Do you tell...

[PrincessFiona]

CN's best friend....the one who invited me over for drinks Sat. evening with CN. When I politely thanked her but said that I was taking Amanda shopping, she said "I don't believe you. I think you're lying".

I think that's a pretty big detail that I left out too....it wasn't unitl I was telling Kelly about it today that I realized I had ommitted that most important sentence.

Also, on Saturday, my really nice neighbor came over and told met that I *have* to go to her house this week to catch up on everything...She has a job in the Twin Cities still and refuses to quit despite living her a couple of years. She's intent on it being her bargaining chip to move closer to St. Paul.

I'm seeing the two of you commuting together.

Well, the whole tone of the "tattling" is important. As everyone has said, if you have to talk to another parent about their child

1) It better be something you'd consider important for your own children.
2) You'd better find a diplomatic way to say it.
3) You'd probably want to express some comradarie in this whole parenting mess.


Sounds like CN #2 didn't make mush of an effort. Most disturbing for me would be that it reveals her real feelings. Did you feel that way? She has some issues, me thinks.

ISSUES for sure!
I can't believe that she made such a huge deal about a mailbox incident (come on, who didn't out the flags up and down on other people's mailboxes as a kid.... I never ended up in the big house) and the whole accusing you of lying thing is bizarre (was she joking or serious?), I think that maybe I would keep my distance from el nutto's...........

Well, the doctor's kids comment was what had sent me over the edge.

Seriously, I have no problem with hearing something my kids have done...yes, it can embarass me, but...there ARE some things that you do want to know. Actually, I think that if one of my kids had spit in someone else's face, I'd want to know that too :!

The irony here though (taking this snarky little thread a little farther) is that he woman who called has a son Andrew's age..and...he and CN's daughter got caught vandalizing new construction 2 years ago and did thousands of dollars worth of damage that the families had to pay back.

People in glass houses......................

PS...I know, I know....I'm a bad person....I can't help it.

P.S.S Someone please, please pinch me and wake me up so that I can get away from this Central MN bad dream.
