They also stress the importance of breakfast and suggest that if your child isn't hunger than you should get him up 1 hour early and have him do chores.
Bwahahahahaha!
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
IME, this pretty much lasts until college.
I think it was Dennis Leary who said that our kids, the ones we cried and bled for (in my case, this is TRUE), the ones we paced the floor with at 3 a.m. as infants and killed ourselves to give them everything we possibly could, would end up snotty teenagers, smoking in the back of some kid's car saying, "My parents are such ASSHOLES!"
That's a sobering thought.
Yeah yeah, I'm shakin' in my Pull-ups.
BWAH!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
And all those people who put good money on "fuck" being her first word lose good money. I hope you're happy with yourself.
Like I didn't lose $50 on that.

We have to watch everything we say now -- she's a regular little parrot. I just caught her saying "Oh, man!" with inflection and everything.
Hee.
My brother went through a stage of saying "fudder" to virtually everyone he encountered. Fortunately only my mom knew what he was actually saying, and then her challenge was to keep a straight face while people cooed at the "made-up" word.

Ok. I appear to not be able to stop coughing. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. I've worked too hard for this!

Thrive to spite them
AmyLiz -- this is the same book that strongly suggests homemakers do their marketing every day to ensure the produce is the freshest and doesn't lose any precious nutrients. There are sample menus for each month so you can get an idea of what is in season. I'm not sure if in the 40s men came home from work for luncheon, because the menu for lunch is fairly substanial and has foods that you aren't supposed to be feeding children.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My grandfather did until the day he retired. I doubt that everyone of his generation did, but he was 5 minutes from home and the store closed at lunchtime.

I've made some tea, and am sucking on a Vitamin C. I've also taken my asthma medication. It's probably stress, even thought I've been working VERY hard this morning to de-stress.
I guess I'd like my ~ma redirected from get-a-D-on-the-exam~ma to make-it-through-the-exam~ma.
I've gotta run! See you all on the other side.

move out and draw fire
Because she watches the kids while I'm at work. Thus, unless I'm doing something for in-laws or the church she doesn't watch the kids. She gets pissed off watching the kids while I do stuff like mow the yard or change the oil in the cars.
Solution: Send the kids to Greece for a bit. Mallory needs kids around, they could go craxy here with exploring and stuff, and you could see a movie.
I am a failure as a disciplinarian. Mallory heads for the computer cables, and I say, "No Mallory!" sternly, and he looks up at me with that half-grin and those chubby cheeks, and I go all melty and have to hug him. So that works really well as positive reinforcement.
ION, someone broke my taillight when I went to mail Christmas packages today. This poor car. It's a mess from the back doors back, and exactly one ding is my fault.
