You read my mind. I think I set those limits today! Unfortunately for my kids, I think that also means they will grow up not knowing A LOT of my family. A real shame, because they used to be wonderful people, or so I thought, until something got a hold of them? I swear in the world we live in today, you've got to be prepared for any sucker punch, from anywhere, and anyone. Live and Learn, I guess..

Over the years I've come to decide that family is an accident of birth that I can't be blamed for.... but that doesn't mean I need to put up with BS from them either.  Although there are times I let minor things go for the sake of peace and quiet there are also many times I will speak my mind because it is better for MY peace of mind.  The majority of the folks I actually consider my 'family' aren't related to me by blood, they are the family of my heart.... once I realized that I was much better able to handle the BS.   I also found that family will quickly realize how much they can or can't get away with and will push that to the limit.  If you set the limits more strictly they have no choice but to adjust.

Yup, family is who you choose, not who you're stuck with.

Can you take on most of my family??  For some reason I can't seem to!:rant I walked out of my own Easter/Birthday party before dinner was even served! For REALLY good reason, and a long time coming! Still sucks though! And I've always been the level headed one. Not anymore, that's for sure!! Thanks for your hugs all!!

There is a reason (besides my fiancee) that I live in Pa and my family is in NJ. I love them, in SMALL doses. My take on life is nothing like theirs.

Sending hugs and calm your way!!

(I typed "hugs and clams" first but figured that wouldn't help too much!!)

I hope April brings you much awesomeness!

I must say that I believe they are not. BUT its been over 3 years that I have had ducks so far and no one beside my douche bag neighbors have made any deal about it.. you would think that since those neighbors are my aunt and uncle they wouldn't say much. Hate them >.> Lots of people in the neighbor hood come in and like to see them and feed them. So what ever. If it comes to it I will fight twp

This is So awesome! What a good Dad, Chad.
 
If all goes well I will be going to the York Show!!! For as long as I can deff get that day off :D

Also. I have a female rouen duck.... Today I had let all my ducks go to the pond... later in the day only some came back to the pen.. it was early yet and I didn't think anything of it. My Dad took a walk down to the pond around 5 just to check on things. Here my rouen was UNABLE to walk and all the other ducks had stayed down there with her and wouldn't leave her! My Dad carried her back to the house and then the other ducks followed! My ducks all have a strong family bond! My thoughts on what is wrong with her is that my drakes overly mated her and exhausting her. She is missing some feathers on her back and outside the tub really will not put any weight on her feet! So after a crazy trip to Wal-mart to find some apple cider, which I never found, and cottage cheese. I ended coming home with the cottage cheese and strawberries. I currently have her upstairs in a pen. She already had some of the strawberry and cottage cheese mix. I added the electrolyte and vitamin mix to her water. She is currently sleeping and relaxing! I hope for a speedy recovery for her. She is such a sweet duck!
