1) ..Read your kid's journal/diary? What if you suspected they were up to something, would you do it then?
2) ..Give your number to someone based solely on appearances? For example a guy (or girl for you guys) asks for your number in the grocery store after you spend a minute squeezing produce. On the flip side, would you let a friend set you up on a date without knowing anything about his/her appearance?
3)..Go on a second date with a nice guy who had really bad breath? Or bad teeth? What if he was incredible in every way, but he lived with is parent/s?
4)..take your kid/s on vacation with you and a SO. Or would you prefer alone, getaway time to solely connect?
Would you rather:
vacation in the Amazon, experiencing the exotic jungle terrain, sleeping

Hi Pac, Nice qns..I will start
Okay still living with their parents.. depending on circumstance if he is living for a set time for some specific reason I would think it is fine. some families actually dont mind having kids with them untill they find a partner and move out.
"I am so glad you were able to go and celebrate! Did he bring you a piece of cake with candles? hehe..."
Actually NO! But he was great with everything else. Booking tickets for broadway show, booking a nice hotel and even a very very nice card and he even wrote something sweet in it (proving that one doesnt need experience to actually pick a great card). He was trying to go by himself and get a gift but then when we were in a mall last week I was looking at a very pretty shawl and he was like.. 'it is so nice on you' and I was hesitant to buy since it was expensive and he went ahead and bought it and declared it as my anniversary gift!. He was totally attentive and we talked a lot and felt like our real first vaccation.
I didnt mean to hijack your thread.. but yeah that was the weekend.. we walked around NY in cenral park and took lots of pictures..Now Iam eager to print some of those and may be send to our parents. But Iam sure I will get my cake next year ;-). I think it is great idea to actually plan something like this ( big or small budget- but have a concrete plan on how to spend that day)
1) ..Read your kid's journal/diary? What if you suspected they were up to something, would you do it then?
YES - absolutely. Bottom line is that I love him and want the best for him and not everyone else feels the same way so I want to know what is going on in his life. He doesn't have a diary but he does have a cell phone and I have looked at calls and text messages to make sure nothing fishy is going on.

On the flip side, would you let a friend set you up on a date without knowing anything about his/her appearance?
NO - would never hand out my number to a stranger. Most of the time when I am out I am with DS and if a guy approached me that way it would just flip me out. I would let a friend set up a blind date though.
3)..Go on a second date with a nice guy who had really bad breath? Or bad teeth? What if he was incredible in every way, but he lived with is parent/s?
No to all.
4)..take your kid/s on vacation with you and a SO. Or would you prefer alone, getaway time to solely connect?
Go alone whenever possible. Although if we were going on a family vacation I would want to take DS.
Would you rather:
I love the idea of the jungle. But probably what would happen is that I would go to a place that has a race - am working on such a list right now.
vacation in the Amazon, experiencing the exotic jungle terrain, sleeping in a mesh screen tent, and hiking the waterfalls
or
Be jet set to Paris or New York, shop till you drop (pretend like someone gave you shopping spree money), go to Broadway shows, nightlife and day spas?
or??? somewhere else???

1) ..Read your kid's journal/diary? What if you suspected they were up to something, would you do it then?
Only if I suspected that he was involved in something illegal or harmful.
1) ..Read your kid's journal/diary? What if you suspected they were up to something, would you do it then?
No. I've had ample opportunities but I resist. My boys have their computers in the family room and play online games w/ the other players on speaker. I hear it all and they forget I can hear it all. They leave their IM window on and their MySpace page open, then leave and I avoid reading it. But, they both tell me waaayyyy too much about their lives so if they started getting secretive I might change my mind.
2) ..Give your number to someone based solely on appearances? For example a guy (or girl for you guys) asks for your number in the grocery store after you spend a minute squeezing produce.
No. My home phone is unlisted for a reason.
On the flip side, would you let a friend set you up on a date without knowing anything about his/her appearance? Been there done that, it turned out OK. We just weren't a match.
3)..Go on a second date with a nice guy who had really bad breath? Or bad teeth?
Probably, if he was really great otherwise. Teeth can be fixed, so can bad breath.
What if he was incredible in every way, but he lived with is parent/s?
Uhhh...maybe depending on how long he's been with the parents. Never moved out- no way. My X has his parents living with him now, so ........
4)..take your kid/s on vacation with you and a SO. Or would you prefer alone, getaway time to solely connect? Absolutely, but only once or twice a year and not during a time period that is tradionally a family vacation time. M and I tried doing the Mexico thing with mixed results and would love to go skiing with all our kids once a year, but that's a ways in the future I think. The two of us get away alone about once a month so we're getting plenty of connecting time.

Sounds great until I think about the reality of bugs, snakes, no running water.....

Since I just went to Paris in March, yeah I'm more a jet set to anywhere kind of girl. M has a meeting in Jan in Greece and I so want to be able to go with him but the timing is really bad for me to get away.
or??? somewhere else?? M and I will ski anywhere.
