Inappropriate elimination! I feel like I am at work!
Comments (5)I think that maybe it's because she's such a busy kid. She probably is so busy playing and doing whatever that she doesn't want to take the time to go the bathroom and go, so she goes wherever it's more convenient. Also there is the issue of her seeing others going in different places and being allowed to on certain occasions. Maybe you need to explain in the best way possible that it's not always okay to do that. I know we have the problem with DS. He's learning that he can go in our yard if were outside but we have to stop him from doing it elsewhere. The best thing we could do was tell him to tell us he has to go before he does. That way we get him to the correct place and aren't in an embarrassing situation. I know what you're saying about people comparing kids. Your friend needs to realize that not all kids are the same. Many children don't focus on the same areas at the same time. While yours has maybe been more active, her daughter may have been more into verbal and social skills. It's normal for kids to be like this. So what if her daughter learned to go in the potty in a week and it's taking yours months? That's normal. Maybe it's time you did speak up once in awhile. Maybe say that she's your daughter and your decision or something? People walk all over you and overstep boundaries only because you yourself let them. It's hard to get to understand that because the good old Golden Rule taught us to treat others the way we wanted to be treated. These days it seems to not apply anymore. I'm sure it's becoming more stressful than fun when you go around your friend and maybe a talk would help that. If she can't respect you, then maybe she's not a good friend after all. I'm slowly learning this myself and it's making me feel better and life easier. Good luck. ~Leslie~...See MoreI feel like I just found the end of the rainbow...
Comments (4)I know just how you feel. I felt the same way when the new quilt shop opened up around the block from me last month.

Comments (20)Elsa - the greyish tint is the result of the mites bites - i think their saliva is extremely poisonous for the plants. The mites can be gone, but the damage is done. If you successfully killed the mites the new leaves will emerge and eventually the plant will grow out of it. If you start removing the center now - you will add to the injury and can kill the growth point. I would say - wait untill the center is replaced, then you can start chipping the damaged ones. If the plant started growing suckers - the growth point is already gone. But the suckers will grow fast and you can harvest them and root them in a couple of months and discard the old plant. The purpose of this exercise is to preserve all the varieties you have and save most of the plants. If you want t repeat treatment - wait for a week - and spray. Not necessary as they say = but to kill the new generation. just in case....See More
