That's wrong.. especially if she was a good mother to you guys. There are some family members I can see never wanting contact with (my wife's brother is the worst human being I have ever met), so we do not allow contact with him. There are reasons. There should be reasons to withhold your kids from their grandparents.
As long as you are it's friend it will be okay. A little mirror would be good too.

Very funny, guys!!
Does he ever eat yogurt or sauerkraut? Those are fermented foods. If you want links to articles that talk about the health benefits of fermenting foods (for people or for chickens), just say so, and I'm sure you'll get sent many links!that would be great but he dont drink... lol
Yes, I did know that.
I'm so sorry. I know what you mean. And even though they're not hurting anymore, it still hurts you to think about it.
My mom wouldn't let me play with Barbies either! I did buy Skipper for myself with birthday money one year, but she thought that was OK because Skipper was at least flat-chested and flat-footed.
What an adorable chick!!! Awesome picture you took!
Good luck!
And now they know to keep on your good side!
Didn't capture your quote, but I'll be passing you too on my way to Indi? I didn't know where in Indiana you live.
Well, yes, you're right. But my mom, although by no means perfect, was a very good mom. She was not abusive, and she loved us both very much and tried to do her best. I think he just can't forgive her for being human. She was under a lot of stress as a single mother with no marketable skills until she put herself through school while supporting two kids. So sometimes she snapped at us. Good grief, get over it, we're adults now. And she's an excellent grandma, which he would know if he wanted to, since my kids are older than his.
That is just strange.. and sad for your mother.
I have never tried that food cause I cant do spice and I'm told that is some spicy stuff... lolHow do you know they pecked him to death? Could he have died for some other reason and they pecked him because he was dead? I'm not trying to be contrary - I really want to know.
I'm so glad your flock seems to be fine!
Hey, I saw you're in Terre Haute - I'm just about an hour west of you, in Charleston, IL! Well, in the country near Charleston, anyway... We love the Thai food restaurant in Terre Haute, bring takeout back whenever we go there. I'll be driving right through Terre Haute on my way to pick up my mom from Indi in a few weeks.
Well, I hope that happens with mine. I agree with all that you said! The whole world is new again when you have a child to show it to.
I agree. I'd never want to be young again - way too much uncertainty and stress. But I'd love to have that body back!
Kids don't always come back to you. My brother is 44 and hasn't spoken to our mother in probably 20 years (our father passed away over ten years ago, but they didn't speak either, although our parents had been split up since the mid-'70s). My brother has never let our mom meet his wife or any of his three kids. Her heart breaks fresh every time she thinks about that, especially her grandchildren. To me, that's unspeakable. If he has a problem with his mother, whatever, but to deny his children their grandmother? No way. She's an awesome grandma, too. His wife is from Ukraine, and she has no family in this country, so my husband and I and our kids are the only family they have in thousands of miles. My brother was such a sweet little boy, too!
Yes, as for my own kids, I wasn't talking about them being rebellious or difficult, but just failing at life. I hear this happens fairly often to young people, especially boys, so we're just waiting for our 22 yr old son to figure his own way out, while giving him emotional support. Very painful to watch, though. This was a boy who was one of the best students in his class in high school, got into several very good colleges, did very well his first year in college, and then sputtered to a complete stop in the middle of his second year. He stopped going to classes, in fact stopped pretty much everything. He holed up in his room for several weeks, only sneaking out at night to go to the bathroom or to the vending machine for food. He lived in a single room in a suite in a dorm. Luckily, as he sank deeper and deeper into a self-loathing depression, he sent us an e-mail before harming himself. Anyway, that was three years ago now, and he currently lives in a trailer and works part-time making minimum wage, with no plans for the future whatsoever. He doesn't socialize with any of his old friends because he's too embarrassed about how his life is turning out, when everyone expected that he'd find the cure for cancer or something.
The weird thing is that a lot of his cohort from high school have had similar experiences. I think only one of them actually made it through college so far! Plus, his freshman year roommate from college also dropped out a couple weeks after my son did. But he's been working full time and going to night school.
We just have to be patient that our son will figure it all out.
Oops, perhaps I've said too much. Now you all know some of the dysfunction in my family (oh, yes, there's way more!).
Oh, wow, I didn't know that was an option!
Looks like a good beginning, but she (hopefully) will soon outgrow it. Do you have pets to worry about? Also, is it on the floor? as you know, chicks can get amazingly agile amazingly fast, and hop over the top before you know it. good luck!Is this ok for brooding my single chic in the house? I can drape a towel over it to block any draft or get a bigger tote if I must. Still hoping it makes it out of the egg
So it's a balmy 32 degrees and my EE Edie decided today was the day to start laying again
That means 3 tots are laying and at least 2 big girls..........I really thought with these artic temps no one would start again till spring. I hope that means spring and warmer temps are close !!
