I went to a festival last night and walked around seeing the different crafts, the vendors who sold food, ate some of it and enjoyed just poking around. As I meandered through all the people there, and it was packed, I couldn't help but hear all the bickering of couples there together: like, lets go, I'm cold, or tired or bored. Also saying we've spent enough money alredy, or do you really need a $3.00 hot dog, you can make one at home. Oh, and those complaining about the music, what did they expect, it was an Irish Festival!!! It was awful, just bicker, bicker, bitch and moan. I never felt happier being alone with no one to answer to or have to please. I will say this though, my two husbands, God bless their souls, weren't that way and we had fun wherever we went. Many other couples there and the kids were having a ball.

Gosh, wouldn't it be (if not already) terrible for the children to immitate their parents! Perhaps the terrible 2s last longer than expected for some!

I can't stand seeing something like that either, Dotsie.
I remember going shopping with our oldest son. At that time he was two. He was crying and cranky. And maybe I looked out of sorts. I remember how a very old lady touched me on the arm and said, "I had 7 children, and the ones that cried the most turned out to be the smartest ones." It stopped me in my tracks. I was so grateful that she said that to me. I'll never forget it.
Maybe a kind word to an exhausted mom can help.

That is the funniest story Chatty..Kids are so innocent..no filters...they just tell it like it is..:)
JJ...what a heartwarming sentiment from your son...I love that he was able to say that to you..so many people think nice thoughts but fail to say them aloud...that was a real gift from your son...
