I would like to find it for my daughter. I am 25 and the book may have been my brothers who is 32…so it was made between late 70′s early 80′s. I have searched for years in resale shops, and cant find it under a isbn number so i guess it has long been discontinued. Does anyone have it or know how to go about finding it?

Was about 10 years old. I challenged him for being and idiot and called the cops. He was calling his kid stupid and dumb for letting the cart go. It had rolled a little but it had stopped. It did not hit anything.
I was ready to kick his butt but my husband came from behind and the cops arrived at the same time.

I know when u are at the grocery store u want the closest parking spot to the building so u dont have to push ur grocery cart or drag ur kids so far. But why when i went to the gym today did i see a bunch of people racing for the closest parking spot when there were a ton of them out towards the back. they dont want to walk so far, then why do they then go into the gym and start using the treadmill for half an hour?
why the thumbs down? i thought they were good answers. funny thing is, im in ohio so its pretty cold, however this was at 10am, and it was a very nice day compared to the ones weve had lately. no rain, clear skies. ud think people would want to take advantage of that, huh?

I went to Walmart yesterday, because my sister and I were going to go to the beach.
I went to get some cute towels to make our swimsuits. Anyways, I went to the towel section.
Then, immediately I saw these ghetto African Americans shaking the aisle, talking loud and laughing, chewing on their gums loudly Well these were two tubby fat black girls pushing a cart filled with 4 kids AT LEAST in each cart breaking their toys and sucking on their little ghetto corner store 50 cent lollipops (the kind you buy when you on food stamps).
Anyways, I got SO scared, I just hold on tight to my purse and looked for a towel. I kept my eyes focused, making sure not to look hoodlums in the eye since they give you mean looks and start some BS at the pinpoint beyond. Well, the tubby fat girl bumped into me, knocking me head-first into the shelf. She said, "aw hell naw, is this b-tch okay" "I think that b-tch be okay" "naw lets see if this b-tch is ok" "girl i think that b-tch be fine and okay!" "but girl i just wanna see if the b-tch is OK! Okay?" I just said immediately when I still had my stuck in the shelf "this b-tch is OKAY!"
They said "fine then b-tch, okay" "she got a stank attitude, she better check herself okay girl?" "yeah girl, okaaaay".
Ugh, ghetto people are so annoying. Why are they so annoying?

I have been married for 8 years, together for 11. We have 2 small children together, own a small business together. He is the provider, I am only the lowly bookkeeper. Basically I am a stay at home mom, and cart kids around to preschool and dance lessons, and whatever else.

For the last 2 years, I have been made to feel that everything and anything in our lives that has gone wrong is all my fault. He is constantly complaining that I have made mistakes with the business, or God forbid, if I should not get the bookwork up to date in a timely manner, he threatens to take the bookkeeping away from me. (Which has already happened once). He is controlling with money, and only gives ourselves a draw that covers bills and groceries. He has complete disposal of all business credit cards and eats out twice daily with colleagues or friends. He complains that I am frivolous with money, and a big spender. I never spend any money on myself, only for the children. (Clothes, toys, etc.) I have become depressed, and his only response is that when I am down, I bring the rest of the family down.

I am no longer sexually attracted to him, as he has kind of let himself go. I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and workout. He works, and drinks, and sleeps… Whenever we are together, I feel physically ill. He gets angry that I cannot reciprocate, and states "something must be wrong" with me, and has made me make appointments with my GYN to get hormone testing. I can’t bring myself to tell him the truth about my feelings. He always shuts me down when I try to speak my mind. I can’t ever remember actual conversations, I only remember feelings that I have felt during those conversations, so he is constantly throwing the wording back in my face. So, therefore, once again, I am wrong.

I know I haven’t been happy for almost 2 years, and I don’t quite know what to do. I have made a list of pro’s and con’s, and there are no pro’s. He is a good father, and the kids love him dearly. I am afraid that I will be damaging the children’s futures by separating, but I don’t know what else to do. Am I entitled to some happiness? Is this really what God has intended for me?

