omg dying.

Seriously chels, I didn't read the thread but if you know your Gpa is going to die, you should be spending as much time as you can with him. I was going to tell a story but I am just going to cry instead, so seriously, go fcuking see him.

ok guys c'mon. Ciara's an idiot, but you're really going to say it's unsafe for him to have a smash cake? 

RupertPenny

The quote under her sig says something about babies putting out candles with their hands. It's probably NBD, like the snow thing was probably NBD, but you would think she would learn from her experiences and not put that shiiit out there for everyone.

Woah holy making assumptions Steph.
I spent several hours with him last night.  He is having a shittton of tests done today and is being moved to a nursing home today.  At the request of my grandma, I am waiting to go visit again until tonight when he's settled in.

Fcuking Ciaragate again, you guys?  There was absolutely nothing wrong with the picture of E sitting in the snow.  Fuckinglife, he posed for a damn picture, for like five damn seconds.  She didn't leave his ass out there to f.cking freeze to death.  And pretty much every kid I've seen turn one has had that exact picture taken of them.  FFS you are UP YOUR ASS if you are going to get on Ciara for this stuff.  UNBEFUCKINGLIEVABLE.

Isn't it a law that work has to give you time off if a family member passes?  Or does that vary state by state.  If so, wouldn't it make sense to go ahead and use vacation now so she can see him while he is still here and then just use the 3 days of bereavement time later?

Key word potentially guys. It is just stupid for her to put up another potentially questionable picture when that is what got her in trouble in the first place. I am not making judgement calls on her parenting skills, just her internet message board skills.

<div>Dude. I'm using your defense on you. You put this crap out here on teh internets, so you're going to get judged for it. You still used your last vacation day today to sit home instead of saving it for next week in case he does pass away.</div>

My parents gave me an enormous knife to cut my birthday cake when I was five.  Thank God there are no pictures of it, lest they be hauled off to jail for allowing a situation that could have ended with me cutting my damn hand off.

Yeah, okay.  When Ciara comes back she's an AW martyr but when Kiki comes back for the 17th damn time everyone licks her ass seven ways to Sunday.  GOT IT.

I don't.  I haven't acknowledged either one.  You want to play hard and run away screaming and defriend everyone on FB (yea, I said it) and then come back like oh wait, just kidding.  No.  I don't have time or energy for you and I will not become invested again.  I'm straight.

<div>I was wondering this too.  I'm surprised that a school would have PTO, and especially be allowed to use it the week before school is over for the summer.  Then again, this is Chels's school we're talking about, so...</div>

AFAIK, there is no legal entitlement to bereavement days.  FMLA is maybe a possibility but it's unpaid leave and depends on the employer.

[QUOTE]Chelsea, it's "whoa."  You're a teacher.  Learn to spell.  So did you or did you not take the day off?  Instead of saving it for when he passes, and you could use that day to, I don't know, go to the funeral or help your grandmother?
Posted by EaglesBride2012[/QUOTE]

I took the day off today. 
After spending the day in the hospital yesterday he's doing a lot better.  The doc that admitted him was shocked they hadn't the night before after being in the ER.  He even looked a lot better when I was there last night.

I also talked to administration yesterday and they said I could still take today because if he were to pass, it would count under something under the family passing stipulation in the contract so I'd get the time off anyway if a funeral were to happen in the next week.  Even if not, he's doing a lot better, so I would have taken today anyway to get the wedding stuff done that I need to and relax a bit.

I'm not letting my time slip to see him.  I was asked to wait until tonight to go see him again, and I'm respecting those wishes.

My company only gives you time off if it's your parent, sibling, kid, or spouse. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, they aren't included.

I agree with AATB about C's pics. I highly doubt she was letting him burn his fingers off in the candle. Kids grab at stuff, it's what they do.

Stackeye210

I just think the GBCK's and returns are juvenile.  I don't give a flaming fuuck if you come back, but you aren't coming back to be entertained by me.  That's all I know. 

Smash Adams

I don't think Ciara will be around long enough for it to matter.  She'll inevitably GBCK again.

SarahPLiz

Um, babies do unpredictable things. I don't have time to look for a thread about it, and its not obvious to me. However, my son TRIES to do all kinds of crazy shite: poke out my eyes, eat the leg of the coffee table, grab his dirty crotch and then rub his eyes.. should i not hold him, or let him play on the floor, or change his diaper unless he's in a straight jacket? FFS, she was not going to willingly let her child hurt himself. Lots of stuff is potentially dangerous. Its called life. She didn't hand him a lit match or let him play on the cooktop. Chill!
