Sorry I missed the chance to see you all before I left Memphis... Sister n law showed up with boyfriend to pick me up, and it started alot of shit... I didn't even get to see my father before I left. I just moved into a 3 bedroom house yesterday... I live by myself... So i would love for you all to visit... Tryin to talk a friend into lettin me throw a party at his club here... I'd like to get you all to send me a couple copies each of what you'r e doing lately. One for me, and one for the club... I'll talk again soon. Love all of you... Have Jen and Jeremy to send thier emails...
Peace and Blessings

don't worry about your parenting style - it sounds a lot like mine.. maybe if you let people know that judging your choices makes you feel like they don't love you and respect you (and i am sure that is not their intention) - they would get a clue? i had to do that with my parents, and they have come around.
btw - did i ever tell you how much i love your site design - i love the colors especially!

I think those are feelings we all fall into at times... Yet usually we learn so much from the ignorance and immaturity of the ones that let us down, that we can only elevate... I've dealt with all of it moving back here to Missouri...
Always LOVE.....................Paru

i can't say anything here that was not perfectly expressed in lorin's original post, but as a young (and new) parent myself, it kills me to feel teh judgements that float about regarding the ways you choose to parent (especially living in the 'burbs). i love you lorin. i love you everyone! brush that shoulder off. <3

interestingly, the couple of folks in my family, or jasons, who i know read this site, are not the ones of whom i speak. unless there is some lurking going on.

if that's the case, speak up, let's work it out!

we can have a nursing parade!

we can throw beads at them when they see our breasts, which have more power in raising our children than their so-called well-intended words and opinions.

I'm the black sheep of my family too, for many reasons you well know, Lorin. I find the nose-thumbing of my family to be ironic, however, because I was always the bad kid -- the one with the drug problem, the eccentric, the intellectual, the egotists -- then all three of my cousins turned 16 and the world went to hell.

Now here is the thing: while I have never had a drunk driving or drug arrest in my entire life, to date each of them have had two, two of them have had felony drug arrests! Even though none of us have ever partied together, really, at any time during my extended vacation from thinking, I'm the one who gets blamed. The hypocrisy is astounding. Good thing I didn't get presents for any of their parents this year. I don't want to hear how that Simon & Garfunkel CD I bought for one of them led the kids to independent thinking and taking up marijuana.

I still love the adults. I don't like them much, but I love them all deeply.
