On the application online, you have to create a profile and then search for open jobs. They don’t have any open jobs for pushing carts. BUT in the open positions, it had "utility worker/bagger/customer service." and the job description said somedays I might be in front of the store and somedays I might be removing carts from the parking lot and making sure the frontways are clean, but what the hell… I always see people there pushing in carts. It says that I might also work at the customer service desk. Does this mean that somedays I would be assigned to push carts and somedays work in different parts? That doesnt make sense. I really want to be pushing carts! Maybe as a full time job.

I’m 16 almost 17 and I Dropped out of school, but this fall i’m going to go to adult ed and study to get my GED.
But then winter is coming up… would this be "too cold" to be pushing carts a full 8 hours everyday? Maybe thats why they want people working at different parts or something. But yeah, I applied for it because I thought maybe it was for pushing carts.
BTW, they don’t have paper applications. Even at the stores you have to apply on a computer. The store is called Meijer. The samething on the computer, is the samething I go to on my home computer, the page to apply.
It didnt exactly say "I would be in different parts of the stores on somedays" but it said "it involves being in different parts of the store, sometimes i nthe front greeeting customers, sometimes removing carts from the parking lot, or working at customer service."

My husband and I are pretty much newly weds, 1 yr anniversary in 2 days!!! woohooo! but besides that, we are throwing our first ever halloween party this year together at our home, an all adult party, no babies or kids will be attending. Of course i’m in charge of the goodies and treats, but I’VE NEVER THROWN A REAL PARTY!!! HELP! what do I buy as drink and finger foods, I’ve thought of a few things,and have some new and interesting drinks to mix up, but does anyone have any awesome ideas of what I should stock my cart with??? What kinds of things would you like to have at a halloween party you attend???

Thanks for the help! and anyother ideas you come up with, go ahead and let me know.
p.s. Also, tight budget, not a whole lot to work with, but enough, so keep it cheap! lol

Ok…so after 12 years of being together, my wife says to me after our last romp that we really need to change our pattern. We used to do it in cars, on the counter, on the stairs, etc.. Now it has become the same rerun over and over….I go down, she goes down, her on top, and lastly the standard position to finish. She actually told me that she can almost time each procedure right down to the last second.
She insists that I become more spontaneous and provide some sort of "shock value" to spice it up.

I recently went to the adult gallery to pick up some interesting new toys. I drove 30 minutes away to the city so that no one would see me in the one in my home town ( the PTA lady saw me there last year renting a movie—– its in the SUBWAY plaza and she was picking up lunch )

So, I have an assortment of little toys to display. But, thinking that would not be really enough to add real excitment to the event, I have entertained the following options:
A- I purchased a small golf cart battery with cables at Walmart that I will attach to her nips after I tie her up and blindfold her, or
B- found on Craigslist, a Asian dwarf escort (female) —I’ll hide her in the closet until the right time, then have her jump out and yell something Ninja like…

A or B?
lol @ Skwerl
Hi Maggs — nice to see you again!! and no, I have not learned anything.
Scoundy– she has been gone since Thanksgiving……you did not leave her tied up in the basement again did you?
Boum- I cannot believe someone gave you a TD… anyway, you do bring up a good point about cardiac arrest…I’m thinking of keeping the battery ready to go in case the little ninja is too much for her to take…this way I can jump start her back to life

I’m a young adult, and just found out that you can get diabetes type 1 at my age, 16, well to start it all off, I AM a hypochodriac and worry about many diseases but I’m pretty sure of this one. First of all I was a the store yesterday and I got very confused and was kind of waltzing around trying to get my stuff and return to my mom’s cart and half the time I couldn’t even remember what I had just said, I’m pretty sure this is all hypoglycemia then I came home and told my parents I was feeling REALLY funny and told them what had happened and they just told me to relax so I had a glass of juice and tryed to calm down. Today it’s easter and I had a big breakfast and dinner a few hours after and ended up being really really thirsty after I ate a lot, I had beans, a roll and falafel which are chickpea patties, and more water. I didn’t have increased urination which I know is one of the symptoms… but I did have increased thrist after I ate all of that and after I had desert I felt funny as well. And right now my vision is kind of blurred not to the point that I can’t see but to the point where long distant things are a bit blurry. How blurry is the diabetic symtoms supposed to be? I’m so scared I have type one diabetes! I am going to have a doctors appointment either tomorrow, or tonight if I get to scared and it gets worse I may go to urgent care. My dad says that your ankles would be swollen if you seriously had diabetes, and mine aren’t at all but that isn’t on any of the symptom sites. Anyway, please tell me if these sound like serious symtoms of type 1. I’m so scared that I might have it, I just need some reassurence that everythings going to b e okay. Please!! :[[
Also my arm has been tingly on and off for the past few days, this worries me even more because I know its a symtomp as well!

