Love how Typhus got her buttons pushed on this thread.
Even her mother came on NSBR and here to plead with her to stop acting like an obnoxious asshole and to start representing Christianity better. How embarrassed she must be knowing that all she does is pea during working school hours and that she has no friends or life. Peaing during labor, complaining her husband plays video games all night and won't screw her. The bucket would be a better place without her. Her mom didn't act like that. What's wrong with her?
Typhus is mad because someone pointed out how fat she is after she told them to get off their ass and go exercise. She should practice what she preaches. She's a hypocrite!
wtf is with all the peas posting long, dramatic bullshit threads about their "abnormal" mammograms and then updating a day later to say it was nothing?
Bunch of fucking drama whores. They will do anything for some attention. SMH
WTF? If you go through this every year, then stop doing it. Buy a damn turkey and if you get one great, if not you have one. People are so stupid I can't believe it.
Nothing.. Maybe some mashed potatoes. I have no turkey. My family is all too far away and my husband doesn't give a shit so why bother... I used to do everything for the family and now it's just 2 people and 1 doesn't care so fuck it.
Am I upset, nope. Just one less bullshit thing to deal with.
Well, 21, you should go shopping then at all the stores that everyone is so happy is open on TG day. Or call up Scrappower at QVC or wherever she works. She loves it too.
well, now you're just shitting all over hrcookie, 23. She and her chef husband say you shouldn't be so lazy and unskilled--cook your own damn dinner!!!111!!
Just because we choose to go out doesn't mean we can't cook, we can choose not to. I can put on one hell of a turkey dinner. I have a special way of doing my turkey with fresh herbs that gets raves. Doesn't mean I can never go out on Thanksgiving.
I'm taking the year off and going to my sister's house. She's in the mood to cook and I'm in the mood to let her.
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=15&thread_id=3262882 This is a cute thread. Lostinspace is obtuse for the purpose of being an asshole. When did she come back?

I'd love to know how myboysnme is making a Thanksgiving dinner for at least 6 people for under $50. What did she do? Buy TV dinners. Get a Bob Evans ready made meal?
29, I actually agree with the OP. My sister does the same thing. She doesn't bring anything or offer. She comes and eats (with her husband and one child) and immediately gets up from the table and starts packing up containers of food and they leave. It's rude as hell. I've told her it's rude but my mother and grandmother won't say anything to her so she keeps on doing it.

No way she's feeding 6 adult males with only $50 bucks.
Let the Thanksgiving complaints begin: Starting with: how rude to take home leftovers Company was late. Nothing for vegetarians to eat. Uncle Ralph farted during dinner. My college kid brought home his girlfriend and expected to sleep together My sisters kids were texting all through dinner Aunt Mary double dips. Cousins kids were extreme brats with no manners Brother in law showed up with a 24 pack of beer. Cousin Sue blew her nose at table. My 12 year old was forced to sit at the kids table and not next to me(mommy). No one wanted to play cards/board games 17 year old nephew sulked the whole time. 15 year old Niece was dressed like a slut Grandma showed up with man friend(who was not invited) Dad's new girlfriend told my kids to call her granny Mom won't come because dad new girlfriend will be there. Uncle Dave turned on football game during dinner. Neighbor kid kept ringing doorbell asking if kids could play. Great Aunt Millie and Uncle Wilbur parked in our driveway.

misshair aka st-angel (bat shit crazy nutjob) aka Karen P. changed her name because she was getting too intense and paranoid stupid. Held out as misshair for a while, but this is testament that you cannot hide bat shit crazy for long.
Some of our supermarkets offer a turkey for 50 cents/lb if you spend $50, or even a free turkey. So if she gets one of those free or cheap turkeys and is careful with what else she buys, I can see putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for $50- ish. Maybe her guests are bringing dishes, too.

It's not that hard to do, unless you're feeding 5 teenage boys! Most people have enough leftovers to feed an army. If she buys her vegetables at a farmer's market and doesn't go overboard on dozens of different dishes, it's quite doable.
With the free 18lb turkey I got for free with a regular grocery purchase and all my sides from scratch, I don't think I even came close to spending $50. If you plan ahead and shop wisely, Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to break the bank. We don't have dozens of extravagant sides or a billion deserts, but we're feeding 8 adults and their kids and we'll have leftovers galore.
I can see the meal being expensive if you're buying a fresh, organic turkey and serving bacon-wrapped scallops or whatever for sides. I guess we're just boring and basic.
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow blog bitches. Hope you have a safe and joyous holiday.
Love all the stuffing purists at 2P. StoveTop isn't the end of the world. I like it way more than my grandmother's dry, tasteless cornbread stuffing from scratch.
At least tksmom had enough sense to realize it would have hurt her MILs feelings to complain. It's not about making a gourmet meal, maybe that's all her MIL is able to do. It's about getting together with family and tksmom is really rude to be so picky about what food is served. I can imagine how hurt her MIL would be if she read what tksmom wrote. People have no class or manners any more.

The reason she said she laughed that Tishy responded first is because of Tishy's avatar. The wicked queen, hence "mirror mirror on the wall...."
They are totally white trash. I came up on their friend that they were asking everyone to pray for in a weird facebook six degrees of separation. Grammanisi and her daughter are trash even by trash's standards. Notice how full they are of drama---very Jerry Springer-ish.
I see SweetieBugs is filled with the spirit of the holidays. If you want to be stingy with your food, don't host a meal. If you can't understand that hosting a meal means giving people the food they want, then don't do it. If people want the damn leftovers, give them the damn leftovers. Nothing like the Christian spirit of thankfulness that pervades those passive-aggressive peas.

Posted: 11/30/2013 12:01:24 PM I made a no bake peanut butter cake from a box for our dessert this Thanksgiving. The box read
Add 1-1/3 cups water
So I asked my DH so is that one, 1/3 cup of water or is it one and 1/3 cups ? He wasn't sure so we asked our neighbors, they weren't sure either.
So what I did was added 1/3 cup of water followed the directions and looked at the picture on the side of the box it wasn't as moist as the picture looked so I went ahead and added the cup and it turned out the way it was supposed to, but man the directions were confusing to us.
Sometimes directions are just plain confusing.

More like some peas are just fucking stupid. Dumb twat.
Holy Shit. "Where can I get men's Christmas socks?" For a 17-year-old guy. Her grandson. Are you fucking kidding me? How about a nice snowman sweater to go with.
79 Anonymous said... 79 Yes, 78. Some other dumbass fucked up her StoveTop stuffing "recipe" because she can't add 2/3 and 2/3. Unreal. November 30, 2013 at 12:22 PM
Wow you are a special kind of stupid if you can't figure this out. Even if you can't add 2/3 plus 2/3s, you could still simply pour the first 2/3s cup in and then pour in a second 2/3s.
She's the one who claims to have fed 6 people Thanksgiving for 50 bucks. If her math sucks that bad I wonder how much it really cost her.
I think it's very sad that there are so many grown adults who can't seem to do the simplest math or figure out what 1 1/3 means. Why would anyone ask advice from any of these people?

