Yes, they do thrive!! I think we work harder (sm)

Posted By: No Name on 2007-07-08
In Reply to: Yeah, and it's always the ever-so-resentful posters who can't STAND sm - Me

Than any other group of parents - we do it all and we bust our butts to make it work because we need the job and we love our kids. I have done this since before my kids were born (10 years) and took another job for a while away from home. My kids were miserable being shuffled around all the time. My daughter even thought up my resignation letter for me, exactly what I should say, "I'm sorry, you people are all really nice, and I appreciate the job, but I'm not spending enough time with my kids, so I really need to work at home again." How do you like that??

Much harder with women with children who work
outside the home. This is a piece of cake compared to mothers who not only have to get their children ready for school and/or nursery and then get them there. I have done both, much easier this way.
Husband for sale - harder to work with him home than the grandkids. (sm)

He is cleaning our furnace and muttering, muttering, hollering where is this, I bet I have got up and went in there 4 times this morning to just have him mutter never mind I found it. 


You gotta love them, but he of all people should know my money comes from my butt being in that chair. 


I don't thrive on drama at all...sm
There is nothing more I would love than to be left alone and not have to see or speak to him ever again. I am living on his property. He has a big barn on it. He comes and sits out there at that barn near every day. If I walk out in the yard to feed my dogs --- here he comes. I cannot avoid him. I have told him to go away. I have been ugly, rude, and just downright said don't come back to my house. I live on his property. What can I do? Yes I can move. That would cost a lot of money though. Money I don't have. I live in a mobile home and sure it can be moved but that costs a lot of money and you have to pay to have all the plumbing and air conditioning hooked back up plus the actual costs of pulling it. I have 2 dogs I do not let roam free. I have to have my fencing moved and everything. I would go through the hassle gladly to get away. But I don't have thousands lying around to do it. I keep my doors locked and don't answer them when he knocks but you know he will sit and wait for you to go somewhere and meet you outside. I can move on my mother's property and we are probably gonna have to just get the money somewhere and do it. We have looked to see if we could find an acre of land for sale to buy but there is no small tracts of land around here for sale.
The sheriff and my dad are friends so that poses a problem. He doesn't believe my dad is like this. Daddy can hide his instability when he wants to. I am going to talk with my husband and tell him somehow we have to move. We have to.
I'd rather ID's were made harder to get so my next
:/
It would be much harder for them to adapt. - sm
Would probably suffer at least a few falls when they jump up onto something thinking their claws will hold them, and whoops - no claws. The little declawed girl I'd adopted from a rescue had been declawed by the original owner, and had developed a very specialized way of jumping up onto things like tables, bookshelves, etc. First of all, she had the ability to jump about 6 feet, STRAIGHT UP. None of my other cats could ever do that. And her landings were almost surgically precise, almost as if she were landing on a bed of nails. But then again, considering how sensitive here little paws were, that's probably not too far from the truth.
To me it always seems to be harder on the boys (sm)
My husband are like that - oil and water for sure. We just can hardly stand to live together anymore. We have been trying to stay together for the kids for years.

How did affect you and your sister?? Would it have been better if they had stayed together or was it just a bad situation either way? I feel like I am choosing the lesser of the evils.
why is it so much harder these days?
My grandmother raised four children during the depression. She and my grandfather both worked out of the home. In fact, so did my mom and uncle, the two eldest children. And their story was not unlike many other families. The fact is, MOST generations before the post WW II era had parents and children working. It was the fact of a very hard life. So how is it that my grandparents were able to raise the so-called Greatest Generation? By not indulging children. They didn't have time for it. And everyone was on the same page, so the village could indeed raise the children. Everyone was held to the same high standard of social behavior, and no parent got bent out of shape if someone else contributed to the child's discipline. And yes, of course, times were not so wonderful back then either. There were plenty of problems.

It is not ok for children/teens to be out of control or to express their rude opinions without a care how it will be received, just as it is not ok for adults to do so. Freedom of speech has nothing at all to do with rudeness. Freedom of speech in the constitution guarantees us the right to put forth opinions and ideas for change without fear of having the King or government lop off our heads. It doesn't mean you can go around publicly calling people names.
I really do not look forward to the state of affairs in another 20 years when the I-I generation (Indulged and Irresponsible) has to step up to the plate.
but it's harder to dose
I think if there were a pill, I might feel differently, but I am against people smoking pot in the name of medicine. There are other drugs to combat nausea and such, without the high. I really think it's just a big excuse for people to get high and that is what I am against. I can tell that the majority here disacrees with me and that's okay, too, but I figured that instead of a bunch of one sided posts, perhaps the OP would like to hear from someone on the other side. Maybe not...
to me, Absolutely Everything in life is harder
        
The ones I knew had it harder, no coddling (sm)
My grandmother worked her butt off, and took care of the kids and her husband was a jerk (my mother's stepfather). Her husband and love of her life had died in WWII and she had remarried. She should have left the SOB she married but in that day and age she already had a strike against her from being remarried and no way in heck would she have been able to make enough money to support her four children. She had a LOT of responsibility. A lot of us still live that way now. You're just lucky :)
I find it to be harder working from home with children who are not in school..
I have a 2 year old home with me all day and believe me it would be much easier to take her to day care and get my work done...
Love Barnies, too, but harder to find one now that S'bucks bought up so many of them. nm

Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
You dont work for them, you work for YOU. If you

I TRIED to work, WANTED to work, but
So now I have to scramble for the rest of the week, trying to catch up on what I didn't do today. And of course, working today was in hopes of catching up on whatI didn't do last week. This job is a never-ending hamster-wheel of lunacy.
Everyone has to work once in a while!
Normally in this industry, you are paid an incentive to work "holidays".  When I was in-house, I was offered a day off other than the holiday I worked, which was great.  I was also offered to only work a 4 hour day, in-house.  At home, you should also be given an incentive for those holidays!  Some people think that Martin Luther King Day is more important than Christmas because they may celebrate Kwanzaa.  Some people feel that April Fool's Day is important, so they are willing to work Easter.  It goes on and on...  There will be times in your life when you have to make a choice, "one day off" or a career in the "medical field".  I would have to agree that we are important especially on those holidays. For example, most hospitals and emergent care units are staffed with one doctor, so it should really be only STATs you are typing.  It is hard to "choose" when you want to be "sick".  Hence, our salary!!!!!!!  Most people will work all kinds of crazy schedules to accomodate their own lives, so why be so uptight about working Christmas because your employer requires coverage.  On the other hand, this should be rotated amongst a pool of typists.  I worked with a lady that would always volunteer for Thanksgiving (she had no family), so she could have Christmas off just to make us all mad!  She'd say "well, I've worked the last 10 Thanksgivings, so I deserve Christmas off!  It was so sad!  Hmmmpphh!  :)  Good luck!  Have a nice holiday (no matter how you spend it)! 
He did see my dog and work him up sm
and everything came back negative. I'm going to push him more on Tuesday when I call him. I like our vet a lot-have been using him for years with all of my dogs and so far he hasn't steered me wrong. I'm just not sure I want to wait much longer on getting him some medication. The poor little guy suffers so and it just scares the heck out of us. I mean, there isn't anything we can do but hold him and ride it out and just be there when he comes out of it. I just haven't had to deal with anything like this before.
Nah, I do it, too, the more I work, the more I do it.
on vacation, notsomuch!
Does this work?
testing
Both will work actually.
For people who want to learn about something, anything, Google is a great tool.  If you want to get into semantics about it though, personally I have real-life, first-hand experience with these critters called OTTBs.  That stands for off-track thoroughbreds.  They live until their late 20's and sometimes into their 30's and that is rarely taken into consideration by the racing industry, who I feel should kick in a little cash at birth, for every single horse they register with Jockey Club, to ensure that these animals can be cared for, for the rest of their lives.  Oh wait...that would put a crimp in the breeders bottom line though, wouldn't it.
I used to work
with someone who would say the quirkiest things.  got on my nerves. 
And I used to work with someone who had
a stick up their rectum and made everyone's lives mundane.
No, not every day and get this- I only work
part-time. She is always available when I want her to come over, can stay the night if I am working later, whenever I want her. You are probably going to start throwing rocks but my pay to her is anywhere from 50-75 dollars a day, depending on what she does, any extra things I have her do like cleaning the closets, putting up seasonal clothes, other than the regular clothes washing and the house cleaning (she does not iron on a regular basis but if I need something special, she would do that)- she used to cook for us but my hubby does that now. I DO NOT want to quit even my part time position- heck my husband might think I had the time to do housework too and ugh!!
Never during work...
I don't get that. They could buy a lot more if they only shopped on the off hours ;)
That might work if
He would actually go. I can only do so much to make him go. He is the most stubborn man in the world!!
It might work
to cover the parts of the couch they are scratching because cats tend to return to the same spot. If you cover the couch completely, they may go under the cover unless it's secured. If you prefer the cats stay completely off the couch, you could use Scat Mats. They give a little shock from a battery when touched.

Good luck. I've declawed cats before to save the furniture, and they never have the same muscle strength in their upper body after they lose the claws. I've switched to dogs because dogs listen, LOL.
I do work for PS and this is the one - sm
operation she does not like doing, says it leaves horrible scars. She does them but shows many before/after pics and actually has the patient talk to others that have had it done before she will do it for them. They go into it with their eyes wide open. So if you do get it re-done be prepared (that is if a Dr. will re-do you anyway).
How did that work
with insurance? I have one in my left armpit that really bugs me because it is so visible when I wear sleevless tops. My doctor told me that insurance would not cover removing it because it would be cosmetic purposes.
They do work, but -
You have to keep replacing them when their nails grow, or sometimes they just come off. I have all mine trained now not to touch the furniture. In fact, in the 25 years I have had cats I have never had a problem with my furniture being ruined (and I even have leather). I have scratching pads (both upright and the ones in the track ball cirle) that I keep supplied with fresh catnip that I grow myself. The cats LOVE it! They want to show me they are using the designated scratching areas because I always praise them when they do. Now, you need to put them in high traffic areas, not squirreled away some place your cats never go. Put them near the furniture, covered with fresh catnip. Then slowly transition the posts to another location, but put it some place the cats can easily get to. I bet it will work. Best of luck to you! :-)
that might work..
I do dearly love this cat and would rather move some place without carpet than get rid of him. The vet says that Maine Coon cats are supposed to be the easiest cat to train, so maybe it would be a matter of putting him in the crate at night until he got used to not having the food?
If you don’t work for MQ
then you are not allowed to post there. I see the posts coming in and I see no harm in asking that question.
Can you work in those?
NM
where do you work or are you an IC

