I recently read an article that talked about those age old sayings that kids these days have not heard of or would have people saying it's outdated.  Things like "children should be seen and not heard".. "I will give you something to cry about" etc...

Well, you know what ?  as a kid who was raised with a lot of those nuggets of wisdom.. I am making a case for why moving away from these kinds of things is creating a bunch of people that are increasingly less pleasant to be around.

Here are a few of the ones that stick out for me.. feel free to weigh in on your own.

So, this is not me.. but someone I know.... and she is the BM...but wants to know what is appropriate.. boundaries.. etc.. re her Exes' custody time. Specifically.. when her children have sporting events.

Has anyone read the story about Minnesota state senator Nicole Mitchell.. arrested for breaking into her stepmother;'s house?

She claimed she was just trying to recover some of her dad's things.. and his ashes.. because the step mom stopped taking her calls.. so that's how she decided to resolve it.

Look.. that was your dad's wife.. Assuming he had a long loving relationship with his wife.. why are YOU entitled to the ashes.. he would have left anything he wanted you to have in the will... I wonder if she was an absentee daughter.. until she wanted things.

I read an article posted on Yahoo home page.  A woman is upset because her EX and his new wife are naming their child the same name that she had given their baby that she miscarried.

When "confronted".. the guy initially goes deer in the headlight.. like he didn't remember that was the name given to his dead baby.

Then.. he kind of acts like maybe it's honoring the dead baby.. and no.. he won't ask his new wife to change the name.. because it's her baby.. and his EX can't tell her what to do.
