You missed the point - sm
The point is not that she necessarily go with the goal to work things out in order to stay.  The point is that she goes to talk with someone, either with him or alone, to sort through it all so that in the end she can close this chapter of her life and either move on with him or without him.  She has stayed these 4 years, so why not be able to put it to bed once and for all, one way or another, with the help of a professional to help guide her? 
I guess you missed the point
I was talking about those who have multiple partners by the time they marry (and these days many women wait until they are close to 30 for marriage) and start having sex at 15/16? Well....you do the math! LOL Sorry but yes I do think that is immoral and I don't know of many guys in my day that would have wanted to marry someone who ten or more other guys got to see naked if you know what I mean. :)
You missed the point of my post

The only things she chose to complain about were nitpicky things -- what they serve for dinner.  Most kids don't have dinner with their parents.  Last time I checked PB&J and yogurt were pretty healthy.  Her GS has ADHD.  He isn't going to "behave" on command.  Any MT would know that.  First she complains because they don't correct them, then she complains because they are, just not to her standards.  Instead of criticizing her kids, she should be trying to help the situation. 


Did she hit a nerve with me?  Absolutely.  My parenting skills are always being critiqued.  From the time my oldest son was old enough to eat until about the age of 6, I had to pack PB&J everywhere we went.  He refused to eat anything else.  Was it because I didn't offer it to him, no.  It was because that's what he liked and that's what he could control.  My other child has ODD -- oppositional defiant disorder.  Is it because I didn't parent him correctly?  No, it's because that's how he's wired.  I have 2 other children who are not like this.  They were all raised in the same house under the same rules.  I am constantly berated by my father for not "cracking the whip" on him and by my mother for being "too strict."  It's so easy to sit back as GPs and offer criticism after criticism.  Then after upsetting DS or DD, you can go back home and not be the one who on top of your feelings of inadequacy now has to deal with a difficult child. 


I could see if it the OP said the children were malnourished or not cleaned and clothed properly, but she's complaining about yogurt and fishsticks.  She's complaining about an ADHD child who doesn't behave. 


Fine. But that wasn't my point.
There's no need to jump all over someone who wants to help.  I applaud the unselfishness. 
No comparison
How can you compare a family history of cancer (genetic cause) to all the multitudes of health problems caused by smoking (a voluntary choice). That makes no sense at all! Why should those of us who live healthy lifestyles have to pay for those who choose to be unhealthy? If you get cancer because it runs in your family, that's a totally different thing. There's nothing you can do about that.
It's not really a fair comparison - that may be what she said to you (sm)
but although it may not be true about you it doesn't mean it isn't true about her. I am sorry she said that to you and I would never say any of that to my MIL or about her other than on here on an anonymous board. But thanks for your opinion.
uh, weak comparison;
nm
Comparison very much valid. Having seen & followed
x
again, weak comparison; we are educated in BCP now, she is famous and rich
nm
N/T - I missed that one
Do I really want to know? LOL. I was thoroughly grossed out last Saturday when they repeated the "Reefer" episode. That's the worse gore I've seen so far.

thanks--I must have missed the very end of the sm
first episode. Now it makes sense.
I can't believe I missed that! sm
Did that happen this season or last? (Wilbur's bio-dad)

I wonder if they're going to keep up the story line about the child-biter.
sorry, missed that, but use caution just the same
be careful
Sorry, missed this post. Yes, very appropriate. nm
,
Missed my periods.
//
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Must have missed that episode. (sm)
Oh wait, just had a thought.  Was it that weirdo guy they hired to help out at the funeral home- the one the mother liked?
I guess he missed them.
x
I think you missed your calling, Cat . . SM
should have been a CHEF!  
Thanks Nana! I missed that. nm

They've probably missed it because...sm
the boot camps are south of the line where the snow is.
I missed the 1st night but saw the 2nd.
It was hilarious. It is obvious some people are even shocked when they hear their own voices a capella. They have probably only sung along with the radio or in the shower before, but even after they've been rejected they keep trying to make a pretty sound come out, like "where is it?" Uh, this is what you always sound like, but it's been drowned out by the radio, LOL.
I guess I must have missed something
when reading, didn't realize there were no beneficiaries named. Wonder how that happened, maybe it was different in the 'old days' but what a headache for someone to try to untangle it all. Don't think today you can get away with not naming beneficiaries, at least what I've seen.
Me too! Never missed Here Come the Brides or
the Monkees!
Yep, missed that part. Thanks!
:)
OMG. I missed the last episode?!?!
x
I think you missed part of my post....sm
she does see a psychologist, and has talked with her caseworker as well as both of us foster parents about this (in addition to another prior foster home that had problems with her stealing). I only called the juvenile authorities to see if they had other suggestions of things to get her to stop this behavior before she gets to the point that she steals something and the store calls the police on her.
Missed a lot of the discussion apparently - sm
What I don't understand is where you get that all unwed mothers are drug addicts or alcoholics.

That is not true at all. Sure, it happens to some but for you to lump unwed mothers into that category is terrible.

You don't know my personal circumstances. I don't know yours.

