Do you really think he was making fun? Really? I find it hard to believe that the average person has not said something they didn't mean for the lack of the right word at the right time. Relax..... I truly don't think he meant anything by it.
I have 4 sisters 33, 35 , 37 and 43 and a brother who is 44 ... I am 43. You family is double mine... wow... holidays must be awesome... I love my big family.
We all slip up sometimes.... unfortunately when your in the public light, every word is scrutenized.... we all say things that didn't come out just as we would have hoped... no biggie if you ask me.
I have the same problem, so what I try to do is at least go out on 2 or 3 dates and then trust my gut.... even if the person is perfect, if there is no attraction after 3 dates, there probably isn't going to be any. If there is attraction and the guy isn't perfect... if it's still there after 3 dates, I give it a go....
I see posts about get togethers and wonder if Mass has ever done one? And... why don't we do more posting on our local forums? It seems there are few and far between.
Anyway... Robin from Chicopee... anyone in my area?
I did see it, he did awesome, I would say that about half of them did a fantastic job for the first night out.
It's going to be a good season. I don't care for their pick... they have to sing Michael Jackson songs????? What a tough act to follow and I like it when they have an artist who helps them with their songs....
Just be there for him.... you can't force an explanation and chances are there were some clues to this coming. Your son probably has a hint of why she left.... but may not be ok with sharing it .... Hope all turns out for the best...
I am going to take a different approach than some other posts. Could it be that they are just trying to start a conversation?
When you see someone in the hall,, what do most people say, Hi, how are you??? Does that person really care how you are??? Probably not, but they don't know what else to say.... could be the same thing.
You can just say everything is great.... they will be happy, you don't have to divulge and the conversation moves on.
Is it really that big of a deal?
Is there more to this story? Do you have alot going on that family might be concerned with, could it be that they care?
Don't sweat the small stuff... lots of people don't have one person who would care if they weren't around tomorrow... sounds like you've got one or two.... not such a bad deal if you ask me.
It just stopped here in Massachusetts.... and I just finished shoveling. We ended up with about a foot.... no loss of power but the roads are messy. It's not all bad though, I took the day off to avoid the traffic. I never do that .... just couldn't bring myself to go out there at 6 am.
Sounds like you've answered your own question. If you've grown cold, then why would you put yourself or your children through that again?
Kids want their parents to stay together because it's safe for them, but they don't want their parents unhappy. Kids need to see you in a healthy relationship that makes you happy.
My answer is no, I would not go back, unless I still had feelings for him and wanted it to work out.
The school has been very supportive of her and me. I think they put up with too much from her but they do try to help her succeed. No complaints here.. not that it was always that way but no complaints.
I can honestly say that I have given her many alternatives. We have been to doctor after doctor, therapists, support groups, after school programs, in home aid to help her to find a job, succeed at home and school.... many many things....
I think in order for her to change, she needs to fully understand what she is doing wrong, then accept it and accept the help offered to her to succeed...
That must be very difficult, it is good that you have help now and again.
I am able to work and do things but usually not without something happening which causes a hysterical phone call or something all the time...
I am grateful for the break and feel better that she has told me she is safe. I still don't know where she is or who she is with but she did call so I need to trust in that and give everyone their space.
Well, it's good to hear that others are dealing with similar issues, makes it a little more bareable.... if I could just get her to take some responsibility for her actions, she might have a chance to change and move forward... that seems to be our biggest obstacle.
I do my best to do that .... some days she's fine but most... are a nightmare. She left the house last night, said i got what I wanted and she's never coming back.... that we are allridiculous.... so it's a little raw today.but she did call to tell me she was safe and just needed to stay away for a little while.
I sometimes don't know which way to turn.... at least for tonite.. my house is quiet and nobody is yelling .... sounds selfish.. but sometimes you just need that.
One of the local liquor stores was missing some letters from their sign and my 10 year old son (at the time)said .. .mom... look PP liquors..... it was supposed to be CAPPYS LIQUORS.... say it fast... it's kinda funny....
My family means the most to me of anything else. I come from a large family and we are very close, would give up anything I needed to in order to be around them.
I don't have an autistic child but my oldest daughter has severe ADHD and is likely bipolar. She is beautiful, smart, funny and loves kids and animals. It's the rest of the world she can't seem to get along with. It breaks my heart every day, and has been tough on her siblings, she has always required a great amount of attention and care.
She is 18 now but has the maturity of a 14 year old, however claims she is an adult.
It is a tough road and I hope every day I have more to give her than the day before, because some days.... there just isn't a whole lot left to give....
Love her to death.... but she is very difficult to live with ....
It is the alternative to the daily pill. They go in and get a shot once every 3 months vs taking the pill (and forgetting). I keep a close eye on those dates, don't want a coulda woulda shoulda moment.
I have 2 teenage daughters and both take the depo shot. It is important to be responsible. We talked about it and decided that they were better to be prepared than not.
I think you did the right thing.... we can't be naive and think that my daughter or son will always make the right decision....
