 Quote From: ceders2 really makes me mad!! I live in Australia and here it is AGAINST the Law to talk on your phone while driving, but of course we still have the idots who do talk on their phones while driving.
My hubby and I have already nearly been involed in afew car accidents because of these idots on the road. And we have had one or two people honk their horns at us because they weren't watching what was happening BECAUSE THEY WERE ON THE PHONE and were not doing the right thing on the road.
I know that there are times when yes that phone rings while you are driving, BUT that doesn't mean that you HAVE to answer it there and then. You can always turn your phone off all together while driving and have it set on voice mail. Or if you HAVE to have your phone on then put over to the side of the road to answer your phone when it rings. Just think about other people that have to drive on the road at the same time as you.
One last thing, what drives me more MAD is when Mum's and or Dad's have children in the car and they are merryly driving long talking away on the phone. What's to say that one minute you're driving along and next you and or your children are dead from an accident. Just something to think about yeah!!
TAKE CARE ON THE ROADS, LOVE KELLY. I agree with you as well as Kdadams post.
Talking on the phone while driving really does upset me and people who say they can watch the road and talk on the phone really annoys me and even if it is true, there are others on the road who are careless and doesn't obey the laws of the road so I believe we really need to be 100% alert while driving for we do not know who is out there behind the wheel.
And to respond to the first posting here, I really would not appreciate some one encouraging my children to take a condom for "just in case". My children are learning to take respoonsibility for their actions and they are learning about rules and boundaries and if they cross them, there are consequences and they will have to face up to them and own the responsiblitity of the actions and the law/parents needs to get tougher on the guys getting a girl pregnant and making them own up to their actions, if you are man enough to get a girl pregnant then you should be man enough to take responsibility for the child instead of running away from it and expecting the girl to do it all, you should definetly not be aloud to have anything to do with the child if you are a dead beat loser. Now, I am not syaing my children will not make mistakes and fall into temptation, but they will know the rules and all and they will be held accountable, of course I will not be sending my children to public schools therefore they will be taught about waiting til marriage as well as BC which is something that the schools seem to fail at, if they are going to teach one then they need to teach the other as well and confirm that there are choices and saying NO is not a bad thing.
And as far as husbands having buddies, I have no problem with it as my husband has his buddies and I have mine, It all comes down to love and respecting one another and putting priorities and responsibilities first which of course should be family. I thank God for a husband who loves,and respects his family and enjoys family time just as much or even more then being with buddies. We have a great loving relationship and we trust one another, so there is absolutely no probelm with having buddies to hang out with at times. it is all about balance and respect which some spouses do not have which is what causes problems, it is not about having buddies, it is about priorities..............
