People who see ur rose bushes and cut the roses off without asking as if u grew them for that purpose. Now I don't have any but my neighbors do and I saw a woman with a baby in a stroller pull out a pair of scissors and began cutting this guys beautiful roses. I knocked on the door and let him know. He went to talked to her and it turns out she is illegal and just trying to get something she can sell. This guy was so nice he gave her food from his house and told her not to cut his roses again. I was irritated at the disrespect of others people property but pleased he was such a gentleman of compassion
My Peeve: ME my niece was supposed to have had the wireless set up at her house where I'm staying and I "KNOW" that happens and the companies can be slow. I am so peeved at myself for not factoring all that in ahead of time.

I hope she appreciated his kindness, but so many people don't these days. It's more like, what else can you do for me now. Taking advantage, that's right on the mark, nice guys are an any easy target for that.
At what point r u able to cut the apron strings... I mean when my kids were little I sliced the fruit and refrigerated it to make it easy to serve. I continued out of habit, but now I don't feel like it. These teenagers waste allot of fruit cause they don't seem to now u can eat the melon to the rind or pretty close. They take one bite out of the strawberry and leave the other half with stem patch. I wonder if it's too late to train them... LOL I shouldn't have too. I wish they paid for the groceries.

Sun queen, if you figure out a way to change this particular habit - share the answer with other parents and grandparents and you'll make a fortune!
Take them to the grocery store, let them see how much things cost. Give them some money, have them buy groceries to live on for a certain period of time, a couple days or whatever you think. Let them see how little it buys these days. Teens should start to realize how expensive it is to live, and that food doesn't just drop from the heavens to their plates.
I would be telling them, if they take it, they eat it. One bite and that's all, huh. The prince and princess want no more, take it away slave <<meaning you.
Finicky pets are easier than finicky teens.
