The bigger question is: Why should ANY government be involved in simple parenting decisisons?
It doesn't matter who had custody or whatever...If the Mom had sole custody, then it is up to her to make sure that her wishes are followed. The court should not be involved unless the school was siding with one parent over the other. But it sounds like this was simply a case of Mom said yes, and Dad said no.
-PM
Dad had legal custody, not mom.

WOW! That's a hard one - I think I'm glad I'm not that girls mother or father or the judge!!
I don't think its hard at all. The girl is 12 and should have no say. Period. I can't believe a judge would reinforce her acting that way. She should have scolded the girl for wasting the courts time. The father is right to appeal because I wouldn't want that ruling on record. Yuck.
I can't believe it when I see stuff like this. You can't spank your kids, you can't threaten a good butt-whooping if they do something, and now this court doesn't want you to take away something in punishment either? What? We should just let our kids run rampant? This stuff just kills me. It is absolutely no wonder that there are so many disrepectful, mean, unruly kids in the world.
Vent over.

I don't have me time. My family is my life & my greatest blessing. If I paint my nails, my daughter does hers too. I admit that it gets frustrating to have one barge in when I go to the bathroom, but that is my doing because I have always allowed it.
However, I know that some people really need me time. My good friend does. Her hubby is not the least bit helpful about it either. Even when he is there, she is ultimately responsible for the kids and he whines for weeks if she goes to a movie or something with friends. I think this can be a maor problem. My hubby shares some of the responsibility so I don't really need the me time. Oh, btw, my friend had to go back to work to get me time. Hopefully, if you talk to hubby maybe he can help you out.

We are trying to sell ours by owner soon & might be willing to rent or do a lease purchase (and yes, we do things on the spur of the moment and could get right out for you). What price range are you looking for? Our payment is about $1000/mo. so it would be at least that. We do have a fenced yard and the house is nice, only about 7 years old. Let me know if interested.
-
Have you checked with any nursing or assisted living homes? They always seem to be looking for someone to help in non-nursing ways. It may be a good oportunity to work into your nursing degree.
What part of Paulding are you in? I have been trying to find a sitter, just for the rare occasion I need one. It wouldn't be very often, but would be extra. I don't use one at all now, but if I had one available, I would probably do more things that would require one and would feel like I could work extra some times if needed.

do you have any interior pictures?
Here are some interior pictures. We are planning to paint the red wall that is in the kitchen picture within the next few weeks so it will be a more neutral color. After we finish the painting the house should be ready to move right in. The house is very modern (see the cut-outs in the living room wall) and the fixtures, etc.. are very nice. As you come up the stairs there is a mirrored alcove built in with shelves for collectibles or things like that. Let me know any questions. Thanks!

I'll definitely have to agree with you on that one. I have been amazed at the rise in C-sections. My cousin just had one a couple of weeks ago. I think in her case they gave up too early.
I agree. Not only that, I don't think this is that big of deal because some individual plans won't cover maternity at all (I have looked into it). At lease this one was honest right up front and denied her instead of hiding it in writing somewhere and then not covering her...

Ok, my honest reaction was to remember the old saying
"weed out the dumb ones"
Isn't that terrible? I know it is absolutely awful, but it did pop into my head. Seriously, I am tired of people suing manufacturers. Watch your kids. If this kid had issues and needed to monitored as a toddler would, then that is their responsibility & has nothing to do with a manufacturer. Really, just about anything can cause harm if you eat 30 of them or if you poke them the wrong way or if you stack them up & climb on them, etc.. There is potential danger in everything that is why you supervise your kids until they are old enough & responsible enough that you KNOW they wouldn't do anything like this.

Here is a pic of the exterior of the house.
I talked to hubby and we have decided that we don't want a profit, we just want out. We want to move out of state and can't maintain these payments so we need to sell it first. We are willing to sell for $129,900. If you know anyone interested, let us know. The house is definitely worth the price and would be a nice deal for someone.
-
The price will be $135,900 if we can sell it now, without putting any more money into it. It appraises higher than that & a similar house in the neighborhood recently sold for over 140k. We just want out. It does have a fenced yard also.
I will try to take some good pics this weekend and post them!

