There is nothing cuter than a little kid in fresh denim.

Due to some event, I have to ramble
With Stampede around the corner here in Calgary, that means getting “suited up” in some new jeans, plaid shirts, hats, and boots (if that’s your thing). Denim is so important to the Calgary Stampede experience that one of the tag lines for Stampede 101 promotion is Denim Pants Were Made To Dance.

Awesome.

dENiZEN® jeans from Levi’s are an exclusive line to Target and, just in time for Stampede outfitting, they have arrived at Target stores in Canada. It’s a line of quality, great fitting, affordable denim that has something for everyone in the family.

Charlie and I have been ‘test driving’ the jeans this week.

Moo is a fashion slave, too
My wife, Jennifer, is in love with Charlie’s 218 Slim Straight jeans. She loves the dual color stitching on the pockets, and the dark color of the denim. It’s soft, not stiff, and the branding on the waist instead of a tag is great for little kids where tags often squish up and are a bother.

Let's keep talking about jeans all day!
The pocket detail is very cute, as is the big black button and tag. The red gromet on the back is a nice detail that stands out.

“They are so sharp,” she kept saying. “He just looks so sharp.”

That they are.

I hate my step son with every fiber of my being. We used to only have him every other weekend and I would just hide in my room those weekends. Now we have him 100% of the time and he is driving me INSANE. I think about divorce at least once/week just because of this fucking retard.

Quote

He did horribly in public school, so his dad decided I should homeschool him. He is ten years old, but my three year old is smarter than him. More than once, my three year old has answered a question that the little fuckwad didn't know the answer to.

Quote

He still pisses AND shits himself. No joke, one day I kept smelling something foul and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I thought maybe the cats and taken a dump, so I cleaned their box.... NOPE. I smelled it all through breakfast and while I did my morning chores. I took a shower and had to pass his room and realized that I smelled the stench again. STILL didn't occur to me that the idiot had shit himself, so I went downstairs. About thirty minutes later, he was on the couch (watching fucking Thomas the Train, because he is a COMPLETE AND UTTER RETARD) and I FINALLY realized that the smell was coming from him. He NEVER EVER responds when you talk to him, so I just asked if he knew he smelled. NO RESPONSE. Then it hit me - HE SHIT HIS GODDAMN PANTS. I say "Did you poop your pants?" and he just stares at me. Eventually he says "I guess I'll go take a bath." UH DUHHHHH!!! Did you really fucking eat breakfast, play with toys, and watch tv ALL WHILE SITTING IN YOUR OWN SHIT? Yes, he did.

Quote

He is also ugly as FUCK. He has buck teeth that are brighter than the sun and I want to punch them out of his scrawny fucking face every time he stares at me when I ask a simple question.

Quote

My daughter adores him and tries to play with him, but gets so frustrated because he won't ever respond to anything she says. I eventually have to yell "RESPOND WHEN SHE TALKS TO YOU, PLEASE!" and he'll eventually say something totally fucking stupid. He is a complete follower with no imagination or personality of his own. When he is around his significantly younger cousins, he copies everything they say and do and laughs when he has no fucking idea what is going on.

Quote

He has like three chores that he has to do every day (make his bed, empty the trash from the bathrooms, and put his laundry away). YET every single day, if you don't break it down god damn Barney style for him, he "forgets" how to do them. Seriously. The other day I told him to take care of the trash and he came down with his arms full of used toilet paper and pads and shit because he "forgot" that he was just supposed to take the bags out and replace them. WTF? THAT IS A SPECIAL KIND OF RETARDED!!! Literally EVERY SINGLE DAY, I have to tell him how to do his chores again.

Quote

His NANA, who lives right across the street, babies him like fucking crazy. She still picks him up and carries him on her hip through stores (he is small for his age) and rocks him. HOLY FUCK, I cannot stand it. She thinks that he is right on track academically (nevermind that I had to purchase kindergarten curriculum instead of grade 5 after realizing that he didn't even know all of his letters) and that it is other kids who are "too advanced". She tells my husband that it is completely normal for him to pee and poop himself and that it will just go away. SOOOO DH doesn't do shit and just lets him run around completely uneducated and having more accidents than my potty trained three year old. Oh! And one time, my daughter had colored stuffed blocks with her and RETARD said "This one is blue!" and Nana actually said "Good job!" and made a giant fucking stink about the idiot knowing what blue looks like. I am embarrassed to take him in public because people have literally asked if something was wrong with him. So I just stay locked up in my house with the fucking retard all day long.

