Who's planting their vegetables this Mother's Day?!
Comments (1)I planted some last week during that hot spell - stuff seems to be doing nicely, actually! The sun/warm then gushing rain, then sun, then rain seems like its been good for my plants lol. I'm going to get the rest of it out this weekend though. Except maybe beans. I'm giving up on peppers unless I find myself a nice plant on the clearance rack in June - tired of giving up valuable real estate for three peppers to grow....See MoreMother's Day & Step Mother's Day?????
Comments (18)Sunny, One of the things that my husband agreed to early on in our marriage, is that if one of our kids wants/needs the step parent to do things for them (because the parent can't), then the child has to ask the step parent, not the parent. When my son wanted a co-signer on a car, I couldn't help him because I had just started my own business. I talked to my husband and he agreed to help but I felt that my son should ask him, not me. My son did ask him and got the car with my husband's help. My husband does the same with his daughter. If she wants something from me, she has to ask me. She still asks him all the time and he tells her, 'you have to ask SM'. My sons got angry a while back because they don't like when my husband has an opinion about anything. They think he should stay out of 'our life' but then I remind him that he's my husband and he is a part of 'our life' and I remind him of the things my husband contributes and that they don't mind when he does something where they benefit. They don't like it but they know it's true. What your husband should have told his daughter is that she would need to ask you to cook the food because he doesn't know how or can't do it all by himself. It really is up to the parent to expect their children (even adult ones) to respect their spouse enough to ask for themselves instead of going through the parent. It's much easier for kids to let themselves believe that their parent is doing everything for them and they don't need the step parent if all they have to do is ask the parent who then asks the step parent. Then they don't really appreciate the step parent because they can tell themself that their parent is the one doing everything for them. It's funny that my son will ask me for something and when I say, you need to ask stepdad yourself... he'll decide 'I don't really need it.' He has been giving my husband a hard time and would rather go without than ask my husband, well, that's HIS problem, not mine....See MoreBecause of Mother's Day I wanted to share my babies
Comments (12)Schoolhouse, the mother was "colored", meaning a mixture, and the father was Hereford. We used to raise just polled Herefords , then Charolais and in the end a mixture. Black angus was mixed in also. My husband was just starting with the memory problems so we had to sell and were lucky to find a buyer right away for the whole herd....See MoreWhat's a GREAT Mother's Day? MORE PLANTS!
Comments (4)Thank you breton and eww. Yes, those definitely look like my plants! Appreciate the id's. Alain, yes! Less pressure on the seeds and less waiting time, hopefully, for flowers! I have no idea how old the Puya is. I don't know how fast they grow. I'm still going to sow 10 seeds though. Can let all of that promise and potential go to waste. Plus now that I have them, I'm looking forward to seeing them through. Tyler...See Moremark4321_gw
