Yep, too many parents think their kids are perfect and it must be someone else's fault. They think your kid is asking for it. I can't believe she left a little baby home napping alone. I would carry the baby monitor with me outside if I was even in the garden.

Yea, the napping baby left at home (apparently, by itself?) really caught my attention, too...WTH...?!?!?! :cyclops:

You'll miss your dad, too. Sounds to me like he's a very good man--maybe a little overprotective at this point--but a decent, caring father. You see, my father passed away many years ago. He wasn't perfect either, but I'll tell you--I'd give anything for him to be alive--even for just a little while again, so I could say, "Hi Dad" and see him smile. But that's not possible anymore.

He is. But my mom and I are just super close. You know when I was in California we texted every single day, and I called her at least every other day? And when she's away, she texts me several times a day and calls at least every other day. Then I'll usually come home from work and spend a good hour talking to her. I've had nightmares about losing my mom and have woken up sobbing. I love both of them, but...my mom is also one of my best friends.

My dad and I just have a challenging relationship. I think because my mom was estranged from her parents from age 19 on and never made amends with her mother and only recently made amends with her father, she was determined to do differently by me. And she has. My dad and I have actually gotten better within the past year or so, believe it or not; the whole car thing has just not brought out his best side.

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a parent.

Kids also should be taught not to be afraid to tell an adult if they are being bullied, and adults need to take it more seriously than they do.

I've posted this before...
At one point in HS, youngest DD was being bullied by a small group of other students.
We had no clue, until one night she came to us and said she couldn't take it anymore. We asked her why she didn't come to us sooner, and she answered that she thought she could handle it on her own (she's always been very independent that way).
She showed us a text she had just gotten from a boy at school. I won't go into details, but, I was on-fire ed off, to say the least.
I asked her for her phone and texted the little d-bag back. It went something like this...

"This is Sarah's father. I know who you are and I know where you live (and I did). If anything like this, on her phone, at school, etc., ever happens again I will take action. I will go to the school, the police, your parents...or whatever else it might take...use your imagination...
Pass this on to your little buddies as well.
If I don't know who they all are, I can find out.
And, if you think this is just Sarah pretending she's me, just give it another shot, sport."

Not the way many would have handled it, but, it worked.
She never had another problem with those pigs from that day forward.

I LOVE it! Looks like it would be fun to drive.

It's so fun to drive. Especially through windey back roads. It has a sunroof too. I missed that so much with the SUV. Little things are also nicer. Like the cupholders. I hated the cupholders in my old car. And the center console cover used to pop up at random. Not anymore. :D It's so nice. And it'll be paid off in three years.

This was the honey cheesecake and ice cream from The Honey Bistro. Sooo good. I only took a taste. Littlest dd gobbled it up. The honey on top had a sparkle to it. It was pretty and yummy. :):hungry:

I can never get enough of Spaceship Earth...!!!!!!! :joyfull:
Probably my favorite, and still love it, although I preferred the Cronkite and Iron's versions. :cautious: ;)
PotC and HM run a close second. I first rode them at Disneyland shortly after they opened in '67 and '69, respectively, in '68 and '70...!!!!! :happy:

And, that dessert...!!!!! :hungry: :)

I don't think you'd want to leave her alone in the house, because it might turn into a scene out of Toddlers Gone Wild. :jawdrop: Once she wakes up on her own, (and finds no one is around), she might head directly for the liquor cabinet and chug down a few shots of tequila, before you return back with the dog! :joyfull:

Any other questions about parenting? Ask my advice anytime. :p (Disclaimer: I have no kids. :hilarious: )

3 days was so NOT enough. At least a year in jail and public service for at least 5. What is with these people?

I'm so far behind, but, I just had to finally backtrack ...
Just...........sick.
How does anyone's mind even come up with this, and, then somehow think it's OK to go forward with it...?!?!?!?!?!
Banned from Disney...he needs to be banned from air to breathe... :cautious:

Yes, 3 long years. Here is the latest crazy: I reported 2 of Mr. Donkey's negative Yelp reviews as violating the content guidelines and they emailed me today that they removed them. One of them is of our daughter's previous therapist, who did everything she could to help, but couldn't deal with him and his frequent accusations and blaming. So what does he do? He writes another review today! This time he lists reasons for why he doesn't recommend her that are basically lies or his skewed perspective of what actually transpired. I reported this one as well and asked if his account can be suspended. If you want to read it, here's the link: https://www.yelp.com/biz/one-heart-counseling-center-manhattan-beach (he is Chris R.)
