How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child?

They're. And I don't have any way of knowing if anyone else reports stuff, I just know that I don't.

I know where she got her name too. Apparently her mother is Irish. Ha!

Wait a sec! How does a poster know who's reporting whom?

That is exactly what my daughter's looked like, different colors. I have no digital photos so I would have to scan or take a picture of a picture.

I think your children would be better off having me for a teacher than you.

Are you accusing me of not being truthful? Please elaborate.

You have eluded to having a lot of money several times on another thread Myshka. If you're as financially well off as you lead people to believe...it is charmed IMO(not that I'd choose it but good for you). Correct me if I am wrong please.

"Your story is inconsistent. But maybe not, maybe just bad accounting/money mgt."

What inconsistancies? I don't claim money management to be my forte either LOL. Quite the opposite...we struggle to focus on a day that is much beyond today financially. I admit to having faults but that particular one hasn't killed me yet.

"Right. Kids need to grovel for what they get. LOL."

I never said that and don't agree with the statement. I do believe they should not be handed everything in life; especially not things that are an opportunity to teach them dedication, responsibility and appreciation. That is just how I feel about it. I only make my daughter grovel for Roasted Pepper, Potato and Egg Salad(her favourite).

Again, I have not said I absolutely would not help, or foot the bill etc. I said I am not convinced it is a good thing to do and am do not want my children to end up being spoiled and unable to navigate through their own life without a parent to assist. It is something we are deciding as it comes but aren't sure we will or will not do.

When a poster says "I reported that!", then you know.

My grandmother was half Irish, but I don't think she would have considered "banshee" a tribute to her. It must mean something else, don't you think?