I'm just saying that I would like to help others that are in the same situation I was in way back when. Hopefully I would be able to help them so they don't have the struggles that I had.

Thankfully, my child and I were never homeless but I worked my tail off to make sure that didn't happen. I sometimes worked 2-3 jobs.

I also worked my way through school. I didn't get hand outs, didn't expect them either but it really would have been wonderful if someone was there to guide me to the things that I needed to do. Maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to get to where I needed to be.

Absolutely nothing is free in this world and that would not be the point.

However, this is a dream we are talking about right? This isn't about socioeconomic dysfunction. It's about someone wanting to help someone else.
Missed these shows yesterday...sm

Anything good happen?  Did Nick reappear?  Please update me...


TyneLyn's party! We missed you, Me2

Little Tyne sure had a great time at her party today! I gave her a small piece of her doggie cake and mom, dad and I had one too! It actually was quite good, but dry, not sugary sweet, of course.  I gave her just a little vanilla ice cream with her cake. Later the big guns!  Her Dad went into the TV room and brought her brand new toy out on the porch!  She played with it all evening and even when I was leaving she was still under the end table between her mom and me while we were watching TV, playing with her new rope toy. She sure had a great day! I said to my mom tonight that it takes so little to bring joy to pets and make them feel loved. Making an animal feel loved and safe is everything to me. I am going to volunteer at our local S.P.C.A. this fall for sure. The orientation is the second Saturday of each month. I work every other Saturday, and the first one that is free is October 13. I will be there!


 


How cute! Sorry you missed out on it , maybe next time ;)

Oh man, I missed it! Hayseed...requests?
How about we send in requests, and then Hayseed can go out and act them out? That could relieve some boredom while sitting in front of the computer all day! LOL!


Oh gosh, I missed the boat on this one!
I just posted what I thought was awesome, not what I was dreaming was awesome! I have no imagination.

Okay, calorie-free ice cream would be my awesome thing. With Cool Whip. Calorie-free Cool Whip.
glad you are ok Hayseed, I have missed
reading your posts. I have been to the point where the first thing I do when I come to the board is to see whether you posted back yet LOL.
Hello Hayseed, you've been missed again.
Funny picture!!!!
Darn, missed this show.

I missed the show but just saw a clip
What in the world was Teri Hatcher thinking? I thought she really embarrassed herself.
I missed it last night...what happened?
I searched the net but was unable to find any thing on last night's show....
I was up last night but missed your post
So I was up last night at that time but missed your post.

I see you are on PST, where are you located? I am in the Seattle area.

I guess you could call me a Goth MT as well : )
I missed the part about the picture
Forget it. No way. They probably want a live-in sex slave.
Please tell me...who did he pick? I had a sick little one and missed the whole thing ! nm

Is there an age limit on being able to sign up?? I might have missed my chance. LOL
Sorry couldn't resist. I'll never be too old to think that sounds wrong
Man, can't believed I missed this thread today!

I actually laughed and said, "Hells ya I'd eat that chicken!"  I used to work third shift for an answering service and every Christmas they would order chinese food for the daytime staff's lunch and it would sit out all day and when I got to work at 11 p.m., you can bet your butt I'd still eat it just because it was free!  Never got sick either, even though it sat out all day and who knows how many dirty mitts touched it.  Yep, three years of room temperature leftover Chinese food and not one case of the trotts.  Maybe the MSG saved the day?   



Had the flu. Missed work. Slept 12 hours. sm
Call in sick maybe twice a year and this year it had to be on New Year's Eve. Hope they didn't think I wanted an early start, because I don't drink. Threw up all morning, lounged on the couch the rest of the day, snoozed here and there, went to bed at 9 and got up at 5:30 to work. Fun day.
Thanks for the info! Ever feel like you just totally missed something? LOL
That's so funny to me that I am from Florida, have been to the Keys and never knew that!  I thought they were from other exotic areas and that they had to be shipped to the US and bought from pet stores.  Had no idea!  That is too funny!
I missed but said wrong in working so hard
abd much when children growing up- that did not stop me from being involved but had to work a lot to make ends meet. I probably should have gotten on welfare and then more time to spend with the kids.
anyone watch date my ex? i missed it monday - sm

did jo pick someone yet, and if so who was it



Can't ever catch a break! Missed court date for

I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!).  So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!).  So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa.  She was happy, though.


I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in.  I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between.  Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me.  Guess where I put it?  Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket.  Yup, I forgot to go to court last night.  Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems.  Now there is an arrest warrant out on me.  I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket. 


Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits.  If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing.  For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud.  I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD.  I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long.  Oh, well.  They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that.  I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles!  Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day   


p.s.  I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 


Update - doctor bill for missed appt

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.

Question on birth control and missed periods...sm
Has anyone ever skipped their period by starting a new pack of pills instead of doing the "period" week? I used to do this every now and then with my old brand of pills and never had any problems. When the next month would come along the period would start right when it was supposed to. I was switched a few months back to a new pill, generic Ortho Cyclen, and decided to skip my period over Christmas. It is now time for my period and nothing is happening. Anyone ever have this happen??  Thanks
