"Did Pluto Just Give You A Lap Dance?" 10 days of Naughty & Nice!

[disneyaddicted]

So - I am looking for a new sister and a better Aunt for my child.
I would be honored if you would let me be your sister and an Aunt to your kids. And with me comes my sister Bo, she's crazy fun and super nuturing. You also get a chihuahua mix and a one eyed fat cat. sound good? where do I sign?

Accidents happen all the time but if they can be prevented in anyway then that is what gets me frusterated. Halloween + 3 teen boys = potential trouble that is a guarantee. No different than drinking + driving = trouble.

Are there times you are not going to get caught? Yes. Are there times you might not get into an accident and kill yourself or someone else? Yes.

Yet the reality is there is a huge chance that those combinations will lead to something bad so why risk it if there is another alternative.

I will tell you why in this case.

Because people cannot tell there kids no. Wait. Or later. Kids whine, adults cave and decesions are made that will never be altered.

I always fear kidnappers, I'm always afraid that someone will nab one or both of mine. But I am one of those parents that have a hard time saying no. For the most part I can say no, but I let them argue with me alot and plead their case. I just recently allowed Reese to go to an all night party because her brother was going to be there and I thought it would be safe, I even called the mother of the girl who was having the party and she assured me that they would be safe and supervised. (my first mistake was trusting a woman who I had never met personally) Well the lady lied, she left to go to a party of her own, and the girl throwing the party kicked Reese out of her house (jealousy is an ugly thing) Jim left with Reese and so did about 20 of their friends, but when I found out, I was livid with that woman thinking anything could have happened to my kids because she left them unsupervised. But really I am more angry at myself, I should have never let them go in the first place. I regreted my decision the minute I said yes. I'm still kicking myself over this.

OMGosh, my mom and your mom sound alike. My mom has never dated since my father died in 1980 when I was 9 (I am 38 as well). I just don't understand why they would put up with so much abuse from their own children. My brother is the baby of the family and the only boy and acts just like my father did towards my mother. Very very sad.

Oh sweetie - sorry about your Dad and at the same time sorry he did not leave a good example for your brother. I get it about your Mom.

Did you order Ketchup at WCC?? We had 13 or 14 bottles delivered to our table when the girls asked for kecthup. It was funny and they got a kick out of it. It was a first for us.

We did and it was a hoot. There wasa huge cheerleading squad by us and they spent most of their time makng googly eyes at Treyner with little sister's at Baylor! Carsyn kept throwing daggers at them and mimmicking their laughs and giggles so I spent most of my time laughing at them!

Hey - come for the aprty in 2 years to celebrate our 40th!

I'm totally down with that! I'm sure I could make it, but not sure if John will be down, hubby is a lot of fun but doesn't do well with crowds.

Is he going with you to WDW?
We'll see, I've got a year and half or so to get him use to the idea.
I think it would be fun to make are way around Epcot getting to sample all the different drinks....I've never heard of the Monorail crawl. Hmmm sounds intriguing.
Spend a night traveling around the resorts on the monorail and enjoy the bars/atmosphere at each one!
I too have great kids, and I don't just say that because their my kids, were told all the time how great our kids are, one of them because he has a heart the size of Texas <so I can't take credit there>and another because she received direction...on the back of her @ss....and because of it, she became a wonderful little young lady

When Carsyn uses the, "It's not fair, Treyner or Baylor didn't have that consequence...." speil, I usually inform her that being fair is treating each child different since they are each unique and no action any of them takes is exactly like the other one did.
WCC, hmmmmm I'm making my list of ADR's as we speak and I'm having a time with it. I don't remember you mentioning if the main course was any good? What did you think of WCC for food?

Liked it a lot - decent BBQ - very fun place to try so I say yes!

