i kind of touched on it in the above post.... and i'm not trying to be aggressively offensive. you and your wife are not capable of raising this child, not in the capacity that you've shown so far. that's been made clear by your numerous posts. your son is completely different than your daughter. your son is not ok. your son is a danger to himself and your family. expecting your son to behave/learn/respond like other 'normal' children is completely unrealistic. yet you're doing nothing out of the norm to compensate for his mental/behavioural issues. this is setting him up for failure.

well, according to pcom....we don't have the right to screw in the car anymore. who needs government when you have the kravitz's for neighbors.

But I do still have things to do other than stand behind him all day saying "no". as a parent, no, you don't. you are responsible for raising your son to the best of your ability. continuing to let him indulge in dangerous/prohibited behaviours is not indicative of you doing all you can. i'm sorry, for your situation, for your son, and for your inability to realize that you can't keep rationalizing with a child who is completely irrational. he needs help, not discipline. your whole family needs help in learning how to deal with the unique challenges having this child in your home present

honey, no. my parents didn't have to sit on me when i was his age. but...i didn't have oppositional defiance disorder. you child isn't like you, or me. your child has special needs....needs that cannot be met with ordinary measures.

i think i may have left the garage door open this morning. thanks for reminding me.

He immediately went balistic and pronounced me the "worst dad ever!!". Ahaa!! does that mean I finally got your attention on this? um, darlin'...i think the world of you..but yeah. this remark should have gotten YOUR attention. not because you took away your kids birthday, but because you continue to set your kid up for failure, and then punish him for it.

i fell like kids should know to leave things alone when told, repeatedly. however...your kid isn't getting it. at all. why does he still have access to the printer? why is he left unsupervised to play with said printer? sure, take away his birthday. but you might want to look in to taking away the printer as well. seriously.

agreed.

Sun is still shining here in smyrna...

I guess I'm trying to understand the common misconceptions among folks as to what their perceived rights are. I head the expression, 'god given right' this morning, and it stooped me in my tracks.

Nothing about bathroom breaks or marriages being defined as an opposite sex right. Interesting.

can someone pretty please publish the list of basic human rights that i (and you as well) are entitled to? thanks a bunch!

when we start selectively restricting rights of groups we don't like, we need to keep in mind that we've also restricted the rights of the groups we do. slippery slope...double edged sword...whatever other cliche's might apply. (i took a stupid pill this morning)

i have mixed feelings about this.

thanks darlin'!

::paranoid::

8 hours, out of the flow of trafic. check!

need more info on the ride, please. or should i just contact someone at the legion for a separate flyer?

suspected of what? hanky panky? again...how is this hurting anyone???? and should law enforcement really be wasting everyone's time trying to squash boners? (for the OP) get a life, Mrs. Kravitz!!!!!!

LPPT said....'pie'...:gigglesnort:

Oh, thank god! My brain was starving!!!

Don't make fun of the stutter!!!

Praying is such a passive activity. Why not offer to cook a meal, bring by some reading material and spend quality time with someone, wash the dishes, give the husband a hug, or a break, or listen to him vent.....actions speak so much louder than words. TJB...I would live to meet you and your wife, any evening that she's feeling up to a visit. Let me know what I can do for YOU.

Can't help it...put your hand over my mouth next time!
