Ever have a crush on a cartoon? Posted: 3/16/2008 1:55:41 PM
Batman (Kevin Conroy IMO, is the only one who can do his voice) was always my #1 cartoon crush....I'm waiting for the day/evening when someone dresses up like him for me... ;-D Out of X-men: In the cartoons, Gambit was the one I had the crush on..from the movie - Wolverine.

Why is it so hard to find someone with kids Posted: 3/13/2008 5:50:04 PM
Now...speaking as a single mom...I told my kids as soon as they started asking, that I was not going to ask "just anyone" to join our family and it would be a long interview process and in the meantime, to be patient. As parents we have the challenge of not only trying to find someone we can love and love us in return, but they have to be able to love our children (and vice versa) as well. That's a pretty tall order for anyone to fill. Now, add our potential partner's children. We love them...they love us and our kids....but thier kids...whoa - too much to handle. His kids are great...he loves my kids...he loves me, but ya know...I mean, he's ok and all... Well, you get the idea...lol. It can be done, it happens...all I'm saying is that it's not always easy, be patient. You'll meet her.

I dont know about "most" women, but I have spoken to a few who do think that way. But not because they're "some other woman's kids", but because they didnt want to raise children are "too young" (younger than their own) Though I did hear from one or two they didnt want to raise someone else's kids (different parenting styles...stressing about blending families.) It's not always as easy or romantic as the Brady Bunch. In dating, the kids might be fine because mom and "that guy" are just dating....the other kids are only dealt with once in a while and they go to their separate homes after...but if it becomes marriage......then it's: "you love HIS kids more than me....!" , "You always take HER side...I'm your 'real' kid...!" Birth orders are rearranged and structures have to be reformed...it's upheaval for kids (and parents) The kids might be happy (and used to) being the one and only, liking things just the way they are (kids crave structure and routine, remember?) Just because the man and woman love each other it doesnt mean the kids will. That will take time.

Why aren't balls retractable? Posted: 3/8/2008 4:04:54 PM
And yet when we ask you to hold our purses, you're STILL not happy... ...besides, we wouldn't be keeping them in our purses if they weren't handed over to us to begin with...!

submissive women Posted: 3/3/2008 7:30:51 AM
4realgurl, Perhaps instead of trying to wade through the code words on sites like POF (no offense anyone...) you might want to try one that caters to more of what you're looking for. There's a dot com called "alt" (a friend of mine was telling me about it) where people who are looking for a particular type of relationship can say explicitly what they are seeking. Hope this helps...

Porn in the house with kids? Posted: 2/12/2008 7:16:03 PM
I did say he was in my room looking for candy...candy he wasnt supposed to be into anyway. I dont keep my private things lying about, they're descreetly hidden...and I certainly dont keep them in shopping bags. So he went into my room and went looking for one thing...and peeked into other things that he shouldnt have while hunting. You said you're open with your sexuality, but you stated before that you didnt want to have "that" in common with your son or for him to view you in as that kind of person. If you're that open...how could he look at you differently? my son and I were talking about sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, and condomes. Do I have to have porn in the house to have a reason to start a discussion with him? lmao...I didnt say that porn was the only thing that initiates conversation (where on earth did you get that?)...but I DID say is that his finding porn...or pictures...or toys has started some. If he had questions at other times, I answer them (and yes...some about STD's too) lol...what do you think I tell him "When you find something else of mommy's I'll answer...now git huntin' "? The discussions I was talking about was based on the images he was seeing...the ones you mentioned (STD's, Pregnancy, condoms) we had when he was talking with me about a girl... You're right, you have your opinion, and I have mine...and while I agree, you probably werent attacking, you have to admit - you seemed rather quick to look down your nose (and wag your finger) at those who think and act differently.

Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 2:20:01 PM
A friend of mine tells me she wants to be treated like a princess. Her reasoning is that she's taken care of others, treated like crap and taken advantage of for years...now she wants to be take care of for a change. I just shake my head...I was involved with someone who said he put me on a pedistal...I was "too good" for him. I asked him to take me off it - I didnt want to be there. He said he couldnt because he didn't feel like he was worthy to be with me. He ended things when he found someone who he felt was more on his level. To quote Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadephia Story"" "..I don't want to be worshipped...I want to be loved..."