Hi Dawn! New reader here!
Welcome!!!!
I love your TR. I just read all 40 pages of it! You are so funny!! You guys are such a strong and loving family admired by many I'm sure. I am so sorry about everything you had to go through with Baylor. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. It's good to know everything seems to be getting better now though.
When did you start? You have been busy!
Also I just have to say I am the same age as Treyner and still talk to my mom everyday, although I am a girl so maybe it's a little different? But I also talked my mom into a "celebrate me coming home from college for the summer" trip 4 days after I get home in May, and I can see many more of those in our future so there's hope Treyner will want to continue going to Disney too! I'm sure you can't wait until Thanksgiving to see him. I know I'm counting down the days until I see my family!

I can't get him to write here to save my soul but maybe someday Carsyn will. He is not comming home at Thanksgiving because we need to send him to SC to look at Anderson College so I have to wait till Christmas.

He is excited about Disney in Dec and he loves being there so I don't worry about that part too much. I worry about the girls...and Treyner and Treyner worrying about the girls and not his grades!

So - I am looking for a new sister and a better Aunt for my child.
Just found out a few years ago my GF was Jewish so my sis Laura and I are looking at celebrating both Holidays this year for presents sake at the very least...how do you like me now?


I was livid with that woman thinking anything could have happened to my kids because she left them unsupervised. But really I am more angry at myself, I should have never let them go in the first place. I regreted my decision the minute I said yes. I'm still kicking myself over this.

Don't beat yourself up and don't think my kids don't get away with things from time to time because they totally do. The situation with the Mom is exactly the situation I had with Baylor's burn and thus the guilt. Trusted someone I did not know after talking to them versus my gut so I completely get the self @ss kicking. It's gonna happen - we as parents make a bazillion mistakes - it's a matter of learning from them - that's all.

OH...OH!!! I went to Clemson (less than 30 minutes from Anderson.) I would love to see y'all coming through to get to SC, and he could always come here (2 1/2 hours away) if he couldn't get to MN.

I'm sure he doesn't have time for girls!
My DBF plays D1 soccer and he has no time. All he does is eat, sleep and play soccer. He's lucky if he goes to class. And that's not because he doesn't want to, he is just so tired all the time! I do not know how he does it. But he loves it.
I hope everything works out for Treyner. I'm sure he'll find a school he loves and a great team to play on. That's really what makes it. I don't think my DBF would play he didn't love his coach and teammates. And the scholarship helps a little

That makes me so mad...and I don't even have a teenager to worry about yet!! I pretty much am still the teenager and it bothers me! I hate when parents lie to other parents for their kids!! Do they think it makes them cool or something? It's just bad news waiting to happen. The parents are obviously okay with their parents walking all over them, and the truth is that the parents who LIE to other parents are often the ones like the ones Dawn saw at FOTLK and Plato's Closet.

I have a friend who apparently was that mom who lied to all the other parents when they were in high school. (I didn't know her then.) But she has a son who is in middle school and she lies for all his friends as well and lets them all do weed and just has no control over him. I have seen this little 12 year old verbally abuse his mom, screaming and cussing her out. I know you would've gotten into it, Dawn! I should've...the mom and the kid were going at it pretty bad. Like you said that your kids would never even try to hit you, I'm sure they wouldn't talk to you like that either! I wish that some parents weren't scared of disciplining their children. It really is so bad for everyone. The parent of the year award will never go to someone who lets their children walk all over them...those parents get doormats of the year awards.

And now to your update!!

WCC looks so good!! I'm so disappointed, I had an adr there and skipped it! Your review makes me wish I hadn't!! It looks so good!! I think its so fun that all the girls are all googly over your boys and Carsyn just makes fun of them! That's so cute.

Treyner and his assistant rotfl are hilarious with their Lincoln Logs!! I could see him not letting the other kids play!! Landon would be perfect for that now, since he just loves to watch the big kids play and hand him stuff!! Does he need another assistant? Landon was looking for a day job, so he can afford all he toys!!

 

[Zookeeperof4]

Argh! We get there on the 18th and leave the 23rd. Too bad we will miss each other!

UGH you suck..LOL..we leave on the 4th.....miss oyu. I was like oo ooo maybe I will star in one of her postings..

