Ever Feel Like a Thread Killer 37

^ I hear you, honestly the only thing I liked at Disney was hitting all the beers from around the world. :slight_smile:

I actually do not look forward to this trip, this is for the wife. My wife’s oldest son of 19 has downs, he is a great kid. BUT I am the only one that can keep him under control, he has at times pitchs fits. Also he doesnt like the dark and fears MOST rides. So on this trip it will be me and him walking around sitting on benches while the wife and two other kids go on rides. I do that so my wife can have quality time with her other two one is 18 and the other is 15. They grow up fast and I want her to have as much ā€œgoodā€ time with them as possible. Any way I will take my Nook and kick back and people watch.

You are a good man. Hope you have fun.

^ Well technically I will not be at work. So I will have fun, I am also a judgemental prick so I always enjoy people watching. Anybody know what the weather is supposed to be like?

HAI guys! I bustin in on this thread so it’s not such a sausage fest! ( :

you must have the patience of a saint DJHT…

My little one will be 4, and if she senses even the slightest frustration in me, it makes it so much worse…

I’m putting myself out there here…can you hop over to this thread and make a BF% guesstimate? I feel odd having posted pics and only getting lurkers, lol…
Thanks!!

MIM I have gotten better as I get older, when I was in my early 20’s I had the 4 year old so I will say you get better with age. I love my wife and her kids, its as simple as that.

oh,I have a 9 yr old boy as well.
It does take practice…but I’ll tell ya, its one day at a time. I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing…but there alive, well fed, no broken bones yet and they behave in public(for the most part)

:slight_smile:

^ Hahahahahaha there is no blue print for raising kids. I have chronicled my trials and tribulations with all 5 of my children in my log. I wish I could say it gets easier as they get older in regards to being a parent, I would be lying. You just become more patient out of just being fucking tired.

My son is 14 and still full of surprises. I am glad to see that my parenting experience is not abnormal. I am thankful to only have 1 child. Less heritage to screw up.

As a still relatively young person, the one thing I wish my parents had done that they didn’t was just work alongside me on something. My dad always either completely did the project or told me to figure it out while he supervised. There wasn’t a lot of doing things together per se. I wish I had that- like working on a car or lawncare or setting up the media room- just do stuff with your kids instead of for your kids. Even one project every couple months would have been nice.

  1. Refereed on Saturday. Watching happy lifters made me want to cry. Feeling like I’ll never compete at the international level again. Slightly more than bitter.

  2. I’m an attorney. You’re an attorney. We both know you don’t want me on your jury. Can’t you please just release me first?

^ Why #1? #2 I understand.

Lots of things. Changed weight classes means the women who were very good but lighter or heavier than me are no longer in different classes. Constant tension with spouse about me doing only things for me (lifting, traveling, etc) and not ā€œusā€ is too much to bear anymore. Time to squirt out crotch critters? I don’t know. I just feel like something is dying.

This saddens me and pisses me off at the same time. Sorry,I don’t like it.

I sorta kinda almost not really poisoned Amber to death with the tiger balm I just bought. I turned my back for 10 seconds and when I turned back she was licking the outside of the jar after I’d closed it after using it. After being on hold for 10 minutes with the animal hospital they said she should be okay because the amount was so little and if there was going to be a reaction, there would have been one while I was on hold. FML.

I’m going to take a nap now.

Takes a Prilosec with a TUMS chaser

I guess we’re going to have to put the PCC on speed dial when we have kid(s), huh?

FML,My cellphone alarm rang during speech class and thats like 10 points off my grade.

Anyway,kids these days are fucking pussies. One of the younger guy asked if i wanted to play touch football. Really? Touch? When I was their age,we would all play on someones yard or in the dirt and come home with cuts,bruises and if somebody really put out the effort,being dragged home knocked out.

PMPM I apologize. I did not mean to pry, was only try to lend an ear. We all go through rough times and hard ships in our lives. Everyone’s problems are their load stone to bear, treat your troubles like you do the iron. Fuck it, never give up and lift it till you bleed. I will pray for you.

Hang in there PMPM…shit’s bound to get better.

it’s gotta ~