Okay, so I already bought this dress:

http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10251&catalogId=10201&productId=630260&langId=-1&categoryId=12600&parentCategoryId=12552&colorSequence=04

I have just yet to buy my shoes ^-^
I wasn’t too sure what shoes would go well, but I want something that looks good but not too dressy and since I’m pretty tall I didn’t want to add on any height.
So I thought about getting those strappy gladiator[sorta] looking shoes. I found two:
1. http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4131501&clickid=cart [blue one]
2. http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?productId=67033&catId=cat10088&lotId=077142&subCatId=cat10285&selectedSegment=Adult [silver one]

Thank you~ ;3
Oh…btw!! This is all for my eighth grade graduation/formal coming up in June. (;

Okay, my sister went off and married this guy (after becoming pregnant) that she met at Dillons like, 5 years ago. She was 17ish. Her whole life, she messed up. She chose to. Her parents (my mom) were divorced. Everytime she didn’t get her way, she’d be like "Okay, I’m gonna go to Dad’s then!" so she’d get her way. Through her childhood AND teenage years. Now as an "adult" she has left him with me and my mom. HE IS TERRIBLE. He is rediculously smart. He knows how to do something and get away with it, just like his mom. Like, he can fake trip. Or fake laugh. Or barge into conversations. Or lie. Or act like he knows everything. He is adorable, I’ll admit, but his personality, my GOD. And hes like, 4. He will scream just so people think I hurt him. he makes me want to HURT HIM. I can’t even describe the way he acts. Normally, I love kids. I think they are soo sweet and angelic. But he isn’t. If hate wasn’t so frowned upon, I would hate him.

My mom? She is BLIND to this. My family that has seen this side of him, think he is awful. My mom is really close with her sister, and I talked to her, and she thinks my nephew is going to be a really good criminal. She wasn’t joking. They would agree to every word of this. My mom sees him as a perfect child. I don’t even know what to do anymore. Today, I went grocery shopping with him, my Mom and my friend. He would take random things, plop them in the cart, and my mom wouldn’t care. Sometimes she’d be like " no, put it back." but he’d be like "NOOOOO I WANT IT!!" and she’d be like *sigh* okay…
I hate it sooooo much.. even my friend thought it was rediculous. He gets everything he wants. Anything. I try telling my mom about my feelings, and she thinks I’m talking back. I can’t even talk to her without getting in trouble. My dad screams at me about everything.. so I can’t talk to him. One time when I did, he told me "I know, but we just have to ignore it."

I.Am.Done.Ignoring.This.
I need some serious advice..

p.s. My mom wants family counceling. THATS FUNNY, maybe if she wouldn’t be doing this, we wouldn’t have a problem. I feel like she loves him more than me. I’m told that isn’t possible, but my Lord, she acts like it….

Okay, I have been through hell over the last year and a half. First, my Uncle died in February 2009. Then my Gran died in May in the same year. I was bullied for three years in Primary School, and one year in High School. I have been in love with my teacher for three years, which I stupidly went and told my guidance teacher about it as I thought it was confidential (she never told me it wasn’t until she told me that she was phoning my parents and telling the teacher I am in love with, about everything). She completely overreacted and now about five other members of staff know about it now. My life has just been one huge humiliation and I have planned my nearby suicide, which has come from self harming, which I can’t even do that any more because my mum and dad confiscated my needles as my guidance teacher also phoned them about that, so now, instead of cutting, I only eat one meal a day. This progressed and I have a four page suicide letter ready, which my parents also know about because guess what? My guidance teacher told them! I am currently speaking to a counsellor once a week and I sometimes speak to the nurse as I am trying to get help. But to be quite honest I am sick of trying to get help and I feel like my life has been one huge roller coaster on which wont stop unless I jump out the cart. I always am crying at nights until I fall asleep, and I just feel like I have no one to talk to because as far as I am concerned, I do not have a guidance teacher. She has ruined my life. I don’t go a day without walking past a set of stairs or a car and thinking about how I could use them to kill myself. I just want everything to be over. One of my friends found my suicide note and went and spread it around the school saying I was being pathetic, stupid and immature when she really doesn’t know how I am feeling. And on top of all that, the teacher that I am in love with has been told to ignore me, and pay no attention to me, when it was him in the first place that said if there was anything I wanted to speak to him about, I could just go and find him. Now he wont even look at me and you just don’t understand how hard that is unless you have been through it. I just want for him to be happy, and I have ruined everything! I should never have opened my trap! Whoever says that speaking to an adult is a good thing, is talking rubbish! I just need some advice, and was wondering if it sounds like I am depressed, as my counsellor says that I am showing strong signs, but I am not sure. And if you are wondering, it is more than just a crush. He is the most wonderful person I have ever met and I would gladly give my life for him, he means more to me that I do. I would really appreciate some advice, nothing abusive. Thanks.

