DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[DisneyLaura]

I have a friend who is Pentacostal and she told me that we needed to lay hands on my daughter and pray for her- yes I need to pray for her and I too believe in the laying on of hands but right now the only hands I think I could lay on her would be the two I put around her neck!!

Please pray for the Lord to give me guidance on this.

Where did she meet him? I have no advice for you. So sorry.

 

[Sparkie]

He is a cook at the local fast food resturant that she works at. Wait there is more- he is from mexico on a visa-

She thinks we dont like him because he is Mexican.

I told her I didnt care if he was from Antartica and his skin color was green- the problem is- he is 22.

I can't really say much. I met DH when i was 15 and he is 6 years older than me. I would advise my own children not to follow in what I did. I wll being praying for guidance and wisdom.

i just skimmed because i've been so swamped. hey, everybody!

sparkie - i can't talk - i was 17 when i met ray and he was 22. what's even worse is i told my parents he was 19. the day i turned 18 i told them how old he really was. but i got lucky with him - he actually liked ME, not the fact that i was young and impressionable. i have no advice for you other than to just meet the guy and see what sort of sense you get from him. i hate to say it but if she works with him and she's 16 and drives then it's gonna be very hard for you to keep her away. maybe you can do the reverse psychology thing - act like you just ADORE him and then maybe the thrill will be gone and she'll lose interest.

OHHHH! What a nightmare for you! No advice at all since I don't have a teen daughter (yet) and it's been too long since I thought I knew more than my parents and how STRONG young "love" is!

Prayers and fasting is what I'd do.

We're here for venting any time day or night!

Sparkie,

I have a DD23, DD16 & DD8. I was fortunate with #1, although I am not too crazy about her current b/f. So far so good, I think, with #2 and will keep #3 very close and prey.

The only advice I might give: PREY, PREY, PREY & PREY some more.

I never, never drink out of glasses--just plastic. Even at Disney in my DVC room---I fill the sink uop with hot soapy water and then clean all coffee cups and glasses. I do not even drink out of water fountains. I am a germie when it comes to public places--don't even get me started on public restrooms

One of the things I read about public restrooms is that when you flush the toilet, it sprays up tiny drops of whatever is in the potty. Not so bad if it is your own, but when I find someone else's leavings, I hold my breath, flush and run!

Yesterday was a long day. The funeral was in the morning so it made for a long day. It went as well as expected--the 5 year old just broke my heart. Stacey from here gae the eulogy and did a wonderful job.

It is Spring break here and the weather is YUCKY!!! Joshua is sick so I will be taking him to the Dr. today. His eyes are yucky and he has the crud in his chest and started runnung fever last night. We have all had the chest crud and cough--but no eye yuck or fever so I think it is time.

Well- I have won the Worst Mother of the Year award-

My 16yo just doesnt understand why its not ok for her to date a 22yo man.

Oh, the drama-

Any advice?

that's the ages of my parents when they got married. I have told my kids that dating someone who is technically and legally an adult while they are minors is not a problem: it's having sex that is illegal (and dangerous, and emotionally scarring and complicated, and blah, blah, blah, oh mom!). And if I had the slightest inkling that was going on, I would call the police. DS is now an adult, and DD will be one on 3/24, so now the shoe is on the other foot. And I tell them the same thing. Just substitute "wring your neck" for calling the police.

Heather, how are you holding up?

Encourage her to date other boys too and not be so exclusive at 16. They will do what they want with or without your approval.

I'd take that boy aside and ask what he see's in a 16 year old and let him know that his visa is only temporary and a phone call could be made on your behalf if he messes with your daughter in the slighest! While your husband is standing next to you with a shotgun, holding a beer, and wearing a holey t-shirt of course.

I kinda did that. When DD was 17 and a new boy was coming to pick her up I was sitting on the front porch sharpening my LARGE knife while wearing bib overalls with my holey t-shirt. He already new about the gun. After all we do live in "the sticks".

Hi Pretty Pretty Princess!!!!!


