Moxie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm very sorry to anyone I offended. In hindsight, I can think of about 1000 better ways to say what I wanted to say. Lesson learned, step away from the keyboard when I'm feeling all the feels. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberia Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 No worries. I enjoyed the thread, especially the Alien, Dinosaur, and Watermelon parts. I think we all grow from hashing out our ideas/differences, when done with grace and humor. Have an awesome day everyone, no matter how or when you were created or evolved! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 You should be apologizing. I've been craving juicy summer watermelon and it's only March. Hmph. :glare: :laugh: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm a YEC but completely understand the big grouchy Mama Bear that comes out of even the timidest of mothers when we perceive someone messing with our younguns. Don't worry about it. Get a Shamrock Shake and have a good weekend. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It was very kind of you to start this thread, Moxie, although I'm sure everyone realized that you were just venting. :grouphug: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Moxie, it takes a lot to apologize publicly. I didn't get to comment in the other thread for lack of time, but I thought, if nothing else, your son handled things very maturely. I am sorry your family has had a hard time finding people who are a good fit. We are not Catholic but do understand a lot of what you were saying. I wish you lived closer to us because I think we'd get along quite well, and the belief issues would be small things where we'd agree to disagree and leave it at that, and our kids could hang out together. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I totally understood your frustration and need to vent. I also think it shows maturity to step back and say you misspoke. I also wish to thank you for the opportunity to rehash the happy herbivore T-Rex and remind everyone that Ole Ham-hock is, at best, a few melons short of a patch or, if we ascribe more sinister motives, a few tractor beams shy of an alien invasion. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmingMomma Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 That picture of the T-Rex and watermelon made me shoot coffee out my nose last night! Luckily I missed the keyboard. Anyway, I've put my foot in my mouth many times (not on this board so far, but I'm a newbie). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikin' Mama Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I read part of the thread, but didn't comment, and I just want to say that your son handled himself very well in that situation. Good job, Mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 No worries! You were disappointed for your son, that's all. Hugs to you as you figure out what is best for you and your kiddos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am sorry I was so unsympathetic to your plight and overly focused on how you chose to express yourself. But we REALLY loved T-Rex Trying and that has improved my life so something good came out of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I never really thought you needed to apologize, but I understand it. We all have our times/issues when we might be a little less of a mom than the parenting magazines feel we should be. It's helpful that we all have them, otherwise there'd be way too much criticism from those who don't. When it's a throw the first stone deal, many of us just look into our memories! Now, my main beef is you started the thread when I didn't have a whole lot of time to be sticking with it because my college boys are home on spring break. I had to spend oodles of time when I was on catching up, and by then, many comments I could have made were pointless. Next time you want to start a pages long thread, can you send me a pm checking with my schedule first? :smilielol5: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
