Im just trying to plan a trip and take my kids somewhere nice, after a very trying year in our lives. How judgemental of all of you to assume that I am this horrible parent because I dont have your six figure income. Oh Well, whatever.... I managed to raise a strait A student and a great kid being the horrible "lying" parent that I am!!! So none of you people have ever done anything wrong??? WOW what a bunch of angels....Believe me my kid knows right from wrong and he also knows that were not rich, he dosent live in a fantasy world.

And I never said anything about gay people I dont know what that person is talking about, people that are close to me are gay, BIG deal who cares! Its obvious that you are a tight knit bunch so im leaving....thanks for all your help guysrt2dz said:I haven't read where anyone has called you a horrible parent. You asked about doing something that isn't on the up and up and people answered you. Is it only OK to answer you if someone is going to say go ahead and steal/lie? You know it is not right, but you expect support from everyone?
Other people, myself included, have had horrible years too. Unless your child almost dying on more than one occasion and having other family members do die is a good year. And not everyone who doesn't cheat Disney makes a six figure income. I know we don't have one. We save for our vacations. We pick and choose what we spend our money on. Nor have I ever claimed to be perfect--no one is; I'm just not a liar or theif and doing what you plan on doing, to me, is just that. But that is my opinion. Disney will just have to keep lowering the age of children's tickets and raising their prices to make up for all those that cheat the system. I just don't want to participate in that.
BTW--Ted Bundy, the unibomber, and many other rotten people were straight A students with high IQs. Most criminals also know right from wrong. It doesn't mean you are going to be an upstanding citizen. And actions speak a lot louder than words. Kids are "monkey see, monkey do" not "do as I say, not as I do." Why do think that book, how to behave so your children will is so popular?

cheriandjimi said:Ok I admit it was a stupid question, maybe i was not thinking clearly and in my haste to have some time away I was reaching for anything. I dont teach my kids to lie. I will pay for the adult ticket. Like that one person said in the begining posts maybe I needed somekind of validation that to lie would be wrong...I had alot of people on my end telling me to "just buy the kids ticket he is a kid." (I still dont think its a BIG lie.) I wouldnt steal a tv from work that is rediculous! BUt I do sneak candy into the movies, so shoot me Im not perfect like some of you.
But really how dare some of you take this to such extremes as to compair my CHILD to ted bundy or the unibomber!!! I was only asking a question, you could have told me it was a stupid question or even told me to get off the board ect. BUT DONT BRING my CHILD into it. that was wrong.... Dont incinuate that I hate gay people(what was that?) just tell me I made a mistake. How was I supposed to know that, that was one of the three worst things to bring up???I WAS NEW!!! some of you really must be living in glass houses...cause I would never treat a newbie like that, I might tell them what the first few people in the begining said but I wouldnt see it as an opprotunity for an all out slam fest.
cheriandjimi said:Thanks beattyfamily, I figure that post #10 did probably make things worse , I tend to get offensive when i feel that my parental skills are being attacked. My children are my life,and I work really hard at being a good mom.
cheriandjimi said:My son is 11. (the childs tix are 3-9) the prices for the child ticket is 40$ less than the adult. also at universal the childs ticket is free w/purchase of an adult tik this is a total savings of 140.$ so my question is will they really ask his age? I dont want to buy the tix if they're going to give me a hard time...I know my neighbor took her daughter when she was like 6y/o and sat her in a stroller and told them at the gate everyday that she was under 3 so she didnt have to pay for tix for her once! but this was like 5yrs ago...and last time I went my son was 8y/o so i didnt have this problem...also would this work for eating? my son is such a poor eater I cant see paying 20-30$ for a couple chicken fingers and some fries....
