just a boy trying to make up for years of his daddy not being around to give him piggyback rides? (said with a certain degree of sarcasm and disgust)
Beautifully put WillyWonky, even my 5 and 7 year old get that concept
Just something to consider - the vaccine schedule that they give our kids in a "one size fits all" schedule, but our children are not one size fits all. For example, when my son was 2 he got his first MMR shot. Following their standard schedule he should have automatically gotten another shot at age 4 or 5, but he had his MMR titer checked at that time and found that he was still immune from his first immunization, no second shot was necessary, so he didn't get it. So, technically he is not up to date on his shot record and we are listed as "exempt" because I refuse to give him the second shot and put anymore of that stuff in his little body than is necessary (he had a horrible reaction at 4 mos old and I am very nervous of immunizations). So I just like to remind poeple that while there is a time and a place for immunization people are not one size fits all and medicine, vaccines included, should not be practiced that way on us. There are ways around it.
I'm curious, at what point on the gas guage would YOU leave your kid in the car with the doors unlocked to go for gas? Because as a mother I can tell you that under no circumstances would I ever do that. I don't care if one is sleeping; wave someone down for help, use your cell phone to call for help or tough it out and carry both kids to the nearest place that you can get help from. It's called being a parent. Plain and simple, nothing in her story adds up - and it sounds to me like you're already ready to point the finger to the father based soley on speculation, which is exactly what you're saying not to do to the mother. I'm just curious, is this Julia?
I call BS... but that's just me..
But in your original comment you said "Here's what I "read" in this article... most of us didn't expect that you'd outright lie.....
In response to people saying that they will never find a cure, sometimes events like this are about more than that. Put yourself in the shoes of one of the people down there wearing the bright Pink T-shirts. Imagine how you would feel if you had battled this disease and survived and then came to an event like this and felt that kind of support from your community. Or if you went down there as a person who lost a family member, how amazing it would feel to see and feel that kind of community support in memory of your loved one. That huge group of people rallying together in huge support of a cause that personally touches you... it's beyond words. That is why I run. I run for every person down there in a Pink shirt and for every person wearing a "in memory of" or "in support of" sign. Because you're right, we may never be able to cure cancer, but we sure the hell can support each other as we face this disease head on.
I saw the video on youtube before I saw this story and it is really funny. I loved it. He is like a charming little boy in the video and she's hysterical! I love it :)
hmmmmm, too bad I'm at work and can't hit play so all I can get from the story is that a mother and child were hit. Thankfully there were other commentors in here so I was able to at least get that the mother and child will be ok.
I didn't post anything then, but this story still doesn't feel right to me. Very little mention of the boyfriend or argument now. I don't know. Glad she's ok, but it doesn't sit right with me.
