You have to be typing all this stuff about your kids just to get a buzz or response right?

I mean no way does a responsible parent go to Jamaica w/ zero or limited funds w/3 kids right? Especially when 3 out of every 4 post or pic's is all about them w/ beach boys while kids are back at the hotel?

I guess I am just midwest simple or dumbfounded how a parent can continually throw there children under a bus over something as simple and basic as how much they eat? Or above laptop issues concerning their homework and it some how gets twisted back to ruining a major evening for you? Do you think they did it on purpose? I seriously doubt it.

You typed why am I missing a concert and then typed because I am a mother .... great. Exactly, remove the sarcasm it is great that you are a mother and to miss a concert to be with your kids is a no brainer.

Not that it matters but our child is soon to be 16 and to us it's like someone tipped the sandglass up and the sand draining out represents how LITTLE time we have the PRIVLEDGE of him living at home with us sharing our love and trying to impact his future life on his own. For someone to carry on for days on a message board about how much their kids eat? Sorry I don't get it and absolutely do not want to be part of a club that does get that.

I really can't believe someone hasn't called this out yet, a few have dropped major hints about how upsetting some of this report is. Some of it is worth reading but being candid the part calling out your kids is garbage and so is the constant mention of being broke, to me and thats all it is, just my opinion, is that it's a train wreck of a report and kind of expected based on your previous posts and thats at best ....... at worst it borders on one wanting to get social services involved here in the states.

Good luck, I truly mean this, you need it, I sincerely hope your New Year brings good luck and fortune.

Well, if reading Tic's reports bothers you so much, I have a cure!!

Stop reading them.

And, try this for a 2012 resolution "I resolve to be less judgmental of others whom I do not even know."

Its Tic's life. If you want to live it vicariously with her through her reports...great......if you don't......wellllll....then don't.

And, WTF are you thinking about Child Welfare Services? These kids are healthy and happy. Just because you don't like her parenting style doesn't mean the children are being abused or neglected. You really need to to have your high-horse euthanised, my friend. Try to be a little more humble and not so holy, ok?

Thanks for your words sandy,
there will always be people ready to point the finger ALWAYS but as long as I know personally that we are all ok then that is all that matters and just for the record I am not drinking around my kids and my husband_ their father is here and ask anyone in this country have they seen him drunk or high or anything like that?
Not that I have to justify once again but as enquiring minds seem to want to know I think he has had 5 redstripes and 4 shots of rum in 4 weeks he is not a drinker and his party days were about 20 years ago so yes I am having my time now.
Where I live back home reggae and dancehall is not allowed to be played so I come here and enjoy the music.It is the only place I can.
I am not one to dwell on others opinions especially when if I know they do much much worse but refuse to admit it to others or probably even to themselves but I do not judge and it seems as well as people revelling in judging assuming getting it wrong and pointing the finger that one person is quite upset as I am hearing on the grapevine (that I try not to listen to) as they believe I have been hanging with one of their fancy men well I am sorry.

Sorry if I'm being too inquisitive but why are they not allowed?

Respect

Whoa! Where I'm from people handle things in the streets (Deadwood - lol! - just kidding) instead of hiding behind their computer screens. Shame on you! Some of you should be enjoying your vacations... right? It's Tic's business.

Happy New Year, Everyone! Sending lots of love and positive vibes!

Me and the kids have spent a lot of time stargazing the sky here looks like a postcard compared to home.The moon sparkles and the stars twinkle and we just find ourselves keep staring at it.Back home the sky is usually dark and cloudy and dull.
The travellers beach party was a complete disaster unfortunately it waited until the start and then poured with rain the whole way through.
There was 3 raffle prizes kindly donated by local business persons and fatty, rastagal and one of ********** family won the prizes.
I will not go into detail but yep rained all day disaster!
After the party me and the family joined the band and some guests at the hotel with my kids and we all had the buffet and stayed for karaoke which was a really nice evening met some nice people.
We have been enjoying chasing crabs and lizards I need to get some pictures of them especially after last time and we tried to home the lizard that ran away to England to come with us!
I showed a couple fatties restaurant yesterday they really loved it and enjoyed taking photographs of the food.It is really good food there she does a great job.
The weather has been great just 3 days of rain in a month.
The sea has been warm and calm and we have been enjoying swimming during the daytime,
We have lots of photographs of all of the wildlife we have seen so far and the flowers and have started to research all the names.Mega trip report coming for my kids school.
My assignment is project based around Jamaica and also a social experiment I complete half now and the rest when I return for m y work experience/internship
and it involves peoples reactions to certain events , cultural differences, reviews on the way business is conducted and I have to thank you all for joining me on my journey as you were all a part of it too and will be included! So good or bad comments it is all helping me to get to where I intend to be so it's all good.
I enjoyed watching a lady from my hotel yesterday she stopped stephen west on the beach and she is a whole bundle of energy she sings she dances infact she owns a string of dance schools she talks she has fun.She has some energy so she stopped him and he played his guitar and she started singing country road take me home to a place where I belong and she really enjoyed doing it I could tell and it was cool to just lay there looking out at the sparkly warm sea and cloudless sky listening to them jamming.
There is a guy here called Bill its toms friend and he is agreat little jammer.I have spent quite a bit of time just listening to him playing his guitar and singing songs.He plays all of my favourites.
I love the music here I cannot get enough of it.One guy we know came and played the piano and the drums and he can sing and write lyrics too now that is TALENTED!
I have had a lovely time listening to all of the talented people that can play instruments and sing or dance.The women that can dance here are unbelievable I seriously need some lessons they have so much fun.
We are going to the waterpark very soon it is shut today but I really recommend it.The rides are good there is ice-cream and food places there there is go-karts loads of different activities for the kids.Mine love it there.It is closed today but we are ready as soon as it opens.
I am not leaving Negril just yet there are a few things the kids want to do so we are going to stay I have not decided where yet.
We have to leave here in a couple of hours.

As one who is glued to Absoloutely Fabulous, Keeping Up Appearances, and ARe You Being Served, also as a veteren of the bulletin board trip report wars. I can say I LOVE British humor , and I "get it." That being said, all I have left to say is sorry I did not get a chance to hook up with you while in London. Carry on with your report.

[TiCtOc]

Ab fab and keeping up appearances are two old time faves of mine lying in bed on a sunday morning!
I know I am sorry I missed you too I did try and suprise you and call the hotel I was thinking if to pop up and suprise you but it was so close to this holiday I needed the cash!
There is always a next time.Actually Misti between me and you I do not think some people around here could handle a truthful live and direct trip report if me and you ever got together! IMAGINE OMG haha
