My wedding wasn’t stressful, the only real issues were the bakery for got to deliver the cake ( my sister in-law had to call them and remind them) and the cab company kept heming and hawing on if they could bring my grandma and the time, my grandma gave them her two cents.
When I got married I let my bridesmaids choose the dresses but with my guidelines. They had to be in the wedding colors, and be one style or one color. They could chose any shade and it had to be something they would wear again. They loved this idea it was decided on the same dress in different colors. The only one who didn’t get a say in the dresses was my Jr. Bridesmaid she wanted a strapless sequence dress that was far to reviling for a 10 year old because it was sparkling.
That’s what my brother did, although he did have a wedding ceremony with 2 or 3 ministers later that summer. His in-laws wouldn’t hear their daughter was married unless it was in a church.
I agree with Calvin, when you become an adult you don’t have weekends you just change jobs. On Saturday I do everything I couldn’t get done during the week. When I was a kid I had chores but most of the day I could do what I wanted.
All siblings fight and bicker with each other that’s normal. There are even days when you want them to go away. Then there are times when you wouldn’t part with them and they are your best friends. As far as wanting a large family, that’s vague anything over 3 kids is a large family these days. Dose Brad want two more or six more, the two oldest are in the next room.
I did and Ellie made the decision not John, I guess so does not mean yes look at her expression. In this case it means I don’t want you to hang them outside. Think of your teen when you ask them to do something they don’t want to do what is their response in the statement " I guess so". The tone is different the body language is different and John read this in Ellie. He also does not want to have an argument about laundry, remember she tends to be a control freak. If Ellie were ok with this idea she would have walked away with the baby.
John did suggest hanging the laundry outside, it was Ellie who said no. I’m with John I don’t know how warm Canada is, but I bet the laundry will dry faster outside.
We used to tell my oldest niece, she was about 3 or 4at the time, that the Little Einstein’s lived in France. It was 9pm there and they had to go bed. At the time that was all she wanted to watch and if you changed the channel my niece had a meltdown. To convince her of this I even brought over a atlas from the childrens section of the library. We spent an hour going over that atlas, and some other books about France. After that everyone kept up that story, and her parents not to let her watch the show after 9am.
My niece loves doing the laundry at my house. She loves our old fashion dryer, we decorate the yard with wet laundry and we allow her to help fold clothes outside. Her older sister wants to know why we don’t use the dryer like everyone else, instead of the cloths line.
