I guess I better clarify this. If the bread was moldy her mom wouldn't have put it on the table. The bread or buns she used to complain, she put on her own plate. The bread was just out a day too long to be fresh. And I did eat it, it just soaks up the sauce better. Since I survived private boarding school cooking, long distance canoe trip food, and my own cooking, I tend to appreciate and enjoy everyone elses cooking. And the meal prepared that night was good.
I noticed that it is only women who are replying to this tread. Is it because men didn't notice this. Is it because the men who did take notice of this are still happily married?
Because I never married I can only make observations of others.
My sister (the 3rd child) was one, who didn't take no for an answer very easlily. When my parents said no the rest of my siblings would accept the their answer more readily. She was more strong willed and tended to do thing her way, and not listen to advice. Well guess you got married and devorsed twice. Now she is having the same problems with her 3rd child (a daugther).
The other story is: A few years ago I went to another cattle ranch to looks at bulls, as I needed a new herd bull. They had a daughter that I was interested in and she is a hard worker. I was invited in for the evening meal. Yes the bread was a bit stale. The daughter, in her late 20's or early 30's,sat down and made complaining motions about the bread (much like a child). Well I noticed this, and I got to say my interest in her got turned off real quick. (She wasn't interested in me anyway).
Now a question comes to mind. How are your relationships with your kids going? We are setting up their future relationships with their partners in life. Are you teaching them how live on their own at some point.
Born and raised on a farm, and still living on a farm and loving it. I like the fact that if I want to horse back ride, just catch horse, saddle up and ride. Quading, snowmobiling, hiking, all available just outside my house. Cities as others have said look better in the rear view mirror. And I don't have to lock my door to the house. And I can leave the keys in the ignition of my trucks.
Back when my sisters and I were teenagers. At the kitchen table during a mealtime discussion. My parents gave this titbit of advice. "Observe how your potential mate treats their parents. Especially how a daugther treats her father, and how a son treats his mom. Because that will indicate how they will treat you.
Now many here have had long term relationships. How your partner treated his/her parents, did they end up treating you the same way? Did observe this with your brothers and sisters? close friends? your kids?
I would like to thank those who have replied to this thread.
Now another question comes to mind. Does the relationships that parents develope with their kids, effect the the relationship they will have with their life partners?
It would be nice if widows and widowers would reply to this thread. It would also be nice if a few men who had relationship would also reply.
Way back when my sisters and I were teenagers. Around the kitchen table at a mealtime discussion. Our parents gave this tibbit of advice. " Observe how your date treats their parents. Especially how a daughter treats her father, and how a son treats his mom. Because that will indicate how they will treat you.
Now many here have had long term relationships. Did your partner end up treating you like they treated their parents? Is this something that you noticed with your brothers and sisters? Close friends? Maybe your own kids?
I will probably be logged off when and if many reply, but I will read with interest in 24 hours.
The leather craft for some reason, tends to be a once a year project for a christmas present. This year another sister, whose name I got to give a christmas present for, wants me to make a holster for camera lens. Her hobby is photograghy.
Hi Kim. Looked at your art in your profile. Nice pictures. Could you explain? Are they water colours, Oil painting, etc.? (A little more dedails please.
The women here are not the only ones who get weird mail. I get a lots of them too. Do you notice that the weird mail always comes from some distance away? Never close by? I wonder if it is the same few people, setting up fake profiles. Looking for innocent victims for their scams.
Photo helps. Living local for me to initate the writing. Reading profile. The more detail the better it tells me that there is a real person there. And if there are certain criteria that meets what I'm looking for in my own profile. (for example I have put that a single mom with kids is overwelming for me, I won't write single moms with kids.)
I will respond to Canadians and US. if I think the profile is real, and the letter seems genuine. I will not respond to letters from 3rd world countries (I seem to get a lot from China), or if the profile is shallow, or like the women here, I get the feeling that they haven,t read my profile.
Moose are bad news at night. They are almost black. they are about the same height are a racehorse. With their long legs they end up going through the cab.
One tip that I was taught. If you spot wildlife on the road at night, dim your lights. That way the animals are less blinded and have a chance to get out of your way.

How someone treated their parents. Is that how they ended up treating you?