I say if the pants are ON, they FIt.... A little turniquet jeans never hurt anyone. Unless theres a muffin top overhang or camel toe.

Well, they are dress pants for work, and I don't think they look "appropriate" yet. There is no camel toe , and the muffin top is minor but there, and the butt, hips, and thighs are just a little too snug. I think I'll be good to go in another 5-10 lbs, depending on whether I lose it from the right places or not. Now watch me lose it all in my toes, or ears, or something.

Sparkie - I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers. I have no advice. I have no kids yet, but it would scare the you-know-what out of me too.

Gotta go bust some more clutter before bed. We're gonna have this house in such great shape before my lia sophia party! I'm so happy!

warning - a SORTA AI spoiler ahead!!!!!!












can i just say that the paul mccartney should totally sue kristy lee cook for what she did to "eight days a week" tonight on AI?

 

[Sparkie]

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I am suprised that some of you have the same age difference in your relationships. I would like to talk to your parents and see how they reacted and how they handled it. I dont think I'm doing a good job right now. Her dad and I had talked about trying to meet him, letting him see her at our house only, well, DD didnt like that much at all. So... I am so lost... kids really should come with an instruction book.

UM: Fasting? That would be a two fold solution. Helps me and helps the Peep patrol.

Again thanks for all the cyberhugs.

My parents did this (minus the shot gun) and he lost interest really fast! They knew there was no point in telling me I could not see him so they just made it so he didn't want to see me. Good thing too, the guy was a loser.

I kinda did that. When DD was 17 and a new boy was coming to pick her up I was sitting on the front porch sharpening my LARGE knife while wearing bib overalls with my holey t-shirt. He already new about the gun. After all we do live in "the sticks".

Hey whatever works! My brother-in-law plans to have my DH at the house when my niece starts seeing a boy (thank God she isn't interested in them yet). DH is a police officer and will be in full uniform with gun.

Good Luck to all of you with teenage girls. I am surprised my parents didn't lock me in my room.

UM,CONGRATS on meeting your goal!!

 

[honeymo78]

Well I didn't get to exercise last night. By the time I got done running errands, DH was home from his meeting and it was time to make dinner. It was about 9 when dinner was ready and I wasn't quite in the mood to hop on the treadie right after eating and before I knew it, it was almost 11 and bedtime. Of course I had to help DH cut his hair too. I don't understand why he has to do it himself, it costs $6 at Great Clips which is just down the street, but whatever.

On the plus side, I thought DH would be home around 8:30 tonight which meant I might have a hard time getting done errands and exercise before he came home, however he is working a little later and won't be home until close to 10. Plenty of time for me to get errands, housework, and exercise in.

YES!! I can't seem to get myself going in the morning. I usually get up around 5:15a and get to work at 6:30a so that I can get home by 5p to let the dog out and walk. This whole hour thing has messed me up. I can barely drag myself out of bed at 5:30a, then I rush, rush and bring my breakfast to work so I can get in on time.

I hate time changes!

Heather, how are you holding up?

I am doing pretty well. Still have moments and I am sure I will for a while. She was only 37 so I it is just hard. Thanks for the concern.

I started dating DH at 15 and I do not know if my parents knew or just pretended that they didn't (I am the youngest of 4 and had never gave my parents any trouble). We mainly hung out with a group of friends. At 17 I told my parents that we were officially dating. They handled that well. I am putting it all out here---I snuck out almost every night for long time--again not sure how much my parents chose to ignore. Towards the end of my senior year of high school we got married---this was my moms word---this is the 90's you do not have to get married--we did and my son was born 8 mths later. We have been married for 14 years and have 4 wonderful children. Loooking back I wish my parents would have seemed to care a little--don't get me wrong I have great parents--If they would have expressed some care or concern maybe things would have been different. Before I found out I was preggo we had decided to get married after my freshman year of college--we just moved it up a year. I say all of this because I was the kid with good grades, was in band, and played varsity sports and I never was once in real trouble. My parents trusted me and I ran with that trust. I grew up in a family where you never talked about anything serious. I wish my parents would have spoken their concerns.
