And I think Phil will wind up in the country music field after he is done with the Navy.

JMO!

I had to live with an aunt during my high school years.  She always loved to keep kids but always had a problem with the mothers because she claimed they never disciplined their children.  She is a firm believer in spankings and tries to enforce it into other young mothers.  I always rolled my eyes ignored it because I figured the mothers would eventually find another babysitter.  She also kept foster kids but got them taken away for some reason.  She said a kid claimed she was beating them too much and the blank blank State believed the kid over her.   I was already in high school when I lived with her so she never touched me, just yelled at me a lot and I kept in my room until I was able to move out on my own.   

Anyway, H likes to talk to her husband and seems to like to go visit.  We visit maybe once a month.  We have 2 children ages 2 and 6.  If they are talking loudly or laughing loudly she threatens them with a flyswatter. She has gotten the flyswatter out and gave it to me to spank them, which I did not.  She also gets offended and threatens them if they sit on the couch too close together.  She tells me that her kids never acted as bad as mine because she carried a hairbrush or a flyswatter everywhere they went and spanked them with it all the time.  She also claims that her DILs are lazy, wimpy and stoopid because their kids misbehave and they don't spank them enough or hard enough, just barely pats them.  Lazy, wimpy and stoopid is actually a nicer way of putting it then what she actually said.  She started in on one of her DILs at a family gathering and got a whole plate of food her face.   She is so proud of herself because she raised 3 boys and spanked them all the time.  Maybe they behaved well as children but the are now adults with issues.  One is an alcoholic and never comes to visit, one is dead (car accident drunk), the other drinks a lot and cannot seem to wipe his own tail.   What if the next time she hands me a flyswatter, can I swat her with it?   Just tell her that she was the one who taught me how to handle people who get out of line.  Seriously, I really should say something when it happens but I just leave, then go home and stew.  I am way too much of a pushover and don't know how to get out of that. 

Maybe I am out of line but I cannot understand why someone would take it upon themselves to decide how and when to discipline someone else's kid and try to enforce their method parenting on someone else.  H and I take full responsibility for our children financially, getting them to school,  babysitters (which makes her mad, why pay someone else, she needs the money).  We never depend on her for anything with the girls.  

My 6-year-old does not really get in trouble in school that much except for talking.  The teachers say she at the top of her class and an advanced student.  The daycare has yet to say anything negative about my 2-year-old's  behavior and she has been in there since she was 6 weeks old.  They cannot be as bad as she is insinuating they are.   H just says, well if it bothers you that much we won't go over there anymore but he doesn't understand why I am so upset, he thinks I should just let it go.  

it also bothers me that she is going around town telling everyone how my kids are unruly and I don't do anything to discipline them. My boss has told me how derogatory she has been toward us, her children and grandchildren that she does not even like to talk to her. 

I only recently discovered youtube!!!  Now I'm hooked.  I sat and watched Josh Groban sing "She Dances"  this morning.  What  a cutie pie, not to mention talented. 

Oh if only I were younger . .  . sigh

Here is the latest scoop - and thanks everyone for all the support. 

I called today and spoke with the office manager, who seemed very nice and truly seemed embarrassed by the whole thing.  She told me that the doctor himself had wanted those letters sent out, and that they are not for patients who missed scheduled appointments at all, which is what I thought it might be (even though I cancelled the appointment at least a week prior to when it was scheduled).  He is charging us for making the appointment and cancelling it!!!  Yes, I am serious.  She apologized, said her hands were tied and that she had butted heads with him over this, but he would not budge.  He told her to tell the patients that they could either pay the $100 or he would turn them over to his attorney.  Again, I am serious.  Talk about a jaw dropper.  She also said that I was not the only patient to be complaining.  Apparently other folks are as upset at this as I am. 

I told her that I understood she was in a tough position, and I do.  It is not her fault this doctor is an a double s.  I told her to go ahead and tell him to contact his attorney if he felt he had to, but that I would be filing complaints with the BBB and the Kentucky Med. Licensing folks. 

I contacted the BBB, filed a complaint promptly with them, and also talked to the Kentucky Attorney General's office, who are sending me a complaint form.  Tomorrow I will call the Med. Licensing Board, as well as my insurance company, just to put them on alert. 

I hate the thought of this quack getting even one person to pay this ridiculous price.  A patient should not be punished for cancelling an appointment.  I just can't even begin to express how sick this makes me, and hopping mad.  Not that I think I am smarter than everyone else, but you all know that doing the work we do kinda takes the "godness" out of the way we look at doctors.  I know that people are going to pay  him when they are threatened with his attorney, and that is just wrong. 

Anyhow, thanks for letting me vent and I will keep you updated.

I wanted reach through my computer, grab that ole Warren Jeffs and ring his darn neck myself.  I was appalled at how many people fall for this.  I can understand if they were born into it not knowing any better, but older people that have been out and about and getting into it just slays me.  I guess it is like one of the girls interviewed said, it is more about control and power over another than sex.  She was talking about how Jeffs pulled some poor woman's braids, twisting it so hard that she fell to her knees and begged for mercy and he said "men, this is how you want your wives."  It just slays me how people can fall for Warren Jeffs, David Koresh, Charles Manson etc., hook, line and sinker. I know there is more out there.  These are just the ones who have been caught. 

Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food.  They'll come in and help with prep first.  We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.

They've been cooking since about the age of  5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook.   Cat