Has to fit a 15 year old kid and go fast too

Does anyone know if theres a celebration staion or a kids staion or some sort of arcade,golf,go carts,or something of the sort in Texarkana, TX or somewhere fairly close?

The #1 sport on the planet. And interesting that people of all income levels play it..except in the USA.
Go to any slum or high poverty area outside the US. They are all playing soccer. It’s a cheap sport – all you need is a ball and a field.
Now I am generalizing a bit but look who plays it here. Wealthy and middle class kids. You don’t see low income kids playing soccer. It’s not big in the inner city or in poor rural areas. Why not? The reasons poor people play it everywhere else – why doesn’t that apply here as well? I suppose you could argue that playing soccer here costs alot of $. If parents choose to pay for expensive "camps" etc, and to cart their kids around in those infamous "soccer mom SUVs" to tournaments all over the place. But those things aren’t really required. Good players in say, poor African and Latin American countries weren’t raised that way.
Low income people love soccer everywhere but here. Why is that?

I always knew there was a possibility he would have to go somewhere, but iwe have a 3 year old, 2 year old, 1 year old, and I am due to have a baby in June. He leaves in july, I have no family to run home to like most women, no one at this base to help me, and no programs here to help me out, I already called the chaplain and family support center. I don’t know how I am going to go to the grocery store when 3 of my kids have to be in a cart, or to the dr office (I have to go once a month for a medical condition). The child care providers on my base can NOT be trusted and our CDC is always full. What am I supposed to do? Whoever said the Air Force is family-friendly is full of crap, they don’t care if we make it ok or not. Sorry but I am sick of these people who claim the Air Force is so great for families. my husband didn’t volunteer for this and I am afraid after a year of not having to take care of me or kids, he won’t want to come back to us! How do I get him out of this!!!???
In response to an answer that was given, I guess I do live in a "vacuum" I just moved here you jerk, and just because you don’t cARE about what your wife had to deal with doesn’t mean that my situation is easy. It is people like you at this base that make the military SUCK!
And also I wouldn’t have three kids if the military properly trained their medical personell, I got pregnant TWICE on the IUD because and Air Force doctor put them in wrong. Why are you all such a$$’s?

Okay so yesterday I was food shopping and this mom with two young children was also shopping. Her little boy was crying and screaming the entire time. This I was okay with, I mean I know kids have their tantrums and all that stuff. But when we were in line to check out (she was two rows away from me), her son had a ball he kept bouncing all over the place and then proceeded to play ‘basketball’ with the ball and my shopping cart. He kept throwing the ball into my cart, I’d take it out and give it to him, and he kept doing it. I was so embarassed, I didn’t know if I should tell the kid to stop and everyone around me would think I was a jerk picking on a little kid. Or if I should go and tell the mom, who wasn’t even paying attention. Eventually, the boy’s sister told him to stop and he stopped. But I was standing there like a moron not knowing what to do and everyone was looking lol What would you have done?
Jon oh wow great idea – I would just worry about the mother than snapping at me or something lol You just never know with people

Couldn’t figure out how to word that. Basically I was at the flea market last weekend and I’m going again this weekend selling stuff. Last weekend (a few days ago xD) was crazy when I’d get 4+ people in my 8 ft by 8ft little square of selling space because of some of the pricier things I was selling. I didn’t really care if little kids would cart of some small toys, which they didn’t, but my eyes were glued on the people looking at the DVD’s and video games and systems. I kept a count of every video game I had and how many of each and nothing was stolen, but someone a few down gets her Xbox games stolen a lot. Much of the buyers do not know English, so I need to help say how much it is using my fingers and coins and such.

How do I keep my flea market section controlled without chaos while helping the people who are buying and keeping an eye on the people looking at the video games and other things? I was with my mom yesterday but this time I will be on my own. I’m 17.

Any tips? I tried typing out every single video game and small video game system I had neatly and printing that out, but hardly anyone looked at it, so I just put the video games out.