Quote

He sounds like a really stupid retard, when your husband isn't home you should hit him and force him to learn. Or give him up for adoption when your husband leaves home. Or make it look like he ran away. When you actually kill him. And you should make him eat his poop and spoil your daughter and not let her play with him. We don't want a smart child to catch his retardism.

Q. Soon to Be Former In-Law: My wife and I just learned our daughter and her husband have decided to divorce. It's for a reason discussed here before—he wants children, she doesn't. We're stunned and hurt because he was up-front about this and she has come to a conclusion which we feel is more about her social lifestyle than parenting. But it is what it is and it is her choice. Problem is that we've been crazy about the young man from the first time we met him (he's everything you dreamed of your daughter marrying, i.e. funny, successful, outgoing) and now we are experiencing an incredible sense of loss. It just sounds too weird to think of trying to maintain a relationship with him, after all he's got time to go meet someone else, marry, and have a family, and our daughter would never forgive us. But we're experiencing severe depression over this, to the point where we're actually communicating less with our daughter who we believe is the unreasonable party in this case. What should we do to go on from here?

A: This is a loss. It's a loss of someone you've come to love dearly, and it's the loss of a future you thought would happen. But you're right that it's only going to be destructive to you to take your son-in-law's side in this situation. He will move on, and you don't want to have a damaged relationship with your daughter. This doesn't mean you have hide everything you're feeling, you just have to temper it. You can tell your daughter you feel a sense of mourning because she did choose someone wonderful to spend her life with, and unfortunately it hasn't worked out. Since she couldn't be persuaded by the man she loves to have children, there's no good to come out of your telling her how superficial you feel her decision is and how likely she is to regret it. As you say, this is her choice. If you have some dear friends you feel comfortable in confiding in, this is the kind of thing that it helps to just get off your chest. If you don't want to talk about this with your social group, seek sort-term counseling. Sometimes you just need a sympathetic ear and a box of Kleenex.

Once we get our EBT card, there will be about $1046 on it. Shoprite is running a deal where if you buy $75 worth of certain Kraft and Unilever brands, (the 3rd is proctor and gamble,so no food with them)they will give you a $25 gas card. You can get up to 3 gas cards by June 29th so what we are going to do is buy $75 worth of Unilever brands and $75 worth of Kraft brands. That will give us the 2 gas cards, all we have to do is go back up to the cashier with 2 gas cards for 2 different gas stations and the certificates that print out with our receipt and bam! free $50 in gas. It works out perfectly for us because we just applied for cash assistance so we wont get it until at least next week and we don't have enough money for gas, we have just enough to get to Shoprite. Luckily there is a Gulf station right across the street.

Whatever is left on our EBT card is going to get spent at Stop and Shop so we can rack up gas points, which will get us a nice big discount on gas when we get it.

I already realize I will get a fair amount of bashing for this, but I don't care. You will just be ignored.

EDIT: since so many people are asking-we are getting so much because it's $44 for april when we first applied, $334 for may and $668 for june. after that we get the normal amount of $668 starting in July.

EDIT 2: we realized that since the savings card is in my DH's name, that i can get one in my name and we can get 2 more cards. one of them will be a shoprite gift card so we can get stuff we need for the house.

EDIT 3: Our EBT card came today, we wound up spending $610 for food, and got 2 gas cards. Next week I am getting my own savings cards and are going to get another 2 cards. AND I STILL HAVE OVER $400 LEFT!! tomorrow it's off to BJ's to buy meat.

I was reported because I was arrested for Criminal Damage for barging through my sister's bedroom door at my mother's house (different property) while they were illegally detaining my infant behind a locked door from me and refusing to tend to him until I left. She thought that if she called the cops, that they would just take me to the mental hospital on her say-so. No, I sat in Sheriff Joe Arpio Hell for 3 days before being transferred to an psychiatric ER because my mom ran and filed a petition full of exaggerations and some complete fabrications about my parenting. My mother had nothing to say about my parenting months or even weeks prior, This simply a desperate failed attempt to force me to stay with her only son-in-law. They didn't even hold me 24 hours because two separate doctors evaluated me over 12 hours apart and released me as unsyptomatic.

Quote

I've been very friendly and cooperative with the seemingly sweet CPS worker. She is coming this afternoon. Should I let her in or try to conduct the interview on my porch? Should I allow her to talk to my children or just view them through the window (I know it sounds silly, but some sites say to do so).

Quote

I was always planning on letting them in every since the appt. was made last week. I didn't consider denying entry until this morning when a lot sites advised me to deny access. I've decided I will just treat them as a guest. My happy children will speak for my parenting abilities.