I thought it might seem childish but i was gonna suggest my bf do that w his buddies since they were lookin for sth to do in chicago

chicagoindoorracing.com check it out if you think it looks good
it looks a little dorky in my opinion, but hey! what do i kno

i am 19 and am expecting a baby in 5 weeks. my then-fiance recentley walked out a few weeks ago leaving me w/ a whole load of bills at my house, which i am renting. my rent is 0 and then theres utilities w/ a seperate water bill and seperate electric. i have a cell phone to pay for too. i cannot work until 6 to 8 weeks post partum. my fiance had been paying for all of this until he walked out. my mom told me if i can get money to pay the landlord (which is my aunt) she will pay my utilities. my other aunt and friend have decided to split my phone bill. my mom has been wanting me to move back in w/ her, which is right next door. she has a husband (my step dad) who lives there too along w/ our adult cousin and my 2 sisters ten and 13. the house is only 2 bedroom so my parents have a room, my sisters have another room and my cousin sleeps on the couch or floor downstairs. i got my friend to loan me 200 and another friend to loan me 100. i just needed 80 more and was working on getting that from my grandma for doing work around her home. (cleaning, ect)

i gave the 300 to my mom for her to pay her sister a rent payment and tell her i will have the remaining $$ the next week. my mom says theres no point in having me be in debt to people and having to borrow $ for the next 3-4 months. my bills are already low b/c my shower head is broken so i shower and mostly eat on my moms side. (our houses are in a double) i have the food card and medical card so i can get food my bills are just a problem b/c i have 0 income. i am an stna and have a job lined up to start in april making 10 an hour, so paying ppl back will be done in the next 6-8 months.

my mother, however has her own ideas. she took it upon herself to call up my aunt and tell her i’m going to move back in with her b/c i couldn’t come up w/ the money in time. my aunt gave me till feb first but my mom told her thats ok i’m willing to move right now asap. then my mom spent 50 of my rent money on her and my dad to eat at outback and 40 to buy my sisters and cousins pizza and the another 30 to get my sisters haircuts.and of course now has no reason to pay utilities. so i’m going to use the $ i get from my grandmother and whats left of what my mom did not spend to cover the utilities.

i asked my mom about this and she said oh i will pay you back but i know thats not going to happen. she never pays any1 back unless its small things like borrowing a dollar or two until my dad gets home or something. my mom babysits and make a few hundred a week and my dad is a roofer which is seasonal work. my grown cousin doesn’t work either.

so now i am forced to move back next door-which i really don’t want to do. i will sleep down stairs in the corner of the living room in my bed w/ my baby in her crib or bassinett next to me. i have a care cart from walmart for her that will hold her diapers and such but that has to get stuck in the bathroom b/c there isn’t room in the living room. my stuff and my babys stuff like clothes and toys and any extra anything will be in tubs in an upstairs "play room" that is only about 11 by 4 feet.

i just got a bunch of new house things for christmas and they now must go into storage. i know i should be grateful for my mom being so generous when shew doesn’t have too, but honestly if you knew my mom. she is pushy and only wants me to live w/ her b/c she wants me to stay dependant on her and not be independant or have my own things. and also so i can clean the house and cook for her like i did in my teen years. i will have to work 2nd shift when i start my job which means sleeping late into the a/m. like i said my mom babysits a lot of toddlers who don’t go to school yet so w/ my bed in the living room i won’t be able to sleep past 6 am.
to top it all off, i got put on the chore chart w/ my sisters. my mom says i can help out if i am staying there and i said yea but i don’t need to be on a stupid chart for babies. i can already tell the chart is a way for me to be made to do plenty of work and not have any reason to not do what my mom wants me to do. what would you do here?

hello i am not veronica that owns this profile but her friend, lydia. i just want to ask a quick ? of you guys.

