tell her! How appalling that he cared so little for her that he would treat her in this way. I would absolutely NOT encourage this relationship and I would tell her that there are men and there are MEN. They exist and she needs to move on and find one.
  8. Good thing I don't think that about either of them then! :lol: I don't think anyone here has said such a thing though.
  9. Since satire is supposed to be humorous social criticism, no, I sure don't. And I like satire on both sides of the political isle. It also is clearly not satire when you are supporting one side's super PAC to the tune of one cool million!
  10. I think you meant to say, "insulated" and not insulted. While she may be insulated from the realities of a tight budget, she is far from insulated from the realities of mothering five boys! That is what was being attacked by Rosen in my mind. She is a mother, first and foremost, as are most of US. We are all in that same boat. I find it incredibly insulting that Rosen felt it even remotely acceptable to bag on Anne Romney at all for doing what most of us here consider quite an important job--being a mother at home. Bill Maher speaks for no one I know and just continues to make a fool of himself. I look forward to the day he makes such a giant a$$ of himself that he has to leave TV altogether. Now that will be a sweet day! LOL Does anyone take anything he says seriously?
  11. Why not suggest a few days instead of a whole week? You can say that very nicely and still welcome them. "We would love to have you here, but with my mom here, it would only work to do this for two nights (or whatever number you like)." I think there could be a happy medium. We have done the sleep over on the floor thing before and it really isn't a big deal for a few days. A week is a long time though, and by the end of it, you would probably be quite tired of it all! :)
  12. :lol: It is just quite possibly the grosses thing I have ever seen. LOL
  13. I don't know if you are talking to me, but I don't pretend to express that I wouldn't be irked about it. However, we are the family hub and most events happen here whether I am up for it or not. I have grown used to it. LOL I would rather have good family relationships than not, you know? :001_smile:
  14. Oh, I am sure, but if you watch it, I am not sure that anything could make me eat the second one. :ack2::ack2::ack2:
  15. It would bug me internally, but I would still host it and enjoy my time with my sister and whomever might also join us. I would just feed my children earlier, take them to their meeting, come home and have a nice dinner sans children with the family. Lemons = lemonade. :D Could be a lot worse - you could have family that doesn't want to see you at all. I try to view it from the glass half-full vantage point. :001_smile:
  16. Ahhh yes. If you were Bear Grylls, you would have eaten it. This calls for one of his most disgusting displays of grub eating: This is GROSS. You must watch to the end. It is a sure-fire way of not eating anything tonight. Great for a diet! :lol::lol:
  17. Amen! I completely agree. I am glad my LL doesn't view us this way.
  18. I do see what you mean, but that goes entirely against the legal system's idea of being innocent until proven guilty. The assumption is that any homebirther is just as bad as a drug-addled mom. That makes no sense at all. It is entirely up to the staff to make that call. I don't like that at all, and I don't think it should be legal, frankly. My friend almost lost her baby to the system because some nurse didn't like her choices. There was NOTHING to indicate she was anything other than a normal mom. That's wrong.
  19. Yes, I am a big pro-homebirth mom, but I also really appreciate the hospitals for my friends that need/want them. I am not anti-doctor. I am anti-jerk doctors. lol Indeed, I am quite grateful for good solid medical care when it is warranted as it saved a friend's life when she had to have a true emergency C-section. She had planned a hospital birth, so there was no hospital transfer, but I will always be grateful for the care she received. I just want to be free to birth where I want to, if we are paying for it, and know that what we are doing will not result in our child being taken away if we have to transfer to the hospital! :)
  20. The bolded is a myth as far as I am concerned. SOME kids are ahead because they are homeschooled, but some are not and they are still just fine. And it's okay to learn at 6, 7, 8, and 9. Some are just not ready at 5 and some have a very hard time learning--and then there are those we love to hear about that read super early. None of mine did that and none of my 5yos were ready at that age. They are all reading now though! Just keep the perspective that she will be ready when she is ready. You can't force it. :D
