OK..I have been dealing with my son being very sick for a while now. I thought I got him well, dd got the flu, get her well, and then ds got sick again with what looks like complications from this past spring. I am telling my dad the latest and he says "well I have maintained all along it's cause you have two dogs living in the house. Have you told the doctors this?" Well, dad, we have had Magic since before ds ever got sick. And I did call the vet and doc last May cause I wondered too if Bailey could have given him some kind of parasite since she was a stray and was told by both that unless the boy was picking up the poop, there is no way. Then I am telling my housekeeper all this and she says "well, your house does stink". great..lousy mom, bad housekeeper.....................just when I wasn't feeling guilty enough...............

Texannie, I think I'd be asking my housekeeper why my house stinks. Isn't it her job to make sure that is not the case? WTH are you paying her for anyway?

Sic 'em Tex!! YOU are NOT a bad mommy, nor a bad housekeeper, you make time for your kids!! >>>back to my rant!!<<<< I'm sick of the teachers taking advantage of me. They get stipends to do recess and stand and greet. I just found the 1st year teachers stipend sheet (he didnt put it away, it was on top of his inbox! W/ the # laying on top of the desk, he's not anywhere close to being neat, or organized, but Bless Him, he is a great teacher!!) Its $900 for the year. App 180 days in the year, this if for his 15 minute "greeter" job, in the morning btw, and he is great at getting there on time (last years teacher never did!) he does greet each student too (unlike last year!!) Now the outdoor recess is twice as long, so lets guess they get twice as much.... I figure that averages to only $5 a day. Not much, but still. Couldnt they at least I dont know hand me a gift certificate for Target, or Olive Garden or something? I got so freaking angry about it today, I flat our refused! I told them I could call off, or work 1/2 day, but at 11 am, I was going to enjoy DD class at their class' THanksgiving Feast. (my lunch hour for this teacher was to be from 11 - 12:05, he works it from 11:20 - 11:50) Just my rant, I dont dare get into it with anyone here. I have made an appt to discuss it with the principal (its not the first time i"ve tried!!)

((Reader)) sorry to hear you are being taken advantage of at school. That stinks. My mom works in a school system and I hear many a story. I hope the principal will listen and work with you. I've got a bit of a rant. As I was sitting in my living room, I see this teenager on his bike, go up my driveway, go along the outside of my fence (still my property as the fence is not on the property line) weaving in and around our trees, and stomps over our pampas grass (that is starting to grow back after the neighbor behind us "accidentally" chopped it down). I tried to cut the kid off at the pass but my dang dog got in the way. I did yell to him to just ask politely not for him to do that again and not once did this kid look back. (Should of let the dog at him. lol Just kidding!) The thing that gets me is he was so brass about it. I have my front door open, garage window open, back doors open, dryer going, my van in the driveway so he knows we are home. I don't care if they do it when I am not around b/c I don't see it. But I don't like them getting so close to the house when there is absolutely no need for it. He just had to go about 200' and he would of been at the street he wanted! I just can't believe how disrespectful (and lazy) the neighborhood kids can be. We have had them playing in our shrubs in the side or our house, using our front lawn as a short cut, climb our 6' fence to get into our backyard(!) and numerous other things. (And, it isn't like my ds plays with them. They are much older and my ds is only 4.5 y/o.)It is like talking to brick walls with them and their moron parents. We are the neighbors that keep to themselves, don't bother anyone and respect everyone. My dh and I work hard on teaching our ds respect and we have these kids who don't care. It really starts to get on my nerves. Thanks. I feel better now.

(((((TEX)))))))) I am so sorry. Unless the child is alergic to animals I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you're house is just fine. Some of the dirtiest homes I've seen the people didn't even have pets. My youngest DD came home from day care one time saying her wrist hurt. She had fallen from the monkey bars. It looked fine so I gave her some Tylenol and told her not to think about it and it wouldn't hurt so bad. When DH got home a few days later (he was working out of town at the time), he looked at her wrist and then at me and said "It's broken". Talk about feeling terrible. The poor baby went 3 days with a broken arm and all I did was give her Tylenol. The only broken bones I've seen have been twisted and very obviously broken...this was what they call a "Greenstick" fracture. LMAO Twinkie...excellent point on the housekeeper. I'm so glad your DS is going to be okay TEX!!

