OK for all you seasoned Nuke supporters, do you suggest sending a care package every week while they are in A School or would that be to much? every 10 days or more??

While I'm not taking a side on any of this photo stuff, I would like to highlight one experience I had while my fiance was in BC. I had posted on N4M what hotel I was staying at during a discussion so we could all get together. His leader in BC (don't remember which position, sorry) went on the site and found out and started harassing my fiance about it, saying things like "I heard your girlfriend is going to be at X hotel, we'll go there the first night after she drops you off, but the next nights we'll have to find somewhere else to go". My fiance didn't let it bother him because he knows I would never cheat, but for others without such thick skin, it might have. Now does it stop me? No, unless my fiance asked me not to. And if I had pictures with me, I might chime in too, but just another perspective to look at.

hahaha. I posted the picture to Aaron's Facebook wall. Considering it was... 2 days? ago, I think he's alright with it. At least he hasn't said anything to me. :)
Comment by Mark on March 2, 2011 at 12:44pm

FWIW ladies - I think your kids will just look at the photos as more goofy Mom stuff. They would only care if it might get them into trouble. Just my two cents :).

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on March 2, 2011 at 11:22am

William - I'm not trying to be rude, so please dont take it that way: I'm just speaking for me and my son!  Of all the things a Sailor has to worry about, I'm sure posting a baby picture is not on the list.  My son could care less.  Before he left for BC we did a entire wall of pictues thru the years.  Nothing highly embarrassing about it.  Now if it were nude photos or pix of an old girlfriend, that may be a different story all together.  The pictures posted are not for the "walk of shame" but more for the pride a mother feels for her baby that has grown up to become a man.

Make today count ladies!

My son and daughter didn't fight often but when they did I would make them hug and kiss each other to make up.  They hated it but it stopped the fight pretty fast!  lol

Comment by William in Nashua on March 2, 2011 at 10:54am
This thing about posting your sons' baby pictures might seem cute but may be unintentionally highly embarrassing to them. They are in the pressure cooker already why put another stumbling block in front of them. I would never do that to my son. As for doing it on purpose -- well that is off the charts.
Comment by DramaboysMom on March 2, 2011 at 10:18am
I  always figured that embarassment works both ways.  I will cry with them, smile with them, laugh with them, share sorrow and joy, but i will NOT be embarassed BY them!  
Comment by DramaboysMom on March 2, 2011 at 9:06am
We also used to start a conga line or the bunny hop through our local Wally-Mart!  Ahhhh the good old days.  My youngest still does those silly things with me... often his instigation... He's 6'4" and looks like a bear! Too funny!
Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on March 2, 2011 at 8:44am
OK, Drama, I see where the drama started.  Ha ha.  I'll have to share that with my kids, so they can do that with their kids.  :D