Alright, so my son (11 months) and I went to Babies R Us today. We picked out a few nice outfits that were at a great price. Well, he is sitting in the shopping cart and all; we pull up to the register to pay and the lady sees the clothes and my son and asks, "Is this on a baby registry?" Now I do know that they are supposed to say that, I guess, but it drives me crazy every time we go and it is SO obvious that it is NOT on a freakin registry, I mean since the stuff I am purchasing is for my son (and that is made obvious to any normal, healthy adult) I mean, I would understand them asking me this question if I had some 0-3 months girls clothes or something, but man. Does anyone else get annoyed about things like this too?

I baby sat a young boy from the age of 16 mos to three years of age. He was with me an awful lot. At times more the 40 hours a week. "appointments" that lasted over five hours at a time. Don’t get me wrong, Christopher was a joy.

I wanted to ask other parents what they thought of this. I went to the store one evening with Christopher and his mother before they could drop me off at home. The mother let Christopher run wild down the aisles of this gigantic grocery store. At first I tried to blow it off. Reminding myself. "Hey your not babysitting right now. Mommy dearest is right there." But as we went to check out, toddler finally in tow (Because I called him over), he broke loose and went running down the aisles and out of sight. This time I went to go get him, and I brought him back. His mother freaked on me. "He’s okay, you’re not his mother." I’m sorry, letting your kid run around in the grocery store when your not paying attention is one heck of a way for you child to go missing. I was always taught when you have small children you don’t turn away from them to browse, you don’t walk away from the cart when their in it and you definitely don’t let them run around while you shop!

I don’t know maybe because she was there I should have just let it go, but it really pissed me off. I don’t have any children myself, but I am an adult and I still felt responsible. Should I have step back? or was Mom out of line?

im 26 years old and ive been disabled since i was 21. used to be mobile and able to be athletic and do gymnastics and then i got injured and had to leave college and now i can barely walk and have chronic pain every day.
i have trouble moving or bending or getting up and down steps.i have pain all of the day
i have trouble managing and i havent moved out yet because of it and i havent been able to work. i didnt have a job before i got hurt because i was at school
i cant clean a home or hold shopping bags,push a shopping cart, walk more then a block, drive,do laundry or hold a frying pan.i am barely able to get out of bed some days.
i dont know if i will recover.but my life expectancy is about 98 years old before i got hurt. its genetics where my relatives live long.they dont age very fast so i have 85 yr old relatives that are very youthful and still active and walk much faster then me
i have trouble walking
i am crying in pain all day and im hoembound some days i cant get out of bed. i have trouble using the toilet, showing and dressing but i manage on my own, i want to keep my dignity and try to do things on my own. im afraid ill end up in a wheelchair, a doctor told me in a few years ill be in a wheelchair confined to one

how do i live life like this? go out into the world and start my adult life as a handicapped girl whos is pain all day crying? i live with my parents still and have never been independant and i still need to finish college but i cannot do that.i cant hold a book or walk without losing my balance or wobbling and walking very slow. it takes me a half hour to get up a few steps sometimes.i cant concentrate on schoolwork if im in pain, so theres no way im going back to college in this condition
school used to be rigorous, i would have to run down hallways and race up steps carring heavy books….

thats out of the question

my parents want me out, they will throw me onto the street if they have to and i dont belong at an institution, im a smart girl who was in an accident, but i didnt get any money because i could not sue
i dont want to spend 70 years in a nursing home
i am thinking i could get disability and move to a bad neighborhood where the rent is cheap in the projects where there are many drugdealers and men with guns and gangs and grafitti and rats. i can move in and be aquainted with my gangster neighbors who will think its odd that im the only upperclass white jewish girl in the entire building comples or projects. i live in nyc bronx so the projects here are very dangerous theres so many driveby shootings and drug infested bulidings in the projects, id be terrified and there robbingd snd muggings. id get raped or something, if they saw a pretty white girl in the building who cant run if they are in danger. id be subject to a mugging
ive had racist attacks on me in the past for being white, ive been beaten by african american men, yelled at by a few african american women a few times calling me a dirty white girl and other racist names
so i would not feel safe in a bad neighborhood thats drug and crime infested being the only white and non hispanic one there
i come from a family of all college and graduate school educated relatives and my parents are millionares , they have a pool and a housekeeper and a few cars. no one in my family has lived in poor conditions
so id be scared to go into that. my family wont give me any money, not even for food. so i need money. if i get food stamps thats 100 dollars a month since i have no children. disability checks would be about 700 dollars and rent could be about 500 dollars for a section 8 housing or projects
normally a regular one bedroom apartment here costs 2000 a month. but in the projects it might be 500-800