Thanks. (:

I’m in a store Like walmart at a Ski Resort shopping, and I have Rollerblades on. There is also a baby in a carrier in my cart. A kid I have seen from school, but don’t really know him is there, his name is Eric Chung. He is there with his mom and they are talking about a relative getting a new job at Burger King. They are also wearing rollerblades. Next thing I know this guy grabs the front of my cart and starts running with me on rollerblades, I can’t stop him. He makes a sharp turn, me, the cart, and the baby go flying. I’m about to shout "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" (hesitantly, for some reason, I get the feeling I am there with my school) but I wake up at the beginning of shouting "WHAT"

This dream for some reason sticks out to me. It came to me in a nap, and It’s been about 40 minutes since I woke up, and I remember it vividly. Normally I forget my dreams or just disregard them within 10-15 minutes. Whats up?
(Most of these occurred before the Wal-Mart scene, but at the Ski-Resort. Pretty much just random scenes in the dream)

- at some point in the dream I was eating with my friends in a cafeteria-like setting. Kind of like what I have at school.
- At some point in the dream there was a vicious greyhound

———————————————————–
I woke up with a backache that was there when I fell asleep, but was worse on the side I landed on in my dream

Ok I have two step children who are 5 (girl) and almost 7 (boy) that visit my husband and I every other week. I think its a horrendous arrangement for the two kids. The boy is the only one in school, but now since I have finished student teaching and my husband has been working third shift I have been spending more time with the step children than their father did while I was finishing school. I have wanted to get a job but my husband makes it impossible because his son needs to be driven to school and picked up every day because the kid doesnt go to school in our district (thanks to his mother). My husband makes accusations to me like like "If you wanted to be a mother, you need to be a mother to all the children," meaning I shouldnt get upset about having to cart his kids every where, which i have done ever so graciously. We have a 1 year old son together and I am due to give birth to another child (girl) in may. I think its an unfair statement considering he leaves the sole responsibility for his children on me.

Any ways, the kids have been puking and having diarrhea shortly after they get to our house every time now for the last four visits which have been a span of about 2 months (every other week though). They puke in their beds or poop in the middle of the night every where. I think they are emotionally troubled and have allergy problems that are maybe draining into their stomach. Sometimes they get sick before going to bed too.

At first I thought this was a flu bug for a couple of times…but it seems like a repeated thing. One kid gets sick first and is fine the next day, and then the other one gets sick a day or two later and appears fine the next day. I have cleaned and sanitized their rooms and washed their things inside and out. I dont know how much more I can take! I have not gotten angry with them but i really feel there is a psychological issue going on with them and that they need help but my husband does not agree and their mother is an idiot.

There mother says they have not been getting sick at her house which makes me think that the kids dont want to be at our house most likely cuz their father ignores them mostly because he is working and sleeping constantly.

I think that they need to be with us less often even if their mother is a piece of crap alcoholic. I am not saying I don’t want them but they act like they don’t want to be here because they are always sullen and withdrawn. The kids’ mother is still their mother and they seem to want to be there instead of here. Their mother told me to ask them if they wanted to come home early (my husband blamed me for their answer) and they were wishy washy saying yes, no, yes, no and then finally saying yes. I think they are afraid to make anyone mad.

My husband just thinks that Im a problem and I dont want them around but I truly think they need help. They are sullen and withdrawn and can never give straight answers about anything. And the five year old cries if you ask her why she does ANYTHING whether it was something good or bad. She also cut her self with a razor inside while i was at school and her dad was fixing a vehicle outdoors and put safety pins in my sons play pen.

The six year old puked chunks in his bed the other night and climbed down from his bunk covered in puke to supposedly come tell me he puked but did not come in my room he just called my name (this is what he told me when i asked) so of course i did not hear it. He layed down in the middle of our living room face down in his puke covered shirt and i discovered him because I had to change our one year old in the middle of the night. I was not happy about that at all, but I was nice him and explained that he needed to come in the room actually shake my arm or something. He cried too. I just dont know what to do about the behaviors that are being displayed.

I have suggested counseling to my husband and their mother but neither agree. I dont know what to do. I have even tried showing more love and support to them by hugging them and saying i love you more often. I just dont know what to do. I have been with their father for almost three years, so the arrangement is not new to them. Any suggestions?!

