What about eating issues?
| Fri, 06-10-2005 - 2:24pm |
We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?
My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

I understand and I will probably feel the same once the kids are in school and we have different things going on. But right now, if Aspen is being a pita, bedtime cannot come fast enough and I am a lot more apt to come up with some kind of 'errand' at the end of the day when dh gets home. I always try to make her happy, but there are plenty of days when nothing I do is enough (geez, I remember my mom saying that!).
The converse is true as well...if she is being all funny and cute I'm apt to let bedtime slide a bit if we are hanging out having fun.
But today? Dh cannot get home fast enough. I am dying of a head cold and the kids are sorta sick too yet spoiling to go outside and swim. I just don't have the energy today.

It is a poor inference. It might have been a good inference if she had said that out of town guests didn't want to be with him at all.
My parents needs breaks from my kids too. And their frustrating or tiring attributes aren't anywhere near consistent. My parents see right past many of those attributes and behaviors and dismiss them .. yet they still need a break.

Yes, I read that comment, and am certainly not the only one who felt that any parent saying their child is "the most loved and cherished child there ever was," particularly when said parent is responding to someone who has just said that THEIR child was PLANNED as evidence that said child was loved, is not putting anyone down - it's another way of saying "I couldn't possibly love him more if he HAD been planned."
So what did I say this time to get lumped into an interpretation of what someone else said?
Thanks for the clarification. And please don't tell me to lighten up. I obviously didn't get your meaning. I read it over *several* times before I posted. Which is why I used the "confused" icon. And I wasn't the only one confused and taken aback by your quote (I believe it was referenced by someone else on the board as well).
And you don't need to shout my name.
