days, and it did taste so very good.

My son had just started school and there were some kids who would take
his supplies, so I told him, if anyone takes something of yours-you
take something of theirs and then you tell your teacher why you did
what you did.

I also told him if it escalated and they put their hands on him to do
the same in return UNLESS IT WAS A GIRL! He was not to start anything
but he was not to back down either. So instead of him hitting a girl
he called her a bitch because she wanted to push him (turns out she
liked him). Of course he got in trouble in and out of school and I
had to re-evaluate what I said because kids listen TO EVERYTHING!!!!
I FELT SOOOOOO BAD!!!!

That's terrible. I have pictures of Whino in the park in
my head right now. Not trying to judge but that is the
picture I'm getting. Did anyone see you. If they did they
must have thought you had a serious drinking problem.

would you be meaning 'wino', one who drinks an excess of
wine? or did you mean someone who whines too much? maybe the
OP has a kid like that, so she needs that mid-day beer...
if i saw a soccer mom drinking from a paper bag, i wouldn't
assume she had a drinking problem. i wouldn't even assume that
the contents of the bag were alcoholic. there are parents who
don't want their kids to drink sodapop that do the same thing,
hiding that illicit Pepsi in the bag

Some of these chicks may explode from being soo perfect. All parents make
mistakes, need a break, bully a bully, and a list of other things.
If you haven't done anything wrong as a parent you may not be human. Mistakes,
emotion, and needing a break is just the begining of being a human being,
and a parent.
If those judging have made no mistakes, they should not judge others for
being human beings, but instead look at themselves.
Would they shatter like spidered glass should something in their perfect
universe go awry?

I live in SE Louisiana, and down here the only problem with that story is
the "hide it in a paper bag" part. Public beer drinking is pretty common
down here.

When my daughter went into Jr. High, she was being intimidated by a bully
(another girl). Threatening to beat her up, etc. I told her to call the
bully on it. "Fine, get off at my bus stop and we'll settle this right
now."

Gulp. Very stupid of me. Fortunately, it worked, and the bully backed off.
They became friends, even.
