    Tear Gas / Pepper Spray for Self-Defense?

    I wouldn't let my child carry one to school. I know my wife has one on her key chain, but she works in a bad city so I feel she needs it. I agree with Seven that kids need to learn to talk through situations, but in life it isn't that easy when someone is trying to take your car or purse...

    Home Visit?

    This is a public elementary school. He is in a preschool program that is for 'high risk' children. Because his mom didn't graduate from highschool and we are divorced he qualified for this program (he is 4). We thought it was best to get him in school, but we make to much for him to go to...

    Foc

    Wow what did you say to her to anger her? My case worker is not much better. She usually gets back to me within a couple days and then tells me she can't help me I have to call someone else. I deal with them vary rarely though, so it doesn't bother me as much.

    Moles

    When should you get a Mole checked out? I have one that keeps disappearing and then coming back over the last year or so. I never knew they could just come off and then come back.

    Costumes

    I usually just take the kids to the store a couple weeks before Halloween to pick their own costumes. I like the Ebay and after Halloween sale ideas! I will use them this year! I never thought of that.

    How was the decision made?

    I envy all that are stay at home parents. My brother and his wife both work from home. They are really busy with work and travel, but they also get to be a family at home more often.

    Movie of the week!

    Yes my children have done this also! Don't even get me started on Monster's INC, CARS, and Madagascar! They love those movies and will watch them twice in a row if I would have let them!

    Love being a dad

    Some men just lack the emotional attachment that kids bring. My wife's ex is this way. He could care less to spend quality time with their child, just takes him to 'hurt' my wife. He uses the children to show off for girls. I love being a dad and a role model to his son, becuase he needs one!

    Teenage Screams

    Start taking away privileges like going to friends houses, talking on the phone, TV, playing games if she does (ie. computer, game systems, dS). This has worked in the past in my family.

    Home Visit?

    I have never heard of a teacher coming to your home before. My son just started school and the teacher is already asking to come into my home for a 'home visit'. Why on earth would a teacher need to come to your home?

    Expressing herself

    Usually I can tell by the tone in her voice. If she is voicing her opinion it is usually in a debate type of situation. If she is copping an attitude she get tilts her head a little and usually stomps off.

    Opting out of the holidays.

    I have also had a couple years where I wanted (and did) opt out of the holidays! But that was before the kids. I love this time of year now (other than the money part) and I agree the smile on the children s faces really bring joy and let me know it is worth it all!

    He's In!

    My son started school this week! The wait list wasn't really long and I am glad he got in. I have to drive him 20 minutes from my house but, it is worth it. He is doing well and the teacher seems good. He loves it, so I am glad!

    Got a raise

    Our company just released the raise freeze we have had for 3 years. Business is looking up and we are working overtime a lot of weekends now. So hopefully with my annual review I will be getting a raise this year!

    Sad

    I am sorry for you this is vary sad. No young women should have to go through this awful thing. I know a couple people that have had Melanoma and beat it. They have had removals of moles. My grandfather has had Melanoma skin cancer for 20 years.

    Cutting the cord

    Cutting the cord was the most emotional part of my son being born. I loved it and would recommend it to any father. The second was finding out with the wife that our child was a boy as we did not find out ahead of time!

    Meat Market?

    I never realized that you could go to a meat market and buy your meat products. I had a friend tell me about it and I went in. It was the best experience I have ever had buying meat! I would really recommend if you can find one to go their. The meat is fresher, nicer cut, less fat, and...

    Not Having A Good Day Today

    I understand where your coming from, as I too have had an awful year. As my father always told me "only worry about the things you can change, then make a plan to change them". This has helped me greatly this year. I hope all gets better with you and your future is much brighter.

    Halloween

    My son is going to be Sully from Monster's Inc. He is so excited and has watched this movie almost every day since I bought it for him 6 months ago. It should be a fun time.

    The grandparents are too easy...

    Grandparents are just that grand! They don't have to enforce to rules, we as parents do. They did that already with you. Like Tyler said "Let them spoil the children what is it really going to hurt?"
