Re: only have a few left... but i'm okay with it.
that kitten is soooo darned cute ben... :hug: i don't even remember what it is i wanted... :confuzd:
christie... you know me, fellow mom, i'll take what i can get :rofl:
snake lady... you found one of my other passions!!!! :chew:
gibbrishclown, - thanks :)
~~~
i had a talk with her again last night. showed her the empty shelves where the Ts lived and told her how proud i am of her... speaking her truth to me in such a loving gentle way, but 'speaking' it regardless! i told her i reaaaaaaaaaaaaally love my tarantulas and she said, "i know mama" with her head lowered, i lifted her chin so she could see my eyes and i said, "but i love you more" - she grinned from ear to ear (as she does everytime we discuss this) and hugged me like crazy :hug:
we have a 'mantra' i spew constantly in this house... "if you don't tell me what it is you want, i can't say yes. i may say no, but guaranteed, i can't say yes" - so i thanked her for asking me... so i could say yes.

Hehe... Aleesha your absolutely welcome. They do tend to take your mind off things, lol. :pinkele:
Re: only have a few left... but i'm okay with it.
That made me want to cry, my own mother is very distant and cold and I know she never would have done anything like that for me. She has always been more interested in what she wants over everything else.
You are wonderful!!! I have always said the hardest job in the world is to be a parent. In my opinion, the second you have kids, they must come first, before everything and anything else in your life. I see so many parents who don't believe that, it is sad. I'm so glad to see that you do. Your children are very, very fortunate in having you. I wish my parents had been like you, I wish everyones parents were like you!!!!!!!! :rockon: :carrot: :sunny:
*big hug* I hope someday your daughter will get comfortable with the idea of T's again, then maybe the two of you could build a collection together.

And that is great she could come to you...and good for you for listening...why does she like the 3 but not the others?
Re: only have a few left... but i'm okay with it.
i think it's more the number seems more manageable to her? i'm not sure. she knows how much i love my Ts... so i think it may also be that, although she's not comfy with them, she didn't feel good about having them all leave.
she's a kind, loving, caring little girl... and i am blessed to have been chosen to be her mother. :hug:

Don't feel bad Aleesha, we're selling nearly all of ours as well. We're keeping one for each of the kids and one for the hubby and I that we just flat refuse to get rid of, like my E. murnius and his Chylobrachys, but we're selling some of our favorites off, like my B. klassi (uncontrolable sobbing) and his P. tigris...provided anyone can afford to buy it! :eek:
But yes, I AM keeping my snakes. I won't be getting anymore (bummer unless I can talk the hubby into getting some corns...for the kids...yeah, that's it) but the ones I have I'm not getting rid of.
I commend your daughter for her honesty and the confidence and trust in you to feel that she *could* come to you and speak her mind openly and honestly.
Kudos to her!!!!
(even though it kind of sucks :( )