Additional Details
They eat healthy food at our house and their mother says they eat healthy food at her place too so i do not know what could be the issue. Their doctor even told me that she thinks they pyschological issues and that they need counseling. My husband and their mother wont agree to it because they are in denial.

yes pen i see your point-the kids’ parents were never married though. and the kids’ father (my husband) does get angry at me in front of them when he thinks i am being unfair such as getting after them for pushing their brother etc. maybe i am a bit harsh at times but i will not tolerate them being a bully to my son…cripes the girl already put safety pins in my sons play pen and my husband just said she had middle child syndrome…hello….i find it extreme and that they need counseling. they are obviously not in the right mind set. Also, I have let the kids know that when i do get upset about things that it does not mean that i dont love them and it does not mean that it is necessarily their fault. their father yells at me in front of them and i have explained over and over that this is inappropriate and also they aer not allowed to watch bad tv when im around but their father and mother does not care….do u understand the problems that i have to deal with..its all too much!

I do not know what goes on at their mother’s house but no there is no sexual abuse in our household. At their mothers, there are teenage children living there..so who knows!

EXCUSE ME YES THEY HAVE BEEN TO A DOCTOR..CHRIST READ WHY DONT U
EXCUSE ME YES THEY HAVE BEEN TO A DOCTOR..CHRIST READ WHY DONT U
we live in the same area..about 20 min away. its a metropolitan area
for real lady…i am not tryin to take the kids away from their father…but their fathers actions (working and sleeping all the time) give the kids a pretty good clue dontcha think? the kids are always eager to go back to their mothers…hmm maybe because their mother is not around that often (must pay attention to them when she is) and they are allowed to do whatever they want because they are being watched by their older step siblings and their mother treats them like they are adults when they arent. i do not allow the kids to run wild. i show them love and support and pay attention to them and try to explain to my husband he needs to do more of the same.
the kids are not around anyone else but my husband, myself and our one year old. we do not leave them with sitters either. there are not many kids in our neighborhood and only the boy is in school and its hard for them to establish friends in our neighborhood simply because their is a lack of kids and my step son goes to school in another district.

Ok I recently saw a 0,000 episode of america’s funniest home videos and one of the nominees was this clip of a little black kid going "you spent all the money on that, you spent all the money, all the money?". Now the whole clip went like this a little girl got a go-cart for her birth day and her dad called out her little brother to come see it and he kept asking you spent all the money on that, now I can’t remember the name of the video and I can’t seem to find it from my discription and my sister wants to see it so if anyone knows what I’m talking about and has a link to it or nows what the video was called please answer thank you in advance.

There mother says they have not been getting sick at her house which makes me think that the kids dont want to be at our house most likely cuz their father ignores them mostly because he is working and sleeping constantly.

I think that they need to be with us less often even if their mother is a piece of crap alcholic. The kids’ mother is still their mother and they seem to want to be there instead of here. Their mother told me to ask them if they wanted to come home early (my husband blamed me for their answer) and they we wishy washy saying yes, no, yes, no and then finally saying yes. I think they are afraid to make anyone mad.

My husband just thinks that Im a problem and I dont want them around but I truly think they need help. They are sullen and withdrawn and can never give straight answers about anything. And the five year old bawls if you ask her why she does ANYTHING whether it was something good or bad. She also cut her self with a razor inside when her dad was fixing a vehicle outdoors and put safety pins in my sons play pen.

The boy puked chunks in his bed the other night and climbed down from his bunk covered in puke to supposedly come tell me he puked but did not come in my room he just called my name (this is what he told me when i asked) so of course i did not hear it. He layed down in the middle of our living room face down in his puke covered shirt and i discovered him because I had to change our one year old in the middle of the night. I was not happy about that at all. I was nice to the boy and explained that he needed to come in the room actually shake my arm or something. Of course he bawled too. I just dont know what to do about the behaviors that are being displayed.

