Boy, 8, Arrested for 5th Time in 4 Months {ParentDish}
Mar 4th 2011 7:25PM I just have a few questions - why did he just start lashing out the past few months?? When children do that it's usually because they are reacting to something that has happened to them. They said he's in a unit designed for kids with emotional or behavioral problems - did he start going there after the first arrest? He specifically asked to be taken to jail - What child does that unless they are afraid of something else? This article does not give the whole story and if any more information would be posted, that would be great instead of just speculation.
What to Do When You Only Have the 'Weird Feeling' He's Cheating {Lemondrop}
Dec 24th 2010 12:22AM I'm actually very impressed about the way you handled his cheating. I'm just very curious...how come he couldn't come to you with his problems? He had to go to another woman and dump his insecurities there. I mean, why didn't he just man up and approach you and just have a sit-down with you? If a marriage/relationship is about honesty and communication, why, if he loves/is in love with you, did he not think of you first or bring into account the damage it would do to your relationship? Not being mean, just curious. (btw, kudos for making it work out, you're a better woman than I am).

Home for the Holidays...Not This Year {Shelterpop}
Dec 23rd 2010 11:56PM To all the people that actually agree with this article - your mothers/fathers/parents would be ashamed....
As one commenter pointed out, all her excuses are just smokescreens for her selfishness. I come from an large family (15+ in the just immediate, not counting in-laws and cousins). I'm guessing from your article my tight-knit family is a lot bigger than yours, but for some profound reason, we are able to come from all over and spend xmas under one roof for a couple/few days.
You say it's the cold weather - then pack smarter in carrying all that stuff you need, maybe send it ahead of time. If you can afford to travel to South America, Hong Kong, and other various places, you have the money and time to plan ahead.
You say you don't like the hike in air fare - see the previous comment, that's absolute crap, you're just lazy.
You say you don't like the lack of time spent together because everyone eats too much, talks to much, laugh too loud, are doing things - the point of the holidays is to let loose and create merriment, DUH!!! And if they are running errands or something, offer to go with or help, there is much quality time to be had in hard work and bonding as a family.
You say you don't like being in a cramped house - first off, being cramped in a house with relatives who love you is not only nice, it's smart. Think of all that body heat, you would save on the energy bill. But seriously, my aunt and her husband do not like staying either, but they get a hotel nearby, just so they have somewhere to escape to. And since you obviously have the means to travel to these other countries (which usually cost an arm and a leg) you obviously have enough cash to dole out for a few days at a hotel.
You say you and your partner are creating new memories - okay, so now you have someone in your life, that's awesome, but not an excuse to not see your parents; half of my family have significant others or are married. They COMMUNICATE (omg, what a concept.....) and work out a plan that suits both families. For example, my partner and I have relatives in Maryland (his) and New York (mine). We decided that each year, we just alternate where we spend xmas (other holidays we COMMUNICATE and either do our own thing, or go visit relatives in one state) - yes we both got a lot of grief from our families for not being able to come one year, but then they understood and liked the fact that they would at least be able to see us and loved the idea of switching.
I'm not going to point out it's about the memories, because that one is obvious. I'm pointing out your lack of ambition to even want to be with your family unless it's convenient for you. It seems as if you don't want to deal with the hassle that comes with being in a supposed "close-knit" family. If being in a relationship or having a family were easy, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT. But no one now a days wants to put the work that's involved in maintaining these relationships (yes, there is work in relationships [shocker], it's not all peaches and cream).
However, if you don't want to visit them during xmas, that's your deal. But please don't write an article and try to rationalize/justify why not, because there are many options and several ways to deal with each of your "issues."
As another commenter pointed out, we have servicemen/women who cannot even be with their families for the holidays because they are NOT ALLOWED to come home - at least you have the freedom to choose.

The Carrie Prejean Papers {Politics Daily}
Jun 19th 2009 11:20AM i'm not condemning her, nor am i singing her praises like everyone else is - i'm pointing out that people keep defending her even after she was outted as a liar - moreover, the one's that are "looking to take her down" are those on one extreme side - the other side is making her look like a saint - she didn't do what she was supposed to do, put up an attitude and lied. sorry, but she gets fired for that. however, the real sad truth is that in this country you can sue for anything, and possibly win. so even if she did win the lawsuit, does that make her right? No. A man who was robbing a house sued the family he was stealing from because he got locked in the garage for a week on accident - guess what? the robber won the lawsuit - i'm not kidding.
Prejean is a product of the value of most of our society today - she didn't do her job, she got fired, this didn't go in harmony with what her world view was so she sued. and now we wait and see the outcome.
and no, i'm not perfect either, never said i was, but i will call you out and tell it like it is.
The Carrie Prejean Papers {Politics Daily}
Jun 19th 2009 11:06AM you actually brought up a good point, sir. I'll see if i can answer this one:
i think supporters of gay marriage are more concerned with the legal issues that come from such a union - for example, a man who's wife is in the hospital has legal rights to see her as family, because they are married. however, for a lesbian/gay couple, if one of them is in the hospital, they have no legal right to see their spouse, married or not as some states do recognize/legalize gay marriage. and if i'm correct, homosexual partners that are married are not privy to spousal priviledge like hetereosexual partners are. So to answer the gay marriage question, the lack of equal protection and rights are what is being clamored as unjust.
for the polygamy part of the question - i personally think that after 3 million and some odd years of evolution, we, as a species, have evolved enough to not act like feral animals and rutting all over the place. i, personally, believe that having multiple partners is wrong because it means that one person isn't special to you or worth it. even so, with multiple partners, you can never treat one as equal or more special than the other - it's more work, i don't know how mormons do it....
but i have no religious/political affiliations - so i just state what i see and think - Dardom, i await your reply, you put forth a good question out there
The Carrie Prejean Papers {Politics Daily}
Jun 19th 2009 10:50AM are you one of those people that stands on the street corner w/ Bible in hand trying to convince people that Doomsday is near? cuz seriously, you just keep talking about values and act like she shouldn't have had her crown taken away.
i understand she's not perfect - but she slacked on her duties and when questioned about them, she told falshoods. sorry pal, you're defending a flake.

Jun 19th 2009 10:44AM Dude - she wasn't fired for her beliefs - the girl who replaced her expressed that she even had the SAME beliefs as Prejean, yet she still has the crown.
Facts are facts - she didn't do her job and she lied when called on it. Last I checked you get fired in the work world for that.
