Victoria was too, especially around David's age. That's when we finally instituted no getting up 'til everyone is done. She has ALWAYS had to ask to be excused anyway. That was the year we put into effect the "no TV on school nights" rule as well. That was a toughy.

Mallory and Dave are the poster children for why birth control is important.

Yeah, Tom and I have decided we'd rather have a boat...

Exactly! But we'll still have pets so that we don't have to soil the carpets ourselves.

every night during dinner he gets up to go to the bathroom....even if he went just before.....we told him that was the only reason he was to get up during dinner.....guess even at 6 they learn to bend rules. and what am i going to do, tell him he can't go?

I also think it has to do w/ the fact that since THEY can't hear it, they don't think anyone else can either. One day this person (not mentioning any names) was standing there talking to me, farting away. I"m like.... WHOEVERITWAS, what are you doing? And they said... oh, I'm so sorry, I couldn't hear it, so I didn't think you could either.

ya I live exactly an hour away from my parents. but only 15 minutes from my sister.
I live alone and love it (so much so, I don't know how I'll ever get married). But I live very close to ma n sis. I wanna move 8 hours away.....but I'm scared. But I really hate Baltimore.....
What's wrong with Charm City? Fells Point and Jimmy's for breakfast at 3a.. The view of the Inner Harbour, a beer at "The Horse You Rode In On", a game at The Yards now that you can get a ticket..

TOO COLD! I gotta go where it's warm!

Actually love it more than I ever could have realized. Sometimes it's hard to find the balance between alone time and being out, but overall, it's pretty awesome!

Besides, I am too much a pain in the ass to have a roomie at this age

You offering??!!