I have suggested counseling to my husband and their mother but neither agree. I dont know what to do. I have even tried showing more love and support to them by hugging them and saying i love you more often. I just dont know what to do. I have been with their father for almost three years, so the arrangement is not new to them. They eat healthy food at our house and their mother says they eat healthy food at her place too so i do not know what could be the issue. Their doctor even told me that she thinks they pyschological issues and that they need counseling. My husband and their mother wont agree to it because they are in denial. Any suggestions?
Never said i didnt love the children but i do not think i should be forced to have sole responsibility. they have two parents that should be making the ultimate decisions and not forcing things upon me. i love them and will not be blamed for being an "evil stepmother" when that is not the case. yea i know i married the man and i agreed to help but not be be the only parent in the situation. comprende?

Ok I have two step children who are 5 (girl) and almost 7 (boy) that visit my husband and I every other week. I think its a horrendous arrangement for the two kids. The boy is the only one in school, but now since I have finished student teaching and my husband has been working third shift I have been spending more time with the step children than their father did while I was finishing school. I have wanted to get a job but my husband makes it impossible because his son needs to be driven to school and picked up every day because the kid doesnt go to school in our district (thanks to his mother). My husband makes accusations to me like like "If you wanted to be a mother, you need to be a mother to all the children," meaning I shouldnt get upset about having to cart his kids every where, which i have done ever so graciously. We have a 1 year old son together and I am due to give birth to another child (girl) in may. I think its an unfair statement considering he leaves the sole responsibility for his children on me.

Any ways, the kids have been puking and having diarrhea shortly after they get to our house every time now for the last four visits which have been a span of about 2 months (every other week though). They puke in their beds or poop in the middle of the night every where. I think they are emotionally troubled and have allergy problems that are maybe draining into their stomach. Sometimes they get sick before going to bed too.

At first I thought this was a flu bug for a couple of times…but it seems like a repeated thing. One kid gets sick first and is fine the next day, and then the other one gets sick a day or two later and appears fine the next day. I have cleaned and sanitized their rooms and washed their things inside and out. I dont know how much more I can take! I have not gotten angry with them but i really feel there is a psychological issue going on with them and that they need help but my husband does not agree and their mother is an idiot.

I think that they need to be with us less often even if their mother is a piece of crap alcoholic.

I think they are afraid to make anyone mad.

The six year old puked chunks in his bed the other night and climbed down from his bunk covered in puke to supposedly come tell me he puked but did not come in my room he just called my name (this is what he told me when i asked) so of course i did not hear it.

Lin-and i suppose your an expert…maybe even possibly a step mother yourself…doubt it. I never said i didnt love the kids and i will not be blamed for being an "evil stepmother" which is not the case. i am concerned for their well being and ultimately THEIR parents are responsible. its not fair to say that they are getting scared to spend a week with me…they have known me for almost 3 damn years so screw u and this behavior was not exhibited until recently!

its possible they could be taking something before they come i suppose …i dont know…i cant really put anythign past them because they have been caught lying before..such as my step son lied to me about seeing my stepdaughter put the safety pins in the play pen but he later admited to his father that he saw her do it. u just dont know if they are telling the truth. they seem sneaky..its kind of scary to be honest and difficult to deal with. my step daughter point blank lied to me about putting lotion on without permission when i smelled her hands and she still kept telling me she didnt use any…i just cant trust them to be honest…its very difficult.
they each puke 1-2 times every other week and they are given plenty of water and gatorade and they have seen a doctor..the doc thinks they have psychological problems and need counseling but the parents dont agree….do u understand now?

yea lady its hard being a step mother. it doesnt mean i hate his kids cuz im the step mother. people seriously relate back to stupid fairy tales too much. they are generally nice kids and im not going to take the blame for being bitter towards them because that is not the case. i am bitter towards the situation that the mother and father lay upon my hands when it should be them fixing the situation. after all, i didnt give birth to them. i do my best to treat them with respect and love and i will not be targeted cuz u have some sap story. there are lots of people in the world with problems and you dont need to go blaming me of this problem simply because im a step mother. truly, only step mothers would understand.
