Am I totally ungrateful to want my Inlaws to pass down clothes that aren't thread bare or stained? rolleyes
I look at some of the stuff I get from them and really want to appreciate it, but half of the stuff I get I'd have thrown away instead of passing down. I realize we don't have a lot of money to pass around, but I don't want to dress my kids in clothes that I can see my hand through. stare
Never mind I just got a play pen that is not only filthy, but is lacking an instruction manual and I have no idea how to put it together.
I generally say thank you...and throw it away when they forget they gave it to me. Greg thinks I should keep some of the stuff, but seriously as much as I appreciate their help I want my kids to have semi decent clothes.

I've thought about this for quite some time since it happened so now I will rant about it. My best friend was pregnant when we were sophomores in high school. She told me about it and was so excited. She had a name picked out and everything. She has had a pretty bad life where she lost a lot of people that cared about here and she felt like this was her chance to make the life of a child wonderful like her life wasn't. When she told her boyfriend, he called her all sorts of terrible names and said it was impossible for that to be his and that she was sleeping with other people. She does not have the best judgement in the world, but one thing she would not do is cheat. She really loved him. So, this is the worse part. He went around telling these things to other people and tried to make her life hell. This caused her so much stress that she ended up having a miscarriage. That has changed her personality in some ways that I hate. Her ex boyfriend is also forever on my list of people who need to disappear from the face of the earth. Anyway, my mother, who is basically a great person, told me that my best friend was probably lying and that she had an abortion. I am pissed because my mother should have known better than to say something like that. She had been my best friend for 4 years and my mother knew her really well. She still believes my best friend had an abortion. I am pissed to this day about this whole situation.

So I was chatting with a friend last night.
And somehow the conversation had turned to how different types of people react the the same situations differently.
I had pointed out how I thought it was interesting that as a parent that situations specifically involving children effect me so much stronger because I can wonder realistically how it would effect my life with my son. Usually my thoughts with that deal with movies where children are crying or scared, or a book that has a child dying.
But my friend shocked me last night by saying, "No I still think parents are stupid to think that way. I cry more over Gandalf dying in LOTR than I do or would over some little kid having something happen like "Little Freddy gets fingered by teacher."
I don't think I've been so angry and so dissapointed in someone since my ex-husband.
Even before I was a parent, just the thought-the idea of a little child being hurt like that or at all was horrible to me!! Hearing about parents leaving their kids in 100 degree cars angered me!! But as a parent its even more so now!!
How can you call yourself a decent human being if that doesn't bother you in some way?!?! That a little child that you don't know or isn't yours is being hurt and you don't care!?!?!
I wanted to rip his balls off last night so the b*****d couldn't procreate. stare

How can you call yourself a decent human being if that doesn't bother you in some way?!?! That a little child that you don't know or isn't yours is being hurt and you don't care!?!?! I agree. I like to watch the forensic-based shows like NCIS, CSI, Bones, etc and any time there's anything to do with a child I get the strong urge to hold onto my daughter and know she's safe (this usually happens when she's spending the weekend with my mother) It really bothers me when people are insensitive about the way parents feel and react simply because we have the coding (if you will) that helps up to protect our children even when nothing's wrong.

I dunno, I'm just not really a crying type when it comes to movies and tv. I guess maybe because I've been ingrained since I was young it wasn't real. I'm not saying the reaction isn't real and sure, I've had a couple of ones that hit me pretty powerfully.
As with real life scenarios, it pisses me off more than anything when I read a horrible news story. And truth be told, I try to avoid reading them if I can. It's not that I am trying to pretend children don't get hurt or whatever, but I just get pretty peeved and don't want get myself worked up.

confused I think your "friend" was being callous and rude, personally. Probably thought he was being pretty bad-a** as well. *eyeroll*
Even before I was a parent (and never planned to have children to be perfectly frank), the subject of child molestation would have made me all ucky and feeling uncomfortable. I always hated jokes about dead babies. I could never find anything like that funny or anything but disturbing. I would argue it's because I have a deep ability to empathize and even fictional pain and suffering doesn't sit well with me. Never has. Never will. As a mother I'm more sensitive to certain fictional scenarios, because not only do I empathize as if it could happen to me, but as if it could be one of my own children as well. Now do I cry or get emotional? No, but I definitely get that ucky, uncomfortable feeling and a pressing need to be able to do something about it.

I always told family that did that "Hey, you had your chance to do that with your kids, these are mine, thanks."

I'm still having issues with my mother giving my two year old gum. I can't tell you how many times I've told her not to do it, after Raelin spit gum out and got it all over her car seat, but she's still giving her gum. Same thing with sodas. She also gave Raelin sugar-free ice cream when she was still on stage one baby foods. ARG! I'm praying she doesn't do the same thing with my son when he gets older.

Yes sister in law I'm much younger than you, and yes both of your boys are well behaved and yes I'd love another child. But my husband doesn't make 250,000+ a year. He spends time with me and doesn't leave me at home to raise the kid and only stop in for nookie. He also helps with the house and SHOCK he changed diapers! God you darn moromon you. mad

Please stop abandoning your pets in my yard. It's called the pound or finding some one that can take care of them if you can't. stressed Domesticated animals can't live in the wild. They're domesticated.

It's been 2 weeks now. I would really like to go to the doctor. I'm sorry you think watching our baby and talking on the phone at the same time is difficult. DO IT ANYWAY, YOU *****!!!!!!!

KittyRedden I'm still having issues with my mother giving my two year old gum.

She also gave Raelin sugar-free ice cream when she was still on stage one baby foods. ARG! I'm praying she doesn't do the same thing with my son when he gets older. The family I babysat for last year and this year, who live in town, let their youngest kid have gum. Or rather, the mom won't let him have gum, but the dad will. And I don't think the mom knows. I remember her telling the other kids not to give the littlest one gum (he was like a year and a half at the time, a little older) but the dad let him chew on half a frigging gum ball. I was surprised he didn't choke. Argh. How that family raises their kids drives me nuts, and their Habitat For Humanity house is such a ******** mess because they have way too much stuff, not enough time and money and too many kids (blended family with 5 kids, so it can't really be helped, but still). Sometimes I see them doing stupid s**t and taking risks with their kids, and I wish CPS would come take the kids or send them back to their aunt's just so the parents can straighten their lives out. I feel sorry for the kids, to be honest.