If she's using common core it's acceptable if she can explain it.
I'm in Europe where we typically measure ingredients by weight, but even I think there must be something retarded about not understanding 1 1/3 cups as anything other than one whole cup and one third of a whole cup. I have used American cups and it is easy as pie, saves weighing everything out. Surely people still learn fractions in grade school? If you do, there is no way to read 1 1/3 as meaning only 1/3! They only teach one way to note fractions for god's sake. Math, whether it is simple or complex is only not chaos because we have all learned to notate it the same way. How the fuck do four out of four people not know how to read what 1 !/3 means?????????????? It means the same everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mind you, I used to be equally shocked at those biddies on GS who used to let slip they didn't know how to use a ruler. I admit, I would have a hard time even contemplating where to begin teaching a full grown adult how to use a ruler for measuring. Are not the evenly spaced numbers and notches sort of self explanatory? :D
I know a friend here who has a child with a substance abuse problem. Eventually the child is going to kill herself because she is sniffing canned air. This is a big problem where we are in Europe and lots of teenagers die from it. I am trying to be sympathetic but part of me wants to say either get her help or cut her off. I know it's terrible. I need to be more compassionate towards the friend's daughter. I am asking a smack blog to tell me how to be more compassionate where at the pod they would bite my head off for not caring enough.

Aren't there a couple of peas who probably have gay husbands? AngelKris? Miss Jenn and that hipster wanna be from Nebraska. December 1, 2013 at 12:25 PM -----------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but that isn't what we are talking about here. The question isn't if her husband could be a closet homo. I wouldn't suspect a thing about my husband txtng a man friend, as the above person pointed out. But in THIS case it is a woman, and she isn't questioning his sexuality. She is questioning whether this female co-worker and him are a little too close for comfort. I don't blame her.
Poor bastard husband can't have a female friend - marriage is fucking doomed. His stoooopid wife should just ask to get introduced, have a coffee and chill the fuck out. FFS - people of the opposite sex DO talk, ya know!!
I guess it depends on the dynamics of your marriage. Neither me or my DH would be okay with cutesy little texts between co-workers of the opposite sex. Not because we don't trust each other, but that is how shit gets started. Also the mousy Christian single co-worker might be the one to develop "other ideas", the next thing you know you could be dealing with a freaking stalker. Yes, I have seen this happen at my very own workplace when a woman "friend" got the wrong idea. It didn't end up pretty. Besides, the bottom line is that if it makes the wife uneasy, then he shouldn't have any problem knocking it off if it is truly innocent.
FFS, 103 - in your world, 'hey, how you doing today?' would be "cutsey". Get a fucking grip . ADULTS have relationships. Sometimes, they are even mature enough to do so with members of the opposite sex. If YOUR husband is a fucking douchbag, that's kind of YOUR problem.
I wish him all the best, BTW, and hope he wakes up soon. All the very best to the poor bastard.
It's pretty hard to take sexual attraction out of a relationship, especially with men. Women might view male coworkers as just friends, and men might even kid themselves that a female coworker is just a friend, but there is always an element of sexual tension in every relationship. You are an idiot and a fool to believe otherwise. Not all men will act on it, but many (at least 60%) will. Rarely will a man send cutesy texts to a female he finds repulsive.

=========================================
I don't know, it just seems like she's forcing the kid to donate part of his Christmas money and birthday money. I guess it bugs me because when I was a child my mom always took any cash I received and kept it, she didn't even bother to lie and say it was going for clean water in some hell hole.
"The commercial itself conveys a sense of peace, but I don't think it was a peaceful experience for some of the kitties. I imagine it was very stressful for some."
scrappower is getting annoying on the thread about the husband getting texts from the chick at work. WE KNOW...YOUR husband would NEVER cheat blah blah blah. But history shows again and again that many affairs start out exactly this way. Nothing wrong with OP being upset, in fact, she is one smart cookie for checking things out.
Meh I agree with scrappower and ilovebuble on that thread. "Vonnie" is being a cunt as usual. Her husband is no prize and no one wants to fuck him. Only the peas can turn a Hello text with a question mark (omgwtfbbq) into a he is cheating you dumb twat post.
I am all for having friends and maybe they are "just friends" but her husband sending "Sweet Dreams" and talking about bringing her a chocolate chip cookie reeks of him flirting with her. The OP also says he talks about her constantly. I find it weird but go ahead and say I'm a prude or a horrible wife..

I don't think it is either of them. The no kids thing along with the other clues should give it away. I never thought of trying to figure out the author of anonymous posts.

Wow, i'm surprised this blog is still here (well, kind of here. 127 posts in almost a week? You're slipping!)
I don't recall ever saying i'm making a ton of money that is clearly subjective. I will say that I feel that i'm well compensated for the amount of hours that I work. From pictures posted from different awards ceremonies you can see that my team did over a million dollars in sales in 2012 and the requirement fort he cruise I won was $80,000 in personal sales. I make between 1-5% on my teams sales 4 lines down and 55% of my personal sales as a baseline. Is there more money to make? Absolutely. Would I like my income to increase? Without a doubt. Will it? If I decide it will.
I've been blessed with an amazing opportunity, a wonderfully supportive family, a way to support my family comfortably and a team that I adore more than anything. I'm certainly not complaining.
Message me if you want some samples ;) You know where to find me.
Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. Take your bullshit somewhere else, Staph. Nobody here is going to buy your shit. It's just a matter of time before you're back to being a single mom living off welfare I'm sure.
I've checked here on and off throughout the years. Things used to get entertaining but the last year or more? Not so much. Looking at the numbers it looks like y'all are kind of sick of yourselves. I've never posted here but when I do it'll be under my name. There isn't much worth saying if you can't own it. I don't need my friends to send me links when people are talking about me- real friends wouldn't send it to me anyway. I'm a big girl and I can read just fine on my own.
130- I'm shilling? What exactly? I'm not here for any personal profit or gain and i'm not promoting anything at all. If you would like a free sample i'm more than happy to send you one but you'll need to contact me. That's not going to make me any profit or any new clientele in fact it'll cost me money. I'm simply offering you something that will make your day a little better. I'm certain you could use it.
A question about me was asked and I answered it, that's hardly forcing you to deal with a MLM asshole. I really don't want or need your business but I have no problem answering a question about what I do unless the question was meant for someone who is more knowledgable about my income than I am.
If you would like a free sample i'm more than happy to send you one but you'll need to contact me.

