Dear X:

[nh23]

Dear mommies:

I don't have children. I was a rather awful child at many times, and not a quiet one (does this surprise anybody?) My 25-26 year old mom with rather crappy parenting skills would get up from the table, take me outside. She was single, lived with her parents, but didn't think that adults in restaurants wanted to listen to me scream. Didn't think that being a mom gave her the right to be indignant when the source of noise pollution and my generally foul beahvior. (I would probably want to drop kick little me)

Why oh why is that a thing of the past?

I have my own bag of shit in life, it does not give me carte blanche to ruin other people's movies dinners air travel and whatever else you want to tantrum on through.

Lol..it's not a thing of the past for me. I avoid places that aren't kid friendly. I know that a couple out for a romantic dinner, really don't want to be bothered by my two year old throwing a fit, or throwing peas at them for that matter..lol.

To be honest, I'd have to say that being a 'big girl' myself, I would pass judgement on someone allowing their child to order something so hideously bad for them, because in MOST situations, all that is is crappy parenting.

Would I be wrong in those situations where, as someone said above, the child had dietary restrictions? Sure. But I'd be willing to be wrong on those very few occasions that it wasn't just some lazy-ass parent refusing to teach their kids how to eat properly to make sure they don't grow up fat, sick and obnoxious.

I didn't get to be a lardass by eating salad and drinking Evian three times a day. For that reason, I have no damned right to pass judgment on what other people eat, kids or no kids. I might be a lot of things, but a hypocrite I'm not.

My first though if I saw a child ordering something that wasn't healthy would be that he or she was having a strike. Like my son sometimes refuses to eat anything except yogurt all day long. I'm just glad he's eating. Plus it's not my responsibility to make sure other parents are feeding their kids as I see fit. I just worry about mine.

 

[LittleJade]

you obviously do not have children

First, no, I don't. I have miscarried 3.

Second, I have experience working with children- I used to teach them. *nod* I was an art teacher at an art school and gallery. I have spent my entire life working with children, from tutoring, teaching, working with special needs kids, etc. I haven't done much of it in the last few years, due to lack of time.

Thirdly, I DO have experience working with, as I said, special needs kids, but also mentally and physically challenged adults. Two of them live with my in-laws, and I have been an active part of their lives for six years, as well as other people involved with the developmentally disordered community here.

All of that being said- I DO know that those kids were with their mother. Due to the "mommy, mommy!" and the occassional "shut UP, Caleb, mommy's talking to Auntie June" that went with it.

Secondly- yeah, I'm fat. Yeah, I'm working on changing that. And I've lost quite a bit of weight in the last year and a half. It is my being fat that makes me feel indignant about that child's sandwich literally swimming in mayo- she was 7 and already quite overweight. I want to save kids from the kind of life that I live. I am not un-active. I am not bedridden, and I don't have bad effects of my weight on my body... but I know that my weight is going to be a huge decider in how long and how well I live. I know that I was made fun of, and still am, every single day of my life. Every. Single. Day. I want to save kids from that. I am working on changing my eating habits in order to do so for myself... but I get SCARED for children when I see that kind of behaviour allowed. It just scares me.


So yeah- I'm a bitch for having a bad day and anonymously bitching about someone who made my day a bit worse. I'm a bitch for having an opinion about parenting, proper diet, and wanting better for kids than I've had. I'm a bitch for lacking parenting skills, because I don't have the kids I should have had. If I'd had my children, I'd have a 6 year old, a 5 year old, and a four month old. I'd know, better, how to parent.

In the absence of that- I know how I will raise my kids. I know I will endeavor to raise them like my parents raised me- and I know, based on my brother and myself, and all of our fucked up psychological issues included... we turned out pretty well.

I'm sorry about you loosing your children. My daughter was a twin and I lost the other child. I know how hard it can be. Your life seems to be filled with tragedy. I hope that you can find peace.

As far as parenting skills go..my parents had none. Which is why I am so determined to give mine a better life. There is no way to know how you will raise a child until you are in that situation. I had a plan..a grand plan. It was blown to shit as soon as I delivered them. You never know how your kids will react to a certain style of parenting. Good parents have fat kids. Shitty parents have kids who grow up to be amazing people. We just do the best we can. But thinking and doing are two different things..

I don't like to think that my life is filled with tragedy.

I like to think I am blessed to have learned and grown from each situation.


You're right- I don't know until I'm in the situation...

That's a great attitude to have. I didn't mean to be offensive by suggesting that your life was filled with tragedy. Just by reading your threads and posts.. a lot of bad things seem to happen to you.

 

[LittleJade]

Perhaps.

I like to believe that God never gives us something we can't handle...

That might come across as offensive to people who've lived through something that broke them... I've been broken... but I've lived through it.. and so have others...

it's just one of the things that has gotten me through. Obviously I can live through it, if it's happening.

Perhaps my ass! I've never know a person that has been through as much as you have... outside of Shay..I don't know how you do it. I give you credit for keeping it together.

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

I know this saying too "God never give us something we cannot handle" I must add he shouldn't trust me that much sometimes.

I can deal with the fact my man left me, I can deal with living with very less of cash and I can deal with many many things, but I need my mum. She was always there for me and actualy shes only support I have, only person I can really depend on and the only person whos always there for me.

I was watching the TV yesterday and there was a man, an actor, who died yesterday on the very same illness my mum going thro right now. She looks okay, but the results of her examinations ain't good. I am so scared of her. And I know she's scared too. We don't talk much about it cuz I don't want her to think about the possibility she might die if she won't get better. Sadly untill now her health state is getting just worst. *sigh*


Dear Life,
could you be nice for a while for exchange?