I feel for ya Tagurit! I had neighbor kids like that when we first moved in. Their own driveway was so full of cars, they "had" to use our driveway as a runway for their Big Wheels. They'd back the BW up to our garage door (slam into it), knocking paint chips off each time, and then roll on down the driveway. I told them and their parents several times to stay off my property. Since they were a different nationality, they pulled the "no speak English" garbage on me; forgetting of course, that I asked their father when we moved in why they thought they could use my trash dumpster (after they filled thiers) to fill it up with their garbage--which meant I not only could not get my trash in there, I also paid for their trash pick up that week). He spoke perfect English then saying he thought nobody was living here, so he felt it was perfectly okay to use our dumpster. Fast forward to when they were constantly parking their trash dumpster on our lawn, despite the fact I told them over and over NOT to park in on our lawn (there was a cement space to park our own dumpster, so he thought he should be able to park his there too. But in order to park his there, he had to move ours over so it was half on the lawn/half of the cement...and then his was half on/half off as well). Anyway, they never bagged any of their trash, they just threw everything into the dumpster loose. One day, the wind blew over the dumpster, and we had poopie diapers, egg shells, and who knows what else all over our lawn. I went over to their house, knocked on the door and told them that they WILL get over there, pick up every piece of trash down to the smallest egg shell fragment, and they WILL NOT park their trash on my property again or I will be calling the police. Funny thing....they understood English real well when I said the P word! They cleaned up every last scrap of trash, and at least I didn't have the dumpster problem again. This same family would play their music full blast at midnight. When a neighbor down the street yelled "turn it down" they turned it up even louder, and sang drunkenly to it. That was the one time I finally did call the cops. I was SO glad when they moved out. The next family that moved in....the Mom ran a day care center in her house, and let the kids loose in our front yard. How do I know? Well, after a fresh snow there'd be hundreds of tiny boot prints all over our yard! One year, I looked out and they were in OUR yard raking leaves up into a pile. I went out to see what the heck she was doing, and she said her kids wanted to play in the leaves. She did say she'd bag the leaves for me when they were done, so I let her go ahead, but it sure would have been nice to come and ask me first. As it was, she started raking vigorously over my Mom's roses and stuff in her border, and I told her to look out cause of the stuff in the border, she just said, "oh I know," and kept raking away right over all Mom's plants. Next group that moved in was 4 college students. I thought "groan, now what?" One day, they were going to have a party. One young man came to my door, said they'd be having a party, and gave me his phone number so if any of his guests (or the music) got out of control, to please give him a call and he'd take care of it! Funny isn't it? The families that lived there all had the attitude of "your property is ours to do with as we please." The one group that moved in that you'd sort of expect to be wild and crazy was actually the most responsible!

Oh geez, Who! I am sorry to hear of all you had to deal with! You must of thought you had some sort of magnet on your house that attracted those type of annoying people. I know I feel that way sometimes. The house across the street will be having new tenants moving in soon. I keep crossing my fingers that they will be somewhat "sane". (The last group was a bit crazy.) There is also a house being built straight across from us and that worries me too. It is sad. I should be happy to have new neighbors but instead I feel a bit of dread and worry. I am sure you know that feeling too.

I'm sorry Tgurit. I agree that most kids don't have any respect for adults or property belonging to others and I blame the parents. Respect for others begins in the home. There will always be exceptions because all kids are different. Reader....sorry you had a bad day too.

Military Family Support Group topic has been tainted with personsal political views and spews in my opinion, and it disappoints me to even venture in there any more. Why can't people just give support and leave their ranting in the rant thread or spew politics in the news and views area?

Good question, Gracie ... maybe the mods will step in here and help us.

Thanks Lady, I didn't even think of calling in the mods. It's just that I think the military families have enough worry, grief and disappointments and can use caring, loving support in there - not diatribes.

Could my nose BE any more stuffed up? Is it possible for one's head to explode from that one big noseblow? Gracie, I didn't know that was going on over there. It's supposed to be a support thread, not a political thread. Honks me off.
