very FUnny.:D
(only two more days until Thursday)
Having Scandinavian parents, I grew up with hearing my mother mutter "Uffda" all day long!:D Curse word???????? NOT! Every Scandianavian gift shop has coffee mugs, napkins, dish towels, etc. with Uffda! printed on them. Please!
As for those wicked, selfish, thoughless parents.....You're right Richard! "It's all about me, all the time, every day, in every way......ME, ME, ME!!" I'm sure some sort of arrangements could be made so that the child and the dog and the "allergic" kids could be accomodated! Grrr!:mad:
Another horror/dumb parent story.Quote:

cross my heart!!!! true story!!!!
a co-worker was recently divorced and was having problems with her daughter (she always told me her daugher was 'her best friend and buddy...')
the 13 year old daughter was caught smoking, ditched school, ran away from home, caught stealing, took the mom's jewelry, took her car, lit the storage area of the apartment building where
they were living on fire-causing them to be evicted..
after a few months of silence, she called me to say 'hi' and chat...we spoke for a few minutes and then told me that she
had bought the same kind of truck that I owned..
I asked her if she planned on going camping in it and she said, 'No, i bought it so i can transport the dirt bike i am buying my daughter...i want to get her into something she likes so she won't be in so much trouble....'
A DIRT BIKE!!
i guess she picked up on my confusion and told me that she 'wanted her daughter to have all the things that i didn't have when i was a kid....'
when you can't keep your kids under control, give them expensive toys, clothes, money........buy their love!!
god, i am sorry i didn't know about this when i was growing up!
i should have a car, motorcycle and a house for all the hassles i gave my parents......my sibs beat me to it!!!!;)
back to the original thread......
i hope the parents do go to court over the dog in class, the judge grants an order to keep the dog in class, and the parents go thru a protracted court fight costing them a bunch of money, so much that they end up dropping the whole case.
sorry, i'm mad!
uffda!
That whole "my child is my friend" and "I want them to have the things I didn't" school of parenting is just plain SCARY. My mother and father have made it quite clear that they are not our buddies. Even as adults, we know to treat them with respect.
Ahh yes, Soledad, but I'll bet your parents had some semblance of sanity too. You wouldn't believe what parents will say for their kid or what they will say at a conference and then turn around and do just the opposite when they get home.
Richard....you stole my outcome...BRAT!!:p :p
Richard that is amazing. :(
Soledad, that is how we were brought up too, but
even one of my 3 sisters has that buddy syndrome.
She has blinders when it comes to her "own" kids.
What about the parents who never let their kids take responsibility for their actions and the parents always bail them
out!
It's funny how each of the generations seem to change, at
least in my family.
I remember that my mom and I went out with one of my mother's friends and her daughter for lunch. The other mother was going on about how great it was to have a daughter, because it was like having a built in girlfriend. When we left, my mother and I got into the car and she said "I love you, Diana, and we have a special bond, but you are not my friend. You are my daughter and I am your mother, we are not equals."
I think it's one of the smartest things she's ever done.:)
That is unbelievable what some people would say!:mad: That poor kid has a disability and finnaly gets some "special help" from a service dog, and parents argue that the dog should leave! I bet they wouldnt be saying that if it ws their own kid.....:mad:
one word: UNBELIEVABLE!!! :mad:
no, make that 2 words: UNBELIEVABLE AND SELFISH! :confused: :(
Those parents are a bunch of stupid selfish morons! Almost no-one is so allergic to a small amount of dog dander that it should affect schoolwork, and if they are then that is a serious medical situation that would be solved by moving the allergic child to another class.
A friend of mine has Cerebral Palsy, and if anyone ever treated him that badly I would rip them to shreds. The poor boy has a hard enough time already, I wish there was a way that all of those parents could be in his shoes for a week.
When I went through my divorce, my daughter was two years old. My wise aunt told me at that time that it would be easy for me to become "friends" with my daughter since we would be alone, but she warned me to always remember that I am her mother first. It has been good advice, just like what your mother believes. :)Quote:

How appalling! The nerve of those parents! They honestly think they can take legal action and have the dog removed? Hope the talk to a lawyer first!!