You're lucky that's all he had to pay. My daughter had to pay a 200 dollar fine and spend 24 hours in jail for her stepson who was 6 at the time for him being buckled and not in a booster.
I don't understand this and several other posts. I just asked my friend, who is an officer, and he verified that children aren't required to use a booster or car seat once they are 6. It is recommended, but they only have to be restrained in a car seat until 6. So, I don't know why people are getting tickets for 6 year olds. And as for the person who just took the test, the officer also said that you don't need to be in a car seat until 6, a booster is fine after 4 as long as the manufacturer specified that it was for 4 years and up (I guess some are for older kids only). Although, I don't really know how an officer would know what is what. So, what is the deal? Is this another law that the officer's can't even agree on what is what? I am so confused!
And I did try to look it up online and everything I saw seemed to back that up. So, for those that are saying you have to be older, where are you finding that info? (I am not trying to doubt you, I just really want to look at the websites so I can know what is what). Thanks

I can't believe how many people are taking this personally. Oh wait, yes I can, I am on p.com!
Mr. Dis - you are dead on.
I am a woman and I didn't take offense to your post. I knew you didn't literally meaning sitting on your A$$ and doing nothing. I totally get where you are coming from. Those that don't probably aren't running short of money yet.
My hubby and I were just talking about this. Our friends have 5 kids and have been on medicaid and food stamps throughout. I told him the other day this could be us soon (except the 5 kids part). I don't work & it wouldn't be feasible to work & pay gas and daycare fees. I wouldn't bring home anything to add to the income and someone else would be raising my kids. I told him in a vent the other day that I would be better off to stop trying and just get on welfare. So many people take advantage of that system and yet, it seems to reward them for doing nothing (and by this, I mean not trying to work or help financially). And don't jump on me, I see nothing wrong with getting help if you need it, I just think there is something wrong when someone can have 5 kids and the gov't keeps paying for it ---there needs to a cap or time limit or something.
We are trying to get our house ready to list so that we can downsize. Whether or not this will be possible is beyond me because I know a lot of people are doing this and very few are buying. I am praying that it will sell successfully before money becomes such an issue that I can't wait any longer. In the meantime, I am trying to limit my going out to 1 day a week. This stinks because I am used to taking the kids to the beach/park daily in the summer. However, it is not possible so they will have to get used to the backyard.
I forsee a lot of people turning to gov't assistance and wouldn't be surprised to see it run out. I am not living in a fantasy that life is going to be fine for everyone. I also try not to be too dramatic, but I do see another major depression in the works. I see everyone around me struggling just to cover necessities and, at this same time, many people are getting laid off. The cost of living is going way up & job pay is not going up and, for some, is drastically going down. If we continue down this road, I would bet in 2 years no one will know what a "good" credit score is. It is scary to me.
As for scooters, good idea. However, as more people want them, the prices will get jacked up too. Plus, you can't take your kids on them & I don't think they allowed on the interstate so they are really an option for those who commute long distances and could use them the most.

I am getting ready to put my house for sale & wanted to scout out preliminary interest. We are located in Burnt Hickory & the house is a 2001 split level with vinyl siding and stone around the door. It has 3 beds, 2 baths and is framed & stubbed out for an additional 2 rooms & bath in basement. We haven't completely decided if we are going to finish it before we sell or not. I figured I would check around and see if I can drum up any interest and go from there. If the person would want it finished, we could do it and if not, we could just sell it faster.
If you know of anyone looking, please have them contact me at arynnc@yahoo.com
I would be happy to do a private showing before I am officially ready to list. I would say it will probably take me about a month to finish up the painting & preparations to list and if I can find a buyer during this time, I would be more than happy to pay a referral fee. So, if you know anyone moving to the area, just let me know. If you send me a buyer before the end of June, that actually buys the house, I will pay a referral fee of $500. So pass the word around, you could earn some extra money right at the time everyone could really use it!
I will post some pictures later, just wanted to go ahead and get the word out there.

Hi, I would definitely ask for proof of rabies vaccine & I would report it to AC.
I believe in an actual attack they will issue a citation to the owner. Maybe that will motivate her to get control of her dog. Plus there will be a record and, after several complaints, they will evaluate the dog. This attack may not have been bad, but who's to say about next time? If the dog was docile, it wouldn't have attacked...

that solicit in subdivisions where no solicitation signs are clearly posted? I, for one, am sick of picking up bags w/ rocks out of my driveway and removing sticky notes/envelopes attached to my mailbox.
I think they are trying to get a business going the best way they know how. I found a great company from a mailbox flyer & I don't think it's illegal as long as they don't actually put it in or on the mailbox itself. The post is fine according to the company I used to work for (and lots of people used those PJ's coupons).
I admire those that are trying to make their way. Instead of "wasting time" putting out flyers, they could always just head down to the local unemployment office... I personally would rather read a flyer and throw it out if I am not interested.
-
I will hold for someone who sets a date/time to pick up, but I definitely wouldn't hold it for someone who won't email you back...
As for buying things, I was pretty upset last week because I had made arrangements to purchase some clothes for my daughter. I had emailed about 4 times back and forth and told the lady on Sat that I couldn't get them Sunday & would pick them up Monday when she got home from work. Well, Monday I contacted her to confirm the times and she emailed me back and said she sold them. Now, I thought that was really rude because I had told her that I wanted them & confirmed that I would buy them. She didn't say that she had a problem waiting and I had told my daughter I was getting them. So how do I tell a 6 year old that I am no longer getting her a bunch of clothes? It really puts me out if someone makes me disappoint my children. Sometimes people are just way too inconsiderate.
But, if you have tried to contact them at least twice (once may get lost in cyberspace) and given at least a few days to respond (in case they are incapacitated or something), I would just move to the next in line.

