When it first came on, I didn't want to watch it because the subject matter really frightened me. My family got me started on it, though, saying what a great show it is. It sure does make me think about what could happen if something like that were to occur, being under martial law and all of that.

Please don't think I don't yell.
MY DH is not a yeller and he has helped my calm that down a bit, I really just meant the name calling and the really cruel things that can be said.
Do you yell at your kids/spouse?
I grew up in a family of non-yellers. Even when he was drunk, my dad didn't yell. I've raised my voice to DH twice in our entire 34 years together, and one of those times was excused because I was pregnant, hot and miserable. I've never raised my voice to my kids.
Several of my friends are big-time yellers. It makes me cringe when I hear it. I guess cause I'm not used to it.
12-year-old son says I yell at him all the time (sm)
The thing is, I don't. I am recently separated for about 2 months now and my children are happy about moving, as their dad was not pleasant for any of us to live with. But my almost 12 year old son unfortunately seems to have thought it was going to be an opportunity to get away with whatever he wants. He begs me to let him miss school for no reason, and even when I explain to him the reasons why he can't, he wants to debate and argue until I have to firmly tell him no. Then Friday I had given the kids a little money to get something for Easter and I only had an hour, had agreed to take them to one store and if they didn't find anything to take them to another store this week. My son kept begging me to take him to two other stores...even though I explained to him repeatedly that I did not have time. He also started begging me to let him by rated M X-Box games and I told him no, that just because we moved doesn't mean he is old enough for those games. So he started crying on Friday. My 9 year old daughter is acting more mature than he is.
He was about to get out of the car to go into school this morning and he said, "you have been yelling at me all the time, you used to not do that!" My daughter said, "but that was just one time, what are you talking about? It's not all the time." and he again teared up and said that I do yell at him all the time. I think he is upset every time I tell him no. He tries to debate with me and argue his point but if it is no, I just say, "I'm sorry but I can't do that" or I have told him at times that he is not being reasonable. What is going on?
My husband told me I sound like a you know what when I yell. . sm
He said he just couldn't stand to hear me yell at the kids anymore. It was annoying him. I'm sure it was. All he wanted to do when he came home from work was sit in front of the tv and relax. Me yelling at the kids to do every little thing was really cramping his style. I stopped yelling at them because it really didn't help them listen anyway. If I had to tell them something more than once, I would turn to my husband and say "Jeff, it's your turn." Then he would yell at them! I can't believe how well it is working!
scares me
I wouldn't want my children attending a college in Utah.
It scares me.
A few weeks ago H and I had the TV on though we were not really watching it. I was working on a sewing project and H was reading a gmagazine. It seemed every commercial was a 'How I Met Your Mother" trailer and that guy who used to play Doogie Houser would come on and brag about how he had sex with 200 women. I popped up and said "gosh I wished they would not play that right now while the kids are still up and can hear." It was early in the evening. My 8-year-old informed me that she and her friends talk about it already. I asked her what it was, she said that S word. I told her that sex was not a dirty word but having sex with 200 people is not cool and a person could get real sick doing that. I asked what they say but she never would give me a straight answer. I have to try to figure out how to have a conversation with my kids about it now.
His speaking out against it would scares me too. (nm)

It scares me too, I have using Iams dry
for over 20 years with good luck thus far, canned friskies as an evening treat and so far, everyone is still healthy (knocking on wood). I am scared to switch to anything because of all this stuff, I love my cats, don't want to lose them.
OMG Cat that scares the Holy Cr*p out of me when
I was back in Arkansas one year, I slept through one! The next day they took me out to tour the damage. Holy Moly!
I know you are right. That is what scares me now. I simply SM
don't care about myself at all anymore. I have been lost in the process of just trying to keep afloat. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me.
I'm fascinated at what scares men.
The owner of the company I work for has confessed a fear of needles, and so has a male friend from work. The former goes to foreign countries where nobody speaks English and we don't have an embassy, where hoodlems may break in and steal his passport, yet he's afraid of mere needles. Bear in mind he has a whole greenhouse full of needle-bearing plants and also areas of garden loaded with them. You can't go near these agaves and yuccas without becoming a human pincushion, so how is that different than needles? Then my friend at work seems to love pain - loves to play paintball - apparently it hurts to get shot - and do other physical activities that cause pain. He's not afraid of pain, but is afraid of needles. What gives? I'm afraid of spiders, but not snakes. Give me a shot and I don't even stop talking or acknowledge it. But throw a ball at me and I duck in fear. Send me out on the streets without my navigation system and I'm a wreck.
it doesn't just scare you it scares the person you're in bed with too!!!
My boyfriend had these episodes where he would be falling asleep and then get real tense and start breathing heavy and fast... and i'd try to wake him... and it would take minutes. okay probably seconds... but it felt like forever.
then he would say that he was trying to open his eyes and speak, but couldn't, and describes what you are describing, with a few differences. I looked it up and found sleep paralysis. It sounds very much like this...
it only happens every once in awhile to him, but I sure get so scared when it happens. sounds silly, but it is freaky to see him tense up and know something is happening that i can't stop!!