I call that shilling. You are trying to get a new customer. Fail.
Maybe you should get a real job. Selling dildos is going to last a short time. People will help you once or twice but not eternity.
And if you can make more money, I'm sure you will do it. Not everyone wants a dildo or sex toys. They have other means to spice up the bedroom scene without buying anything.
Not even close. I don't want a new client from here- you're more than welcome to shop at the corporate website. Customers don't buy samples, I give them out as a service and in this case I would prefer that it not lead to repeat business.
If you think we only 'sell dildos' you're severely short sighted. Do some research, it's not all about buying bedroom accessories and honestly things that are for the bedroom are a small portion of our product line. The company has been around for 20 years and just expanded internationally I'm not at all worried about my job security. I appreciate your concern, i'll do what I do and you can laugh when i'm living on the streets. For now i'm more than happy with my situation and I don't see how my choice of occupation has any impact whatsoever on your life.
At least she has a fucking job and is not sitting on her ass surfing 2peas in a filthy house, scrimping by while her husband is at his second job. If you wanna hate, just hate her. Quit coming up with lame fucking excuses to do so.
I love her to death though. She's amazing and so much fun to hang out with. We just all need our quiet time to ourselves.
Is M in Carolina telling lies again? Didn't she have a thread about her Mom basically being the devil with years of abuse and horror stories thrown in for good measure? IIRC she was going to cut her out of her life because of her extreme narcissism. Now she's fun and amazing!!
Yes 142: M(ental) did claim that her mom was an abusive narcissist that she was going to cut out of her life. She lies so much that it looks like she can't keep all her stories straight
I never really thought much about stef until she showed up here. Now, I think she sounds overly defensive about her MLM job and she's being kind of a bitch about it. If it works for her, great, but it's annoying that she's coming here to defend her choice to do it. I never used to see where some of the hate for her was coming from, but now it makes a little more sense.
I'm an hourglass shape with a nice, shapely bum and large bosom. I look like a more petite Christina Hendricks. My evil SIL would have a cow if I sashayed around in tights--or even form fitting yoga pants. I get so angry that every time I look up, my 75 year old FIL and dh's brother are staring at my chest and drooling. ------------------------------------------- More insane bullshit from MinCarolina. I would love to hear her "evil" SIL's side of the story. I bet that she's the only one who doesn't buy into M's attention whoring and lying, and is therefore considered "evil."

I should have said child. I guess I'm not sure if it is her DD or DS, but I do remember it was real issues, and not pea snowflake coddling.
I'm sorry but I don't think her dd has that much of a problem I think she likes the attention and to bitch about it. Check out her op on this thread:
**********************
It appears both her kids have issues. I was talking about the low-functioning son.
I would be very interested to read some studies on siblings with autism, and if they can find any connections. It seems that within families that have autistic kids, there is a very high rate of multiple kids with autism. I wonder if there is more of a genetic component?
Wow the amount of parents that still read bedtime stories to their middle schoolers is ridiculous! No wonder why America is failing in test scores!!!
-------
The research now is saying that you should read to your kids as long as they will allow it, because hearing it read improves their comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency more than reading to themselves. It's not the involved, present parent reading Harry Potter to their eighth grader causing the test scores to go down, promise you.
EIGHTH GRADER! You have to be kidding me. Kids over the age of 7 should be able to read by themselves. Eighth grader, my god. Kids are having sex in the eighth grade.
There is a family in Utah that has SIX autistic kids, ranging from moderately high functioning to severely disabled. If you already had two or three autistic kids, wouldn't you think it's time to stop before you press your luck any further?

Reading comprehension dumbass. My 10 year old has been able to read on his own for almost 6 years, but I still read to him several nights a week. It is great for bonding, as well as strengthening reading skills.

Reading independently uses the brain differently than being read to aloud. My boss (the reading specialist at school) read to her kids until they moved out as near adults. They were reading Asimov as teenagers, together aloud. I think that is cool to dedicate that much time continuously to your kids.
Reading aloud to another person does not strengthen the brain past the age of two and a half. There is absolutely no reason a person over the age of 10 needs to be read to unless they have severe problems. Even kids who are delayed should be encouraged to read on their own. More importantly, I cannot imagine a normal teenager, much less one going off to college, being interested in having their parents read to them. God, no wonder professors want to hang themselves every fall when new students come in and call mommy and daddy to solve all their problems, do their homework for them, and argue with the professor about grades. A nation of idiots.
You are assuming that parents who read aloud to older children are helicopter parents. In my case this is not true. My oldest is only 10, but I have never called a teacher to fight a battle for him, gotten involved in any friend issues, or any of the other crap helicopter parents pull.
My son reads on his own, and we also read books together. It's something we both enjoy, and it is a springboard for great talks together. He spends more time reading alone than reading with me.
You learn the meaning of words, how to spell, and critical thinking skills by reading, not by listening to someone read to you. I can guarantee that most parents who are reading to their kids when they are teenagers are infantilzing the in other areas.
If you enjoy being read to that's one thing. That's called entertainment. That is not called becoming educated. Let's say a child is continually read to and didn't do much of it himself. Then the child was asked to use the words their, there, and they're in a sentence. Do you think listening to someone read to you gives you that comprehension? Again, you go to the movies to be entertained, not to learn enough to write your dissertation on the Civil War, dinosaurs, or what it's like being gay.
178, you seem to be (mistakenly) assuming that any older child who is read to will not also be reading independently. That's a pretty stupid assumption to make.
179 - You can't argue, period. I already stated that you learn to spell, word comprehension and critical thinking skills through reading, not listening. That is very well documented. I was giving you an example and you can't argue with it because there is no argument to deny it. If you want to say that your kid is entertained by listening, or that you bond, that's one thing. But to say that it somehow enhances their reading comprehension is total bullshit. It's simply entertainment when one enjoys listening to something.
Anytime scrappower responds on a thread, you can bet your ass it will go downhill from there. Bitch lives to argue, bitch, moan and whine. She is the liberal version of Typhus.

