I totally agree with you about becoming thicker skinned. I have totally gone from a girl that went with the flow, to someone that really stands up for myself, family and friends. It feels really good to have a back bone!
Me too. It seriously makes me ill when I hear other moms compare their kids to others like pieces of Grade A meat~Quote:

Barf.
Agree, Studies show that typical developing children will level off by third grade. So even if a child learns to read at 2 and another by 5 they will catch up by third grade (I'm not talking about gifted kids OR kids with learning disabilities) Just saying, all this push kinda levels off:)Quote:

I keep telling her that my boys get to do Scout and Sports at 6yo and Swimming at 4 or 5 and Karate at about 8yo... they said by then my kids will be to lazy to do anything.
By the way loved the taco comment! I have a SIL prob but feel bad for having it cause I adore all mine BUT.....She has one girl and ended up re-marryng and just had another girl (she badly wanted a boy:) Buhahaha) Anyway, she flat out stole the name Dh and I were going to give our "girl"! It was the ONLY name we would bring up with each and every pregnany "if it's a boy, it's this if it's a girl the name is this" SO when she found out she was having a DD she said "I'm gonna steal your name since I really like!" :mad: So out of character for but this has really put a dent in our relationship but she doesn't know it. DH told me last night that he actually hates that name and it's actually really ugly:rofl:. My whole family was shocked cause it was known as being my name ( By the way, its a unique name so it's not like she just thought of it last minute)! Sorry had to vent...:hair:I burn up when I think about it!!! When my DS's met their new cousin they told their aunt that was our name!!!! i actually don't like the name anymore
WHOA Glittergirl, name stealing within the family is a cardinal sin, I think. At least you are over that name though!
DoulaMama, glad I made you smile! :bigsmile:

But his name was James and I wanted to use it for a middle name. My brothers son was born 1mth before I got pregnant and when he called they said they couldn't find a good middle name. I mentioned my first sons middle has been picked since I was 9yo. He even mentioned yes I know you are going to name him after grandpa. The next day my bio-sister called to tell on my SIL. I may have said a few bad words and screamed a lot... When I found out I was pregnant I was going to use the name anyways but hubby said he liked it for a first name. I didn't tell anyone the name until he was born and I sent out pictures and the name. My SIL had the nerve to call me at 10:45 at night to yell at me about using her sons middle name. I was even more pissed because it was my first night home, I had just fallen asleep, and the phone wokeup the baby. I really let her have and told her (with bad words and a loud angry voice) that she could ask anyone in my family about the names I had picked for my kids, look at my journals, the poem I wrote about my grandpa, the million letters my grandpa and I wrote to each other, and that she could check her own emails about the names that my lil sister and I wanted for our kids (I gave up on Max when my sis said it is her favorite boy name). Right before she hung up she said "Well I used it first so your son doesn't have a name". In emails she says "Your son and Charles" and never uses the name James.
Sometimes I wish my bro would take his pants back and show his wife who is boss because she is so controlling, 10x's worse then my mother.
Jeez, Purple, I am so sorry! How awful. I just don't get it when family is not on your side. My parents may not have done everything right, but they did teach me that once someone becomes a part of your family through birth or marriage, they are a part of your tribe and you love and protect them NO MATTER WHAT. Well, stick up for yourselves, and that's the best you can do, kwim?
that's exactly my thoughts! I know i don't "own" the name but you would think people would be more creative and actually come up with their own names!! Ours had a meaning behind it and there was a reason we picked it!!!! She just decided to pull it out of her a** and use it cause it's a pretty name! And the fact that she had to rub it in that I don't have a girl so the name better get used....I was like "Helllllooooo we are not done having kids" In fact if she would have asked for my blessing, that would have been better. But YES I'm done with the name....I loved it for 14 years but it's dead to me now!!!Quote:
