Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

If they don't dump the kid to DSS they just dump it on their family. I know 2 ladies who are raising their grandkids. Their kids just "can't deal" so dumped & ran. I feel really bad for them - looking forward to an empty nest, retirement & travel and then bam... sorry! Have a baby...

Yep we see a lot of that here, it amazes me how many grandparents take care of their grandchildren!

Sounds like an episode of Super Nanny that I saw a few weeks ago. This lazy @$$ daughter lived with her parents and they took care of her 2 kids while she did whatever she wanted........

I think she may have been the first parent on that show that if I met her, I would punch her square in the face! She was so cocky it made me sick.

Good morning all!

Now that is really bad! I'd be curious to know what the Super Nanny thought of that!

Morning to you too! We have rain today, but it is supposed to change over to sunny & warmer this afternoon and through the weekend.

We're overcast right now but should be sunny later this morning with highs in the 50's.

Good Morning to everyone and hope you all have a great day!

OOOOh! She wanted to haul off and give her a slap too! The girl was a single mother and just wanted to go online and text all the time. Jo took her to a shelter for single mothers and their kids. Jo and the woman who worked at the shelter were trying to open her eyes and see how lucky she was that she had her parents to help her out- BUT the whole time the chick was either texting! (yes! While they were talking to her) or rolling her eyes!

What a skank, I would have hauled off and smacked her too!! I cannot believe that someone would be so absorbed in texting that they could not even pay attention to what is happening around them for their own good! But I must admit that I've seen tons of people out there doing the same thing. Every once in a while my DSis will post pics of her friends (of course from her cell) and they are all sitting around a restaurant table texting with other people. It just looks so stupid! And when I'm with her she can't stop playing with it either!!

Oy!

I am wondering how many grandparents brought this on themselves by nagging their children for grandchildren until their children just gave in and had children they knew they didn't want.

Wow- now that's a major, "Be careful what you wish for............."

Very true... although in both these cases the kids (young ladies really) just got knocked up by their boyfriends & there ya go... Too busy still having a life, parting w/their friends & doing all the things 20-somethings do to raise their own kid.

You know I wanted to post something like that but wasn't sure how to put it, well put SanFran! That could definitely be the case, or........how they brought their kids up and what type of values, etc. they did or did not teach them.

[HockeyKat]

Can't wait to meet you guys tomorrow!!


My fun plans include tailgating for a hockey game tonight (60 and sunny here), and then meeting Cheryl and hubby tomorrow.

Also, I got a new phone!! So excited. It's Sprint's version of the Droid. Happy happy and I got a great deal (2 free phones, $80 bill credit, 1500 shared min and unlimited data/text for 2 phones for $97/mo). Yay for Sam's Club!

Hey Kat - We are here!!! What a long day -- DC traffic was brutal!

Quick cocktail in the lobby bar while we wind down & get ready to turn in.
DH liked the idea of tailgating hockey. We can't do that at home.

I'm loving it already. The trees are leafing out & you are well into spring. We had ice on the bird baths this morning

Now it just depends on where he gets offered a good job first. Is it wrong for me to hope none of the interviews back home result in an offer?!?

 

[HockeyKat]

It's not bad at all... then again, is it bad that I am hoping the same thing? I would love to have you both down here.

Actually, it's a little cold for us here, for this far into March.

Good luck to you and DH!!! Have fun meeting Kat!

Kat- you tailgate for the Hurricane games?

Cheryl- I was LOL when I read your comment about DC traffic

It is always a thorn in our side whenever we travel South. You have to get a jump on it and get through it very- VERY early in the morning. DC traffic is the ONLY reason I decided NEVER to drive to Disney again. We were fine going to Disney b/c we would leave NJ around 2am and skate right through DC, however, on the way home from Disney- that was another story. We always ended up smack dab in dead stop-DC-traffic. The last time I was almost in tears and that is when I vowed, never again

Have fun!

 

[HockeyKat]

Good luck to you and DH!!! Have fun meeting Kat!

Kat- you tailgate for the Hurricane games?

Absolutely!! They have lawn parties, t-shirt giveaways, and I would say a good 5K people show up at least an hour early and drink and party before the game. Esp in the fall and spring when it is nice out.

We have a tent, small grill, chairs, etc. Lots of fun!

Hi everyone!

I'm just joining this thread! My hubby and I are child-free by choice and love it! I am the Disney freak...he puts up with it.

I do have little ones in my family that I adore, though, and are being raised to be Disney fans as well! We took our first trip to Disney World (since I was 5 and my husband had only been to Disneyland when he was young), with his side of the family in May of 09 and are planning a Christmas-time trip for 2011!!! AND my other half and I might sneak in a few days alone sometime in the near future...

We are QUITE content being the fun Aunt TeeTa and Uncle Tim and spoiling all the little ones around and getting a good night's sleep EVERY night!!!

Happy to see there is a thread like this!!!

TARA!!!


We are an eclectic group of peeps with different views & likes but of course our connection is always Disney!! Jump into the conversations and post if you have any questions!


Speaking of posting, WOW has this place been quiet for a long time! Everyone must be enjoying the beautiful spring weather or hangin' FB! LMAO!!!

Not much happening here, been starting to clear a lot of my flower beds, and doing some indoor spring cleaning. We cleared out our home office and rearranged everything and cleared out the clutter. It is so empty it echos! And the weather has been beautiful here, very warm for end of March beginning April!! We are supposed to reach 76 today, woot woot!! DH and I decided we are going to hang out on the deck after work tonight and do some grilling for dinner. How can you not when it's sooooo beautiful!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

Welcome!!!!


Tammy~ I pop in every once and while to see if anyone is here.

Nothing much going on here either! Just working hard during the day and lurking all over the place at night to see if I can find any new info for our trip! Still waiting for TGM to post the 2nd part of Oct best days for the park info. I am so antsy to fill in the (many) blanks on my itinerary!

We are also getting things ready for Easter dinner- yes, I was the dummy who volunteered to have 20 people in my tiny house Sunday. I am so happy b/c it is supposed to be 79 on Sun so we can eat out on the porch!

Is anyone else doing anything for Sunday?