So the assumption is that the child lives in a complete vacuum, with the only learning going on is through being read to? What a great foundation for your argument.
184 - What's the point? Almost no one would be able to read it or even understand it unless you were available to read it to them. I've been on the receiving end of hundreds of papers, no doubt written by people whose parents read to them. Suffice it to say the literature is not wrong - you learn to spell, word meaning, contextual concepts by READING, not listening.
"Anytime scrappower responds on a thread, you can bet your ass it will go downhill from there. Bitch lives to argue, bitch, moan and whine. She is the liberal version of Typhus. "
And her latest update says she really doesn't care, but... Typical pea crap.
186 - That doesn't even make sense. Don't tell me, no one read to you as a child. Wait! You never read anything yourself - you were read to. It's very apparent.
184 - What's the point? Almost no one would be able to read it or even understand it unless you were available to read it to them. I've been on the receiving end of hundreds of papers, no doubt written by people whose parents read to them. Suffice it to say the literature is not wrong - you learn to spell, word meaning, contextual concepts by READING, not listening. ***********************************
I seriously do not understand your instance that it is an either/or thing. Being read to does not mean that a child can not also read alone. Isn't part of learning building on what you already know?
189 - Wouldn't the child learn the correct usage of their, there, and they're in English class? Reading would reinforce the correct usage. Being read to reinforces other skills, and builds upon skills a child already has.
172 you keep defending reading to older kids but your son is 10. I doubt anyone thinks you should never read to your child as long as he can read for himself, which I'm sure he can.
But I'm sorry reading to a 14 year old or a 17 year old is beyond ridiculous. I have never known a kid that age who would want to lay in bed and listen to their parent read them a story. I am super close to my two kids and we talk about everything and do lots of things together but I just can't imagine curling up in their beds and reading them a bed time story at that age.
Eh, are you bitching at the 5th and 6th grade teachers who read chapter books aloud to their class? --------------------------------------------------------------------- No and I haven't seen anyone say it's wrong to read to kids that age. Are 5th and 6th graders 14-18 years old? Those are the kids that are too old to be read too. They aren't "learning" anything at those ages by being read to. If they haven't learned it by then, then they won't. LOL. Reading aloud to a teenager at bedtime is beyond weird. But then again a lot of the pea kids are strange thanks to their weirdo parents. They treat their 14 year olds (especially sons) like they are 7 years old.
Who was the parent who wouldn't let her full grown 18 year old son sit in the front seat of the car with her? She made him sit in the back because that's where children are safest. Who was that? LOL
"I seriously do not understand your instance that it is an either/or thing. Being read to does not mean that a child can not also read alone. Isn't part of learning building on what you already know?'
Forget it. Some people just live to argue and it doesn't matter what tack you take they'll argue the opposite just to argue. They somehow believe it makes them smarter than you.
The only thing being read to reinforces is a person being entertained and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it does not help differentiate the meaning of words, enhance spelling, or allow a person to develop the skills to understand contextual meanings of sentences by listening. You have to actually see the words to make the connections in your brain. I never said there is anything wrong with reading to a kid until a certain age, I was arguing with people here who said they did so until their kids were ridiculously old and that it was promoting their reading comprehension. That's a load of crap. The people who write well, have the highest IQ's, have critical thinking skills, and who are the most successful in the majority of endeavors in their lives are independent, autonomous, responsible, open-minded and most importantly, are big readers. They do NOT have people reading to them. Your job as a parent is to make your kid an autonomous responsible adult, not a large infant. On a personal note, I would find it extremely creepy if I heard that a teenager had to rush home because mom was going to read him is bed time story.
People who use audio books are simply being entertained, as if they went to the movies. If they are attempting to earn a bachelor's degree by listening to audio books they certainly would be idiots and they would not be very successful.
OMG no one is saying that teenagers that are being read to can't read themselves. What I think the other poster is saying that is YOU keep saying reading to teenagers is educational and they "learn" something from it. I happen to disagree with that. What the hell are they learning by having you still reading to them at that age? Yes we know they can read for themselves. Yes we know they learn English in school. No one is doubting that. But they are not learning anything additional to that from YOU reading to them when they are 16 years old. You are reading and they are listening for entertainment value only.
But go on with your bad self and cuddle up to your 17 year old in bed and read them a bedtime story. What 17 year old wants to listen to mommy or daddy read them a story? What the hell is this Little House on the Prairie?
I guess some of you never heard of audio books. I guess all the adults who make use of those are just infantile idiots ---------------------------------------------- No they are not. But they do it for entertainment. They aren't learning anything from listening to an audiobook. I listen to them sometimes as well as read everyday. I don't believe for one second I have better reading comprehension skills from listening to someone read to me on an audiobook.
Read to your teenagers if you want to but don't try to say the reason you do so is because it's teaching them something or they are learning something from it. They are not. They are simply being entertained by you. At that point in their lives they have already learned it from reading on their own, English class at school and by you reading to them when they were YOUNG CHILDREN.

Even her mother came on NSBR and here to plead with her to stop acting like an obnoxious asshole and to start representing Christianity better. How embarrassed she must be knowing that all she does is pea during working school hours and that she has no friends or life. Peaing during labor, complaining her husband plays video games all night and won't screw her. The bucket would be a better place without her. Her mom didn't act like that. What's wrong with her?

I can't get over the putting your husband ahead of her children because...... someday they'll be gone! She's so gross!
Typhus is mad because someone pointed out how fat she is after she told them to get off their ass and go exercise. She should practice what she preaches. She's a hypocrite!
typhus' mom has never done anything but defend her jumbo, demon spawn.
She raised that horror of a human. She's obviously not a nice person or a good mother.

My menu for Thanksgiving:
Nothing.. Maybe some mashed potatoes. I have no turkey. My family is all too far away and my husband doesn't give a shit so why bother... I used to do everything for the family and now it's just 2 people and 1 doesn't care so fuck it.
Am I upset, nope. Just one less bullshit thing to deal with.
Well, 21, you should go shopping then at all the stores that everyone is so happy is open on TG day.
Or call up Scrappower at QVC or wherever she works. She loves it too.
I am taking my family out to eat on Thanksgiving Day. I don't have to cook or clean any. Win for me.
well, now you're just shitting all over hrcookie, 23. She and her chef husband say you shouldn't be so lazy and unskilled--cook your own damn dinner!!!111!!
Cookie can kiss my ass!!!!11!!!!!!!!111111!
I concur, 25! :)
Just because we choose to go out doesn't mean we can't cook, we can choose not to. I can put on one hell of a turkey dinner. I have a special way of doing my turkey with fresh herbs that gets raves. Doesn't mean I can never go out on Thanksgiving.
I'm taking the year off and going to my sister's house. She's in the mood to cook and I'm in the mood to let her.

29, I actually agree with the OP. My sister does the same thing. She doesn't bring anything or offer. She comes and eats (with her husband and one child) and immediately gets up from the table and starts packing up containers of food and they leave. It's rude as hell. I've told her it's rude but my mother and grandmother won't say anything to her so she keeps on doing it.

