thanks

I know you want to blow up. I would feel the same. We both know it would do more harm than good. Blew up at my daughter once over a nocount boy. Then went to the boy to make sure he understood not to come around her again. Well he stayed away but she stayed away from me for about 6 or 8 months also.

It's hard to know when to step in and when to let them fall

I'll pray you don't lose your temper . You'll say the right things. What else can you do but . Your Mom Even though the right things may seem wrong to her .

Thank you. I'm most upset that she risked her life. . your spot on when you said she's running from something. It's her self hatred. She has battled low self esteem for so long. She's her own worst enemy. When she's In the moment It's about whatever makes her feel better. So I know blowing up and being condemning will only make it worse!

Praying that you will be able to be loving yet firm, and calm. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes, but that's what I'd hope for. When we start yelling, they shut us out and all they hear is, "Blah, blah,blah..." Praying for your DD as well. She may feel she's in a situation she can't escape.

Son #3 was saying how he would be happy to have new undergarments...

He said the boxers I bought are made of such thin material that all you have to do is walk across the room and the back rips wide open, which doesn't really matter since there are so many holes in the front that they are really just a "suggestion" of underwear.

He said he didn't like the short boxer briefs that I had bought him....because his, achem, "junk" dangles further down than there is fabric. He says that this also defeats the purpose of underwear.

He says that there are still a few pairs of boxer briefs that cover all parts, but they bunch up between his legs and chafe.

He said it would be nice to own underwear that actually covered all parts and did not chafe.

He then told me about the page in the Duluth Trading Co. Catalog where they were selling the perfect pair of boxer briefs, for over $23 EACH!!


I almost ran off the road. I laughed so hard.

I told the child that commando was the only way to go, and that I had NEVER owned a pair of underwear that cost that much.

He said he couldn't go commando.. the inside of carhartts were too rough.

I said fine, make yourself a kilt and go commando.

He said that he is disinclined to follow my suggestion.
