| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Thank you all, I am on for a short while today as Jim decided to take all the children to Wal-Mart with him!  As a typical male, he is quite certain he can handle it, however I fear he is in for a rude awakening!  |

OMG Kathy,
the line about the birth control had me in fits... When I was pregnant with my first son, Jackson, I decided to invite my younger sister Jessica in for the whole ordeal. She was only 18 at the time and it worked a treat- she said that there is no way she is going through with all that 'mess' as she puts it... Unfortunately though the drama of it all wears off... it's almost two years later and she is thinking about it... I am going back up north to visit my family next month adn I am thinking of leaving both boys with her for a few hours just to reinforce thats not as easy as it looks. It also really touched me to read about your open door policy- a lot of parents wouldn't do it! Good luck with a full house. I hope you all fair well out of it. I am sending my best wishes ot you all and I hope that Evie is ok. Tammy |

Oh dear I forgot to post in here how Jim's Wal-Mart excursion went. I posted it in the smile thread, so I will just cut and paste here:
Today however I was a bit "evil" as Evie and Jacob would say, as I smiled when my husband came home exhausted and cranky after taking the grandchildren to Wal-Mart. Not that I have a nasty streak usually, however he was so very smug about it being easy and him being "in control of the situation" and so on that I simply had to gloat a bit upon his return! http://www.ptsdforum.org/../images/smilies/rofl.gif
The little ones have gone home with Mummy and Daddy this morning. It was lovely having them, and most lovely to see my son Travis, he seems well. We had a lovely breakfast together before they headed back to the base. We will see Travis more at our family dinner on Sunday, for now however he simply wants to go home and rest, which is most understandable. It is pleasant to have the house semi-peaceful once more. I say semi-peaceful because we still have the four "youngsters", ages 16-23 with us, and the naughty puppy.   |

Awwww you got the puppy!
Please ask Evie to send us a photo of him/her.
I'm glad you got to see Travis & I'm sure you are glad to have the house back to "normal". |

Evie is very anxious to take photos of Mate (for that is his name), however both cameras in the house require new batteries, and dearest husband forgot to purchase them during his Wal-Mart excursion! Very soon however, when we go shopping again, I will make sure batteries are purchased! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