Why are they brownnosing STJ? It isn't like she does anything with NSBR anyway.
Let the Thanksgiving complaints begin:
Starting with: how rude to take home leftovers
Company was late.
Nothing for vegetarians to eat.
Uncle Ralph farted during dinner.
My college kid brought home his girlfriend and expected to sleep together
My sisters kids were texting all through dinner
Aunt Mary double dips.
Cousins kids were extreme brats with no manners
Brother in law showed up with a 24 pack of beer.
Cousin Sue blew her nose at table.
My 12 year old was forced to sit at the kids table and not next to me(mommy).
No one wanted to play cards/board games
17 year old nephew sulked the whole time.
15 year old Niece was dressed like a slut
Grandma showed up with man friend(who was not invited)
Dad's new girlfriend told my kids to call her granny
Mom won't come because dad new girlfriend will be there.
Uncle Dave turned on football game during dinner.
Neighbor kid kept ringing doorbell asking if kids could play.
Great Aunt Millie and Uncle Wilbur parked in our driveway.
Did I miss anything? hahaha
Add a complaint about relatives leaving early to shop Black Thursday sales, and you'd have it covered.
I'd be cool with everything on the list but these:
Uncle Ralph farted during dinner. Cousin Sue blew her nose at table.
I can deal with Uncle Ralph farting at the table. The nose blowing, nope.
You forget handing out cash gifts to some and not others during the meal

wtf are you babbling about, kelleyloho? ^
Some of our supermarkets offer a turkey for 50 cents/lb if you spend $50, or even a free turkey. So if she gets one of those free or cheap turkeys and is careful with what else she buys, I can see putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for $50- ish. Maybe her guests are bringing dishes, too.

It's not that hard to do, unless you're feeding 5 teenage boys! Most people have enough leftovers to feed an army. If she buys her vegetables at a farmer's market and doesn't go overboard on dozens of different dishes, it's quite doable.

==========================================
Not my idea of Thanksgiving but to each their own.
With the free 18lb turkey I got for free with a regular grocery purchase and all my sides from scratch, I don't think I even came close to spending $50. If you plan ahead and shop wisely, Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to break the bank. We don't have dozens of extravagant sides or a billion deserts, but we're feeding 8 adults and their kids and we'll have leftovers galore.
I can see the meal being expensive if you're buying a fresh, organic turkey and serving bacon-wrapped scallops or whatever for sides. I guess we're just boring and basic.
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow blog bitches. Hope you have a safe and joyous holiday.
Thank you 50.
And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, 50!

Love all the stuffing purists at 2P. StoveTop isn't the end of the world. I like it way more than my grandmother's dry, tasteless cornbread stuffing from scratch.
At least tksmom had enough sense to realize it would have hurt her MILs feelings to complain. It's not about making a gourmet meal, maybe that's all her MIL is able to do. It's about getting together with family and tksmom is really rude to be so picky about what food is served. I can imagine how hurt her MIL would be if she read what tksmom wrote. People have no class or manners any more.
Good point, 56. It isn't difficult to imagine somebody like MergeLeft criticizing the food to the cook's face.

I did LOL at the mental image of that DramaMama OP snoring on a couch in the mall, though. So very klassy ;)
Vine is video app kind of like YouTube except it's very short clips. 30 seconds I think. How can you not know this? It's been around for quite a while now.
The reason she said she laughed that Tishy responded first is because of Tishy's avatar. The wicked queen, hence "mirror mirror on the wall...."
You must be an idiot.
Where have you people been? You don't know Vine? Do you know Instagram? How about YouTube or Twitter? What about Facebook? Good Lord.
I've heard of all of that. Never heard of vine. I'm still alive and your life isn't over because I've never heard of it. Good Lord, get over it.
Another who had not heard of vine. The other shit-yes. Thanks to the blog bitch who gave the explanation-even if you were kind of cunty about it :)
Kind of?

No one picked up on grammanisi's family drama on this thread?? Sounds like a fun time!!
I remember the grammanisi drama bs from last year. She's NurseSweet's mother, right? Sounds like some trailer trash there.
They are totally white trash. I came up on their friend that they were asking everyone to pray for in a weird facebook six degrees of separation. Grammanisi and her daughter are trash even by trash's standards. Notice how full they are of drama---very Jerry Springer-ish.
The peas should stop watching tv all together because everything has offended them lately.
I see SweetieBugs is filled with the spirit of the holidays. If you want to be stingy with your food, don't host a meal. If you can't understand that hosting a meal means giving people the food they want, then don't do it. If people want the damn leftovers, give them the damn leftovers. Nothing like the Christian spirit of thankfulness that pervades those passive-aggressive peas.
Teens mostly use Vine. That's probably why some here have never heard of it.
Sweetie bugs is bitching about people coming early, late, and on time. She's started 3 or 4 threads about her horrible in-laws.

I made a no bake peanut butter cake from a box for our dessert this Thanksgiving. The box read
Add 1-1/3 cups water
So I asked my DH so is that one, 1/3 cup of water or is it one and 1/3 cups ? He wasn't sure so we asked our neighbors, they weren't sure either.
So what I did was added 1/3 cup of water followed the directions and looked at the picture on the side of the box it wasn't as moist as the picture looked so I went ahead and added the cup and it turned out the way it was supposed to, but man the directions were confusing to us.
Sometimes directions are just plain confusing.

4/3 water wouldn't be confusing, huh?
Yes, 78. Some other dumbass fucked up her StoveTop stuffing "recipe" because she can't add 2/3 and 2/3. Unreal.

Wow you are a special kind of stupid if you can't figure this out. Even if you can't add 2/3 plus 2/3s, you could still simply pour the first 2/3s cup in and then pour in a second 2/3s.
She's the one who claims to have fed 6 people Thanksgiving for 50 bucks. If her math sucks that bad I wonder how much it really cost her.
I think it's very sad that there are so many grown adults who can't seem to do the simplest math or figure out what 1 1/3 means. Why would anyone ask advice from any of these people?

If she's using common core it's acceptable if she can explain it.
I'm in Europe where we typically measure ingredients by weight, but even I think there must be something retarded about not understanding 1 1/3 cups as anything other than one whole cup and one third of a whole cup. I have used American cups and it is easy as pie, saves weighing everything out. Surely people still learn fractions in grade school? If you do, there is no way to read 1 1/3 as meaning only 1/3! They only teach one way to note fractions for god's sake. Math, whether it is simple or complex is only not chaos because we have all learned to notate it the same way. How the fuck do four out of four people not know how to read what 1 !/3 means?????????????? It means the same everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mind you, I used to be equally shocked at those biddies on GS who used to let slip they didn't know how to use a ruler. I admit, I would have a hard time even contemplating where to begin teaching a full grown adult how to use a ruler for measuring. Are not the evenly spaced numbers and notches sort of self explanatory? :D
I know a friend here who has a child with a substance abuse problem. Eventually the child is going to kill herself because she is sniffing canned air. This is a big problem where we are in Europe and lots of teenagers die from it. I am trying to be sympathetic but part of me wants to say either get her help or cut her off. I know it's terrible. I need to be more compassionate towards the friend's daughter. I am asking a smack blog to tell me how to be more compassionate where at the pod they would bite my head off for not caring enough.
#88...go to the Pod and search for CheriV....her daughter DIED from "dusting" which is what your friend's daughter is doing. She has a website also.

