...of course, you could always go and go with 'soy'....it's so 'Feng Shui'...

 

[kimmar067]

...then again, you could always go with something more 'ethnic', like 'Lentil'...

...however, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, should you even CONSIDER....

The vases that the flower arrangements were in were $16,500.00 each!! And she had a lot of them. That didn;t include the cost of the flowers of the crystals. Just the vases.

Wow. Just wow. And to think, the total cost of my wedding was the marriage license, my bouquet and DH's corsage!

Seriously. A long-time family friend pastor officiated for free, and we were married in my in-law's home with just family present. I wore a dress I already owned and DH wore his suit.

Well, since we're going on 18 years this April, it just goes to show that money doesn't buy wedded bliss!

Hey y'all, I need your opinions on something: do you "force" a 13-yr. old boy into social situations to try to get him to make friends?

I say no. I don't see the point. DH says yes, and that "he's 13 and doesn't make the decisions in the family." Which is true, but this isn't a family situation. For what it's worth, my MIL is of the same opinion.....you simply make him go and "he'll come around."

DS13 - who never wanted to move here in the first place - is just determined that he doesn't want to go out and meet anyone. I've made several efforts, but he just doesn't want anything to do with it. I figure, if he has no friends, that's HIS choice, and not because I kept him sequestered out here in the woods!

That's a tough one. It sounds like he's just in a huff because he's not happy with his lot in life (like just about every other 13 year old.) But when you have a homeschool kid, I know you have to make an extra effort to have them socialize with other kids their age, especially if you are out in the boonies.

Is he normally a social kid who's just being anti-social because he's mad? I'd say leave him be until he gets over it.

If he's not a social kid, I'd try to get him to be a bit more social, even if it's just finding friends on kid-safe internet sites. I think knowing how to be social with people is a necessary skill for the future, unless your job aspiration is hermit.

And thanks all for the bean talk. You all know it's the musical fruit.

I'm so pleased to keep y'all entertained with a discussion of nicknames for my kiddo.

I think my favorite is butter bean.

Although I do have to tell you, if we're getting very technical, this little bean is my little JELLY BEAN.

DS was my little peanut. I still call him by his full nickname as a baby which was my badooby peanutsky.

Yes. I'm weird. You should all know that by now.


LegoMom, I'm not sure what the answer is. I just don't really have experience dealing with teenage boys, and I'm such a social creature I can't imagine not wanting interaction. On the flip side, I know there are times (and were even as a teen) when I really appreciated quiet time with no one else. Perhaps he's going through one of these phases?

What other possible activities could there be for him that he might like, besides sports? I know our library has a teen group, and there are different sub-categories like an anime club, etc. Maybe something like that?

I love Bridezillas! Since I'm newly engaged, my Mom has made me promise not to be a bridezilla for my wedding.
