Being almost 23, but acting like a toddler, does not look good on you.
Let me get this straight: other people are deluded idiots and their kids snowflakes for wanting elite admission but your kids completely logical and deserving for wanting the same thing?
Sigh… not gonna derail a perfectly good thread by putting this there, but I hope you come across it here and see the irony.
I don’t join in mean spirited group discussions . Really people, that was horrible and catty. I expect more from women of our age ( who probably don’t like their kids being bullied )
How can one person be the bastion of so much wrong information?
Please let him figure it out.
It appears that you are having a really bad day. You probably need to experience this so you can come to an understanding of the upset you caused in someone else’s life ,for no legitimate reason.I am beside myself . There was no need for what havoc you wreaked .
It there something in the water here?
Stop being so rude! It’s not going to get you anywhere
Please quit blaming everyone else for the position you are in. You turned down the scholarship, you chose to not accept the opportunity to play college soccer, you chose to run off with a druggie boyfriend. Now don’t complain about having to go to a trade school and work at a menial job!
Finally got a really good sushi place that’s not too far and has ample free parking! Oh and their desserts are as as their sushi! I am in heaven!
Hard day. Very hard.
I thought this day was hard when I saw when other’s feelings were hurt. It got a whole lot harder when a young man who used to be my daughter’s boyfriend contacted me about his mother being in hospice, He needed money and I know it was so hard for him to ask me , but I told him to come by and I would help him, no questions asked…anything else today is just pretty irrelevant and temporary.
You say that you want to make top dollar on selling your mom’s house. Great. However, leaving 45+ year old popcorn ceiling with glitter on it isn’t going to bring top dollar. Especially the black part of the ceiling by the air conditioning vent. The colors in the rest of the house are blah at best. Really, have you not paid attention at all when we have watched HGTV or what? ARGGGGGG!!!
Contrary to your assertion, he didn’t attend any of the NYC public magnets.
Even if he somehow managed to gain admission to any one of them(a BIG IF), I’d doubt he’d have lasted more than a semester(really being generous here) considering his poor grasp of basic knowledge/issues, poor work ethic(relying on daddy, hype, and flunkies to do the real work), and tendency to fly off the handle at the merest hint of difficulty/challenge.
When my husband (your son and brother) and I got married over 20 years ago we were poor and needed everything, yet no wedding shower from his large family. When we had our first child a few years later we were just getting on our feet and yet no baby shower from his family. So please quit inviting me to your baby and wedding showers. I will always be too busy.
I hate the airlines. The ticket went up $1000 while I was trying to book 2 tickets. So incredible they can rip people off like they do.
You guys are going to be OK. You’re good for each other.
I have never “ignored” a CC poster. Here goes.
Kicking the bus shelter, grunting, swearing, and shaking your fists will not make the bus come faster. Chill.
Really? Hotels in this major city are already 95% booked for graduation in May 2018?!? I didn’t even know you could reserve a room more than a year out. (Got one at a relatively reasonable price with a doable commute from a second ring suburb, phew! But nonrefundable.)
Thank you, Hail Storm! My 17-year-old roof has been declared a loss by the insurance company. I pay the $1000 deductible and get a new roof. So good and bad. New roof cheap, next year insurance rates will rise which would have happened without my help since all my neighbors were filing claims too.