40-6-91 Pedestrian–Right of way in crosswalks
(a) The driver of a vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to
cross the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the
roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching
and is within one lane of the half of the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling or
onto which it is turning. For the purposes of this subsection, "half of the roadway"
means all traffic lanes carrying traffic in one direction of travel.
(
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or runinto the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impractical for the driver to
yield.
IMO, no car in a walmart parking lot should be driving fast enough for it to ever be "impractical" to stop. Seriously, many people have to back out of spaces blindly and just listen to see if someone beeps. There are kids everywhere.

All right, I will be the first to bite!
I personally don't see a big deal if she could see the car. With the doors locked, if someone tried to break in, she could have been back to the car before anything would have happened (given that the scenario is correct & she was outside & within site of the car). I can tell you that as a mom, I could be there in a flash and tear into anyone that I thought would harm my child! Would I have done the same thing, no. I definitely would not have done it at a Walmart. But I also don't think its neglect or abuse. We, as parents, need to be able to raise our kids without constant fear of the government stepping in. I definitely see a reason to intervene with extreme abuse, broken bones, etc..., but we have to draw the line somewhere. If this type of thing is grounds for child removal, next we might see kids getting taken away for playing outside while the parent is inside watching or kids doing things that others see as dangerous (like riding 4 wheelers). Parents have the right to be parents and use their own judgment to do what they think is best for their kids. (Once again, not referring to physical abuse).

Despite the fact that people seem to think trampolines are evil
, you really have to know that injuries can happen with anything. We can't keep our kids from riding bikes, skating, etc... just to prevent injuries because they won't get to enjoy life.That said, I know it is hard as a parent. My 6 year old is a big, big tomboy who does crazy stuff all the time. However, when she was about 3.5 she was riding a bike (with training wheels & a helmet) and she started going really fast down a hill. Of course, I panicked & she knew it. She read my emotions and got scared of the bike. My daredevil just started riding again last year & will not even think about no training wheels. 1.5 years is a long time for a kid! I felt so bad. Now I have to constantly remind myself that she can tell how I am feeling so I try really hard not to let my fears pass to her.
After all, I jumped on trampolines, rode my bike without a helmet, skateboarded, etc... and only had one broken bone & no stitches. I know rationally that she is doing what kids do, but I still get worried.
So sorry your little guy is going through that! But, seriously, don't beat yourself up. Every child gets injured and no matter how hard we try, we can't always prevent it. Even if we are within arms length there are some things that just happen. At times like that you feel so bad - doesn't make you wonder how anyone can intentionally cause their child pain????

Georgia Girl,
Don't do anything without prior approval. You don't want a hospital bill that isn't covered. Also, you will need approval of the new doctor because many of them won't take a person in the midst of pregnancy. If there is a doctor that you have a prior relationship with, that may be your best hope. I tried to switch during one of mine and couldn't because it places more liability on the doctor if they didn't experience the first part of the pregnancy.
Also, have you thought about if you do switch they may not be willing to induce you? I had different dr's/practices for both of my children and neither would have thought about inducing before 40 weeks unless there was a serious health problem (which I am assuming there is not since the doctor hasn't made an issue of you getting in).
I had to call the hospital myself when I was induced past-term. That is how it is generally handled.
Now the nurse should not have been rude, but I would be patient about the room. You can control when you go in, others can't so they take a priority. You don't want to go in and be in a regular room vs. a birthing suite and they only have the number of rooms that they have.
As for the nurse, just tell yourself that you don't know what she was dealing with. There can be many life-threatening things that happen in the delivery room and she could have just experienced something terrible and then took it out on your for calling. Not to stick up for her because she should be professional at all times. Just telling yourself some of the reasons why she might be that way might help you to let it go. Which is best for you at this point. Don't stress yourself out when you are going to have your blessing to hold any day. I don't know if you are a believer or not, but I think if your birth has been delayed a few days maybe it is for the best. Maybe God is keeping him/her in there safely until it is time
I am sorry you are dealing with this. Try to relax, it will all be over soon. I know you are impatient but it will be worth it when you hold that baby! At that point you probably won't care who delivered him/her or where you had him/her.
Best of luck!

Catholics take marriage vows very seriously and don't believe in divorce. I don't think they generally make people sign affidavits, but this gentleman isn't an existing member of the church and they haven't known him long. You yourself said that he is not very religious so maybe they know that and want some verification that he is being honest.

Thanks! That is kind of what I thought & was hoping not to have to deal with going before a judge.
What is difference between a yard sale and a consignment sale?
in Internet Cafe
Posted
This is correct. Although lately, I have found people selling their own stuff, for higher prices, and calling it a consignment sale. Technically that is not consignment...