i need clothing too, toiletries,medicine,extra spending cash for transportation.id have to take taxis because i cannot ride a bus or subway because of crowds and its not safe im at risk for being mugged
if i had a job and wasnt disabled id have a college career and id like to make 3-10 thousand dollars a month supporting myself but i cant do that right now
i come from a rich upbrining in a nice neighborhood that is like beverly hills, alot of spoiled kids grow up here with expensive stuff, pools in their backyard, rich people who are doctors live on my block
but theres no section 8 housing here, thats all down by the bad neighborhoods with drug infestings
i know that i need 400-600 dollars a month for food and groceries. the 100 dollar food stamps wont pay for anything. food pantries dont give out more then 10 items a week. usually its canned stuff
i need vitamins daily for my osteopenia,insnunrance does not cover vitamins.i need to shop for clothes about 5 times a year. id need about 10 thousand dollars a year to spend on clothes and shoes and accesories. if i shop and spend 2000 dollars ea time, i wear plus size clothes so they add up and are more expensive then skinny sized clothes
then i need extr
i cant walk with a cane. i have pain if i lean on anything with my arm. i am probably more severely disabled then you are.

i could not possibly get through even a class of college. who will carry my books for me? how do i make sure no students bump into me in a crowded hall. how will i get to a class
what if theres a fire
how will i study if i have pain

hello i am not veronica that owns this profile but her friend, lydia. i just want to ask a quick ? of you guys.

i am 19 and am expecting a baby in 5 weeks. my then-fiance recentley walked out a few weeks ago leaving me w/ a whole load of bills at my house, which i am renting. my rent is 0 and then theres utilities w/ a seperate water bill and seperate electric. i have a cell phone to pay for too. i cannot work until 6 to 8 weeks post partum. my fiance had been paying for all of this until he walked out. my mom told me if i can get money to pay the landlord (which is my aunt) she will pay my utilities. my other aunt and friend have decided to split my phone bill. my mom has been wanting me to move back in w/ her, which is right next door. she has a husband (my step dad) who lives there too along w/ our adult cousin and my 2 sisters ten and 13. the house is only 2 bedroom so my parents have a room, my sisters have another room and my cousin sleeps on the couch or floor downstairs. i got my friend to loan me 200 and another friend to loan me 100. i just needed 80 more and was working on getting that from my grandma for doing work around her home. (cleaning, ect)

i gave the 300 to my mom for her to pay her sister a rent payment and tell her i will have the remaining $$ the next week. my mom says theres no point in having me be in debt to people and having to borrow $ for the next 3-4 months. my bills are already low b/c my shower head is broken so i shower and mostly eat on my moms side. (our houses are in a double) i have the food card and medical card so i can get food my bills are just a problem b/c i have 0 income. i am an stna and have a job lined up to start in april making 10 an hour, so paying ppl back will be done in the next 6-8 months.

my mother, however has her own ideas. she took it upon herself to call up my aunt and tell her i’m going to move back in with her b/c i couldn’t come up w/ the money in time. my aunt gave me till feb first but my mom told her thats ok i’m willing to move right now asap. then my mom spent 50 of my rent money on her and my dad to eat at outback and 40 to buy my sisters and cousins pizza and the another 30 to get my sisters haircuts.and of course now has no reason to pay utilities. so i’m going to use the $ i get from my grandmother and whats left of what my mom did not spend to cover the utilities.

i asked my mom about this and she said oh i will pay you back but i know thats not going to happen. she never pays any1 back unless its small things like borrowing a dollar or two until my dad gets home or something. my mom babysits and make a few hundred a week and my dad is a roofer which is seasonal work. my grown cousin doesn’t work either.

