so new problem this AM, it seems Maggie is the victim of a bully at school and I am undecided how to handle? Of course I want to go open the can of whoopa-- on the kid but I also have to toughen Maggie up. so what to do, what to do? of course it is the kid that comes running up to me and hugs every time she sees me..........its tough to be a parent.......give the advice gang

Faye --- I say "clock her".

Just kidding. Not really. Well, for your criminal record, I say you better handle it another way. I think maybe the best advice would come from teachers or from parents who have already been in this situation. (I think that teachers probably encounter this situation a lot).

But from a parent who hasn't dealt with this before and since I am not a teacher, then I say "clock her".

Still, just kidding! :) :)

Lugar,
Sorry to hear you haven't had a chance to talk to to the doctor. You know, now that you've mentioned it, I guess it doesn't really matter if it is a boy or a girl. I believe, for my own selfish reasons, that I'd rather it be a girl....just get plenty of pictures! :)

Any chance of you and Cliney going to the Orange Bowl? I just spoke with the J.G. and we're working out the plans for our crew. Let me know if you're going down, we'll meet up and do some introductions.

Anyone else headed to Florida to watch VT?

Oh Faye...be careful how you handle this! You don't want to make it worse. I used to do the art program at Troutville and have had kids who just love me, but are less than nice to one of my kids! It's maddening! Honestly, I think I would try saying something the next time "bully" gives you a hug...like "do you expect me to hug you when you are not nice to Maggie?" I know...I park my broom in the garage! But the kid would probably be so shocked and embarrassed that it might end it. I had something like that work once. It depends on the kid...you have an idea how it would work. They want boundaries and if you give them that and are also a fun parent to be around...it works for me. That is why I had 27 kids sign up for my fall arts/crafts expo...even ones who I have to fuss at a lot. There were only 27 seats or there would of been more...thank God there were only 27 seats! Good luck and keep in mind that I have also told my son to "do whatever he has to do to end it" so that Mom isn't handling the problems...just depends on the situation...did she get hurt?

Carla Boyd (McCabe) Hey...maybe Maggie could take the bully some lunch on Tuesday...Stef...can Faye have the yogurt in the fridge?

Robyn - I'm so sorry you have gotten tied up with all of this Stef crap. Just in case you need it they have an open ended restraining order against her at the court house. All you have to do is call them to add your name. They wont ask any questions just tell them it's the Lugar file. You can have it taken off at any time. Sometimes I take mine off and then put it back on the next day. It keeps her on her toes.

Stef - Dec 28th I will be in Chapel Hill. The 26th or 27th works fine. I'm giving you advanced notice in case you need to do any "cooking".

Jolee - You saw Jason and you didn't stop to give him crap about not posting? I mean sure he was working an accident and all and maybe there were people injured but he has to get his priorities straight! ;-)

Shannon - Where have you and Kelly been hiding? Please come back to us. Is it Stef's language? If so, please see my memo to Robyn!

And yes to the prior posts, I'd watch Kristen's kids just so she could get a break. Been there done that. When you have 4 what's a few more? I got John a 42" flat screen for his birthday...mistake...now Jess and her friends make this their new hangout to watch Fringe on Tuesday nights...oh well if they're here at least I know what they are doing :)

Kristen - I have to help paint the stage for our church Christmas play on Saturday morning, but dinner that evening works...give me a call, you have my number and work email. And yea.. I passed Frosty on my way home from work sporting his fur coat and uggs. And to think I was looking into a short ski vacation in the poconos next month....perhaps I should reconsider Florida. Do you guys ski / board or go tubing? Bear Creek isn't that far...your older ones might like the tubing...Zach did it when he was six. I thought for certain he would chicken out when we got to the top of the hill..then when we got up there I thought I would join him but he climbed on and sailed down while his mama stood there prayin he didn't wipe out on the way down. (I already had one kid at home with a broken arm).

Faye Sowers (Crute)

Thanks for the advice everyone! I gave the kid a perfect opportunity to address the problem and she handled it in a way she thought best, we discussed and she seems happy with her decision so I told her she better just put the big girl britches on and deal since she had a way out today and chose not to take it. We will see what happens, it just is hard to watch your kids hurt. Kids have so many more pressures these days it seems! Good night all!

Robyn Miller (Brooks) Greg-are you talking about the one in the County? Cuz I knew about the one in the City...I actually started it back in 1993 while I was working for the Sheriff's Dept.-I had no idea there was one in the County,too. Thanks,though-I feel certain that will definately come in handy sometime. toodles.

Stef..party sounds good, as long as Tim hasn't made plans with his family, we will be there! And I like BSAG2...That says bring Susie a gift too! :)

Faye..glad it worked out. Bullying happens so much. I would hate being a kids these days. If I were you I agree with Kristen, knock the crap out of her. These days a lot of kids need that! What happened to picking their own switches on the tree or the belt? Anyway...letting them handle it at first is good. But if it continues, I would talk to your counselor. I just know last year I had a situation in my classroom with 2 girls and 1 was afraid to come to school, so I took her to the counselor. They are better at that stuff. Next time she hugs you..knock the s*** out of her..just kidding...hope it stops!

Well I thought it was cold in Texas until I talked to my dad and it's 19 at night in Roanoke? I am going to freeze!

10 days and I am heading north! I can't wait to see everyone!

Greg Terry Faye - Can you share with us what your daughter's decision was on handling the problem? Just curious.

Faye Sowers (Crute)

Well, I happened to be by the school yesterday, the guidance counselor came by and I asked her if she could pull Maggie to the side. She is working on putting together friendship groups so she used that as a reason, she asked Maggie who she would recommend for the group. (Kids that had trouble making friends and getting along) Well Maggie chose no one from her class and instead chose some other kids who were known for pushing and being physical with other kids. Maggie told us about it when she got home and we asked why she didn't mention the kid in her class, she said she was going to handle the kid and try to be a better friend to her because she did not want her to get in trouble. For now killing with kindness is her approach so we explained she had the chance to make it better so she better accept whatever happens, (the kid may come around but may not). Maggie is 5 feet tall (3rd grade) its not like she can't handle herself but its the short little people that seem to intimidate her the most so for now I am releasing it but I am going to have lunch with her today to see how it is going maybe some behind the scenes strength will make it better. We will see...............thanks for asking :)

Greg Terry Faye - Keep us posted. I hope it all works out. I know it's tough as a parent. I guess now that mine is in school this is what I have to look forward to!

Todd- You will never see this kid if you're not there for the delivery. I didn't get myself in this situation alone ya know. Do I need to refresh your memory bc greg T. has it all on tape ya know. Greg, I may need you to go on the Maury show with me. I know I can count on you as long as you lift the restraining order for that trip.

Robyn- There are restraining orders on me all over the state of va. I just ignore them bc I can't keep them all straight. Oh and I think there is one in Vermont too.

Kristen Witt (Bray)

Todd -- it sounds like to me that if it was only 8 seconds, then that was YOUR fault, not Stefs! :) :) Remember, I was married to you once! I know that it was a long time ago, but I do remember!

Vicky -- I'm on for Saturday night. Where ya want to go and what time? I would prefer to eat sometime between 5-6pm, but if you want to meet at 4:30pm to beat the Christmas shopping crowds, then I am okay with that too. Just let me know what is better for you!

Jolee --- Did you add the extra "Who's online" section so that we can see who is ghost reading? If so, way to go girl. You are so sneaky!!!!!!! WHO YOU GONNA CALL? GHOST READER BUSTERS!

12/09/08 05:19 PM	#1463
Todd Selkirk Kristen, If you keep hitting replay you can make that 8 seconds last forever! :)
