He was concerned that I'd take it over and tell him what to write when he really wants it to be a "kid blog." I'm a rambling writer with long posts and he just types a few sentences, so I really have to restrain myself from suggesting too many changes. He is enjoying it so much as his own project, and if I interfere too much, the joy and pride, and possibly the interest, would be lost.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008081263431261048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-48122766976052634732012-06-03T20:05:11.822-07:002012-06-03T20:05:11.822-07:00My son has a blog but I don't let him post any...My son has a blog but I don't let him post anything without approval first.

I have no problem with her size or with her haircut, and of course I don't think those are why she hates kids. But her face did have a pretty unpleasant look stuck on it, and she overall seemed like she was in the mood to intimidate, and chose to do so by saying she hated kids right next to a 5 year old.<br />Maybe she was just having a bad day or maybe she's just bitter.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008081263431261048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-24881187282359886812012-05-07T10:58:01.669-07:002012-05-07T10:58:01.669-07:00Yikes- a children's librarian who doesn't ...Yikes- a children's librarian who doesn't like children?! Sounds like a life of misery all around- for her and the poor families who frequent her library. I've met a few teachers who don't seem to like kids either, which I find odd. Luckily, most people who work with them do like them huh?

What a sad person that woman must be.<br /><br />Well, sadly a children's librarian that talked w/co-workers at the library, loudly enough to be heard by parents and children alike, stated how she was NEVER having children EVER! She gave looks of discust as patrons walked into the children's area of the library, especially at those of us parents with younger children. Thankfully she was not the children's librarian for much more than a year. We avoided the library the days/hours she worked and just simply skipped all the children's events that year. Yep, she was in charge of those. Really crazy.<br /><br />Again, sadly we have neighbors that actually said "We don't like children." And yes, they have one child that is an adult now. He never comes to visit. Go figure. Hmmmmmm, how odd. Realizing now that the wife of the neighbors couple is a retired librarian. How weird. Never thought of that connection between these two different librarians. We simply avoid this neighbor, which is fairly easy since we have children and so they also avoid us. LOL<br /><br />Ah well. I feel so sorry for people that do not like children simply because children are some of the most wonderful people ever. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-66848343015989261942012-05-05T13:50:41.281-07:002012-05-05T13:50:41.281-07:00I remember a few years ago, we were staying in a p...I remember a few years ago, we were staying in a popular hotel in Virginia Beach. My friend was also there with her children and while our husbands' worked together we would go out and see the sights with our kids. When I checked out one of the front desk attendants commented that she'd noticed that we had been in and out a lot during our stay and did we see everything in the area that we had hoped to? Pleasant enough. I said something to the effect that I was surprised that she had noticed us and she explained that we had so many children it was hard to notice! I couldn't believe it- my friend and I only have 3 children each. I almost retorted that she needed to meet some of my friends that have MUCH larger families. We ended up staying there again a few weeks later and I overheard her complaining about one of the rooms- apparently they had children and she just couldn't stand children. :( I thought that was very rude. Especially to voice it in front of a customer. Just not good for business.Tonya @ The Traveling Pratershttp://thetravelingpraters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-4331680570157844862012-05-05T08:36:24.427-07:002012-05-05T08:36:24.427-07:00It was completely worth it!It was completely worth it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-65482703112744007662012-05-02T10:07:39.031-07:002012-05-02T10:07:39.031-07:00Thanks for including me, and for putting the carni...Thanks for including me, and for putting the carnival together!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008081263431261048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-82357321349245974692012-05-02T10:07:00.384-07:002012-05-02T10:07:00.384-07:00I'm glad you took your daughter to see the oce...I'm glad you took your daughter to see the ocean, and that she remembers.