Porn in the house with kids? Posted: 2/12/2008 11:18:05 AM
if one hopes for there son to be normal and not a pervert that they keep all porn away .. not all boys will like , but its proven that those who partake at a young age in porn are given false inpressions of what sex and the opposite sex are about First - you've got to define "normal" and define "pervert". Is someone who perfers their sex "vanilla" considered normal, while others who like a little more "spice" to their sex the pervert? Certainly those who engage in various lifestyles dont consider themselves perverted. lol The ideas of some of the things I enjoy didnt come from porn, but from books (reading non-porn) and tv shows/cartoons (including Saturday morning ones...and no, they didnt involve a coyote or road runner) Now, must ALL media content be scoured to pervent potential perverstion and fetishisms? (please note I'm not attacking, I'm trying to get another point across) For those that DO/DID partake at a young age...no, I'm not agreeing with that idea, I dont think one should throw open the porn coffiers and say "Go have fun kids...oh and here's a cigar and a glass of burbon as well to complete the experience!". They shouldnt...not until they have the maturity to understand what they're seeing/reading/hearing/feeling. In the meantime, we as parents, can NOT be too afraid to approach them with this opportunity for discussion when they DO discover something as uncomfortable as that may be. (If they dont find it in your own home, then at a friend's...or the library...remember Madonna's book "Sex" that caused such an uproar...or "Our Bodies: Our Selves"..."Tropic of Cancer" these were in our libraries) I think the ones that grow up to be "perverts and deviants" are the ones who were pretty much left on their own when it came to the topic of sex - how else could they get the false impression unless the parents chose to look the other way with "boys will be boys..." Oh, and Blink...dont worry...he's been punished. But in all fairness, it wasnt like he went snooping every week for a month or the like...these were spaced out over a few years. And you're right, he has little to no concept of privacy. He sees himself entitled as the "man of the house" (I wanna shoot the ones that told him that line o' crap) and we debate this point repeatedly.

Porn in the house with kids? Posted: 2/12/2008 7:16:29 AM
Slumber, Why do I keep it around? Because I am the grownup. Those are my grownup things...why should I grow a little resentful over a needless 'sacrifice' (and in this case, it would be.)and I'm going to be damned upset if they poke around my private room where there is nothing of theirs - just as they would be if I did it to them. Privacy is an important right. If he doesnt want to know...he shouldn't be snooping. Kids want to know about the "secret life" of adults, theyr'e gonna snoop. Sex is part of the adult world. Fear it - or embrace it. I dont wave it in their faces...nor do I leave things out in the open. But if discovered, I'm sure as heck not gonna pretend to be shocked and apologetic. Of course he's horrified! If he said "Way to go Mom!" I think I'd be a whole helluva lot more concerned. I (like you and every other man and woman on this bord) am a person with normal healthy needs and desires. I've seen what happens to kids who grow up with just a Mom who's afraid to express her sexuality. They were afraid to approach them for any reason, after all - how could they (the mom) POSSIBLY relate??? Kinda makes puberty a little more scary if they think no one can understand what they might be going through. It's up to THEM to have porn? So..if you find theirs in the house, will you shrug and say "oh well...boys will be boys..."? My 14 year old had some pics of his own, and I found them...and we sat down and had a long talk about it. And he KNEW when I spoke, it wasnt as a sexually repressed mother (I'm throwing in the meaning to also being afraid to be seen as sexual) but it was as a person who knows a thing or two (or more). If he has a question - he comes to me about it and he gets as honest an answer as I can give him. (how do you think I found out about the girl in his school offering to give him a handjob and bj afer school?) He freaks out out seeing my bras or when I go shopping for them. Based on your logic, I should stop wearing them too. True, he cant see it..but he'll run across them at SOME point...and in the laundry...his underwear and my bras might....touch!!! gasp horrors!!! Yes, my son was horrified, but it also helped open up some really good conversations about relationships, responsibility, about what sex is..and what it isnt, and the importance of trust among other things. When he thinks back to his childhood, I want him to be able to say "She was a good mother: she fed us, clothed us, loved us...worked hard, and laughed a lot..." NOT: "She was a good mother - she wasnt sexual" What's having a boyfriend got to do with toys and pictures...who do you think SENT me those pics? (Ok, not all of them were "boyfriends"...but some were very good friends) And for the toys....sometimes I like to share them and again, who do you think helped pick some of THOSE toys out...? lol One of my sisters used to sell toys in home parties, she had them all over the place....she has 7 kids and not ONE of them is a sexual deviant (I used to get her employee discount - bless her heart) It's not the toys or the porn that's damaging - it's what you do IF they discover them...will you freak out an apologize, or say "Yes, this is something Mom/Dad has..." and let the discussion go somewhere where they can get something constructive out of it. If they're old enough to freak (or study the material), then they're old enough for a frank and open discussion.

