Nobody wants to talk about this, how come?

I don’t think there is anything you can do about the family member that is playing favorites with the kids. Iggert, did you have something in mind? I’m all ears!?

Scenario - A relative wants to purchase one of 5 children a very high priced item to “chear the kid up” and “for the birthday” in a couple of months.

The other children, both biological and blended, received a modest amount of money for their birthdays.

The parents of this group of children believe this will cause conflict between the children plus hurt feelings because the gifts aren’t similar.

How would you handle it?

How do you handle situations where relative obviously have their “favorite” in the bunch and hurt the other children in the process?

Help!

Here’s a peaceful protest in Portland Oregon - compliments of Two Babes and a Brain

The picture over on Two Babes talks about having “no Gods, no country, and no masters.” Then another sign is held up with the words “fuck the troops.” Then there’s another picture with flag burning going on and a mock set up of our troops being hung by the chain in uniform.

That’s REAL sweet, don’t you think? And everybody is worried about the boy in Alaska that held up a sign that said “Bong Hits for Jesus” ??? Gee, I wonder if Rosie will open her big mouth about THIS one tomorrow on the view!?? And Donald Trump has the nerve to say that President Bush in the worst President??

A bunch of idiots if you ask me and these photos are a clear example of why there will probably be another 9/11 in this country.

Here’s an open thread topic about breastfeeding over on Super Nanny Rules.

Niobe Swan is the foolish one. I suppose she thinks we should all walk around topless so the whole world can see what our boobies look like. For goodness sakes this is not the Garden of Eden before the devil tempted Eve and screwed Adam into taking a bite of the forbidden fruit. Keep your boobies to yourself. If I wanted to see another woman’s boobies I would subscribe to playboy or penthouse magazines.

Do you believe breastfeeding in public is appropriate? Why or why not?
