DDA Chapter 4

[tink2020]

Oh Denise, it sounds like you definitely did the right thing! What rotten children!

 

[my3princes]

Our next door neighbors who we ADORED and their 2 DD's (oldest was the kids very good friend) moved to Orlando at the beginning of Dec. New people moved in, and there is just something very off with them. They have a DD5th grade, DD3rd grade, and DS4. The kids just run all over with no supervision, the DS hit Rees in the head 1st day with a screwdriver and hit my neighbors DS in the head with a wood bat last week... the kids aren't supervised... the DD3rd grade runs all over the neighborhood by herself, oldest DD wants to play with BK (there is a 5-6 year age difference), middle DD is always inside in trouble... parents never apologize for behavior or seem concerned... are just off... none of us are real comfortable with them... gut says beware... middle DD is always telling BK stuff that's not true to make her believe it (like there's a killer bunny on Webkinz that will kill all her animals)

So, Monday BK gets off the bus and says that DD3rd wants her Beagle Webkinz and can she give it to her. I say no, and tell them both that. Then today, BK comes home and says she really wanted it and asked for BK's password so she could earn her money... go check and all of BK's money is gone out of her Webkinz acct and she hasn't been on it since last weekend and had tons of $$ left... I go next door with BK and confront the neighbor and daughter. Neighbor won't even consider the fact. I say I'm not comfortable with the things she's been telling BK either, that the age difference isn't appropriate for them to be playing together, and that they aren't allowed to play anymore. Mom just shrugs and shuts the door. Both my other neighbors already weren't allowing them to play with their kids. I'm just upset as I've never had a bad relationship with the neighbors. I know I did the right thing, but I'm really upset. BK is too young to get it and just keeps saying she loves her and wants to be her friend. They sit next to each other on the bus, so I've emailed a request that BK be moved on Tuesday.

We had a family with 5 girls move in across the street a few years ago. There were age matches with all of our kids and they were even in the same classes. We quickly realized that they were not nice kids. They were in trouble most of the time and the parents were very uninvolved. The good news is that they only stayed less than a year then moved on. I think they moved so often that the kids acted out just for attention as they had no idea how to make and keep real friends. I'm sorry that BK had her webkinz money taken. Did she buy things and mail them to her webkinz or are the items in BKs account? I guess this may be a good lesson for the kids in the long run. I think my kids will be hearing this story when they come in.

Denise that just stinks,

So that's what she did? We were trying to figure out how she could spend the $$ and BK not have new items??? I have contacted webkinz support to see if they can tell me the dates that the $$ was spent. BK adopted a new pet on 2/9, hasn't played since then, and all the $1500 is gone!

Denise, I am sorry! I hope Webkinz support can do something for you!

when they moved in they said they didn't have any friends in their last neighborhood because they didn't party like the rest of the neighborhood... now I'm guessing another reason...

What happened?

Don't worry it was nothing Disney or Poly did. My DH was awful on that trip. I kept begging him to open his eyes so he could see the children having a good time.

Then I kept begging him to stay in the room if he didn't feel well but he wouldn't do that. He did have an undiagnosed thyroid problem but he also didn't want to be there and made sure everyone around him was miserable. Even when his eyes were open he had a frown on his face.

He knew that our friend who went with us was going to babysit the kids one night so we could go out to dinner. Our 21st anniversary was 9/22 and we went to Disney in early October. I even bought a special outfit and jewlery. Joe was the one who told me I looked nice-DH didn't say a word. Then when the waiter brought out the cake I ordered for us he said "I hear you're celebrating something special tonight." DH-"no". waiter-"an anniversary maybe?" DH-"that was nearly a month ago". Then DH told the waiter to pack it up-he didn't want any.

After we got home one of the neighbors asked DH if he was OK. That was what finally made DH go to the doctor. The next trip we went with our same friend and her DH. I thought DH might like another guy along. We had a nice trip-but Emma got sick. On the last day of that trip we just had to take Emma to MK so she could have that as a memory instead of being sick in the room. When we got to MK we realized Joe was sick. DH took Emma on the Pooh ride while I stayed with Joe. When we met up again DH said to me "you should have seen her on that ride-she LOVED it." He had finally "gotten" it. Only took 4 trips!

Last year I think DH actually had a good time. And there are lots of pictures of him smiling.