Porn in the house with kids? Posted: 2/11/2008 6:39:01 PM
When my husband was alive we had videos and toys in the house...when my son was about 4 he came into the living room with one of my smaller toys and said "Mom look! I found a cat toy!!" and proceeded to turn it on to watch it bounce all over the carpet. Now I'm widowed and he and my girl are older...at 12, he found some of my books (on how to spice up your sex life) and was stunned. Suggested in the future not to snoop in Mom's room. He agreed. At 13, he found some of my computer files. He was horrified...I asked why he what he was doing in my stuff. He said he thought it was one of his (marked "XXX private"...nothing bad, just some "gifts" from some friends....lol) I started keeping an eye on his online antics. He discoved some questionable sites..he told me about it. We had a talk about how sex is between two people who care about and trust each other. Not what he had seen. He agreed and he was grounded off the computer. (His idea) At 14, he found some pics on my cell phone that my at-the-time bf had sent me (note: this is my PERSONAL phone...there's no reason for anyone else to be touching it. ) We had another discussion about privacy. Recently, he was in my room...looking for candy...he found where I kept my toys - and was disgusted....and quite vocal about it. Told me I needed to find a man. (lol On the plus side - it solved the problem of his telling me I couldnt marry or date again.) Now...I had a lock on the door...my kids were so proud to tell me they figured how to pick the lock on it. I remind them that I respect their privacy and I expected the same. My daughter has never been a "snoop"...my son, on the other hand, is. BUT, my son's not a deviant...he's almost 15 and he's said he's not quite ready for a girlfriend...that's it's a serious thing. Now I dont think that's because of anything I did or said (or he found) it's because that's just how he is. In fact, he let me know that a girl in his old school wanted him to be her boyfriend and offered to "do things" for/to him. He refused, because he didnt like her "that way" and didnt want to use her. He's been exposed to porn. The only thing it's done is show him that his mom's a human, sexual being....THAT'S what freaked him out. (Remember how you felt when you realizeed that YOUR mom and dad had sex...???? Ewwww...!!!! )

Going back to school in your 30's.... Posted: 2/8/2008 2:40:31 PM
Well, I'm not in my 30's now, but I first went back to school after about a 12 year hiatus, I was 35 working towards an Associates degree in Business Administration. It was how I was coping with the loss of my husband...I was able to throw myself into the school work. When I graduated two years later, I had earned not only the Business degree, but a Liberal Studies one as well as a couple of certificates. Five years passed since I earned those, and now I'm back in school again - this time going for Bachelor degrees in Communications and Psychology. Point being, the professors love having adult students in their classes. They know we're serious about being here...we're not killing time, putting off getting "real" jobs, or worried about the next party. We have life experience that the other students do not, the professors can relate stories to us better. They often are more understanding of any situations we might encounter that might make things a bit more challenging. We are the serious students. We're not thinking about whether or not we wore the right thing to school...I dont know about you, I'm usually just relieved when my socks match getting ready in the mornings. College-age girls obsess about fashion, we think about comfort... On the downside, most times we, the older student is kind of treated as a pariah. The kids dont know how to relate to us, so we have to put out a little bit of an effort to be seen as students just like them. (Which is a pain when we have group projects to do...) I think we're compared to mom's...and who wants to work with their moms (or dads)? When I was in the Community College, it was less of a problem, there were many returning students there, but in the university it's a different story. In spite of that, I love being back in school and I cant wait to see what I will do with my degrees when I finish...lol.
