JQ- That's great that Moy Moy can go to an all day kindergarden. How perfect that it's right near your job and her older bro will be there. See God is good all the time. It sounds like you have set a good founadation for your boys and will do the same for Moy Moy and she will follow in her brothers foot steps. I think some kids just get lazy, especially if they are naturally smart and just feel they don't have to give as much effort if they can pass without it. That's great about your younger son. How come you don't want him to skip? Is it for materity reasons? I can understand that. Otherwise I was thinking what if he gets bored with his class work since he is ahead and learns that he too can be lazy and slack off and still get good grades. I know you have a good reason for your decision and not trying to say you should do otherwise. I was just curious (nice way of saying nosey :rofl: ).

Tee- Just think when you are a teacher..you can travel all summer! Just hang in there until you graduate! Oh and you GOTTA take some pictures of your taco making lesson, partly for fun and partly to teach me!

Happy a good weekend all!

Gurl, I didn't take pics but we had so much fun... :)

Hey B, they wanted him to skip and I felt that he should stay with his own grade, not for any reason except I felt he would be overwhelmed. That happened to me in 7th grade and I went to the Gifted and Taleted Classes, well they were hard as heck. I still got a,b,and c's but it was just to much for me and eveyone was counting on me and pressuring me because of that high achievement.

Then when he moved to the new school last year his grades slipped. So it was a good lesson for hm, try as hard as you can, his head got big because he knew they wanted him to skip and he stopped trying as hard :bonk:

It was funny reading this because my son DEFINITELY could have been put in a gifted classes but I was afraid for the other students because of his negative behaviors so I didn't let him go...

Oh I see. You know first hand what it's like. I see where he gets his brains from. I've just heard people say for maturity reasons they don't want their kids to skip, so I was just curious if that was your reasoning too. That's good he learned his lesson. I'm still excited Moy Moy gets to go all day now. That is great!

Ok everyone (or anyone that wants to give their 2 cents), how do you deal with hubby's friends back in JA asking for things? He has one friend that has already asked for a new phone and $100. He asked hubby for the phone and hubby just ignored him (it was visa FB he asked), then he just asked be tonight if I could send $100 and just keep it between him and I. Vaughn has a big family and none of them have even asked for anything, so I think this friend is out of line. I'm happy to help anyone that is important to my husband but I just feel he is thinking I have an endless supply of cash. What makes it hard is that he sees our pictures on FB going to all these places, so how do I say no? I told I can't because hubby and I aren't working this year and are just spending time together before we get serious about work and kids. I'm thinking that he's thinking we aren't just sitting at home so if we have money to go places then why not for him? I'm sure some of you have encounted this before and just would like to know how you handled it.

I haven't gone through it but seriously, I would just say no. V is not working and we are planning for our future and just don't have it to give!

I just said NO. I don't have it. He's not working and money is tight. You will encounter that ####### over and over again.

Honest, it pissed me off to no end.

You are my twin I swear! :rofl:

I think this is right. For my hubby we put Montego Bay (city) St. James (Parish), and of course JA (country). It's a little different then what we're used to, but it works. Don't over thing (even though I think most of us did). These forms and this process will drive you nuts and have you overthinking every dyam thing. Just ask if you have any other questions.

LOL.. I'm lovin' all the just say "NO" responses. It's true though and my fear was if I said yes once then that would be eat. How could I then say no. Especially a friend. One thing if his family is in trouble, but we don't have the money to help neighborhood friends.

I feel for you with hubby in JA. It's so true now that I live with hubby I think how did I ever deal with just going and visiting him every few months. You get spoiled real quick with having them live with you, even though you may want to choke them at times..lol These times apart really make you realize that even though they may annoy they are worth it in the end!.

Amen!

Good morning, All.

I WISH people would ask me instead of my husband. I would ask a bunch of questions first, to where they would feel so uncomfortable that they wouldn't even WANT to ask again unles for a very good reason.

Such as:

What do you need this money for?

Is this something that came up all of a sudden (illness) or something that you know you'll need (food)?

What are you doing to make money?

What have you been doing with your $ such that you don't have enough?

Why were you driving the car if you couldn't afford to repair any damages you caused? (Don't get me started on this one. I only let people borrow my car if I know they're responsible drivers and/or have insurance to fix any potential damages.)

What do you plan to do in case this situation happens again?

So I have all this mentally prepared, but haven't had the opportunity to use it as people don't come to me. Instead, they go to my [overly] generous husband.

I've let him know: it's one thing to help old people and children. It's another thing when an able-bodied person is not doing anything to make money and just expecting donations. So now if he wants to help certain people in certain situations, it comes out of his own funds and not the household budget.

-------

Something I found humorous:

I kept in touch with one person (or, he kept in touch with me) for years after I spent a month in Africa (Gambia, Ghana, Senegal). I remember the time he asked me to send him sneakers. The part that made me laugh was that he didn't want ANY sneakers. He wanted a very specific new type from Nike. I had to laugh (and say no) because I wouldn't even buy myself sneakers that expensive.

The moral of nat's story, if you have to say "no" to someone, let her do it so she can finally use it on someone :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Girl.....We tried to get her to sign her parental rights away, same letter you emailed me. But she wouldn't. I wanted Eric to stay until he got all that out of the way. But he wanted to come. So now here we are. He went to where her parents live today, said noone was there. So he is going to go back later today and tomorrow. So we will see how that goes. I don't even know the girl,but can't stand her.

Im praying for yall

Well, Eric can't find his baby momma's where abouts. So he will have to go the courts to get an affidavit. Don't ask me, but his father knows someone who works there and that is what they said. You know, when you right your right. I told that man, not to come until he got everything straight with that woman. Did he listen, HELL to the NAW. Now he trying to rip and run and get everything done before he returns on the 3rd.

Don't think we need the letter for interview, but we will need it for her to leave the country.

Another Mama Jew on the way!!!!!

I don't blame you. The real little ones are too needy. 3rd grade sounds like fun! You can actually get some teaching in.

Wow I wish I was in school and upset about a 3.91. That boy is loco!

Sure tell me the brand and name of the phone you like. Ask and you shall recieive right? SMH

Hope know you enjoyed your massage.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooo frustrating. I hope getting an affidavit from the court is enough. I'm sorry you have to deal with this nonsense.
