I dont know what is up w/ these dogs today but they are right out of one thing and into another. Gross things.

Typical kids don't kick holes in the walls. Maybe he wants more attention. Has he said why he does it?

We get I don't know or I was bored. He also LIES to the point we can't believe him. I am to the point I have two choices. Commit him to an inpatient a program for an extended evaluation or sign him over to the state. He also has a thing for fire. I see the signs but when I have tried to get him help I get the condescending doctors telling me he is a typical 12 yr old boy.
Husband is no help and leaves it all on me. He thinks the kid is fine and dandy. I have gotten to the point that I am done trying. Been trying since he was 3. When do you just say enough?

I have asked a couple other yak breeders' and they have never seen their bulls "do the deed" either .

Maybe you should ask that lady on the question thread.

Did i tell you guys i planted a pear tree today? Now i need a partridge to put in it.

Right, like you need yet ANOTHER species to breed and raise!

Tried counseling and got told there was nothing wrong with him, that he was just a typical kid.

Um, I don't know every typical kid but I think you need a different councilor. I don't think kicking in walls is "typical" nor normal behavior for kids.

Hi all! Discovered I can fit a bale of straw in the back of my flex thing.

What is a "flex thing"? If you are talking a Ford Flex, you should be able to get several in there easily!

Little bit of paint transfer on the tire too.

Looks like something that would eat up your deductible and the insurance company wouldn't be paying anything. Sorry it happened. There are SO many distracted and in a hurry people out there.

Speaking from experience, Never. Moms just dont give up no matter how hard it gets. Take him somewhere else for an eval. If your dr wont send you then ask for a new dr. or a second opinion

That surprises me. When I was 12 they were quick to diagnonsense me with oppositional defiant disorder and offered to pump me full of Ritalin. (Mom said no to the Ritalin thankfully)

I suggest getting a second opinion.

Hun, you gotta do what’s best for you and your kid. I would consider signing off to the state an absolute last resort though...sometimes that can lead to worse behaviors. The extended eval may be an option. Some family councelling may also help - May show you some other coping strategies and all that fun stuff.

I’m not sure all what’s going on here (I’ve got some catchup to do!) but that’s just my two cents.

Which is why hubs wants to look at it before talking to insurance. The guy seems ok - and open to communication about it. If we can settle it out of pocket, awesome.

Haha I should say for the bale of hay. I only had the third row folded down. If I had folded the middle down as well we’d be laughing. But it’s the captains seats and got a center console back there so I didn’t want to go all the way.

This is what happens when my truck has the camper stuck on it lol. Thank gosh for harbor freight and their free tarps

 

[bruceha2000]

If I can fit a bale of hay in the back of my Prius with the rear seat backs up, surely you can fit one in your Flex with the 3rd row folded! I am ASSUMING we are talking a regular 40ish pound square bale.

Ah, I thought maybe it was a hit and run thing and you have to pay if you want it fixed. If the guy wants to pay to fix it without calling his insurance people, I'd go with it. But maybe let him know that you will have your insurance company collect from his if he doesn't. Bad part about that is you have to pay the deductible first and see IF your company can get your deductible money back from his. No guarantee.

It felt heavier than 40lbs!! And it’s rectangular. I could probably fit two in stacked but they were so long we had to angle a bit and move middle seats up so we could close the hatch.

Naw the guy seemed solid. Not that much younger than me. And his insurance is aaa so I think we’re ok. I hope he’s not going to try to screw me on this but he seems like a reasonable, decent guy who made a mistake.

I woke up smelling my grandma's lavender lotion. I haven’t been brave enough to check either.

Did she use yardley lavender soap? Love that stuff.