so now i am forced to move back next door-which i really don’t want to do. i will sleep down stairs in the corner of the living room in my bed w/ my baby in her crib or bassinett next to me. i have a care cart from walmart for her that will hold her diapers and such but that has to get stuck in the bathroom b/c there isn’t room in the living room. my stuff and my babys stuff like clothes and toys and any extra anything will be in tubs in an upstairs "play room" that is only about 11 by 4 feet.

i just got a bunch of new house things for christmas and they now must go into storage. i know i should be grateful for my mom being so generous when shew doesn’t have too, but honestly if you knew my mom. she is pushy and only wants me to live w/ her b/c she wants me to stay dependant on her and not be independant or have my own things. and also so i can clean the house and cook for her like i did in my teen years. i will have to work 2nd shift when i start my job which means sleeping late into the a/m. like i said my mom babysits a lot of toddlers who don’t go to school yet so w/ my bed in the living room i won’t be able to sleep past 6 am.
to top it all off, i got put on the chore chart w/ my sisters. my mom says i can help out if i am staying there and i said yea but i don’t need to be on a stupid chart for babies. i can already tell the chart is a way for me to be made to do plenty of work and not have any reason to not do what my mom wants me to do. what would you do here?

im feeling overwhelmed and stressed about the things he is doing. He has done everything early very early..including walking at 7 months. He right now up to this point moves furniture..studies it and then moves it. Heavy chairs tables etc. figured out light socket safety covers studied them and then went to find other things that look similar and put them in the light socket..We had to buy ones that screw into the wall. climbs everything and if he can get up on it he will find a way..stacking books, toys, pillows etc. He gets very frustrated about things he cant do. Will be so relentless and determined..crying pitching a fit till he gets it. He will spend all day going back 2 it. It dont matter how much u play redirect, nothing. He is super social always been that way. He loves people and gets out in public and says hi to everyone and if they dont give him attention he will them start yelling hi leaning toward them. If they still dont he will get very upset and start trying to get out of the stroller or cart..He dont care about movies tv shows nothing. If tv catches his attention it is a adult program like priv. practice not a cartoon..I cant get him to sit for 5 sec other wise. However he loves books with animals or people in them. He can make noises of sheep, dog, cat, bear, etc. people he studies there faces and mimics there expressions and uses them in an approprate ways. He talks and uses short sentences like I want up..mama again again. and where u go? He does sign Lang. too.I went online looking up things and read books..not to many things that describe my son. The women i talk to say oh my son does all those things and more. Im not doing this for attention or to declare i have a genius..It is exhausting with him. I mean dont get me wrong he is a joy i am amazed by him daily at the stuff he does and says and how he analyzes and wow..I mean its a bitter sweet thing. However I work with people with Autism. So im not sure if im on high alert cause of that, he dont have traits of autism though. I no signs of delay not this..I mean is it okay if he is ahead or doing things like this..so active too?Some things he is right on cue with development..But so many things are advanced and different. I see all my friends with there kids and there kids at my sons age were similar but however SO different at the same time. I mean there is a clear difference with him around other kids his age. Can anyone shed any light? Or give me advice, or just to hear all he does is typical toddler would be great. If u have questions or need more feel free to ask.. Thanks

My son will be 13 in a few months and he still wets the bed almost every night. According to halacha, he’ll still become an adult whether there is a ceremony in shul or not. But he certainly isn’t a "man" if he still wears diapers to bed. I’m sure you can imagine how I feel having to buy him "goodnites" at the supermarket. I fill up the cart with other things, then go to the diaper aisle, look around to make sure no one can see, then I put the goodnites in the cart under other things. Is taking away his bar mitzvah an acceptable punishment? Of couse, he can have the party as soon as he starts waking up dry.

An Orthodox Jewish family lives in the apartment next to ours. I have become good friends the mother of their family. (Mother of TEN children, aged baby through teenager.) We were shopping together the other day and she was piling diapers into her cart. Not just baby diapers but diapers of all different sizes, all the way up to adult. She told me that for the "Seder", the family dinner on Passover evening, everyone wears a diaper so they don’t have to take any breaks. Apparently the dinner (which is also a prayer service of sorts) can go into the "wee" hours of the night. She told me many Jewish people do this, but have you ever heard anything like this? I know my kids would freak out if I wanted them to wear diapers. But I guess her kids are used to it, so it isn’t strange to them.

