Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 < > Ruthie I don't know, all I have read have been rather inconclusive. I have got to say however that if a complete stranger (to me) came up to me and started telling me off for using my mobile phone around my children I would NOT take to it kindly. I get really annoyed when strangers come up to me and start telling me how to behave about stuff that is really none of their business. Like when Phoebe was coming up 2 we had gone to Kingston for the morning and had breakfast in Mac 's When we left there Phoebe had a harsh brown in her hand and was happily munching it about 5 mins down the street this " little old dear " started lecturing me about how I should and should not feed my children. Stuff like that really annoys me as these people don't know me from Adam and they simply decide they know everything.. Sorry not a swipe at your daughter (as it isn't me she had told off LOL) but had it been me I would have been furious (and probably also gone on here to complain LOL) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already. mobile phone emissions After being harangued by Tammy and her DH Allan about the dangers of mobile phone emissions,(they equated it to smoking) I did a bit of a google searching but failed to find any definitive answers on how dangerous it really is. There seemed to be equal evidence either way. Since I have a teenager who spends a large amount of time with a phone next to his head, and is unlikely to cut down unless presented with definitive proof and warnings, does ANYONE really know? I have tried warning him in the past but he, like so many youngsters, just shrugs off this kind of thing. I'm lucky that he doesn't smoke or do drugs.

Tammy needs to get her brain in gear before she opens her mouth sometimes. She has her heart in the right place and always means well but she never was my brightest kid . Yelling like she did at Yeshaya was *not* a good idea, all it achieved was to alienate him from her. He has no intention of going anywhere near her for the next hundred years. I go and visit Tammy most Sabbath afternoons as she lives within a five mn walk (as opposed to DD1 who lives a good 20 mns walk away). Sometimes Tammy can be great company, but sometimes she's on some kind of crusade and she'll spout a lot of rubbish and upset me and I'll go home feeling really depressed. Out of all my girls, Tavya, who is the second youngest, seems to be the best one for saying exactly the right thing at the right time and being bright and sensible. If I am down or upset she's the best one to talk to. DD1 Sara is very sensible and bright, but has her father's offhand attitude to others' distress. She'd as likely say " oh well, get over it, " than say something comforting and cheering. It's not her being unfeeling, it is literally her attitude to life. She very seldom shows her innermost feelings. Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
