Hey! You stole mine from last year!!

Let me give a little advice about stopping smoking if I may, b/c its worked for me. The same thing may or may not work for you but I'd feel selfish if I didn't share it. Just relax. Don't make it a huge to do, don't make it the center of your day. Keep yourself busy and don't allow yourself to think about it. This was the one and only time I quit that I didnt' make a big deal out of it. I decided from day one that I'd only make a big deal out of it AFTER I felt I succeeded. That would be now... 2+ months later since I stopped. I have faith in all of you who want to quit, and use whatever works for you.

The love I have for myself is the most valuable thing I own
If I find it with someone else some day, I can give it more responsibly because I have it for myself.

Nobody else said they were perfect. I tried giving you kind advice. You may want to take into consideration that some of us have been doing this a little longer than you and may just know what we're talking about. I started helping raise my nephew when I was 14 when he was born, and then after my sister died I have had him 90% of the time since then. Its completely possible that someone older and slightly more experienced might know a better way to HELP both YOU and your baby.

I decided back in October that was mine... and so I quit then so I could hopefully keep it going through '09... so far so good

1. something tells me your kidding
2. I have a really strange fear of feet....

I know you guys are probably grimacing at this, but it really is delicious. My nephew ate it and loved it, and he hated lima beans before this.

People who hold grudges for far too long and don't talk to you so you can be friends again when you know there was really no reason not to be in the first place. People who don't realize that almost a year of ignoring someone is kinda mean when that person has poured their heart out to them and tried every avenue to apologize even though they still have no idea what they did because that person won't talk to them.

Have you tried to talk to his father about this or do you yell and scream at him too? I'm sure the guy deserves it if you do, but this isnt' about you or him.. its about your son. Don't take your frustrations about your ex out on your son. You CAN be consistent at home. He will eventually learn that just because daddy lets him doesn't mean mommy will. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CALM AND CONSISTENT.

You tell him no, put him where he can't harm himself, and let him have his fit. Believe me, it will be challenging, but eventually when he sees fits don't get him attention they will calm down. Maybe not go away, but definitely be fewer and farther between.

I love when people use that to excuse away mistreating their children. My nephew (whom I raise) used to be like that too, but we just taught him that just because someone else lets him get away with things doesn't mean he can do it at home. Consistency works. Yelling constantly is emotional abuse.

I obsess about my health. Is that really that bad though? I don't smoke, drink, bite my nails, cuss much, rarely eat junk food.
BTW, yelling at your baby constantly isn't a bad habit... its bad period.

Single serving:

1 cup fresh frozen baby lima beans cooked
1 tsp margerine
dash salt or salt subsitute

Put 'em in a bowl and smash them with a potato masher. I'd be willing to bet you could get kids to eat them...

Hehe, lucky for the men of the world I have both

Yes. Me.

Agreed. People dating sheep is wrong.

I've honestly never met anyone who was 100% right for me. They're either players, druggies, morons, controlling, or just down right annoying. I know WHAT kind of guy I want, I've just never met him...lol

Ditto

One warning. Before they ever officially f*ck up. Maybe a polite nudge if they come close to same behavior later. I have a very low bull$hit tolerance...