[Qpet05]

I've come to realize I don't "look" like a mom anymore really... and I'm all about understanding the challenging kids thing (hi! I have the only child in the history of my La Leche League group who was so intense the other women suggested that maybe she would benifit from spankings), but I do still bend over to look eye to eye with kids who are running in stores (or yelling) and calmly tell them to stop it - now. Which tends to piss off their parents. And I also have this really bad habit of joking about toddlers and duct tape, because you can't have five children and NOT joke about toddlers and duct tape, except I forget that people look at me and assume I'm around 25... and I don't have a wedding ring... and my gaggle isn't usually with me... so they don't KNOW that when I joke about toddlers and duct tape, I speak from experience.

CutieMouse can i relate to that i have 9 of the urchins myself and boy are there days/weeks/months were duct tape or some other adhesive would seem like a GREAT idea!! (i thought my house was losing some of them when the oldest daughter moved back in with 2 grandkiddos aged 2 & 7months!!) OYE VEY!!

Dear Dumbass Doctors' Office Medical ASSistant:

#1. I'm not 'that young lady' with Mr. Patient So-and-So. I am that 'just as old as you and greatful not to look like it' WIFE of His.
#2. Check His glucose STAT because I can TELL that it is very low, followed by that glaring look I gave you translates as, " STFU and move it before I rip you a new asshole if that is what is needed to get you to wake the fuck up and MOVE IT.".
#3. No problem though. The rest of the office knows how dire His needs are when they cause need for His otherwise quiet and polite 'young lady' to tell someone as inadequate as you to find her someone else who CAN do your job.
#4. Karma is a bitch.
#5. Jesus loves you. The rest of the world wishes you would practice safe sex and just go fuck yourself.

Sincere Regards,
Mrs. Patient So-and-So

Dear Client X:

For the nonce, we'll ignore the fact that I despise your organisation, and mine, for this particular contract. Let's examine a chain of events.

1) I was on the damned ball and did my initial inspection within 24 hours of assignment. I spoke to the vendor at that point about the need for further mechanical investigation.
2) Your jackass customer moved the unit to another vendor without telling anyone.
3) Said vendor sits on the unit for a week before calling me to bitch me out as to why I hadn't gone out there. I nicely explain that I've done my part, and need more info from whomever is going to be the vendor. They promise that info, and to do the mechanical work needed to get it for me.
4) The vendor forgets this entire conversation.
5) Your jackass customer calls the vendor, and they roll me under the bus to explain their incompetence. Your jackass customer calls his agent, who calls you.
6) You call me and get pissy. I explain nicely that I have been on the ball from day fucking one and your jackass customer has dicked around with everything I set up by taking the unit to a fuckwit of a vendor. You tell me that the vendor is saying they never spoke me.
7) Thankfully, your rep is not a complete idiot, sees that I have way more information than I should have, and conference calls every goddamned body involved.
8) The vendor suddenly remembers the conversation, and that I told them to do the fucking work over a week ago, and everyone realises that the vendor is a passle of incompetent fuckwits.
9) And you're still rude to me on the phone at the end of the conversation.

Fuck you. Die in a fire.

Signed,
-The only guy in the whole mix who was doing his job properly

Die in a fire? This is why all of you people score so high on the evil test. Bad karma, dude. I'm tellin ya.

Dear incompetent and lazy ass assistant,

You haven't done shit in the last two months. I have been doing the work that you are being paid to do. I didn't sign up for this. I don't have the time to do your job. And i certainly don't get paid to do it.

But you know what really pisses me off? It's that you have the fucking balls to add insult to injury by bullshitting us on what you have (not) been doing and why. Here's a clue: I've been teaching undergrads for the last 6 years. Email server not working and emails strangely vanishing in webland, convenient illness, grandma dying, computer eating your stuff, printer misbehaving, car accidents, wrongful incarcerations, false bomb alert, etc., I've heard them all. I recognize bullshit when I smell it. So, at the very least, don't fucking insult my intelligence by coming up with pathetic excuses and lying in my face.

You better come up with results in the next few days. Otherwise, you're fired.

Dear world and fairy-in-the-sky,

For all my talk lately in this forum about being poly and all, I have to say that when I look around, I could well call myself a vegetarian or whatnot for all the difference it makes in my life right now.

Seriously, it's starting to feel a little lonely around here.

Evil is fun. I should know. I've been on the receiving end a few times.

Dear X,

How could you look at your eight year old daughter who weighs 420 pounds (Yes, you read that right!) and NOT realize that what you were doing as her mother was unhealthy??!! She was born weighing a normal 7 pounds, some ounces, and she had no other health reasons to have gained that much weight in only 8 years! For God's sake, her poor legs couldn't even hold up her body, and she was forced to roll around on the floor to get to where she wanted to go!!! It doesn't take a huge amount of intelligence to realize that stocking your fridge to absolute capacity with junk and allowing her to eat whatever she wanted every two hours was no healthy!!! Get a freaking clue lady......that's child abuse, and you put your daughter's life at risk!!

I'm glad that child protective services stepped in and helped your daughter get down to a normal weight for her age! She now looks like the beautiful young girl that she is on the inside. I hope you've learned your lesson, but I must add that it would probably be really helpful to your daughter if you would set a good example by eating healthy, exercising, and getting yourself to a healthy weight, too. Trust me, I know it's not easy, but if you're buying all the fruits and veggies and healthy foods for your daughter now, maybe you could follow her example, and you two could help and support each other.

Good luck to your beautiful daughter! I'm so glad that she's now healthy enough to attend school, and despite having to go to physical therapy fives days a week, she's on the right track. Keep up the great work!!!

Luvkitty