The most economical thing would be to hold it in our home – but that is ABSOLUTELY not an option. The weather is scorching outside, so if we were to do something outdoors it would have to include water. Blow up Waterslide at home, again, would be perfect but not an option. We’ve done bowling, Chuck E Cheese, go carts (first birthday outside and kids were dying). The theme parks are all asking + per kid, not to speak of an adult so that’s out of the question. I’m kinda stumped. Thought about doing a Bakugan thing, but not all kids have/or are into that – there’s approx a total of 6 kids + 4 siblings and 5 adults. At a complete loss this year – its for next month. Maybe Wekiva Springs nature thing, my kid likes to fish – but other kids might think it lame? Any Ideas?

My daughter just turned 2 in November and she misbehaves so badly! She makes me so mad but nothing I do seems to work!! She is extremely AD HD so talking to her about something she did or shouldn’t do is close to impossible. Her mind is already on something else by the time you can get her to look at you and listen to what you have to say. Then she has no idea what you are talking about! She is also extremely bright. She is Very advanced and can talk Very clear. Right now when she doses something wrong I raise my voice and then she knows that mommy is mad! When she troughs fits when are at home I try to ignore her but that has never worked and Always makes it much worse! It always ends up in her getting a spanking and sent to her room for time out. (I’m a big believer in spanking your kids!! Not beating your kids but spankings! I grew up with 2 sisters and we wore spanked regularly! I am also severely AD HD.I was diagnosed in Kindergarten. Now being an adult I can see how my mind works is different than people who don’t have AD HD! Spanking always worked! I turned out great and have a wonderful relationship with my parents and my sisters!). She dose not take anything i say seriously, noting seems to scare her into listening to me! When we are in public it is so bad! She will scream and yell like she is dyeing, flail her arms around and kick her legs! It embarrasses me so bad and makes me so mad! Its getting to the point where we aren’t being invited to play groups and my friends don’t want to hang out when I have to bring Sam! Don’t really know what to do! Her Father lets her do what ever she wants and that drives me absolutely crazy! When we all go grocery shopping he lets her go from being carried, sitting in the cart, standing in the back of the cart, walking, riding under the cart!! AAAHHHH I just want a well mannered child that listens and respects me! Any one knows how to get through to an AD HD child? What is the best way to discipline in public? Are we even allowed to swat our kids hands? My aunt got DEFAX called on her at Kroger for telling my cousin that she was going to leave her if she didn’t stop having a fit in the toy isle and allow my aunt to pick her up! She didn’t even lay a hand on her! She didn’t even threaten to hit her!! I can’t stand it when nosy people do that! What they fail to realize is that the kids that are being abused and mistreated are so quiet and shy that they are often time over looked! What can we do in public? What’s crossing the law where you are at risk of getting into trouble with DEFAX?

this halloween i wanted to take our golfcart out & im 14 years old and about to turn 15 which means im getting my permit soon.
im going around in a high class neighborhood and she wont let me go without an adult.
she thinks that if one of the people that are coming with me are gonna fall off the golf cart and hurt & break their leg or something and that since shes "in charge" of the kids then that their parents are gonna blame her and sue her?!
im getting so f***ing maadd. & im NOT gonna go around a high class neighborhood with my MOM in the golf cart. im basically 15. thats just sad.
plus if me& my friends walked, it would take almost 5 minutes to go to ONE house.
what can i say to her thatll convince her to let me go ALONE WITH HER!? or an adult. she knows im a good driver and wouldnt let anyone else drive it.
yeah please dont make fun of me..
im not over weight. im a level 4 gymnast & in good health. im not snobby either. soo thanks.
the houses are fun in this neighborhood, im a kid at heart. i do still trick or treat but not like the way you would when you were like 10.

I have a 5 year old. For her happiness as well as mine, I hire a sitter when attending events that I don’t deem to be child-friendly. I also don’t frequent adult places when hanging out with her. It’s unfair to her to expect a child of this age to sit through a lecture on modern art or sit for hours at a coffee house.

I moved to a new town and parents here seem to not to understand this. I go for date night at a nice sushi place and parents are screaming as their kids refuse to pipe down. I go to a coffee house with work and next to the college students are women with screaming infants and toddlers. I went to the grocery store this morning. A child of about four started throwing a terrible temper tantrum and the mother started swearing at him in the middle of the store. My daughter was in the cart and I simply did not know how to respond to this. What is the right way to deal with these rude parents? I’ve joked that I should just stop wasting money on sitters, but…
I don’t consider a grocery store an "adult place." That experience is what made me come here. I have the general sense that parents who disrespect their children like that create disrespectful children. Look. There are lots of people in a store. Most parents walk around with their kids tantrum-free. I also don’t think tantrums are appropriate after a certain age. My daughter would not dare and I take her at least once a week.

