jenra replied to G.G.'s discussion 'Liking your kid?'"While it is brave of the mom to admit this and write this so honestly I can't help but to hate her a little. All parents of special needs kids know that we have a grieving process, I'll admit that I read that Holland vs. Italy…"

jenra replied to wookie's discussion 'Vacations'"The Miniature has only ever gone out of town to see family. I don't really consider those vacation either, it's a trip even though we have to spend a few nights in a hotel and drive 6 hours. We have had a couple in-town mini vacations when…"

jenra replied to Herasmus B. Dragon's discussion 'Ultimatums'"Ultimatums can bite you in the ass, but sometimes they are effective!

jenra replied to LeastLikely2Breed's discussion 'Have we discussed the "baby preacher" yet?'"OHHHHH My god. How did I miss this?! That kid is totally awesome.