Yes, but that isn't what we are talking about here. The question isn't if her husband could be a closet homo. I wouldn't suspect a thing about my husband txtng a man friend, as the above person pointed out. But in THIS case it is a woman, and she isn't questioning his sexuality. She is questioning whether this female co-worker and him are a little too close for comfort. I don't blame her.
Poor bastard husband can't have a female friend - marriage is fucking doomed. His stoooopid wife should just ask to get introduced, have a coffee and chill the fuck out. FFS - people of the opposite sex DO talk, ya know!!
Not in the pea world 99, the only thing a woman could possibly want from a man is a sexual relationship.
Women are evil creatures out to steal either their dhs or their sons away from them.
I'm sitting next to 99 on this one. She needs to get a grip and just accept that her husband has a female friend.
Anyone here watch Masters of Sex on Showtime? Barton Scully is a closet homo.
I guess it depends on the dynamics of your marriage. Neither me or my DH would be okay with cutesy little texts between co-workers of the opposite sex. Not because we don't trust each other, but that is how shit gets started. Also the mousy Christian single co-worker might be the one to develop "other ideas", the next thing you know you could be dealing with a freaking stalker. Yes, I have seen this happen at my very own workplace when a woman "friend" got the wrong idea. It didn't end up pretty. Besides, the bottom line is that if it makes the wife uneasy, then he shouldn't have any problem knocking it off if it is truly innocent.
FFS, 103 - in your world, 'hey, how you doing today?' would be "cutsey". Get a fucking grip . ADULTS have relationships. Sometimes, they are even mature enough to do so with members of the opposite sex. If YOUR husband is a fucking douchbag, that's kind of YOUR problem.
I wish him all the best, BTW, and hope he wakes up soon. All the very best to the poor bastard.
Sweet Dreams and Want me to bring you a cookie are not hey how you doing today. Those are cutsey. Next up, pet rabbit cooking in pot. HAHA.
It's pretty hard to take sexual attraction out of a relationship, especially with men. Women might view male coworkers as just friends, and men might even kid themselves that a female coworker is just a friend, but there is always an element of sexual tension in every relationship. You are an idiot and a fool to believe otherwise. Not all men will act on it, but many (at least 60%) will. Rarely will a man send cutesy texts to a female he finds repulsive.
Women act on these things as much as men. It takes two and all that shit.
Yes but husbands commit adultery in much higher numbers than wives do. So it would follow that many husbands are having affairs with single women.

I'm all for teaching kids about giving and helping out with charities but for some reason I think this sucks.
***********************************************************************************
The kid is 12 and already has an iPad and a bunch of robotics. If he is like most 12 year olds I know he probably has an XBOX or a PS3. And after the donation she is still spending $500 on him.
What about this sucks exactly?

=========================================
I don't know, it just seems like she's forcing the kid to donate part of his Christmas money and birthday money. I guess it bugs me because when I was a child my mom always took any cash I received and kept it, she didn't even bother to lie and say it was going for clean water in some hell hole.

Seriously? Is she for real?
scrappower is getting annoying on the thread about the husband getting texts from the chick at work. WE KNOW...YOUR husband would NEVER cheat blah blah blah. But history shows again and again that many affairs start out exactly this way. Nothing wrong with OP being upset, in fact, she is one smart cookie for checking things out.
Meh I agree with scrappower and ilovebuble on that thread. "Vonnie" is being a cunt as usual. Her husband is no prize and no one wants to fuck him. Only the peas can turn a Hello text with a question mark (omgwtfbbq) into a he is cheating you dumb twat post.
I am all for having friends and maybe they are "just friends" but her husband sending "Sweet Dreams" and talking about bringing her a chocolate chip cookie reeks of him flirting with her. The OP also says he talks about her constantly. I find it weird but go ahead and say I'm a prude or a horrible wife..
I don't think it's kikipea's husband. You all have good detective skills though. Figure it out! Now I want to know! Let's start gathering clues from our spreadsheets.
I don't ever let my husband leave the house, have any friends, own a cell phone or a computer, so he will NEVER cheat.
Hello?
Can I bring you a cookie? Sweet dreams.

Well someone else said maybe sunshine or pennyring, but they are both agnostic/atheist so I'm pretty sure their DH's wouldn't be attracted to a Nice Virginal Christian Lady.
I don't think it is either of them. The no kids thing along with the other clues should give it away. I never thought of trying to figure out the author of anonymous posts.

Just because someone is a atheist doesn't mean they won't fuck a Christian. Especially if he's just looking for something on the side not a new relationship.
I'm curious...Steph says she makes all this money doing the MLM thing. But how much is "a lot" in StephWorld?
Anyone know how much she is actually making? I picture it being not very much
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=15&thread_id=3263346
Who cares? I wouldn't be willing to shill dildos and beg ppl to have parties.

I thought it might be Kiki at first, but doesn't the OP say she works? I thought Kiki was a SAHW (aka lazy). Other than that, it sure sounded like Kiki when I skimmed it.
I think it is kiki, and she changed a few small details to throw the peas off track. The writing style seems like hers.
another vote for kiki. It does sound like her. Annoying posting style and all.
Wow, i'm surprised this blog is still here (well, kind of here. 127 posts in almost a week? You're slipping!)
I don't recall ever saying i'm making a ton of money that is clearly subjective. I will say that I feel that i'm well compensated for the amount of hours that I work. From pictures posted from different awards ceremonies you can see that my team did over a million dollars in sales in 2012 and the requirement fort he cruise I won was $80,000 in personal sales. I make between 1-5% on my teams sales 4 lines down and 55% of my personal sales as a baseline.
Is there more money to make? Absolutely. Would I like my income to increase? Without a doubt. Will it? If I decide it will.
I've been blessed with an amazing opportunity, a wonderfully supportive family, a way to support my family comfortably and a team that I adore more than anything. I'm certainly not complaining.
Message me if you want some samples ;) You know where to find me.
Gawd. The Staph infection is here.
Have no idea why steph feels the need to show up here and shill. FFS, this is why people HATE to deal with assholes who join the MLMs.
are you a regular, Steph, or did a 'friend' tell you to come here?
Let me guess--somebody peamailed her. No self-respecting pea would come here otherwise. @@

Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. Take your bullshit somewhere else, Staph. Nobody here is going to buy your shit. It's just a matter of time before you're back to being a single mom living off welfare I'm sure.
I've checked here on and off throughout the years. Things used to get entertaining but the last year or more? Not so much. Looking at the numbers it looks like y'all are kind of sick of yourselves. I've never posted here but when I do it'll be under my name. There isn't much worth saying if you can't own it. I don't need my friends to send me links when people are talking about me- real friends wouldn't send it to me anyway. I'm a big girl and I can read just fine on my own.
130- I'm shilling? What exactly? I'm not here for any personal profit or gain and i'm not promoting anything at all. If you would like a free sample i'm more than happy to send you one but you'll need to contact me. That's not going to make me any profit or any new clientele in fact it'll cost me money. I'm simply offering you something that will make your day a little better. I'm certain you could use it.
A question about me was asked and I answered it, that's hardly forcing you to deal with a MLM asshole. I really don't want or need your business but I have no problem answering a question about what I do unless the question was meant for someone who is more knowledgable about my income than I am.
Anyone?

I call that shilling. You are trying to get a new customer. Fail.
Maybe you should get a real job. Selling dildos is going to last a short time. People will help you once or twice but not eternity.
And if you can make more money, I'm sure you will do it. Not everyone wants a dildo or sex toys. They have other means to spice up the bedroom scene without buying anything.
Not even close. I don't want a new client from here- you're more than welcome to shop at the corporate website. Customers don't buy samples, I give them out as a service and in this case I would prefer that it not lead to repeat business.
If you think we only 'sell dildos' you're severely short sighted. Do some research, it's not all about buying bedroom accessories and honestly things that are for the bedroom are a small portion of our product line. The company has been around for 20 years and just expanded internationally I'm not at all worried about my job security. I appreciate your concern, i'll do what I do and you can laugh when i'm living on the streets. For now i'm more than happy with my situation and I don't see how my choice of occupation has any impact whatsoever on your life.
Last night I dreamed that I fucked Tom Hardy......and it was gooooooooood!
At least she has a fucking job and is not sitting on her ass surfing 2peas in a filthy house, scrimping by while her husband is at his second job.
If you wanna hate, just hate her. Quit coming up with lame fucking excuses to do so.
I love her to death though. She's amazing and so much fun to hang out with. We just all need our quiet time to ourselves.
Is M in Carolina telling lies again? Didn't she have a thread about her Mom basically being the devil with years of abuse and horror stories thrown in for good measure? IIRC she was going to cut her out of her life because of her extreme narcissism. Now she's fun and amazing!!
Here's the thread
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=3252170#31312591
Yes 142: M(ental) did claim that her mom was an abusive narcissist that she was going to cut out of her life. She lies so much that it looks like she can't keep all her stories straight

Wow the amount of parents that still read bedtime stories to their middle schoolers is ridiculous! No wonder why America is failing in test scores!!!
I never really thought much about stef until she showed up here. Now, I think she sounds overly defensive about her MLM job and she's being kind of a bitch about it. If it works for her, great, but it's annoying that she's coming here to defend her choice to do it. I never used to see where some of the hate for her was coming from, but now it makes a little more sense.
I'm an hourglass shape with a nice, shapely bum and large bosom. I look like a more petite Christina Hendricks. My evil SIL would have a cow if I sashayed around in tights--or even form fitting yoga pants. I get so angry that every time I look up, my 75 year old FIL and dh's brother are staring at my chest and drooling.
-------------------------------------------
More insane bullshit from MinCarolina.
I would love to hear her "evil" SIL's side of the story. I bet that she's the only one who doesn't buy into M's attention whoring and lying, and is therefore considered "evil."
That bitch is whacked beyond belief.
I wonder if the anonymous pea with the husband that wanted more in the bedroom contacted Steph???
I can't imagine reading to my 14 year old at bedtime. LOL That is ridiculous.
Iscrapcrap seems very bitter over her child that will never leave the home. I wonder how these other peas will be when they realize their spectrum kids won't ever leav either since they coddle them so much.
Steph rocks. I think you are jealous because she is HAPPY in life. Typical.

It would suck if you had a kid so delayed they wouldn't be able to function on their on as an adult. I'd be bitter also. I do wonder about do dogs have brains and her son. I'm guessing she'll keep him around as long as possible to keep from ever having to work.
Well iscrapcrap is now basically saying they will have no Christmas, why not do something about it rather than bitching passive aggressively to peas?

Right I'm jealous of a divorced over weight woman in Ohio maybe? Somewhere in the mid-west who makes her living by selling dildos.
iscrapcrap gets a pass from me. She has talked about her son before, and I have no idea how she does it. In her case, I'm pretty sure it's not coddling, it is real and severe issues.

Someone else chimed in and said there are warmer places. I don't give a shit if she moves...no dog...

It appears both her kids have issues. I was talking about the low-functioning son.
I would be very interested to read some studies on siblings with autism, and if they can find any connections. It seems that within families that have autistic kids, there is a very high rate of multiple kids with autism. I wonder if there is more of a genetic component?

The research now is saying that you should read to your kids as long as they will allow it, because hearing it read improves their comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency more than reading to themselves. It's not the involved, present parent reading Harry Potter to their eighth grader causing the test scores to go down, promise you.
EIGHTH GRADER! You have to be kidding me. Kids over the age of 7 should be able to read by themselves. Eighth grader, my god. Kids are having sex in the eighth grade.
There is a family in Utah that has SIX autistic kids, ranging from moderately high functioning to severely disabled. If you already had two or three autistic kids, wouldn't you think it's time to stop before you press your luck any further?

Reading comprehension dumbass. My 10 year old has been able to read on his own for almost 6 years, but I still read to him several nights a week. It is great for bonding, as well as strengthening reading skills.
To reiterate, it's not that they can't read!

Reading independently uses the brain differently than being read to aloud. My boss (the reading specialist at school) read to her kids until they moved out as near adults. They were reading Asimov as teenagers, together aloud. I think that is cool to dedicate that much time continuously to your kids.
I think this is a nation of infants.

