  1. Um, wouldn't it be easier to simply wait until the kid can WALK through the Aquarium, rather than to take four days of previsions with you? I mean, once a few dozen people have this same idea, that's part of the big problem in a facility like this.

     

    I mean really - what does a 1 year old get out of something like this? I think the Aquarium is a good place for kids to learn once they're actually KIDS. But babies and toddlers - I'm sorry - they barely know what planet they're on most of the time. They're not getting anything out of it. Buy the babies an underwater Nemo DVD instead.

     

     

    Wow, I have a 12 year old and a 16 month. We enjoy doing things together as a FAMILY! I really hate it for all you guys that have a problem with big strollers.

     

     

    Another thing, do you let your older children miss out on things? Am I suppose to keep all my kids at home because I dare to use a stroller? :lol:

  2. The shelter does have both pups (not available yet) and adults. The shelter will require a fence/pen check to be done prior to adoption on the most "pure" and can be done in 24-48 hours (as long as you don't live in Cobb, they won't allow it at all). A lot of the adults are extemely sweet & gentle, but knowledge & training are key!

     

     

    and I'm going to add Husky & Malamute to your list on "not for the first time dog ownership" list -- the rest of you message is great!

     

     

    Please tell me more about Huskies? Why are they on the list?

     

  3. See you later today!

     

     

    And anyone looking at an unaltered dog / puppie, the fee will be reduced to $80 (normally $100), which will also include $50 certificate towards the spay/neuter.

     

    Just wanted to add that the shelter only takes cash or checks :)

     

    Good luck ARP and hope you get a wonderful new addition!

     

     

    Well shoot, my hubby took both of those away, since he knows I am coming to the shelter this afternoon! :lol:

     

  4. Do you know the password to your hubby's email? voicemail? Do you have access to his credit card information?

     

    Since the manfriend and I live in seperate states, I had to compile a spreadsheet for all of the numbers and passwords! I wanted to know if I'm the only one or if this is a pretty normal thing for couples.

     

     

    Wow a spreadsheet? I think that is odd. My hubby and myself don't share passwords, I guess we never felt we couldn't trust each other.

     

  5. Always remember, and don't ever forget......It is always someone else's fault. This public service announcement is brought to you by the Law Offices of Scruem Associates. Stairs_by_Pixeltainment.gif

     

     

    Well that's not very nice, didn't sound like she was blaming anyone. I understand about the high out of pocket cost with sucky insurance.

     

  6. Read the clip. They were not doing anything when they walked up to the car. Alot of assumptions are being made because of it.

     

    Any teacher should know not to even drive a student home who doesn't have a ride because any child could make up a story afterwards or by how it can be perceived. In other words, don't put yourself in a position where a story could be told. I don't know if this is put in their heads now as much but it was a common rule before.

     

    I don't know what if anything was going on between these two people but I can say he put himself in a position where its a hard place to get out of by how it looks.

     

     

    Ummm does she live at the park? :lol:

     

  7. I so agree. People, especially on Paulding.com, need to watch their comments regarding this whole incident, because we are only getting what the news is reporting. We don't know all the facts and every comment that is posted is just breaking this families heart more and more. I speak this from experience because my wife was recently arrested for something similiar and it too was posted all over the news. Every comment and every news report hurt me deeply. I was already heartbroken and embarassed and comments from people who did not have all the facts just made me feel worse. My heart goes out to this family and no matter what kind of "mistake" he has made, we ALL need to be respectful of his family and what they must be feeling. If you know this family then surround them with love because they need it.

     

     

    :o Okay now I have heard it all.......way to defend sick adults who prey on children. Or make "mistakes" as you put it.

  8. As SW stated Dis jr. (6) has some issues. He too is small and taking growth hormones for it. He has ADHD. This confirmed by multiple Dr.s and counselors. He takes Adderall for the ADHD. Before you guys jump me for this, I will say only that you have not been in my personal shoes so keep negative comments to yourself. Thank you. The Adderall really does help his school behavior, but there is the problem with sudden fits and outburts. I am off 2 of 3 days and stay nearby in case the school calls. I liken his attitude to the following. There is Stupid and there is Stubborn. He is what I call Stupid Stubborn.( my son is not stupid he just does not learn from mistakes to well). An example, He belived the other day ( I do not know why) that his sister got a lazer tag system. This is untrue. I came in with her and he started boo hooing this fact and saying it was not fair. I told him point blank she does not have one. That was not good enough. He just kept on stoking himself up. What else can I say but it is not true. Why he does not get this fact is beyond me. We do not lie to him and do not play favorites. His fit lasted well over 30 min. It does no good to try to reason, nor use corporal punishment. Take things away, lose priviledges seems to work better but is not really that effective. Nor does it seem fair to punish him for being mistaken. But his tantrum is a different story. I punish for those. But he does not seem to get the point that the tantrums are what keeps getting him into trouble. He lost 5 toys the other day for his refusal to wear pants to the funeral home. The longer it takes you to put those pants on the more toys you lose. Go to his room get a toy and give him the opportunity to correct his behavior. This is incredble to me. He stays in tantrum mode even when it is plainly obvious that it is detrimental to what he likes. And no he does not get the toys right back. He has to earn them back with good behavior.

     

    Yes we have been on his butt his entire life. I could say he is used to getting things but he has never gotten his way after we said no. But there in lies the problem, he just does not believe us when we say no. We are doing all we can at this stage so we can, hopefully, keep him from getting out of control when he is bigger and harder to handle.

     

    Be careful with Adderall, sometimes it makes kids more angry and out of control. Did you try a nonstimulant?

     

    PS: I am not judging you, just wondering what results you have had with different meds.
