Yeah, I agree that the teacher saying that your daughter was "in trouble" is bothersome. And I know it's heartbreaking to see your daughter so upset. But whether she had a time out in the classroom or in the office, wouldn't make a difference to me. A time out is a time out no matter the location. I would be more concerned with how they talked to your daughter about the situation.

My son is 6 months old and 23 pounds. He's definitely a chub. Babies are supposed to have fat. It's a bit strange that you would be so offended. You should embrace your LOs chubbiness!

Wasn't there a thread a while back where an exhausted pregnant woman was thinking about re-homing a dog? And didn't everybody go nuts on her, saying she was selfish and an awful person? Not one person made a joke about killing the dog. I'm not a dog person, but I would never make a joke about killing a dog. So why would it be okay to joke about killing a cat? Seriously people. Get yr shit together.

What a weird thing to say.

If people stop opening their doors for strangers, strangers won't have to resort to knocking on doors, but instead can get their meal/shelter from a legitimate place without making everyone else uncomfortable in their own homes. Who are the ones who think its okay to open their doors to anyone? Have you absolutely nothing to lose? Are you that naive and caught up in your own immaturity? I'm sure it will ensue now, tiresomely. It will continue until more people tell you to go away and at last you find another board who will tolerate you. But for now, you are just tiresome and immature.

Haha! This post is so funny! Love it! Thanks for lightening my mood.

Hey dont talk to my special best friend that way

Hey, you know what? You're awesome.

People don't seem to get the sarcasm. I'm a very nice person, actually. I've tried to tone the sarcasm down a bit, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Ha thanks! No I recognize your sarcasm and we are on a lot of the same threads and at first I was not sure (its hard to tell with some of your posts) but you seem like a fun open person! Do I detect a bit of "earth child" from you? Please dont take offense, you just seem very relaxed and natural. I love how I can "pick this up" through an internet forum. HA!

Ha! I'm what you might call a "free spirit." And thanks... I know I can come across as mean sometimes but I usually realize when I'm in the wrong... and try to make amends. And sarcasm is just fun. It lightens the mood a bit... unless somebody takes it the wrong way of course. And I can't believe I just used an emoticon.

How dare you say such a thing to me. I'm very hurt.

Hhhmmm, I dunno. My sarcasm meter pegged on that one. I'm guessing he's not changing to anonymous.

Yes. T'was sarcasm.

PP, obviously we are not talking about girl scouts. Why do you have to be such a dumbass? Your act is horrible.

Seriously. Whatta dumb ASS. What the fuck... girl scouts? What the hell kinda joke IS that, right? Whatta dum dum. That act IS horrible. HORRIBLE. Who the hell would joke about something like that? This is a serious discussion. PP, you are RIGHT ON. Girl scouts casing the joint? Could you IMAGINE? My daughter is in daisy scouts... it would be like a kindergartener plotting to rob a house. What a DUMB joke. Who jokes about that kinda shit anyway? YOU don't. You know why? Cuz you got your shit together. Amirite? Who the hell needs a sense of humor? Seriously. That PP was a lame ass all the way, man.

ALL. THE. WAY.

Go for it! It's not as if your kids will be so loud that people won't be able to hear the music. People will enjoy themselves no matter what. The only thing to be careful of is people getting drunk around the kiddos.

Ok well my home and family will be safe because of my so called over-reaction and you might have a dangerous situation come out of no where since you cannot imagine bad things actually happening. I would rather be preventative then sorry about not doing it later on.

Such a typical response. Just because somebody isn't as paranoid as you, they're completely irresponsible and "cannot imagine bad things happening." It's possible to be cautious without being paranoid.

Im not paranoid I am smart and read people well. Big difference. And yeah if some sketchy person (and yes they are sketchy bc they come to my door asking for money) I would not open it if I did not know who it was. I rarely do that if my DH is not home. My choice not yours...go away now.

In my earlier post I stated that I don't open my door for strangers. So I'm making the same decision as you. I just don't believe that every person that comes through my neighborhood is casing the joint. And unless somebody is acting very suspiciously... I don't call the cops. Your posts just come across as overly aggressive and defensive. Don't get so bothered with the fact that I called you out on your reaction to the PP. Now let's be super best friends.

Ha, but you called me paranoid. And trust me I am the farthest from it. Not like it matters on here though you dont know who I am. I dont call the cops either but if someone did this I would call the non-memergency line. It might sound defensive because I am defending my position. Ok super best friend!

Okay, I take back my paranoid statement. I do this because we are super best friends now.

What the hell are the cops gonna do? I live in the suburbs of Maryland... in an upper middle-class neighborhood, and we get people coming through here all the time. There have been so many times where I haven't answered the door because I know that somebody is looking for work... or trying to sell something and I don't want to deal with it. If I called the cops on every suspicious looking person, the cops wouldn't take me seriously anymore.

I had one scruffy looking guy wanting to cut my lawn. He looked really shifty and kinda freaked me out. And no, I didn't call the cops... I just made sure my house was nice and locked up.

And as for the guy asking for money... well... he probably was hoping for a hand out. With that said though, keep your doors locked and don't answer the door unless you know the person.