 I am just asking because its the opposite for me.  Congratulations though.  That is an accomplishment.


I wish that would work, but
my bank is merging with another bank this week, and they have gotten really strict about not crediting anything to your account after 2 p.m., even through the ATM. Until this week, I could make a deposit through the ATM until 8 p.m. and it was posted the same day. I did a "test" deposit this past Monday after 2 to see if I could trick the account, but it didn't work. I hate bank mergers.

I need overdraft, but I can't do anything about it today. All the offices were closed by the time I realized I was one penny short.

Thanks for the advice and keep the fingers and toes and anything else you can crossed!
Maybe they were getting work done
in the house and moved furniture out for that. Something like getting floors refinished. I worked with a girl who burned down her boyfriend's house because she locked it up tightly after they were working on it. The fumes filled the house and ignited from water heater or something. Besides I think insurance company would notice if there was no burnt furniture in the house.
I used to go to work at 5 but now
in my older years sleep until I wake, part timer, work 12-8 and absolutely love it, so much more energy than when I had to beat the keys 24/7.
Well, that might work for others however
I have the bird feeder sitting in front of my window where I work so I (as well as the furkids) can watch the birds- the squirrels get in a bush next to the feeder and make a flying leap. They don’t fool with going from the bottom up. By the way I feed all animals, be they birds or squirrels so doesnt really matter to me who is eating at what time.
Not sure if this will work -
Slide show of Cedric that DH made.
Maybe, just maybe, this would work -
Maybe you can embarrass them into calling first. Keep your doors locked, including the garage. Next time they show up unexpectedly, you and your husband hurriedly take off all your clothes and put on a robe, mess up your hair and answer the door like that. Then say, oh, sorry, we were just in the middle of something, now is not a good time. Just might work.........
I'm sorry your work is low
Hope it picks up. I'm loving today. All five of my doctors are out today so no work, but I still get paid to do nothing all day.
Don't know if this will work or not.....

This will never work out this way-
that being your husband not backing you in what you need. I had g'children living with us for awhile and I told my husband (his g'children actually) then that even though we were not the parents, we had to work together as a unit because if not the child(ren) know the weaknesses and they will use them to get their way. Getting rid of my problem probably would not be helpful to you- I had the older girl leave (she had other g'parents in the city) and eventually the other 2 left. What a headache and I know the feelings about being made out to be the wicked person in this situation. I have lived that.
No work for me
I was off yesterday and today. I'm actually off until next Wednesday. I hope in spite of working, everyone had a wonderful holiday.
Work, work, work. That's about it.
Pretty boring, huh?
work and
Applebee's tonight - Easter play tomorrow night. Would be going hiking but we have rain. . Also going to watch UK basketball this afternoon . . and if they win, again tonight. .
trying to work some also
this weekend.  take a break and take dogs for walk, maybe get a cup of java, and just relax later tonight :)
I think I work too much
:(
I work for the Q, too, though not for
long for the exact reason you mentioned - not making much money.  We're also building a house, signed our contract yesterday.  The price of lumbar may be down, but that must be about it.  It costs almost double to build a house than it did 10 years ago.  At any rate, I think you're right - he may be seeing it as rejection when you leave.  Try talking to him when he's not upset and let him know you're going to be his partner for life, so he may as well clue in on things now.
It has nothing to do with her work.
Her Myspace is a personal page that is meant for her friends not her kids or clients. I know plenty of people that work with children, and it really doesn't matter what they do outside of work...as long as they're not doing it in front of the kids or telling them/you about it. She should have her profile set to private though, and then there wouldn't even be a question as you wouldn't see them.
Well I now work outside, and our
weather has also been 100 in the shade for 6 days in a row. Unfortunately I can't stay in the shade. Thankfully I had the weekend off, but it was 100 or more degrees today. Apparently a cold front is coming through and it may only get to 98 tomorrow. Up until this it had been the perfect spring. I think I'm the only person wearing sunglasses, and even when I have them on I keep thinking I need sunglasses.
Work with me here
If I were to open up a little place that only serves hot dogs...........

1. What brands would you like to see on the menu..Kosher/non Kosher

2. What toppings

3. Would you limit the menu to only hot dogs or would you include brats..if so..what kind and toppings

4. Would you serve a bag of chips or an order of fries

5. Fountain drinks, or can/bottled drinks?
