I just came across this pic from this past summer and it made me think about how lucky I am to have such awesome co-workers. I work with 19 men and 4 women and we get along so well. After reading about all the problems and stresses some of you have with bosses and work I feel so fortunate to have such a great group of people to work with. Anyone wanna guess which one is me?
 
I must get up and let the dogs out. I have hit the snoozer for a hour! I think I would sleep all day if I didn’t set an alarm on off days and then I would feel terrible.

I have to run to TSC today. It was so cold last night I just didn’t want to.
Do you use a particular brand of chicken feed? I was using Purina, but after finding bugs twice I switched to Nutrena.

If everyone is posting pics I may post a selfie I sent to friends in my new glsses yesterday???

We would love to see you in your new glasses. I think it will be fun to be able to put a face with the name

My sil has no children and just got married last summer at age 48.
She has given her advice on everything having to do with marriage and child rearing for as long as I've known her.
After 4 grown kids I'm offering actual advice.

If "you suck!" is the worst thing your kid ever says to you, you can consider yourself to be blessed beyond measure.
I'm not kidding.
BLESSED.

LIKE ANGELS SINGING IN THE CLOUDS WITH SHIMMERING GOLDEN HARPS, BLESSED.

The hardest part of fighting with a teenager is not blowing up and saying things that YOU can never take back when they start hurling their angry words.

Those words they hurl at us,
Damn they hurt!
Gosh they are disobedient and disrespectful.
Yup.
But we are the grown ups. They'll never figure out how to solve problems that way. We have to model self control for them.

Put the belt away or by the time he grows up, he'll be so full of resentment that he'll move as far away as he can and you'll miss out on being a part of his life.

It's hormones.
He can't help it.
He's still in there.
It's just that the next several years might be on and off rough because he is going to flip flop like crazy.
He wants to be your boy, but he wants to be a big guy too. And there will be challenges to authority,
Just like the young cockerels you guys all talk about on these threads challenging the grown up Roos.
It's just nature.

Men always talk trash about women and their cycles.
Guess what?
Men cycle too.
Just differently.
Also nature.

Hormones are a normal part of kids development and Ooh! OUCH! JEEZAWIZ, it isn't pretty.

Unless he's torturing animals, hurting himself, setting fires, or stealing the car,
count to 1000 then talk it out.
Ten is definitely not enough.
Nor is 100.
Sometimes a thousand hardly begins to cover it.

Just lock yourself in your room and come here and tell us what a little butt he's being and we'll cheer you up.
Because that's what friends are for. :hugs


I'm sharing this from a place of experience and love.
Please don't be offended.

Best written, best advice, just best best best ever.

I can tell you that horrible things said to me by my mum when I was 12 affect me to this day nearly 40 years later.

Patience can be hard to find but it is THE most important thing.

I was not a difficult child. In fact I was very introverted and quiet.

What is said and done to our littles shapes them way more then one would think it could.
