I didn't mention she crashed and needed a realllly big bandage on her hip. Takes after you...whata dork.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Psycho....I did NOT tell you to do THAT part!!! Sheesh, girl, ya gotta do these things RIGHT!!!

Good grief. I'll have to fly up there after I leave Texas to teach you how to chairboard.

**Good grief. I'll have to fly up there after I leave Texas to teach you how to chairboard. **

You're in Texas?! Are you visiting Logan...er...I mean, the Termite? Give that little pipsqueak a lovie from me, Grammie. Oh, and buy a mini skateboard for him.

btw...the only chairboarding you've ever done is the chair on your walker, ya old nanny goat.

All my love,

Psychogirl

[Brad’s Gramma]

No, Dear. I'm NOT in Texas....yet.

Soon, very very VERY soon. And yes, I'll add a big ole kiss from you to him, too.

And NO. I'm NOT buying him a skateboard!!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!

Oh, my goodness! I'm glad he wasn't killed. My husband says his sister did a similar thing, but they were in the driveway when she fell out. :-D

My parents would still be in jail if these busybodies had seen me as a kid. We went out of our way to inflict as much damage as possible in our often stupid antics.

Yeah I remember that my bros and I were into kicking each other in the shins there for a while...

[AnAmericanMother]

Me too!

It was in the driveway, and it was one of those big Detroit Iron cruisers - (Lincoln?) that had the rear "suicide doors". I opened the door and went plubph plubph plubph plubph face down hanging onto the handle, all the way up the driveway. Sheesh!

I'm a brunette but very fair skinned and I swear I bruise if things brush against me! And I was a tomboy, too, what with bikes, Tarzan swing ropes, mudball fights and Ty Cobb-style baseball, I always looked like I'd come in third in a axe fight. Thank goodness there wasn't DFACS then, or at least they were a whole lot less meddling than they are now!

I think you're right, if they existed, they weren't as bureaucratic as they seem to be now. And as someone said before, I don't know where the happy medium needs to be.

Parents want their children to be involved in physical activities in order to be healthy, and sometimes injuries happen. The alternative is raising a couch potato, which can lead to charges of abuse in this day and age if they child is obese. So, darned if you do and darned if you don't.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I changed doctors immediately.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Can we help you in any way?

Slightly off topic. This thread reminds me of when I moved into town and was looking for a new Primary Care Physician. While filling out the initial paperwork, I come across the question, "do you own a gun or do you have a gun in the house?". Has anyone else had this question posed?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Other poeple have posted the same.. I am not sure which thread though.

"Well, first I put Cody in the box, then I got in the box, then we roooooled down the hill. Then we went back up to the top and I put Cody in the box, then I got in the box and we roooooled down the hill again. Then next time we did it I made Cody take off his shoes."

Thank you for the chuckle. :^)

No problem! I got a million of 'em, folks! :-)

I used to have a friend who was black. I spanked my son on the butt with an open hand, no more than 5 swats. He got bruises. She spanked/beat her son with a belt, ruler, wooden spoon, spatual, fly swatter, whipping board, or anything else she could get her hands on and she hit any part of the body she got ahold of (butt, legs, back, shoulders, head.) She would whip him until SHE got tired. Rarely left a mark on the kid. If anyone looked, I would've been seen as the abusive mother. I know that complexion has a LOT to do with how visible marks are going to be.

Thank goodness for small favors.

A little over 3 years ago a friend of mine (my daughter's godfather) got a call from CPS about my bad parenting. In the end it was a matter of she and another of her busy-body friends didn't like the idea that kids were welcomed at the establishment where we were on a Saturday afternoon.

[Gabz]

We have recently moved and need to find a new primary care physician - I assure you I will not answer that question if it is there.

[Gabz]

You are correct.

A funny aside. My former next door neighbor was black and her husband Hispanic, when we moved in their little one was still in diapers. My husband had gone to HS with her brother, so they knew each other. One day she caught the toddler teasing our puppy through the fence in the back yard and gave him a swat on his diaper clad butt - for the next 10 years that dog hated that woman. It was the funniest thing, the dog totally disliked that woman. And she knew it. We had some funny conversations about it. When the dog died this past February, she was just as devastated as I was. And the former toddler came up to me and told me he said a prayer for my doggie who liked him so much.

More times than not I can't catch my little pale skinned blond kid to swat her butt when it needs it - let alone do enough damage to cause a bruise on her.
