It wasn't considered party-worthy by anyone I suppose. Actually, I'd never thought about it before. Boy did I get cheated. Well, sooner don't feel bad...I graduated in 1966, and didn't get a thing. Nor from college. I think today society is more kid centered, they spend a lot on the kids...whether they have it or not. Both my daughters were broke, tired,. OMG, senior year opened with expensive portraits, then the expensive ordering of ann...

Around here (upper midwest) I know of NO one that would not throw a graduation party for their child. They are never in restaurants or 5 star resorts but in back yards with family(extended), neighbors, and friends. The same with college graduations. I honestly can not understand not wanting to celebrate these types of passage. We must live in a similar area, because it's the same here. The back yard grad parties go on for weeks before and after graduation...

Our view was that graduating high school was an expectation, not an accomplishment It may be an expectation, but it's still a milestone. In my family, graduating from college, getting married, and having children was pretty much an expectation too, but that doesn't mean we didn't celebrate everything in some way. A birthday is not an accomplishment and people certainly celebrate those. I'm not saying you're not entitled to your way of thinking. Just presenting an oppos...

The party started at midnight and lasted until this morning. There were 20 kids in attendance. Last year a couple in our town had a big after prom party and provided liquor to the kids. They were arrested. "They were arrested" - as they should have been. I do not understand parent who think they are doing their kids a favor by doing this.

Our view was that graduating high school was an expectation, not an accomplishment while it was certainly an expectation it is also a rite of passage. lets face it, getting married, having children, religious baptism, and other such things really aren't an accomplishment but we celebrate those. If we don't celebrate life and it's passages it seems to be a bit boring to me. All of our kids went on to graduate college and all went on to post graduate degrees so certainly high school was not the be... Continue Reading In Mom to Mom Forum 1367062344.107 wow!

It further states that Lisa Bearson is making debut w a brand new show on HSN-selling lots of fun & cool scrapbooking & paper crafting products. I really don't think it is about money at all. I think it is more about a mom who knew that her kids were growing up and she was missing too much stuff. She now has only two kids at home so getting away is a bit easier. The story for a lot of women. It is on Lisa's blog this morning too: I’m so excited to be hosting a show on ...

Triceps are really hard for me to keep toned. The best way I found is to do tripcep dips. When I walk outside, I walk with hand weights too. 5 lb. weights? Really? This is not going to do anything! You need to stress the muscle and 5 lbs isn't enough. You're fooling yourself. Do some research into this. At least you're trying. Walking with hand (or leg) weights is not a good idea. It can cause injury. Keep weight training & walking separate. While I agree that ...

I have a program that is designed by someone with a masters degree in exercise science and has several professional certifications. He laughs at those and about all he will say is that we should keep in mind "that they were designed by a man for the use of women". LOL!! They are the joke of the professionals. For the original poster - get yourself on a program of weight lifting of all kinds. I am almost 60 and there is not an ounce of jiggle on my arms. But there...
