Man, if it didn't cause so much pain to laugh, I don't think it would be this funny!

Scott is getting on my nerves with all the thread name changes!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????

Ha ha, Scott!! Shouldn't you be doing something....anything... of real value & leave us poor, innocent & all "Disney-fied" campers alone! I guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing "white-out"!! (Censoring myself in case any kiddies look at this.)

I did not change any titles TODAY................... YET

I think we have 2 useless chit chat threads now. I think I should put this in this one.....

I have a parenting question.

Do I coddle my children too much??????? Actually, that's not a real question, I already know the answer. Anyway...

My oldest DD is on a mission trip. She really doesn't like being away from home and only has a few friends that she will actually sleep over with. This trip is a week long, but it is local. I thought it would be a good way for her to give of herself, have the experience, but still be close to mom and dad. Plus, I sing for them on Thursday, Scott cooks for them on Friday. I did a hike with them on Sunday. Monday night I went and picked her up so she could sleep at home. Last night I slept out there with her (on a concrete floor~now that was restfull!), with the "deal" that she would tough it out the rest of the week. Well, she isn't feeling so tough and really wants to be done with the whole thing. I think she is working WAY more than she expected.

I really want her to be bold here, but I also don't want to turn her off to public service by forcing the issue either! I think this will be good for her. Teach her to stand on her own feet and know that life isn't always cushy.

What should I do???????

Definitely have her stick it out. It builds character as they say. It may be tough work, but I really think in the long run she'll probably appreciate the fact that she stuck with it. She may even end up with a new appreciation for how helping others can be really satisfying.

My DDs get involved in any of the mission related activites our church has and our budget will allow. They have never had any issue with being away from home or doing the work. Our church has a work camp every summer for JR HIGH in which the kids spend a week painting/cleaning/yardwork in low income neighborhoods. My oldest DD did this both in 7th and 8th grade and even this year even though she's now in high school. Our youngest DD would have also done work camp, but she had to take summer PE so she could do 2 electives (band and choir) in 7th and 8th grade. Our church also does a mission trip for our kids at the end of their 8th grade year where they spend a week in Washington D.C. working with the homeless. They work in a soup kitchen, spend time with the homeless in parks, do a ton of walking. They come back absolutely worn out, but if you ask any of them if they would do it again they say, "YES!".

Yeah yeah.... that's YOUR story & I know you're gonna stick to it.
Actually,,,I discovered the REAL culprit. I just can't prove it!! Someone said he resembled a "Pwetty Pwincess"! I think he looks more like an otter!!

Yeah, you all know better than me. I talked to her a little while ago, and I think she actually had a pretty good day. I am going to go out there to sleep tonight, but this will be the LAST time. I'm also stealing her cot. If I'm going to come out there for her, she gets to sleep on the floor!

I'm so confused, my head hurts. You all are CRAZY! I have been scrolling up and down looking for this thread!

 

[seabee]

Question for ya all, do I need to do anything special to get Aleise(my DD) a screen name for the kids thread?

Just register her, and pick her whatever name she wants! Here's the link to register her for the boards: DIS Boards Registration

These title changes are hysterical. Everytime I see a different title I think "Wow, when did I subscribe to that thread?"

 

[seabee]

I keep thinking, Where the heck did it go? But now I know to look for some odd titled thread, and there it will be waiting for me, like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a snowy day. Sorry, I'm a little tired.

 

[Gatordad]

you must be delirious if you are dreaming of cocoa...... in July.