 

[Dizneydawn]

OH...OH!!! I went to Clemson (less than 30 minutes from Anderson.) I would love to see y'all coming through to get to SC, and he could always come here (2 1/2 hours away) if he couldn't get to MN.

He loves some home cooking and he is genuinely a nice kid to be around so he would love that!

I'm sure he doesn't have time for girls!
My DBF plays D1 soccer and he has no time. All he does is eat, sleep and play soccer. He's lucky if he goes to class. And that's not because he doesn't want to, he is just so tired all the time! I do not know how he does it. But he loves it.

What position does he play and at what school - and am I understanding it is Disney Boyfriend or is it Disney Best Friend?

I hope everything works out for Treyner. I'm sure he'll find a school he loves and a great team to play on. That's really what makes it. I don't think my DBF would play he didn't love his coach and teammates. And the scholarship helps a little

Money is where he will follow but he hates the interim coach and he is set to leave and happy about that choice.

My Mom enabled my sister to some extent like that in HS as well and thus we have a pain at 29 years old.
And now to your update!!

She is really in a great mood lately and we are having a lot of fun together!

Treyner adores kids - so he would hire Landon in an instant!

UGH you suck..LOL..we leave on the 4th.....miss oyu. I was like oo ooo maybe I will star in one of her postings..

Hey - like I told Kelly in the new PTR - take some pics of people with Tampons and you will have your spot here! No pressure!



I will be back later with Day 7 - Hollywood Studios/Celebration and the lights! Some of my favorite pics are on these days so stay tuned!

 

[njprincess601]

He's actually my ex-boyfriend. I just realized I forgot the ex part the first time. Opps. He plays defense and midfield when needed at Villanova University in PA.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I was sitting here with tears in my eyes as you described that poor child at the show who was being ignored and shushed by his parents while his princess sister got all of the attentin. I'm glad you said something to the mother. Good for you! A lot of people would not say anything at all, but you are a breath of fresh air, a wake up call they probably needed.

Now, on to that jerk who was cussing at his kids. WOW! I can just imagine a rage so fierce that you blacked out and didn't even know that you were about to kill that man until you were right up on him. Amazing. You showed true courage and didn't back down and stood up for two children. Bless you, honey! You are my HERO!

Loved the update on WCC. I love Wilderness, especially at Christmas. So beautiful!!! And those goofy faces of your children - reminds me of my son. Every time I point a camera at him, he sticks his tongue out at me!

 

[Pollito916]

The stories about the bad parents made me so mad at the parents and so sad for the kids and so proud of you for having the guts to stand up to them. I was so happy to read that the mother at Plato's Closet went to a women's shelter. I hope her and her kids are doing better without that loser.

It sounds like you guys had a great time at WCC! at Treynor and the Lincoln Logs!

Ooh, and can I come to the birthday bash in WDW? I turn 30 in 2 years!

That is awesome! Where he plays - not the break up part. Unless you wanted it - then that is okay too. I honestly do think it is too hard to be in sports at this level and give enough time to a relationship. Treyner told his ex Carly that soccer was his wife for the next 4 years.

It takes a special person to be secure enough to be in a relationship when you are not his/her number one everything.

Or incredibly lucky he did not kick my hind end! When I called Dan to tell him about it, I was shaking, visibly shaking. I don't think I have ever been so mad in my whole life.

Keep them for a special picture board at his Grad party!

Good Idea!

 

[princess_momma]

That's funny that Treyner told his ex that soccer was his wife!! Love that kind of devotion!! I always wonder what sport Landon will fall in love with...he loves to play catch and roll the ball and has even thrown baskets. He cheers and claps every time sports are on tv, whether its baseball, soccer or football!!

Does Carsyn play any sports?? I can't remember right now!! But I do remember the photography (you know...landscape, portrait, rear-ends...the artsy stuff! )

Also, what kind of stuff will Baylor be doing at his burn camp? I'm very curious about it! I bet he is so excited. How long does it last? It'l be so fun to go straight from there to Disney World!

