Reverse psychology

rebellious thinker — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:57:02 -0600

Maybe you could let the thought bubble out next time. Maybe he really is your other half, with ten sweatshirts of his own and a place at his parents. But would that appeal to you?

I keep going on date two, just to be sure that the boredom that was creeping into me was not just in my imagination.

Your post

I don't know what I would have done but I doubt I would have handled it as well. I probably would've repremanded the little girl which would probably have gotten me in trouble.

First Fight

FearlessMom — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 06:11:30 -0600

You handled the situation very gracefully.
Your post reminds me of when my daughter got into her first fight... http://fearlessmom.blogspot.com/2008/05/fight-or-not.html

Thank you.

I just feel as though what I did was so inadequate. I don't know how to put something like that in context for her.

Great Parenting!

You did the right thing. I am proud of you. However, the other mother needs help. Maybe she lives in an abusive environment. How sad. I hope your daughter is feeling better.

I don't know what I would've done if I were in your shoes... but you handled it very well.

Single mother--not by choice, well kind of

rebellious thinker — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 07:13:46 -0500

I started out being a married mother, but then divorced my daughters' father, so I am a singe mother kind of by choice. You never know how things will work out in a relationship: even the best laid plans of men and women can be change by the confluence of personalities. So, you really don't need to sweat how it came to be, just celebrate your daughter and your relationship as she grows--and as you grow with her.

Sounds like you had a bad day...

I just came across your blog post and had to say hello. Your frustration is obvious and, as a person living with multiple sclerosis, I was drawn in.

It sounds as though the space you were saving was not a handicapped space. It is likely that the folks who tried to take the space were simply confused by your presence.

I have a handicapped placard because I often cannot walk great distances. I also use a cane.

However, if I was one of the drivers trying to access the parking space you were holding, I would have been perplexed. I would have had no idea of the story behind a person holding a parking space. I would have wondered why you have more right to the space than I.

Those of us who live with disabilities, and the people who love us, have an uphill battle. But we must fight the good fight. It is our responsibility to educate the general public about multiple sclerosis and other disabilities.

We cannot expect to catch a break every time. Not everyone knows or understands... or cares... about our problems. That's all part of life. We just do the best we can. Sometimes we are the beneficiaries of "The Kindness of Strangers."

One thing is certain -- you are a good friend

Glad you could rely on pink balloons before she started to actively recruit men around you.

Very inspiring

Your donation will be well worth it to some baby or child whose mother is not as blessed as you are to breastfeed so successfully. I looked into breastmilk donation and didn't make enough for my son and another. I so happy it was an option for you. Thank you.

holding poop

willabilly64 — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:48:47 -0500

My daughter is 7 yrs old and she also holds in her poop . Shes been doing this since she was three. And I undersyand about the poops as big as her arm! I am just blown away when I see it I wonder how can she even poop that out?. But Im sorry that I dont have any answers for you, I'm in the same boat as you I've tried everything I wish I had an answer or reemendy on what would help or stop this behavior, I dont know if its just that shes too lazy to go or shes to occupied whith her playing? I wish you luck your not alone.

What Was She Thinking?

Lauriesm — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:18:08 -0500

Rielle Hunter should have used her head and should have been thinking. The guy not only is married, but has a wife who had just come through a battle with cancer. Has she no compassion for Elizabeth Edwards. Obviously not.

I'm deeply disappointed when any inspiring leader does this kind of stuff, most particularly when he's John Edwards and I gave him so much credit for being a stand-up guy with a great marriage and family.

But it really drives me crazy when a woman - seemingly a smart one - doesn't use her brain.

Edwards: What a Disappointment

rebellious thinker — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:06:11 -0500

Where to turn? Maybe the answer is in the last line of your posting: Elizabeth Edwards, or the women. Have many female politicians been caught in cheating scandals? Do they think that they are "masters" of the universe and that they will not be caught? Have we heard of male escorts being secreted into rooms in the Mayflower? (Oh, sorry, I mean for women.) Is it because at the core, the men are in politics for the power and control, and women for the good they can do. I know this is stereotyping and oversimplifiying, but sometimes that just makes things stand out.