****************8
Why?
Reading aloud to another person does not strengthen the brain past the age of two and a half. There is absolutely no reason a person over the age of 10 needs to be read to unless they have severe problems. Even kids who are delayed should be encouraged to read on their own. More importantly, I cannot imagine a normal teenager, much less one going off to college, being interested in having their parents read to them. God, no wonder professors want to hang themselves every fall when new students come in and call mommy and daddy to solve all their problems, do their homework for them, and argue with the professor about grades. A nation of idiots.
You are assuming that parents who read aloud to older children are helicopter parents. In my case this is not true. My oldest is only 10, but I have never called a teacher to fight a battle for him, gotten involved in any friend issues, or any of the other crap helicopter parents pull.
My son reads on his own, and we also read books together. It's something we both enjoy, and it is a springboard for great talks together. He spends more time reading alone than reading with me.
You learn the meaning of words, how to spell, and critical thinking skills by reading, not by listening to someone read to you. I can guarantee that most parents who are reading to their kids when they are teenagers are infantilzing the in other areas.
Eh, are you bitching at the 5th and 6th grade teachers who read chapter books aloud to their class?
There's nothing wrong with reading aloud to someone as long as all parties are enjoying it.
The dumbing down of this nation has far more to do with TV, video games, and electronics than it does with reading.
it sounds like myshelly has shown up to argue to the death

If you enjoy being read to that's one thing. That's called entertainment. That is not called becoming educated. Let's say a child is continually read to and didn't do much of it himself. Then the child was asked to use the words their, there, and they're in a sentence. Do you think listening to someone read to you gives you that comprehension? Again, you go to the movies to be entertained, not to learn enough to write your dissertation on the Civil War, dinosaurs, or what it's like being gay.
That is your argument 178?? Nevermind, you win. I can't argue with stupid.

178, you seem to be (mistakenly) assuming that any older child who is read to will not also be reading independently. That's a pretty stupid assumption to make.
179 - You can't argue, period. I already stated that you learn to spell, word comprehension and critical thinking skills through reading, not listening. That is very well documented. I was giving you an example and you can't argue with it because there is no argument to deny it. If you want to say that your kid is entertained by listening, or that you bond, that's one thing. But to say that it somehow enhances their reading comprehension is total bullshit. It's simply entertainment when one enjoys listening to something.

Wonder no more. She won't go back to that thread. She never answers questions or callouts. She a notorious shit-and-run pea.
Pat, pat, pat 182. Yes, you are so right. You should write a book!
Anytime scrappower responds on a thread, you can bet your ass it will go downhill from there. Bitch lives to argue, bitch, moan and whine. She is the liberal version of Typhus.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So the assumption is that the child lives in a complete vacuum, with the only learning going on is through being read to? What a great foundation for your argument.
184 - What's the point? Almost no one would be able to read it or even understand it unless you were available to read it to them. I've been on the receiving end of hundreds of papers, no doubt written by people whose parents read to them. Suffice it to say the literature is not wrong - you learn to spell, word meaning, contextual concepts by READING, not listening.

186 - That doesn't even make sense. Don't tell me, no one read to you as a child. Wait! You never read anything yourself - you were read to. It's very apparent.

***********************************
I seriously do not understand your instance that it is an either/or thing. Being read to does not mean that a child can not also read alone. Isn't part of learning building on what you already know?
189 - Wouldn't the child learn the correct usage of their, there, and they're in English class? Reading would reinforce the correct usage. Being read to reinforces other skills, and builds upon skills a child already has.
172 you keep defending reading to older kids but your son is 10. I doubt anyone thinks you should never read to your child as long as he can read for himself, which I'm sure he can.
But I'm sorry reading to a 14 year old or a 17 year old is beyond ridiculous. I have never known a kid that age who would want to lay in bed and listen to their parent read them a story. I am super close to my two kids and we talk about everything and do lots of things together but I just can't imagine curling up in their beds and reading them a bed time story at that age.
Eh, are you bitching at the 5th and 6th grade teachers who read chapter books aloud to their class?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
No and I haven't seen anyone say it's wrong to read to kids that age. Are 5th and 6th graders 14-18 years old? Those are the kids that are too old to be read too. They aren't "learning" anything at those ages by being read to. If they haven't learned it by then, then they won't. LOL. Reading aloud to a teenager at bedtime is beyond weird. But then again a lot of the pea kids are strange thanks to their weirdo parents. They treat their 14 year olds (especially sons) like they are 7 years old.
Who was the parent who wouldn't let her full grown 18 year old son sit in the front seat of the car with her? She made him sit in the back because that's where children are safest. Who was that? LOL
"I seriously do not understand your instance that it is an either/or thing. Being read to does not mean that a child can not also read alone. Isn't part of learning building on what you already know?'
Forget it. Some people just live to argue and it doesn't matter what tack you take they'll argue the opposite just to argue. They somehow believe it makes them smarter than you.
The only thing being read to reinforces is a person being entertained and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it does not help differentiate the meaning of words, enhance spelling, or allow a person to develop the skills to understand contextual meanings of sentences by listening. You have to actually see the words to make the connections in your brain. I never said there is anything wrong with reading to a kid until a certain age, I was arguing with people here who said they did so until their kids were ridiculously old and that it was promoting their reading comprehension. That's a load of crap. The people who write well, have the highest IQ's, have critical thinking skills, and who are the most successful in the majority of endeavors in their lives are independent, autonomous, responsible, open-minded and most importantly, are big readers. They do NOT have people reading to them. Your job as a parent is to make your kid an autonomous responsible adult, not a large infant. On a personal note, I would find it extremely creepy if I heard that a teenager had to rush home because mom was going to read him is bed time story.
I guess some of you never heard of audio books. I guess all the adults who make use of those are just infantile idiots.
People who use audio books are simply being entertained, as if they went to the movies. If they are attempting to earn a bachelor's degree by listening to audio books they certainly would be idiots and they would not be very successful.
OMG no one is saying that teenagers that are being read to can't read themselves. What I think the other poster is saying that is YOU keep saying reading to teenagers is educational and they "learn" something from it. I happen to disagree with that. What the hell are they learning by having you still reading to them at that age? Yes we know they can read for themselves. Yes we know they learn English in school. No one is doubting that. But they are not learning anything additional to that from YOU reading to them when they are 16 years old. You are reading and they are listening for entertainment value only.
But go on with your bad self and cuddle up to your 17 year old in bed and read them a bedtime story. What 17 year old wants to listen to mommy or daddy read them a story? What the hell is this Little House on the Prairie?
I guess some of you never heard of audio books. I guess all the adults who make use of those are just infantile idiots
----------------------------------------------
No they are not. But they do it for entertainment. They aren't learning anything from listening to an audiobook. I listen to them sometimes as well as read everyday. I don't believe for one second I have better reading comprehension skills from listening to someone read to me on an audiobook.
Read to your teenagers if you want to but don't try to say the reason you do so is because it's teaching them something or they are learning something from it. They are not. They are simply being entertained by you. At that point in their lives they have already learned it from reading on their own, English class at school and by you reading to them when they were YOUNG CHILDREN.
Does anyone else think it's hilarious that there is at least one person here fighting for reading to their grown adult child? LOL.
I bet Ellapea reads to her son in bed. LOL Or tries to and he yells at her to get out.
