Fred ,'A Hole in the World'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Echoing Cash on everything. Including the Beverly is nicer than me.
I don't know-- my default if I'm talking to someone who doesn't have kids, is to first find out how they feel about having the kids around rather than assume they're wanted everywhere.
Um, why should the kids be more important? In life, sure, but for that one hour block?
I need to whine. I seem to have pinched a nerve or something like that in my upper back and it's driving me nuts. I'm stuck sitting in a theatre all day and I just can find a position that isn't causing me pain. It was also miserable driving down here since it hurts to turn my head to the left or right and you kind of have to do that to change lanes.
Feel better, ND.
Why did I think cooking today at Mom's would be a good idea? Now I don't want to come back tomorrow.
Oh, ND, I am so sorry. Go away pinched nerve!
Um, why should the kids be more important? In life, sure, but for that one hour block?
I'm with brenda on this one.
feel better~ma, ND.
Have you taken anything? I suffer from something similar sometimes and it doesn't make the pain go away but a couple aspirin makes it bearable.
Um, why should the kids be more important? In life, sure, but for that one hour block?
I mean in the sense that I shouldn't expect them not to pay attention to the kid, i.e. if the kid is about to knock over a vase in the middle of my story, I shouldn't expect the parent to not intervene with the kid.
Ease to you, ND.
I am not nicer. Y'all take that back. I told you it was the guilt talking.
Well, more important in a "if you don't pay attention to them, they may wreak havoc, or choke to death or something" kind of way, depending on how old they are (they sound young). You can't really resent that. Not more important in a "they HAVE to come!" way.
Agreed with everyone else, Vortex...
Vortex, as it sounds like she's trying to work seeing you in with an existing, pre-scheduled outing with husband and kids, I'd suggest the Bev Plan.
(As a parent with just the one car, it's frustrating for me, because I'd love to see people without husband and kid, but that rarely works out for us in terms of transportation and schedule. So I expect she'd prefer to just see you, and get quality hanging out time, but may be thwarted by the realities of her transportation needs for the day.)
