Where did you get the idea from me it could be disasterous? It was quite a good experience. Well, I meant it could be disastrous for *us*. I don't know much about Cubs myself, but it doesn't sound as if they could provide the right mix of organisation and tolerance(!) to meet my son's needs (which are more extreme than we've been discussing here). From what you and Nikki have described there just seem to be too many factors working against it. So I was thinking that my husband was maybe being over-optimistic. I wasn't meaning a put-down of your groups or of Cub groups in general! All the best, Cailleach In article .com, says... Nikki wrote: My husband had been fondly thinking of Cubs or similar as something we could beneficially get my son involved in, but from what you and Banty are saying it could be disastrous! Good luck, Cailleach Where did you get the idea from me it could be disasterous? It was quite a good experience. *Anything* can be disasterous if one doesn't know what to do. Banty |

But it seems to me that people are less likely to comment on a boorish grown up. I wonder why that is? although generally speaking the definition of "ill behaved" will vary depending on age and mental status to some extent. So? Seems pretty ill behaved to me to go around telling people they "better take this **** seriously" and they better "keep [their] kid out of [your] sphere of influence," too! -hillary (sphere of influence?

Dh usually can't stand it when I do, but it's a vent for my snarky moods. Nan |
