    Parents: I don't understand

    Really? THis is asinine and has been complelty blown out of proportion. Enjoy raising your perfect children. I'll just enjoy mine.

    Parents: I don't understand

    Walk meaning she's not a stroller or cart. We go to the one in Levittown so if you ever see a chubby, blonde girl walking she's with me. :)

    Parents: I don't understand

    I think your taking my post way too seriously. She's 3. She likes going to the store with me. I can handle her just fine when it comes to toys and what not. I don't know where that even came from. Taking her to the store at 10 am on a weekday and letting her walk is not the crime of the...

    Come on people.....

    I don't take it personally because p, frankly, none of you could exsist. The poster from the UK could be some random girl that lives on LI, and is just pretending to be someone else. I've seem it happen here and on other boards. It probably doesn't happen that often, but once burned...

    Parents: I don't understand

    I let my 3 year old run around Target. She yells and laughs and has a good time. Is that unacceptable behavior? IMO, no. My Girls can be a bit loud in restaurants, but we take them to casual family friendly dining establishments. We're there for an hour and a half tops. We try to keep them...

    Now I Understand Why Some Disney Rookies Don't Enjoy Their Initial Visit

    Honestly, it can be done. My sister decided to go on a Monday and left on a Friday. They had a great time. It wasn't planned down to the minute, they got whatever reservations they got.

    Extreme Couponing --- AGAIN!

    Ugh. Yes, I've seen both episodes. The maxi pads?? Really?!? You're a boy, you don't need them at all. And the girl stocking up on diapers was a nutter. She was just crazy. It made no sense to me. We had maybe one or 2 boxes of diapers before each kid was born, but at least I was...

    If you see something, say something. Have you ever?

    Just curious. I have. At LGA on our way to Disney, we were going through security. There was an orange duffle/suitcase with no one around it. I told the person at the rope, she said thank you and that she would notify her supervisor. Turns out it was someone's bag, but still. I doubt i...

    Extreme Couponing --- AGAIN!

    IMO, regarding the people on the show specifically, they are hoarders! Who needs 890000 packets of dish detergent. I don't think they ever use any of the items in their precious "stockpiles". For fear they will run out of franks red hot. (can you really put that s$$t on everything). Most...

    52 Week Savings Challenge

    I plan on using it for Christmas shopping. We have a wedding in November that will eat up some cash, so it'll be nice to have that money for Christmas. I think I'm at about $100. I write it down on my calendar to remind myself to put the money in the envelope.

    What are the most memorable "scenes" of your life?

    Watching my girls reactions to seeing the castle for the first time. Tmi warning: waking up basically in a pool of blood while I was pregnant with my first. So many thoughts ran through my head. Thankfully, she is a happy, healthy 5 year old. But I'll never forget that moment

    Attire - Mother of the Groom

    The moms choose what colors looked best on them. They didn't match each other or the bp. I wasn't concerned with that at all.

    Attire - Mother of the Groom

    My mom wore a gorgeous beaded olive green/gold gown. My mil wore a purple gown. They never discussed with each other what they were wearing. Neither matched the bridal party and that was the way I wanted it.

    Great Movie Ride -- scary for kids?

    My girls are younger, 5 and 2, but they were scared of it. They looked down the whole time. We are going back in November and we won't take them on it again.

    How strict are you?

    I try to go with the flow. My girls are both very independent and I let them do whatever they want to do. Yes, i draw the line at cookies for breakfast or ice cream for lunch. But they dress themselves and so long as its weather appropriate and clean, I don't care. We do have a bedtime...

    Why don't you make kids eat?

    Why is it any of your business what my kids eat? Do I wish my kids ate more things? Yes, but I deal for now. What's wrong with being picky?

    Wedding dresses - storage & kids

    It's preserved. But its in my parents basement. I would never expect either girl to wear it. I've thought about selling it, but I don't want to do that, either. It's just going to sit there for now.

    I think it's sad....

    We have no idea how Walt would feel about all this. Change is good. Should Disney make its own coffee and everything else? I mean it's Starbucks. Just coffee. Why is this a big deal? And isn't the first rule of business not to invest your own money. Should the disneys remove all...

    How to prepare kids for relatives with differing lifestyles/values OP POSTS #94

    You know, it hasn't really come up. If they are at my moms, sister or mil's I tell them to listen to them. Follow their rules in their house. If my oldest asks me a question, I answer as honestly as I can. She knows things are different everywhere and doesn't expect everywhere to be like...