Currently she still plays soccer but has been in Dance, gymnastics and softball as well.

It's at Team Boat Springs so mostly skiing from what I gather. In the summer camp he went to he rode horse back, climbed mountains, and all that sort of outdoor stuff he loves.

Wow you're good! He needed to focus on soccer, and like I said before, didn't have time for much else. And at the time,last year (we're a year apart in age), I was going through the recruiting process, but for swimming, and I needed to focus on that, even though I ended up not swimming in college due to injury. I like what Treyner said to Carly, because that is SO true! But he has been given an awsome opportunity!

 

[whogirl'smom]

From one (former) social worker to another, you did the right thing girl! Good for you for standing up for that little boy in Plato's Closet! I spent 11 years working for CPS.

On the bright side, your kids' pictures always make me laugh! And did I see you say that your dates are Dec. 18-23? Ours are Dec. 16-23!

 

[Leash]

So - I am looking for a new sister and a better Aunt for my child. I really do appreciate your words and at the same time it is sad that someone reading this thread can be more compassionate than someone who lives 25 minutes away and is supposed to give a sh!t.

I would be happy to apply for that position. I am an only child so that would give me a chance to be an aunt. Even better it would make you my sister which would be great cause you are just too funny.

The good side to having no siblings is I don't have to put up with someone like your sister but I also don't have the chance for any cool sibs or nieces/nephews. However my mom has 5 brothers and sisters and one of them is just like your sister, she has gotten one of my aunts to not be on speking terms and is slowly working her way throught the rest, I think one of my uncles will be the next to ignore her.

Anyway so I have no previous experience with being an aunt or a sister but I'm a quick learner and I can multi task. I would be happy to provide my services from across the country or in person for the next state fair (those pictures of food were drool inducing) or if you ever make it out to Vegas. So if you think I would be a good match for that job my contact info is Leash on the DisBoards.

I just read the part about pinning the abusive jerk in the clothes store and I wish I could find a clapping smilely. I really don't know what I would have done if I had been in your position but now I would certainly be taking a page from your book.

Can't wait for the rest of the TR and I'm starting to get into your new PTR (OMG I think this means I'm stalking you but I promise I'm harmless).

 

[KimD]

Finally all caught up! Had to take a break for a bit...DH's grandma passed away a couple of weeks ago and things have been just plain nutty 'round these parts.

But you never fail to crack me UP!

I had left off at Sea World (I was a bit behind!) but a few things that caught my attention:

DOLPHINS!! I LOVE me some dolphins too! I actually wanted to be a dolphin trainer when I was a kid and used to get SO MAD at my little brothers when they wouldn't perform the way I wanted them to during our summer fun in the pool.

Yellow kitty...simply no other words are needed.

Treynors visit home was just awesome! What a great surprise for the kids but bummer....dang FB!!

Ummm...if the decision hasn't been made my I place my vote for the POLY! OMG! I would LOVE to get lei'd in the lobby, hallway....heck, I'd even settle for the parking lot...I'm not picky! I will stay there some day but in the meantime will live vicariously through you if you do stay there!

SO...ummm...Beotch with the cig and poor little boy at the parade....UGH Not much else I can say about her.

While we're on the topic of top notch parenting I do have to say GO DISNEYDAWN on the throttling of that horrid father at Plato's. That is just horrible. You are very much like me and I was actually shaking while I was reading that. Started again just thinking about how they are talked to or treated at home behind the closed doors. Thank you for stepping in for them.

I'm sure this is out of order but again for the anniversary of Baylors accident and to your PITA little sister. What a piece of work. Love when people think the universe revolves around them...no matter what the circumstances are. At least the rest of his family supported him!

Georgeous ring....you are one lucky woman!

And last but certainly not least....'89 is FINE! I JUST celebrated my 20th reunion. Oh boy...where do the years run to?!?!


Looking forward to reading more!

Nothing like having your mind stuck in one mode....well, as long as it's Disney mode.
