`Kids are a blessing but at times a curse

Ya gotta love Jared!

Sounds like you had a nice Mother's Day. Something positive is always nice. Yes, I used to watch the Subway commercials when Jared was in them. Glad your daughter had a nice time. Wish my kids had some ambition. My daughter had a little but the rest don't. Hope things continue to go well.

Hiya Bon, Yep, we had Jared commercials for Subway here Down Under ages ago. I must say, he doesn't seem to have aged at all. Your daughter is a cutie...where are her kids?

Working hard and having ambition can do amazing things. I have heard of Jared. He was all over the Subway commercials for a while. That's a great picture.

I have heard of Jarred. I remember the commercials. Good for her. It sounds like she likes her job and did the right thing there. Being a manger is a big step. You never know, maybe one day she will own her own franchise. I love Subway, I go there form time to time.

I an glad to know that you have a good sister with intelligence and ambition. I hope she will travel a long distance in her life with the story of success.

I have heard of Jared, wish I could eat at Subway... but then again, I can't eat most "lunch meat" and hate most of those weird veggies they put on their sandwiches... (peppers, onions, you know...)

I read about Jared years ago when I saw the commercials. He at Subway instead of the junk he usually ate, began to exercise and ate sensibly. Subway helped but it wasn't the only thing that made him lose weight. And now he's happily married and enjoying life. It's great when our kids achieve something like a management position. I have one son who is an achiever with big plans and one who hasn't found his way yet and is practically living on the streets.

the lady at the side looks like a Filipina bunny... anyways, we all do complain or brag about our kids..most of my topics even here are about my own children.. our lives revolves around them, therefore we have a lot to talk about them

yes i know who jarred is and i would love to have the cahnce to meet him, he is an inspiration to everyone.. i just dont see how he ate so many sub sandwiches and did not get tired of the same thing or found enough different ones to lose weight i may look him up online im sure there is something about him and how he did losse the weight.. its great that you are proud of your daughter i hope one day to be as proud of mine two daughters as well but in time it may happen after a few hundred prayers lol take care :)

I am beginning to understand why - - my friend calls his little one a terrorist - my granny used to call me a little ghost - my mom calls my bro devil - my mom calls my little nephew - an emotional blackmailer And amidst all these, I am now confused what will I call my kid when I have one

You're definitely right! Kids are sometimes a blessing, but sometimes they're a curse, especially when they have their temper tantrums. But it depends on us how we consider it. As a mom, we must be patient with our kids.

Hi Bunny! I bet everyone has heard if Jarred. He did an awesome thing and Subway has gotten a lot of mileage out of him as their spokesperson. I could never do it that way. I'd want all the mayo and stuff on them. I love Subways. Yep our grown kids are still the light if our lives and also get on our last nerves!

It's hard to say if my kids are a curse. My eldest (28 now) really became someone. She always was very sweet, always gives in, always is the underdog as well. I am happy she changed now (a bit). I haven't seen her on Mother's Day (was yesterday) but the day before. She and my other daughter (22) gave me a new laptop after 7/8 years I have a new one (strange enough it's hard to say goodbye to the old and messy one which I probl. won't do and try to give an extra life somehow somewhere). She is a bakery, also model and now training models as well and making her own clothes (my eldest) for the catwalk. I am so proud of her. I was a teenage mom and besides of the fact she is my best friend and we are very close she is the prove that also with a teenage mom you can be who you want. A great person. My 22 year old is very creative as well. She is an animator, also working for a local tv/radio station. If you want to know how to get what you want (and need a lot of luck) stick with her. I have hardly see her yesterday either since she had to do things for the radio/tv station. So I spend the day mostly with the youngest two who already started figthing at 6 or 6.30 pm! Not a great way to wake up I can tell you. Problem my son.. he is always awake early, wanted to join his younger sister in his bed (made under his) and she likes to sleep longer. They were kind of fighting whole day on, in between doing other things (I had to take my daughter to swimming class at 8.30 pm), it nerved me somehow. Perhaps because I felt tired and already have nerve pains since 4 weeks. they are not a curse (actually I got way more freedom since I have kids as before) but I was broke at the end of the day and went to bed early.

Good to keep a balanced view of your kids. I think business meetings like that can be really inspiring. I like the idea of eating Subway and losing weight.

That is great that she has so much ambition! She will go far in life.