I really love the Polynesian but it just isn't DH's thing. He liked POFQ & POR much better. I would still stay at the Polynesian if it wasn't so expensive but I'm happy enough at the moderates and when I go with just 1 child Pop is perfect for us. I really liked CL at CR but DH wouldn't like that hotel at all. I hope he's OK at ASMu. I think he will be.

Not much longer, you impatient ladies!

I emailed you a coupon for Carter's.

When I opened my account yesterday I was given $2000. She must have added herself to BK's friends list then sent a package to herself. I wonder if you can check sent messages?

Denise,

Go with your gut instinct. There is no need to be upset. You have to be comfortable with who your kids play with and no one else has any say on that.

If all of the neighbors keep their kids away, sooner or later the parents will get the message. (sounds like they might not) Maybe they will move since everyone would be avoiding them!!!!

Don't worry it was nothing Disney or Poly did. My DH was awful on that trip. I kept begging him to open his eyes so he could see the children having a good time.

I could see how that would not be a trip you'd want to remember.

I'm glad that circumstances provided him the opportunity to start seeing the magic!

I agree. Denise, that is just amazing, horrifying, frustrating, etc., etc. I'd keep your babies away from that family! Sad that you have to feel that way about your neighbors, particularly when those before them were such good friends.

I'm so sorry! You did the right thing. Poor BK!

Are you trying to bribe me?! No, seriously -- thanks so much!

Kyle did tell his mother. UGH! Once I get over being mad at him , maybe we'll start telling others since we're clearly past processing it ourselves! When that happens, you all will be the first to know!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Elizabeth you evil, evil woman.























I took that code and went and ordered some pins.

 

[Tammi67]

Somebody just posted that they called and got $700 knocked off their package without a code. The CM just put her on hold and came back and said she is a "special guest", whatever THAT means.

I am special, too! For the bargain price of RACK RATE I get to stay 3 nights AKL CL!

I ordered the DVD but haven't gotten anything (including the DVD!). I don't think those dates will help us, either. We need a code that starts before Aug. 10. I do have the 15% AAA discount on our pool view room, but the CL is still at rack.

Your mailman is probably enjoying a vacation with your code! He probably planned it after watching your dvd too!

 

[Tammi67]

I just called AGAIN to check for a discount and I have nothing. She looked for a AAA discount on my CL days (which I already knew wasn't there) and then I asked her if there were any other discounts available of any kind. Nope.

I'm pretty sure the 20% off that comes with the DVD doesn't start until 8/10, and we have the 30% Bounce Back for those days.

I just got an e-mail from DS's Science teacher. I noticed yesterday that he has 2 "zero" grades listed and they are REALLY hurting his overall grade! Those 2 things dropped him from an A to a C. One was the zero from the paper he forgot to turn in, and one is a brand NEW zero on another paper he says he completed. I had him look for it in his folder and it wasn't in there. The teacher said she did give him credit for his first paper, and she said she will look for the other missing one and talk to him about it on Monday. I am pleased with that response.

Who has a Disney Visa? Have you ever had any weird problems with them? A bunch of folks on the Budget Board (who all have flawless credit, of course) are reporting all sorts of horrible things. Our card is still pretty new, and I just paid it off so if they do something bizarre with the APR it won't matter. Our first 6 months were 0%, and I knew that was ending so I didn't want to have a balance on it. But now even if I am going to pay it off every month I am kind of nervous about using it! Which is silly, but those Budget folks are making me paranoid!

I use my DV daily (no cash transactions for me) and haven't ever had a problem. I love paying for the DDP with my DV pts. What are they saying the problem is?

 

[Tammi67]

A lady is claiming that her LOCKED IN rate of 3.9% on a balance transfer has gone up to 24% without her being late or over the limit. That sounds completely wrong to me - those balance transfer checks are absolute unless you violate the terms! BUT if it is true then I am really not sure I want to use that card for anything!

Mine gets paid off monthly so I never have to worry about interest.

 

[Tammi67]

See, now look at Elin exuding patience! Maybe I'll tell her first.....

Sounds like a tough situation. I would hate to have neighbors that I just wasn't comfortable with. I hope you can get something worked out. Just keep on top of BK to know what is going on with that other girl! Good luck.

I'm having a nice, quiet evening all to myself. Aaaahhhhh............


Well, me and you all............if anyone is around tonight.
