[-]I dont know why I try so hard in class. Pretty much whatever I wright I will get an A. I always put all this thought behind everything I do, even the most simple essays. My geology teacher called to tell me that I am doing wonderfully. Right now I am up debating between like 10 options for a CAUSE AND EFFECT essay. Tell me to just pick the easiest one and go to bed!

[-]I thought it would be fun to videotape dc and the nanny. I asked her if it was okay and she said yes. Then, she asked me how long I have had the videocamera for. Does that seem like an odd question for her to ask?

[-]I need a good title for this paper, and does it look ok? Glacial Effects Glaciers are responsible for the largest amount of shaping to our surface landscapes. The ways that they shape our land are many. First it is important to understand what glaciers are. A Glacier is a large mass of ice that forms when snow accumulates and recrystalises on land. There are 4 main types of glaciers, Ice Sheets that cover large bodies of land such as Antarctica, Ice Caps which cover high plateaus, Valley Glaciers that are formed in high V shaped mountain valleys with streams flowing through them, and Piedmont glaciers that cover bases of steep mountains that were formed by valley glaciers that flowed down and remained frozen. They form and expand, flow ...

he's also very nice! he's just hopping around the apartment right now, and he just stops to chew on something strange, like tape, and then for no reason hops really quickly over to somewhere else, and then gets really quiet like I"m not going to notice he's near the electrical wires... he's just kooky. And he will ONLY let me pet him in his enclosure. Right now? No way, he's Adventure Rabbit.
[ Reply | Options ]he sounds cute. my female is like that about being pet only in her cage...i think she's obsessed with thinking that i'm trying to catch her and put her back in there and i've never done that.
[ Reply | Options ]it must just be a rabbit thing. the enclosure is their safe zone so it makes sense, it's just -- come on, rabbit! you know it's me! also, he does this thing where he does a long run and then a flying leap into his litterbox. like, across the whole enclosure. not necessary, he can get in there with just a short hop. but sometimes he just has to show off.

[-]My brother is getting married this summer in Oregon. I have not met his fiancee. He wants my DS (3yo) to be ring-bearer, but has no role for my 5 yo DD as they already have another flower girl on the bride's side. Would you let him use DS knowing that it would hurt DD's feelings? I know the wedding is not about me and my kids, but I do not want DD to be hurt.

really - it is your brother and your dcs are not the only kids in the universe (well apparently yours) Grow up. Your brother has enough stress right now.
[ Reply | Options ]No way. My 5yo dd would be crushed, and you absolutely should reserve the right to preserve harmony within your family. besides, you have to be an idiot to want a 3yo in your wedding

OP: My brother told me that his fiancee "has enough little girls in her life that she didn't need my dd in the wedding"... I feel I have a right to protect my dd from this kind of insult. It would be ok if they didn't ask for my ds... it is not nice to include one child and not the sibling. I have made up my mind already to tell him it would hurt dd too much and so ds will also be sitting in the audience with us. I was just checking here to see if my reaction was crazy, not necessarily to change what i will do.
[ Reply | Options ]Sounds to me like you are the one who is insulted. Why are you causing problems for your brother? Nice way to start off with his wife btw.

OP: I wrote only the original post, this reply, and one other. Some people seem to think I have written many replies here asking for special treatment for my dd. This is not the case. I am simply saying that my DS will not be playing a role, so that my DD is not streaming tears the entire time because she is TOO YOUNG to understand that it is not about her.
[ Reply | Options ]i don' tthink she's too young to understand it's not about her. you cant make the whole world "fair" on her behalf.
[ Reply | Options ]Sorry but SHE IS FIVE! Geez...time for her to have a bit of disappointment in her life. Explain to her that each side of the family chose one person to be in the ceremony. Plus lots of people thing younger the better..maybe bride has a 3 year old she wants to walk down with your ds. You're going to turn your dd into a spoiled brat.

Can you comprehend that this just might not be the OP? Cause it isn't. You're an angry pest.

"Insult"? Look, life isn't always fair. Ring bearers are traditionally boys, and the flower girl is related to the bride. I don't know if your DD will have a problem with it, but you do. You need to grow up already.

I can't understand why you think THEY should be including both your children. It's their wedding! This is your problem. If you don't want your daughter to feel left out, tell them you don't want your son to be ring bearer and then no one's hurt. It's not up to you to tell them who they should and should not involve.
[ Reply | Options ]Why the heck are you looking at it as "insult". She doesn't know you. Why the heck shouldn't she choose a little girl who is special to her?? Why should your brother not have your son just because you are trying to save her from "insult". That is so ridiculous. You are creating headaches for the bride when they are trying to be fair.

No. 3 yo won't know this was even an option. 5 yo would be hurt. I would tell him "i know it's not about me, but I don't want to hurt DD so if there is no room for her, that's ok, but then DS will not parttake either"
[ Reply | Options ]I'd say DS is not old or mature enough to handle and leave it at that. I have older DD too and she would be crushed as well. It's easier to attend just as guests anyway.
[ Reply | Options ]no. there are so many ways to incorporate kids that i find it hard to believe that he can't find a role for dd.
[ Reply | Options ]I would. In fact my brother is getting married this fall and has included my ds but not my dd. And we all see each other all the time, but he is close to ds in a different way. And yes, there is another little girl who is more the right age to be a flower girl. Your kids are individuals.
[ Reply | Options ]Your brother and his fiancee are doing something nice by including him, but if you think its a problem then politely decline. DO NOT impose your mishegas on him.
