@ Buffy - I'm sure it's like that with all couple, but I think as we date he see how I am & I see how he is, & how I was raised, etc. so there is no surprises, plus Im not a shy girl, who won't speak up if I had to let him know something.
@ Buffy - no need to talk it thru, we know each other well enough & if we do get kids, it will be a middle point to how we both got raised. I think at the end of the day we are both perfect raised kids, so i got no doubt in my mind we will do a Fantastic job with ours.
After all these years, hubby and I still tell each other stories that are completely new. I guess you never finish getting to know a person.

@ X - OMG ok now let not exagerate, toy's us rest wasn't a place that was soooo expensive, it still isn't. Now I guess I was spoiled cus I NEVER saw any good toys at Honest Ed's, I think I would of cried all day if I got one, cus they did nada.
Aww X u went X-Mas giftless for that long.....holy I would of died of sadness. Plus I'm also a hard worker, I know at ur thinkin of me. It's ok it's not my fault I got lovin parents.
yeah i guess i didn't have loving parents
~X
I am sooooo intrigued to know what you guys talk about outside of foro... 'cause you don't seem to know much about one another...
I would get cracking on the "this is how I want to raise my kid" topic. On second thought, start with "this is what my childhood was like" topic.

Hey I admited that I was a brat
When I was a kid I made snobby friends and my parents were trying to give us the best that money could buy. Looking back they say it was a mistake but they were just trying to compensate for the fact that they worked like dogs and were not around much
I am trying VERY hard to make sure that I don't spoil my daughter but it's hard. You will see.
well, unlike u, i always had to work for everything.....many years i went without a xmas gift, so I'm sure i wont spoil my kid.
~X
Actually X....I have been working since I was VERY young. I went out and got a job at Mr. Bagel when I was practically a kid. I have never stopped. I was not a teen that depended on my parents for clothes and extras. Of course they would get me stuff anyway but I always made my own money. I worked one job or another all through school. Everyone wants the best for their children and if you can afford to give your children the best...you usually do.
Sometimes not having much as a child will make you spoil your kids more...sometimes not but either way it doesn't make you a better person because you had to go without just like it doesn't make me a better person if I was given a lot.

Who remembers that food joint on the 2nd floor or wherever?
Anyway, my mom would take me there, buy me a hot dog, and put me right on the counter and then from there she would just start shopping in the women's department. I loved her for doing that because I hated shopping and every 2 seconds I'd see her head pop up to make sure I stayed put.
My reward??? Running all the way downstairs to the toy section after!!!!
I went there a couple of months ago with El Pibe and the food place was gone but then when I ran down to the toys, all those memories came flooding back and the scent of cheap toys brought so much joy to my heart!!!
I think I bought a colouring book.

Many years ago (like 25) my grandpapi (RIP) came to visit us from Chile. We sent him back with so many things that he needed some new luggage. My parents were just getting established here in Canada and couldn't afford to buy him nice expensive luggage so they bought him some at LAS BOLAS. THe trip back to Chile was a disaster for my poor grandpapi cuz the luggage didn't last the whole trip...by the time he reached Chile everything ended up in plastic bags.
That was the last time mami and papi ever went to LAS BOLAS
I think most immigrants here in the tdot have a Honest Eds story!!
haha, I was thinking that before i even finish reading ur story.....yeah the quality is not the greates there but back in the Nintendo days and G.I. Joe u could get them really cheap there, I remember running after school to Las Bolas to get me a game and at times a G.I. Joe
