Is this normal? I don’t know. They got internet messages from Santa telling them what they need to work on and that they were good kids. It helped. http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home I think this will be the last year for our eldest to believe in Santa. He’s ready. I wrote about that in a guest post on Myndi Shafer's blog last week. *Sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-34702092882972880622011-12-15T00:18:04.715-05:002011-12-15T00:18:04.715-05:00My baby boy is 37 and was an only child so the onl...My baby boy is 37 and was an only child so the only conversations like this I recall were between myself and my younger brother and sister when we were young.<br /><br />I became my mother in a lot of ways, too.

As of late, it's been me and my middle brother arguing about whether or not I'm being picky by only applying for jobs that fit my skills, interests, and experience. His main point to me: employers will train. My main point to him: why are certain skills requirements if the company will train new hires? It's a never ending battle.<br /><br />And yes, the Hippie is correct: all girls will become their mother.

I love the giveaway and think it is an awesome way to honor and remember Zeke. <br /><br />I think all kids fight with their siblings- it is part of growing up. I fought with my step-sister growing up and now those are the stories we laugh about when we get together. <br /><br />I think the Hippie should email Santa- or send him a letter snail mail. She can explain herself. Hey- Santa of all people needs to understand that sometimes you just need to save face in front of others. :) Also- I think it is hilarious that the Scribe is turning into you. It happens to all of us! lol<br /><br />~Jess<br />http://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/DMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-82512586845820138022011-12-14T18:11:12.675-05:002011-12-14T18:11:12.675-05:00My brother and I would fight almost to the death, ...My brother and I would fight almost to the death, but oddly at Christmas we would band together in sneakiness to find out what we were getting.

I think the Hippis should say her prayers like always and ask for forgiveness because God always grants forgiveness as soon as he's asked by a believer.

It's great that you keep these moments alive through your writing, because they are so fleeting otherwise. Did my two kids squabble when they were little? Yes. Do they squabble you've they're grown up? Yes. What should The Hippie do about her Santa dilemma?

It is practically nonstop Thunderdome at my house. <br /><br />As for Santa, usually right before Christmas he'll call to make sure the boys are behaving, ask them what they want, and give them some last minute advice on cleaning up their acts. <br /><br />Oddly enough none of them have ever questioned the "coincidence" that Santa always calls when I'm out of the house on some errand. :)Rick Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703091917685458099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-76720291021542000102011-12-14T11:58:52.173-05:002011-12-14T11:58:52.173-05:00Your Hippie is very smart!

She believed in Santa until this year (she's 11). When I lived at home, if I wanted something done and I didn't want to do it, I would ask her to do it. If she said no, I'd tell her that Santa wasn't going to come visit her, and up she got! I could basically get her to do anything I wanted if I told her she wouldn't get anything for Christmas, her birthday, and any other time someone would get presents!<br /><br />Your girls kill me!

I guess the course of action depends greatly on whether or not she is going to gt that DSI. <br /><br />If she is, encourage her to come clean with the kids at school and Santa will see that she's set her wrong right and will reward her. If she doesn't you can just tell her Santa knows everything and he knew that even though she didn't come clean she was still sorry for what she did. <br /><br />If she's not, still go with the Santa knows she's sorry bit and that's why he didn't skip her house altogether. <br /><br />Yes, I'm amazing. I know. No need to thank me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
