Wendi Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 It's been almost 4000 all day.....I'm slow. Of course, working gets in the way of posting. Or is it posting gets in the way or working. Two more Charlotte!!!!!! Yeh, it's pretty much guaranteed that if you only stay in the oldlings you won't come across the bitching and moaning that have crept into some of the other threads. Real life is enough stress, I don't want to come looking for it in my free time!I think that some people like agro, but I'm a complete pacific, so it's the oldlings for me every time. Yes - its got a bit unpleasant a few times this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Mad Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Next to some people, I'm hardly on here. LOL!! Oh, did I mention that I'm single and have no kids. Oh, and, I can get the MFC on my phone so when I'm in a sucky meeting, I'll get on here? I love my kids, my husband and my job (in that order!), but I can't help being a teensy bit jealous about the fact that you can do what you like when you like and are free to be on here so much!

leonita Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Happy Friday (evening!) my fellow Oldlings! it is SPRING here! about 55 degrees and SUNNY- finally! I just got back from a day of research at the big public library downtown. I'm a nerd! I love to hunt down facts in a library, in actual paper books, (as opposed to 'Google/Wikipedia/Copy/Paste/Turn-it-in-as-your-own-research' that seems to be quite popular with some Younglings.) soooo, what's new?

charlottechristy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hey Robi! Why is it that the gorgeous kids always think they are the ugly ones. I remember you went through this with him a few months ago too. He's so adorable. a very good...night? yes it's night already! i can see old oldlings tonight! hi MM, wendi, charlie...sarahlou! sorry i say hallo also to ppl from th eprevious pages...but i cannot catch up now! so son has come back from france, excited by the trip, he saw so many interesting things and he's amazed by what he visited. on the other hand...he sounds pretty sad about his 'look'. he says he's ugly, and nobody likes him. i think he's just very tired, and needs a good night sleep. but if his moaning goes on tomorrow...what shall i do? he seems very upset... oh oldlings the wise......i'm here for advice!!!

(not bad at rhyming!) Hi Robi - a crisis about looks is always difficult to handle. He wont believe you, as you are his Mum - and us Mum's think our children are lovely anyway. Point out his good qualities, and keep building them up - and if he feels he does things that are not great, help him to see how he can make a difference himself. In another year or two he will think he is the best thing since sliced bread!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 So what's everyone up to this weekend then? After watching Dr Who and going to the cinema tomorrow night, I'm back to auntie sitting for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlottechristy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just think though.....if I ever decided to start a family, I'm going to be so old that my kids are going to get away with murder. So, a little jealous about that. LOL!! But, I do love my FREEDOM! Of course, I do have two little furry boys that try to pull my off the computer constantly. One hates it when I sit at the computer. He just whines and whines until I get off. LOL I love my kids, my husband and my job (in that order!), but I can't help being a teensy bit jealous about the fact that you can do what you like when you like and are free to be on here so much!

(not bad at rhyming!) Hi Robi! I don't know what to say about your son. It must be that dreadful phase that all teenagers go through of hating the way that they look. Obviously, he's gorgeous, but you'll have a tough job persuading him to believe that. Maybe there are a few people who don't like him, it must be very rare in school to be liked by everybody, but he should try and concentrate on his true friends. They are the ones who know him best, so they're opinion is based on knowledge not on anything as shallow as appearance. Telling him it's just a phase would probably make him feel worse, but in reality, it's the truth. I wish that I had the solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
