I'd be dancing even if was for only for 3 hours. I hope your feet make it through with no pain! Good luck.Thanks, Figgy!
I haven't really hyped this one, 'cause we're only gonna' be there for 3 days of a whirlwind trip for the Princess 5K (I hope my feets will be OK, after my recent fun
). But, yes, any Disney trip is cause for celebration...!!!
Oh, I completely plan on making an ADR, not just walking in. But we are only in the resort for 10 days, and I can only make my ADRs for those 10 days. I have to wait another week or so before I can make ADRs for the time after we check out of the resort.
THNX he has plans next weekend and I'm not making him go to his grandparents we'll just reschedule that dinner.Yep, if the teen years only bring a few faces and a little complaining, then you'll be as fortunate as we were. It wasn't perfect, but, never any major teen angst/drama, and definitely no drug or alcohol issues. Considering my not-so-pristine past, believe me, I'd know for sure...
Hang in there, it sounds like y'all are raising them properly...!
welcome aboard
Sounds great! Do you have any ADRs?
I'd give it one more go sans the "turkey leg". It is one of the best done rides. Good lucki can never stomach the tower, been on it once, was physically sick
saying that i did eat turkey leg before hand
My curfew in high school was "Dark". Unless I was with my brother. I remember one year in the summer, I must have been about 16 and my friend called and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. My brother had just walked out the door to go to his best friend's house...it was about 7:00pm. So I said sure, and I went to put my coat on and my mom asked where I thought I was going, and I said for a walk and she said no I most certainly wasn't, it was going to be dark in an hour or so and I wasn't leaving the house. I asked why my brother was allowed to go, but I wasn't and she said it was because I was a girl. Boys can't get pregnant, so she didn't have to worry about him going out after dark. I plan on doing things VERY differently with my kids. I saw college the same way you did...I finally got to have a LIFE. I remember in high school, after my sophomore year, I got accepted to an academic summer program at the university of Wyoming. I got there and they told us we had to be back to the dorm by 9:00 pm...everyone groaned, but I was EXCITED. I'd never been allowed to stay out that late before. It was so much more freedom than I was used to, and that made it really easy to follow the rules there! When I got to college, the first night I was there, I stayed out until after midnight, just because I could and no one could tell me I couldn't.
I lived with my mom after I graduated from college, but that was more because my mom needed someone to take care of her. I got a job teaching music at an elementary school in the next town over...40 miles away, but it meant I could live with my mom, help pay rent since she was unable to work, take her to her chemo appointments and radiation treatments, cook for her, arrange meals while I was gone during the day, etc. But it did save me money as well.
Ok that last one is very strange. My husband said when he went to one cousin's house, they had to eat their snacks standing at the kitchen counter in case they dropped crumbs or something...the cousin's mom was kind of OCD and wanted everything to stay clean so they weren't allowed to eat anywhere but the counter, so she could just wipe it down when they were done.Some of the parent's weirds 22 rules for their kids are so funny
I have a no food in their rooms rule but i keep finding dishes and crumbs in them
My husband and I do that, but we have a deal not to say anything in front of the kids. The kids have to believe that we agree on everything or they will USE it and play us against each other. So if one of us is being ridiculous, depending on the situation, the other will jump in and say "I'll handle this, go cool down" or wait until the kids are in bed and say "hey, don't do that, because...." Like, DS HATES being tickled...I think he has some sensory issues because he doesn't like loud noises and he always wants to take socks and pants and stuff off because they itch. So tickling is very uncomfortable for him and I don't tickle him. But hubby started tickling him the other day and wouldn't stop until he said "Mercy" but he didn't understand he was supposed to say it, so hubby just kept going and DS is saying "stop!" (he was laughing, so I wasn't TOO worried) so I told him to say Mercy, but there's this whole series here that you say..first it's "Mercy, Father" and then "A pot of ink" and then " <child's name> stinks"...anyway, he kept going until DS said the things, but he got so frustrated he finally just started crying and hubby got mad at him and told him if he didn't stop crying he would have to go to his room. In hubby's mind, he was just playing a game and DS got mad for no reason because all he had to do to make him stop was repeat the phrases. So later, I explained to hubby that that wasn't fair. He KNOWS DS hates to be tickled, then you tell him you'll stop if he says a certain phrase, so he does, but you don't stop, and then tell him he has to say something ELSE to make it stop....which he does, and then you STILL don't stop, you want him to say something else. He doesn't know how long it's going to go on, and you've basically now lied to him 3 times, telling him you'll stop if he repeats it, and then you don't. There's a certain point at which that's being a bully...he's not having fun anymore and you are torturing him for your own amusement because it's funny to YOU. So hubby went and talked to DS later and apologized for it. But if I'd said something in front of the kids, it makes daddy look bad, whereas if he goes back later and apologizes, it makes them respect that he can admit when he's wrong. It sets a good example.
? Buffalo wings are chicken...they were originally created in Buffalo, NY, hence the name. But Buffalo is actually really good, too....it tastes pretty much the same as cow, but it's leaner meat and thus a bit dryer.
My friend had to make her bed and have room inspection every day and once her mom had inspected everything, she wasn't allowed to sit on her bed for the rest of the day until bedtime, so the bedding wouldn't get rumpled.
Wait what? Gilmore Girls??? Why have I not heard this? It was my favorite show! Are they restarting the series? Or is it a movie? Or what is it?
That sounds so fun!! We can't do that here as you get a hefty fine if the kids aren't in school when they aren't sick. But we have a tradition for report card day....that's dessert day. They get to eat dessert for dinner, as much as they want of it. They look forward to that, and I hope it's something they will remember when they get older.
Hi and welcome!! You've come to the right place for a nice gentle (or maybe not) re-entry into the forum world.
Sympathy like. Good luck!!
No food in the rooms seems a perfectly reasonable rule, but the cousins weren't even allowed to sit at the kitchen table or anything. They had to eat OVER the kitchen counter, with a paper towel under their faces so they wouldn't spill and then when they were done, she'd wipe down the counter. That seems a bit excessive to me. But then, I'm not a clean freak.I have a no food in their rooms rule but i keep finding dishes and crumbs in them
