When my DS was 3 months old and we were having him baptized right when the priest was blessing his forhead with holywater he pooped his diaper. When I got back to our pew in church and sat next to my Grandmother I told her what happened and she said "He out the devil!!" I couldn't believe she said this in church but it was so darn funny I will remember it forever.

I'll give you my personal opinion- and this is as a MOTHER and a child psychologist (my day job when I am not on Disboards):

I'm worried about my 6 year old. She has already begun to "grow out" of the magic. She already thinks that there may be people under that Chuck E. Cheese costume- and that bothered me- so I booked a trip to Disney ASAP- this summer. I hope against hope that those princesses are GOOD GOOD actors.


My husband wanted to wait til our three year old is older,but I don't want to risk what I KNOW first grade/second grade will do to my daughter...! I want her to still believe, or at least have some doubt/unsureness as to whether that is REALLY cinderella or not!

if you hit the little red triangle with the ! i think it alerts the mod. about that particular post

i hate to see threads closed when it's usually only one or two that seem to fight on lots of threads but i don't know if there is anything anyone can do about that. usually i try to just bite my tongue and hope they go away if no one addresses their issues

Sorry for the delay in addressing the problems on this post, folks. I am sorely tempted to close the thread down but since most people are staying on topic and seem to be having fun with it, I'm going to edit out the 'problems'.

Please bear with me, and please do not be insulted if you find all or part of your post has gone missing. I am going to edit out the replies to the 'problem' posts where the 'problem' posts have been quoted.

You are welcome to pm me or address it with the webmasters if you have any questions about what I have removed.

So....can we get back to the topic? If so, have fun and I'll keep an eye on the 'problem' so that it doesn't continue to effect what should be a 'fun' topic.

I found this little feature on the user CP where you can put that person who bugs you on an ignore list and then you don't have to bother to read what they are saying. The only prob is when people quote them or if they keep on carrying on a convo with them it can get confusing because you only see one side of the convo.

 

[cleo]

You make a very good point about quoting problem posts, Lizzybee. I realize it helps clarify some responses, but it also tends to continue the problem when someone is clearly trying to goad people into a fight.

Sometimes the issue is so transparent it's best just to ignore someone who wants to 'rile up the masses'. It's hard to step away at times, and that's where the Ignore feature works wonders. It also stops feeding those who are just looking for a reaction.

So let's take a deep, cleansing breath and see if this thread can stay entertaining. No, it doesn't have to be all pixie dust and loving hugs (I'm somewhat allergic to pixie dust in large quantities, myself ), but deliberately trying to pick fights is simply not going to be tolerated.

WEll Cleo, glad you cleaned up the thread and sorry I posted regarding the issue that wasn't the issue! Anywhoo, my embarrassing moment was last October at Liberty Tree Tavern. It was my son's 11th birthday and I had surprised him by ordering a cake so they could come out and sing. I saw our waitress getting the cake ready and calling others over to sing so I knew it was coming. I signaled my husband and dad to get the cameras ready when my son suddenly gets up and walks off! I said "hey come back here" and he tells me has to go to the bathroom NOW! I tell him no way, sit down you can go later. Suddenly he starts going off, I never let him pee, why can't a guy just go to the bathroom, why do I care, leave me alone, I'm 11. All of this as he stands by these other people's table who are looking at me like I am insane to not let my kid go to to the bathroom. He stomps back to the table and he puts his head down on the table and starts to cry. Really uncharateristic of him. The people at the other table are shaking their head at the control freak mom who won't let her son urinate when he has to. Suddenly this woman is ringing this huge loud bell and yelling "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" ! He looks up and just almost passes out thinking this woman is here to take him to the bathroom, now he is totally upset with me! They finally start singing Happy Birthday, he catches on and his happy. But I was kind of mortified to have my 11 year old yelling at me "why can't a guy just pee?" really loud.

Here's two things,

1. Waiting for a bus to MNSSHP, there was a little girl, looked about 6 or 7, in a very pretty hand-made Cinderella costume, she was so cute. Another family with two little girls about 5 or 6 and 8 or 9, were there wearing the store-bought Cinderella costumes, with all of the plastic jewelry. They were making fun of the first little girl, because she didn't have the necklace or ring, and purse, and whatever else the stores sell. The little girl did, however, have a black band around her neck, (like the one in the movie,) and her costume looked like it was right out of the movie, while the other two were so commercialized. Not that I think there's anything wrong with the store-bought costumes, but with the purse, and the pearls, and the earrings, and the crown, and the rings, it gets to be overly-accesorized, and tacky looking. I felt so bad for the little girl, and the other girls' parents were just standing there letting them say things, nothing to bad, but critizing her for not having all of the jewelry.

2. On the plane ride back, I sat in front of two kids who would not shut up, and were kicking the seats, etc, the parents kept on telling them to be quiet, but they weren't listening. These kids were maybe 10 and 12 years old, so old enough to be able to behave for a two hour plane ride. You could tell the parents were embarassed, and I could hear them telling the kids no more vacations.

AlmostApril, please do not continue referring to everything I just worked so hard to edit out. Please, for everyone's sake, let it go.

OKay the funny part is that he didn't pee for like another 20 minutes! I had to remind him as we left, uh don't you have to go to the bathroom? "Oh yeah" he replied. This from the kid who stood 15 feet from me yelling "Why can't I pee?" The joys of parenthood. I am still chuckling at your child's poop balls rolling down the aisle at church!

no offense on the editing taken here!

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

So daughter and I go in, (she is 2) and when i am finishing up, JUST before i flush, (and there are 3 other ladies in the room) my sweet little girl YELLS out loud : MOMMMMMMY POOOOOOP! Of course i hadn't, but everyone there thought differently. Sigh. LMAO

You're just digging yourself deeper and deeper into this hole. I don't want to see this thread locked. Please just let it go.

A story I have, I was in the Christmas shop in Downtown Disney. It wasn't so embarrassing for the parents but more cute. There was a little girl and she had picked up a huge star decoration. She was running around the entire store with it held on top of her head, shouting "Look Mommy!! I'm a Christmas tree!!!!"

At Disneyland Paris, I sat down for a parade and had been there a long time. This little boy (about four or five) and what I presume was his big sister were dressed as Peter Pan and Tink and were running around, chatting to us etc. - so cute! After an hour, their parents called them back and we moved up so they could sit right on the kerb with us. When the little boy sat down next to me, he looked absolutely horrified! I asked him if he was alright and he said "Your feet are MASSIVE!".

I didn't know what to say but my friend was rolling around laughing

It's true. I'm 5'4" with size 10 feet. I'm a female clown
