on parenting

him: i was thinking about you a few days ago. in one of my classes we were talking about family strucutre and how kids refere to their parents. it reminded me that your kids will call you boss. lol
me: hahahaha! you can't steal that idea!
him: i kept it to myself. i think that one is copy written.
me: absolutely. what does how kids reference their parents do to or say about their experience (childhood)? for the record, my kids would be awesome, no matter what the research says.
him: we were talking about it in the context of non-traditional families and the difficulties they encounter that standard biological families do not.
him: lol! i agree.
him: for example how does a kid refer to his parent live in boyfriend or girlfriend. or what do you call your moms new husband. just those difficulties that arrise when traditional titles aren't appropriate, and the difficulty of finding a fair name or title can cause trouble.
me: i always thought that if my mother brought home a dude i didn't care for [when i was younger], i'd call him sir. 'sir, could you pass the eggs?' 'sir, would you please hand me the remote?'
him: yeah, but sir seems odd after living with someone for 6 months. i'm thinking about cohabiting families.
me: that's the point. that's the dig. it'd be a clear message about how i felt. he'd know he needed to kick rocks.
him: LOL

the beauty around you

me: i was debating whether i should clean my room, but i have begun to see the disorder as art. it's very human. and being such a huge supporter of the arts, i can't bear to think of altering the room's raw, primal essence.
her: Hahahahahaha! i love it.
me: i love it too because it means i'm surrounded by beauty, and i don't have to feel bad about not folding the clothes i've washed.
