Back To School

If you have kids, how do you feel about them going back to school? I am gonna cry, i know it, i do it every year! Today i am gonna make my kids mickey mouse stuffed french toast with eggs,bacon and juice. Take them to get school clothes,and supplies and than take then grab some KFC and go to the lake and hang out and eat. ...

Can u adopt me?

Can you adopt me too??

How about going to the park and jogging, instead of eating ?

Or some kind of physical activity .... hopefully your kids aren't obese also, and would enjoy getting their heart rate up with some kind of activity .. other than eating.

This post is about saddness .. and then the talk of food is mentioned as the medicine for this sadness. And I'm not trying to be a bitch and say you're fat to hurt your feelings .. I'm telling you this because you could promote into their heads that eating is the answer to life's psychological issues, and it could trigger the same dependency in their minds when life hands them lemons = which means you could make them over eat into obesity by proxy.

A big breakfast .... kfc for lunch

I find it very curious ... do you even realize that when you found yourself in emotional distress (you said you want to cry) .. that you then associated eating as a form of reward to soothe these feelings?

I Cook like this all the time, and none of my kids are overweight,They played frisbee at the lake and swam and we had a damn picnic. I am NOT an emotional eater thank you very much. And i will miss my kids while they are at school.. PARDON ME For LOVING MY CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I got the same thing as P-Angel did... I realize you're a very motherly Cancer, very much into the "home" aspects and love to cook and care for those you care about... so many of your posts have mentioned your cooking and how you love to do it, and how it impresses people. It's a skill and a talent, and you're rightfully proud of that.

But you talk of your sadness, of knowing you will cry -- and your very next thought (and sentence) immediately turns to food.. what you are going to make for them to show your love and care (and to soothe your sadness at school starting again).. and then how you will be setting on this motherly task of taking them school shopping (to prepare them for this emotionally difficult return to school).. and your thoughts (and next sentence) turn to food again.. picking up KFC and going to the lake to "hang out and eat"... not "hang out and play frisbee and swim and have a family picnic".. your final thought on what to do to both comfort yourself AND to show your children how much you love and will miss them.. was eat.

I too will miss my kids when school starts (sometimes haha) but my mind doesn't turn to what I can/will cook for them to soothe me and show them love.. it doesn't turn to picking up KFC and going to the lake as a special treat. Food is not a comfort or a reward or a treat with me, or with them. What I think about (and comfort/amuse myself with) is.. how much they will like school, and enjoy seeing their friends again, and love learning new things, and all the "sophomore drama" stories they will bring home to talk about. I think about "cootie girls" chasing my son around, and the watch he's asked for since he's now responsible enough lol. I think about heavy backpacks and misplaced gym shoes, and all the homework they'll need help with, how four or five showers a day is going to be managed... and how when I happen to need one, I'll never be able to find a damn pen or pencil in this house until at least June!

You're bristling at P's comments, which generally means they hit a sore spot. But if you did not feel she was taking cheap shots at your weight.. would you be able to hear the message she's trying to impart? If you did not actually associate food (both preparing and/or eating) with the immediate soothing of emotional distress, would you still be up in arms? I think not. You do realize P is not saying you don't love your children, or that you're wrong for being sad about missing them when school starts, right? She simply noticed the close affinity you have with emotional distress and food as your succor... and that those are things that quietly pass onto our children without us even realizing it.. and the next thing you know, many of our kids are either emotional/comfort eaters, or they are anorexic to avoid it, or bingers/bulemic to have both.

WOW, Now i respond and all of a sudden I GET "she hit a sore spot." Shes basically calling me a bad mo,and questioning their nutrition and excersise habits. Im a model figure mother and my kids get plenty of excersise, i am not responding because i feel guilty,i am responding because you obviously have me wrong,and i am enlightning you. Unless your here day in and day out you dont know jack-o-rama do you? And i am sorry if my weight bothers YOU. But it sure as FU*K dont bother me, i have no problem getting hit on,.. and i think i am pretty damn hot myself... This post wasnt a QUESTION in need of an ANSWER, It was simply stating that i missed my kids.. I Think it would make you happy all together if i never fucking posted again.. Wouldnt it? Well tough shit, i will, and if i wanna discuss FOOD,SEX,Or plain and simple BULLSHIT.. I Will... If you dont like my posts, simple.. dont fucking read them! and if you wanna critizize someone on their weight, maybe it means your just simply insecure and baffled on how a bigger chick isnt! ......

Aaaaaaaand.. you did it again. Cheerio!

LOL

No ya'll didn't OMG.

Guess Ron white is right, "You cant fix stupid"... applies to a few posters above^^

And i never said KFC for lunch lamer, I took them to lake to swim and we had kfc for dinner,.. its not a reward. I know alot of parents that take their kids to dinner sometimes, god i hate idiots,.. P-Angel ..All you do is attatck people,and judge them...I think you need to just go suck a bag of dicks! ... Anytime i see you start a thread, it makes me wanna vomit! Because its usually you whining,moaning and bitching about "Woe is fuckin me" Why dont you come off the cross, use the wood to build a bridge and JUMP OFF IT! and i am IGNORING YOU so i dont have to see your BULLCRAP hateul annoying posts anymore

sounds like that hit a nerve

I'm pretty good at that .. usually just one post from me and the person losses their shit over a truth they cannot handle.

At any rate ... here's to hoping your kids don't develop an eating disorder.

So true Cowpuncher 😉