I’m not rich. A sitter does not have to cost an arm and a leg. There’s a sweet girl next door who has a little sister of about 8 who adores Grace. She comes back feeling like the very mature big girl she wants to be, hot pink mani-pedi included. I pay an hour for an average of about 4 hours a week.

I’m a newly single parent working f/t no less. My kid (and the kids of most people) manage to behave.

There are exceptions, but a rested child with parents who believe in discipline and expect good behavior will generally not experience these issue

OKAY so the kid isnt BAD!
My brother (turning 9 this week) has a friend who is over our house CONSTANTLY (friend is also 9). My mom and step dad dont realize it but this boy influences my brother to do things that he normally wouldnt do. I’m not saying that my brother is a saint, because he isnt.

Here are a few examples:
My brother has a go-cart but he is only allowed to ride it when an adult can closely supervise and when the ground is dry (so that its not all muddy) etc.. My brother knows when its okay to ask to ride the go-cart and when its not (IE: if it just got finished raining, my brother wont ask) this is a typical convo between the two
Friend: "can you ask your mom if we can ride the go cart?"
Brother "not today, its too wet outside"
Friend "Well then i minus well just call my mom and go home if we’re not going to ride it"
And then my brother says "okay i’ll ask" and he bothers my mom for HOURS, non stop, asking to ride the thing.

More details coming
I’m 20 years old (21 next week) and my bedroom is directly accross from my brothers, so when the two kids are in his room I hear basically everything that goes on.

Now, this wouldnt be such a huge problem other than a few things.
1. I dont like my brother being pushed around like that
and
2. As well as the friend CONSTANTLY being over, I’m CONSTANTLY watching the kids. I’m sourt of like a "live in babysitter" lol. For example my mom had a dr appt today and asked me to get the kids off the bus (never told me that this friend would be coming over as well)

when my mom asks me to watch the kids so that she can go out to eat, or to the grocery store, she always forgets to mention that the friend is here too.

I’ve talked to my mom about it, telling her I probably wouldnt mind but I’d like to be prepared and that she needs to try to communicate better with me…
I’ve also shared my feelings about the friend but they’re convinced that hes a great kid!

I got my Florida learners license yesterday and want to drive everyday for the practice. For a few day’s I’ll be going to North Carolina and was wondering if I could drive there (obviously with an adult). I have looked everywhere and can’t find any laws pertaining to this.
Also, in North Carolina, how old do you have to be to drive a golf cart?

Every single time that I try to stand up for myself, my husband treats me like I am wrong. He also somehow twists the situation to make him look like the victim. This even happens in situations that don’t even involve him!
I’ll give you an example. Today we were out shopping with our little girl. The check-out lane we were standing in was pretty full, so the cashiers opened a new line. A lady standing behind us with a cart full of groceries runs for the new check-out. In the process, she rams me in the back with her cart and almost runs my daughter over who I have by the hand.
Instinctively, I pulled my daughter closer to me so she wouldn’t be hit. I just turned and looked at this lady with a complete look off utter disgust and I shook my head. I was kind of in shock that an adult would actually hit someone with a cart in an attempt to be first in line. I didn’t really know what to say to her.
The lady yelled out over her shoulder "Sorry!" and kept going. I turned to my husband and said "Did you see what that woman did? There is something seriously wrong with her!"
My husband said "Well, she did say that she was sorry. Anyway, what do you want me to do about it?"
He says this every time something like this happens. I don’t want to give the impression that things like this happen often, but we have been married for 10 years so it has happened before.
I feel like he always sides with complete strangers and he expects me to just take abuse no matter who it is coming from. He gets upset and treats me like a child if I somehow react to a rude situation.
Also, he makes it seem like I am blaming him if I dare "complain" to him about another person’s actions. Instead of saying something supportive to me like "Ya, she really had a screw loose!" or something to that effect, he asks "What do you want me to do about it?"
I don’t want him to do anything. I’m not asking him to run after the lady and beat the heck out of her. I’m simply looking for some supportive words from my own spouse!
Is this a guy thing? Why does he treat me like this?
