Thanks, Joanne. And believe me, I won't be swayed by the masses. As I seem to be saying regularly these days (about both ME and my kids), I've seen normal, and I want NO part of it!
We are the resident "freaks" in our neighborhood, and in so…
And here we go with the "respect is a one way street" mentality, Fabian. YOU are being disrespectful, and you seemingly justify your disrespect because Kyle is "only 15." Don't you see how WRONG that is?
Susan
And again, here's a situation where this family is "damned if they do, damned if they don't." If Kyle stands still for 10 seconds, he's "robotic and humorless" - but if he asks someone to be quiet so he can concentrate on something important he's a…
you can't blame the editors for using the good stuff, and you can't claim they fabricated it."
Ah, but you CAN make that claim when they splice your words together to make you "say" things that you never in a million years would say.
I was …
Luke, my sincerest thanks for sharing that letter with us. I enjoyed it tremendously, and that letter is PROOF positive of what a mature, intelligent, wise-beyond-your-years young man you really are.
I've been reflecting on several issues since …
Fabian, I totally disagree. If you're referring to the fishing scene on the show, Vickie was out of line and EXTREMELY disrespectful, and Kyle displayed more patience and self control than most people (teen or adult) would.
If you're speaking in…
I'll have to do that tonight. I left some feedback on your site the other day, by the way. You probably have tons to wade through right now. My husband Greg wants you to tell Luke to get to work on that tank game! He really wants to play it! He…
Luke,
Someone on AOL accused me yesterday of being the person who made this entire site! I only WISH I had the know-how to put a site like this together. Of course, these are the people who are still convinced you all have no tv, running water,…
WOAH. Adding to my post above - I didn't even SEE the title of this thread until now - "Very similar families"? I'd have to say the Reimers and the Abbotts are about as diametrically opposed as they come! Now THAT would have been the reality show…
I am also VERY interested in finding more information about that family, because my husband and I were horrified throughout the entire show. I thought both families on that episode were a mess, but the homeschooling family literally SCARED me. Lik…
Buddy, I agree with a lot of what you have to say here. I don't care one way or another about Xmas, but we put up a tree this year at the urging of the kids - first time we've put up a tree, in fact. We'll be giving them a bunch of presents, then …
Oh man, you're RIGHT. What was I THINKING! Let me go stick my kids in the closet so I can down some Southern Comfort, drive to the French Quarter, and flash someone for beads!
Susan
That sounds great in theory, but the bottom line is that people don't WANT to know the truth - they are having MUCH more fun without it and don't care to be illuminated.
Just today on AOL I was accused of being Leslie Abbott, then it was hinted t…
Okay, now that you've finally admitted this fact, would you come feed my (your?) kids and do some math and science with them? Since I'm not really Susan, I think I'll just go to the mall or something. :P
Susan
Buddy, I wish you had an AOL account so you could set these ladies straight! I've now got three people emailing me saying they KNOW and HAVE PROOF that I am indeed Leslie Abbott, and shame on me for posting on the boards pretending to be someone el…
I think you're just trying to be difficult and argumentative just for the hell of it, so I'm not going to reply further. My only advice would be to look up worldwide stats on breastfeeding - what's "sick" is this culture's reliance on formula. My …
How dare you come to this family's personal website and start calling people "freaks" and saying that the lifestyles people lead are "abnormal crap"!!!
Forget about yoga for now, and get your head screwed on right first and foremost. Extended br…
I agree with you. I wrote a short book on cosleeping a few years ago, and even since then I find more and more people who at least keep their babies in bed with them the first months, or the first year. My kids are restless sleepers, so we changed…
Kyle, I can't help but smile when reading your posts. Those misguided folks on the AOL and Fox boards keep referring to you as "that poor child" and saying you have no emotions, don't know how to laugh, and look very depressed and/or robotic. If o…
Interesting thread. I'm 32 years old with two young kids, and at this point in my life I have no close friends. I have those friends I've known for 15 or 20 years and see once a year, and I have acquaintances I get together with because we have ki…
My husband and I were just talking tonight about whether the money REALLY had to be spent in the designated manner. This is something we have been curious about since the first episode, as I assumed it was just a gimmick.
Susan
Okay, so I've been posting on the AOL Trading Spouses message board, trying to bring some sanity/understanding to the topic. This was in my email tonight, and posted to the board:
"I'm thinking this Susan Physco is just like some of the whakos…
