Why let kids decide?
I really don't understand why all these people let thier kids decide whether they want to come/go visit with the other parent. Why do these kids get to make adult decisions? What happened to "Because i said so". It is a court ORDER, kids shouldn't get to decide, especially when the other parent rewards their behavior. So tell me, why would you let a child - sometimes as young as 6 - dictate your relationship with them?

Any one else have slow kids/ skids
SD16 moves at the pace of a snail. She has been doing dishes - normal dinner dishes for 4 - for over 60 minutes now and counting. Earlier she was shoveling a walkway 18 inches wide by maybe 30 feet long it took 45 minutes. Every single thing she does takes forever. We have tried everything to get her to do things in a timely fashion. Nothings worked so far. Any ideas?

O/T: Men vs. Women
At work we have two men who were completely blindsided - or so they say - by being served divorce papers. It seems here too some of the DHs are shocked when their significant other has a foot and a half out the door. I couldn't help but wonder why this is? I've had several girlfriends divorce - they all knew it coming, "been waiting for years". Do we as women communicate that poorly? Is that why some of us have trouble getting the changes we want in our homes?

I hate waiting...
Came in from work this morning & checked the messages... seems we got a call from a children's crisis counselor yesterday & missed the call. Given that yesterday was day one of the new "uniform look" I have a feeling I will be losing my mind shortly. Keep DH & I in your prayers and thoughts that we keep our cool. I'll keep you updated.

Are DH & I as heartless as we've been accused of?
So, yesterday was the lying about FB & yet another issue of lying today. We have taken electronics, grounded, etc. nothing seems to faze her. Seems we need to be creative. SD16 was given several jumpers (uniform style) & turtlenecks (it is cold here in Jan.). This is to be her clothing for the next three weeks. One day for each month of sneaking & one day each for the straight out lying. We are cold, heartless, unforgiving... waa waa waa, i kinda tuned it out. So, before either one of us has second thoughts... is it really that terrible ?!?!

What wonderful qualities BM teaches SD
What wonderful qualities BM teaches SD, insert all intended sarcasm please. I really have to wonder just what BM and apparently her entire family is thinking. Dh and I just found out SD16 has had a hidden FB account for a year and a half, She has friended BM, SF, and her maternal aunts from this account. SD lied about it when asked by DH (three times) then said BM told her it was okay to open since at the time (summer 2009) and periodically since SD has lost FB due to inappropriate behavior. Really? Its okay to sneak & lie… is this really the type of kid you want, BM?
