I see so much of him in my son.<br /><br />I also remind him not-so-gently when he acts like his father. That shuts him right up.<br /><br />My favorite kid moment with my mom's dad was the day I looked at him and said "Being a bigot makes you smell bad." I was 4 at the time.listen for azurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300428777385011211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-31444568125378751222009-10-27T14:50:24.622-07:002009-10-27T14:50:24.622-07:00Scarlet: Gracias!

My paternal grand pa did something really bad. He had a twin daughters and when he found that the husband of one was unfaithful, he got them both divorced! I mean, my other aunty was having a fun married life. I was ashamed when my would be niece joined my school as a junior to me. She was such a lovely kid and used to tug behind me calling me her uncle!Ekanthapadhikanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145892282785596764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-56124664679580078512009-10-25T18:15:13.879-07:002009-10-25T18:15:13.879-07:00PF: I think you are right!

Mwah!<br />Joey: That is awesome about your mother. You are right - female-on-male domestic violence is almost never recognized; here in the states, it's only recent that violence in same-sex relationships has been recognized as a problem. Honestly, why call it "domestic violence?" I mean, WTF? Violence is violence, period.<br />Lynn: My dad is cool.

Of course he was brought up to believe it's wrong to hit a woman, so instead he gets brutually attacked by her.<br /><br />Of course no one takes violence on a man seriously, but it exists. My mother has always been the head of the household.<br /><br />Cuts both ways.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-43160862993897000812009-10-25T17:32:03.545-07:002009-10-25T17:32:03.545-07:00You know I love Saint Joan.

I have a wonderful set of grandparents and am thankful for them every day. It's just too bad that not all people can be as accepting and loving as others.<br /><br />My grandfather's motto is (he's 91)"be as nice as I am". And he lives by it.<br /><br />Trust that not all people are like your grandfather and you did the right thing by standing up to him. Even at 4 you had great instincts!!!Alicesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810703771030465176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-1257401753325621162009-10-25T16:24:08.063-07:002009-10-25T16:24:08.063-07:00Oh hell no.Oh hell no.The Peach Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587235197620014751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-3959067798302819832009-10-25T15:57:15.284-07:002009-10-25T15:57:15.284-07:00I think if you would have had to live in that hous...I think if you would have had to live in that household you would have <i>wanted</i> to be burned as a witch.Passion Fruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347763547302760215noreply@blogger.com
