phantastica: i hate when people try to do that... they don't understand that it's more likely to turn people away from their beliefs. i hope they chill out.


You - please stop having children. in the past 5 years, you've produced 4 children... you've been on government assistance since the first one. you spend most of your time complaining about having to work multiple jobs, and about how you never have money for anything. i promise, NOT having a child is MUCH cheaper than having another child, and i'm tired of hearing your complaints, when you won't do anything to prevent your situation from getting worse. and BTW, when you've got 4 kids, all under the age of 5 (one of which isn't even a month old) you do NOT have time to spend hours in a chat room on the internet, every day.

You - why is it that certain, not-so-great people are allowed to have as many kids as they can pop-out... and the rest of us, who would (supposedly) be great parents, aren't even able to have one? sometimes, i think You really DO have a sick sense of humor.

You - Thanks for listening to all my whining, lately. You've been a great friend, and i hope i haven't left your shoulder -too- soggy...

You - You're in college now. Freakin' act like it!! Watch your mouth when you come into my home, I don't appreciate that kind of language. Neither should you. Also, if you're so tired of all the "high school" drama, QUIT CAUSING IT!! When you have an infection, you could infect me and your brother...don't ask to come over! Also, there is a laundry mat on campus. Use it. You don't pay our electricity bill. We're tired of being taken advantage of.

You - I wish I could fix it all. I wish they would all realize that you are the most amazing person in all our lives. I wish they would all grow up and quit being petty and immature. Let's run away and change our phone #'s!! I love you!

You two - You are so great and I'm so proud of you. I'm praying that you will continue making healthy changes in your lives so that you can be here to see your grandchildren (future) grow up!! I love you!

You - Grow up and pay your own bills, buy your own gas, buy your own drink! It isn't going to kill you to walk to the counter and actually use your own money. She isn't a cash cow.
You - It is your own fault if you are where you are and only you can change it.
You - I do not want to hear details. ICK. I can't stand to look at him, much less have that mental image.

what fun...

You - i can only do my job the way you train me to. if something changes and i am not informed, it is unfair and unreasonable for you to ***** at me about not doing my job right! ugh.

You - i am proud of you for losing so much weight, but could you try to understand my struggle and not throw it in my face and tell me i just need to work harder?! grr.

You - i am not your maid. pick up after yourself. you are 23 years old, and we are nice enough to let you live with us, be grateful instead of a slob.

You - you made your mess. you chose to run away from it instead of stay and fix it. so don't be surprised that i am less than sympathetic to your plight. you reap what you sow.

You- Don't be surprised when I hesitated for a moment before giving you my support for joining the military. It reminds of the time you were going to move to Paris to study French, to Boston to study Art, or the Peace Corps. You have a tendancy to make huge plans, get everyone all worked up, and then forget about it. Think long and hard. This is the MILITARY. No backing out.
And of COURSE I'm behind you!

You- you get so worked up over the oddest things. You never look at the bigger picture in anything. But I love you and couldn't ask for a better best friend. You bring so much to the table, even from so far away. I miss you terribly. You should come on home now.

You- I hate your wife. Even though you are a giant baby and your behavior over the past few years has been deplorable, I can't help but hate your wife. I know that if you hadn't married her, you would still be speaking to at least one of your daughters. Shame on you for being such a weenie. Their mother is no doubt rolling over in her grave.

You~ All of you here on 3FC, thanks you for your support, I love you!!

Aww, WiW, that's sweet.

You - quit outsmarting the mouse traps. I don't want to live with you any more.

You - this job is not my life, and wanting a day off with my husband is not a crime. i think you can afford to give us a day off, for a special occasion. ANY other workplace would allow us to request time off, even when we DIDN'T spend hundreds of dollars on plane tickets to force the issue. i'm tired of only getting time off when YOU decide to close up shop for YOUR interests. i have a life, too, and i have interests that don't always fall on the weekends. you'd better figure that out, soon, otherwise i'll find a better job elsewhere... and good luck finding someone else who will work under these conditions.

you - are not helping my reach my goals by making me feel like crap about being overweight, it dosn't make me want to lose weight it makes me want to eat a cookie. you have no idea how hard this is.

you - are a burden on society and are not fit to raise a child, but society can't prevent you from popping them out and even though you like to think you are adult enough to make adult decisions, you don't have to be, and aren't an adult in any other way

That is almost identical to the post I was going to make just now.

only mine would include You: stop being a bully, it does not help me it makes me question whether or not I even want to be with you. it is not supportive, it is just mean.

Phantastica--try peanut butter in those traps!! Works like a dream.

You--give me a straight answer. I asked a question (twice) that could be answered Yes or No. Don't tell me we'll talk about it Friday. I need to know now and it isn't that difficult to figure out, but I need your input!

*sigh* i think it's a common one...

and it really stinks. (and what you would have included is pretty close to what i was thinking)

good luck with yours!

thanks, good luck with yours too.

hrmph! Boys!!

Phantastica - If PB doesn't work try a piece of poptart sounds goofy but I have caught quite a few mice with strawberry ones.

You! - you took your sons only friend, my son, away because I caught your older son doing something illegal. You are only punishing your youngest son. Do you know he cries at school almost every day? Do you know he has no one to play with? Do you know that he sits alone every recess and/or tries to play with children 3 years younger than he is so he isn't alone? Do you care? Shame on you for taking it out on him. You let your older son still run around with whomever he wants, go wherever do whatever, but your innocent little boy can't have the one friend he has had for the last 4 years. what you are doing makes me sick. I am so sad for your son, I want to hug him and tell him how sorry I am that he is being punished but I don't dare because he is scared of you and I don't want to get him in any trouble. Pull your head out and see what you are doing. Shame on you.
