HI guys! My middle son had his tonsils out in 2nd grade. The reason for his was that he'd had strep 8 times that school year. Is strep what we used to call tonsillitis when I was a kid? If so, guess that makes sense. It did help a lot, since he only got it once since then and it was a much milder illness that time.

Here's my next question for you guys! I already posted it on the teen thread (well, parents of teens thread!), but I don't think most of you hang out over there!

At least a month ago, we mentioned to GF and her dad that we were going to Wisconsin Dells (Waterpark capital of the world!) camping this weekend and that she was welcome to join us. I pointed out that although we have a popup (which is tight with the 5 of us, let alone 6), we would bring a tent and have DS16 and dad sleep out there. So that in the camper, we'd have GF in a twin and me in the double on one side of the camper, and then my younger two boys on the other side (there is a curtain that comes across).

Dad said that they were going up to their cabin that weekend and that was the end of the discussion. Now suddenly as of yesterday, it turns out that her older sister can't get the time off from work so they're not going. Which means that GF can come with us. But here's the weird part. Her dad's condition is that SHE must sleep out in the tent - BY HERSELF!

Okay, maybe I'm a weenie, but I wouldn't sleep out in a tent by myself in a state campground (read wilderness). I'm not certain I would even let one of my boys (I was considering having the older two boys out there but decided I'd feel better with dad there instead). And I KNOW I wouldn't let a daughter sleep out there alone! Not to mention that now if DS wants to sneak out and be with her, it's made much easier. In my situation, GF would have to sneak past me and DS would have to climb over dad to get together. Now DS (who usually sleeps on the floor in the popup) just has to pop the door and sneak out. I guess what I'm thinking is that the tent is going as close to the camper as physically possible, but does this seem weird to you or just me?!

Marci sounds to me the guy is weird and would never let or want one of my kids to sleep in a tent by themselves and I know its sneaky but I would tell the father ok and when you get there do your sleeping arrangement

Happy B-Day Andy and Dave

i must be weird.

i have slept in a tent alone before.


once you are asleep, you never know what is happening around you.....

it's safe up there in the camping area around the dells.
don't worry about that part marci

Andy - here's some birthday wishes for you too! It doesn't sound like you're having a great one so far, but maybe some rest and relaxation is just what you need right now!

thanks, marcie! It'll get better once I go get my favorite taco salad from Taco Bell and cozy up to watch my movie. If only I could breathe through my nose!

That was my idea too. I did tell her to make sure that that her dad knew that if it was bad weather (how much of the Dells is under water already?!) that we'd all fit in the camper in a storm, etc. In that case, I'll put DH and middle ds on the double bed, with DS13 on the twin, Matt on the floor, and me and GF on the king (so somebody will have to climb over me for them to get together!). I'll see how she feels about it when we get there!

Yeah, but it's the falling asleep part that's the problem. I wouldn't be worried about wildlife as much as axe murderers, vampires, aliens - you get the idea! I have a very hard time going to sleep at home alone - let alone out in the woods in a tent!

Yeah we already started to cut his salt and I don't know what the normal bloodpressure is for a 12 year old but his was like 145 over 79 but has been much worse cause the last time they checked it the bottom number was 90 so I guess we are doing something right to make it drop .
