Julie Gentry's commentsComments On: EverythingArticles Blogs Journals Photos created by: EveryoneJulie Do You Judge Other Moms? - Blog Entry07 Jun 2007 07:25 PM I guess I'm one of the rude moms :-). But I'm more apt to offer help than out-and-out criticism. As in, "Would you like me to hold your baby so you can take care of your son?" (who is pushing the grocery cart into the backside of the elderly man in front of him). What I probably really mean is, "Lady, if you ignore that child who's acting like a brat, he's only going to get worse." Your situation was a unique one. Unfortunately, many parents today let their children run wild with no boundaries at all. I think far fewer of these instances are "bad days" than bad parenting. Pop Culture Potpourri: Bill Cosby's Plea To Parents, "Borat's" Going To Be A Parent, and More - Blog Entry05 Jun 2007 02:24 PM Good for Bill Cosby! He's not worried about being PC, only about the kids. Be A Visitor in Your Own Town - Blog Entry05 Jun 2007 11:15 AM Great idea, Myra! I'm sure we all have places close to home that are yet to be explored. Hollywood Couples Calling It Quits - Blog Entry05 Jun 2007 11:12 AM Maybe what's missing is, "I look forward to spending the rest our lives together as best friends and business partners, but this way I get to sleep around during my midlife crisis and don't have to hide it." ;-) What Classes Do Homeschool Mothers Have the Hardest Time Teaching? - Blog Entry05 Jun 2007 11:09 AM Ah, Chemistry! I got through on personality and family ties (my brother had the same class two years earlier and missed four questions the whole year.) Fortunately, we have an excellent science teacher in the area whom I'll be sending mine to for the lab credit. I like your idea of taking the foreign language together. We're doing Latin, and starting Japanese in the fall. I love homeschooling because of the flexibility it provides to meet their needs. It doesn't always have to be me. Exercise & Trauma - Blog Entry04 Jun 2007 08:47 PM I clean. lol. It works! Probably very similarly to your exercising. When Children Reach the "Club" Stage - Blog Entry04 Jun 2007 08:40 PM My sister and a neighbor had the "freckle-toe" club. One that I, of course, couldn't belong to because my toes have no freckles ;-). Thanks for bringing back the memories! Food for Thought: The Congressional Food Stamp Challenge - Blog Entry04 Jun 2007 08:07 PM $21 per person per week? Granted, that doesn't buy a lot of steak, but that's a little bit more than our household budget -- one that includes clothing, schooling, entertainment, extras, AND food. I think classes on how to save money ought to be mandatory. I'm sure most people collecting taxpayer assistance don't know how to shop. Marriage in the News: Temporary Marriages - Blog Entry04 Jun 2007 04:26 PM I think you're right, Tristi. I went to a wedding a few years back where they promised to stay married "as long as they both shall love." Wonder what the odds of them staying together are. Divorce is Not an Option - Blog Entry04 Jun 2007 04:24 PM You're right - it should be the last option. The only reason I'd ever leave mine would be a pattern of infidelity, which I don't see happening. I think sometimes people give up too easily. Divorce is the end that never does. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 |
