what would you do??
My child hood friend Mary and I get to together every couple of months to catch up since we are both super busy with our every day schedules. Usually we meet up at night once the kids are asleep and enjoy a dessert at a near by restaurant. Recently we got together at FLIPS the sports bar and grill, it was late..I'd say about 9pm (thats late for us) when we got there. We ordered some cake and started on our catch up chat, the place wasn't too busy but it wasn't empty either. Near by was a table with a dad, mom and little boy that was about 6 or 7yrs old. Mary and I could help but over hear the dad yelling at this little boy for no apparent reason, I had a clear view of their table but never saw this little boy act up in any way. The place was filled with t.v.'s so I only heard some of his louder comments like "SH**, what are you doing?", "wait till we get home!" and other things were said that I can't exactly remember. The little boy was playing with a cell phone and didn't seem to be bothering them, maybe he was asking for help with a game, I'm not sure. I kept looking and telling Mary that I felt like I was on the ABC show "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?". I seriously was looking for camera men and thought I should do or say something. Have yall seen that show? I love it, Craig says it was made for me because I'm so nosey and always over hear weird situations. Here is a link to the show http://abc.go.com/watch/what-would-you-do/SH5555951?cid=google_news_sem. The mom at the table gave the dad a few looks and told him to be calm but that was it, I just felt bad for the little boy. Every time the dad screamed other tables turned and looked at them, I was worried for the little guy when he got home. Mary and I agreed that as a parent we wouldn't want someone telling us how to train or correct our own kids so we just sat and in my mind I quietly said a prayer for the son.

NaturalNews exclusive: International Medical Council on Vaccination refutes vaccine propaganda with myth-busting report
NaturalNews exclusive: International Medical Council on Vaccination refutes vaccine propaganda with myth-busting report
Whether or not you choose to vaccinate yourself or your children, you owe it to yourself to hear both side of the story before making a decision...obviously my blog is one sided so of course get INFORMED! We do so much research on all the things we buy for our home such as the best t.v., which stroller has good reviews, why a PC over MAC and the list just goes on and on. So why do we just take our doctors word on medicines and vaccines that are being put into our kids bodies? I started doing research on vaccines when Irina was about 1 1/2, at this age she was pretty much current on her shots and was only missing a few of them. Her pediatrician was ok with staggering the monthly doses so long as we got them all, and so we did what we thought was best for her. I wish I would have gone deeper into ALL research and not just the one-sided blogs/forums/sites bashing the "hippie" theorists. After reading and working hard to understand how vaccines are made and why they were implemented we decided to stop vaccinating her. It wasn't a big deal at the time because like I said earlier- she was only missing a couple. When we had Crew we knew we would not vaccinate and as a result our pediatrician refused to him AND Irina. We received a letter in the mail signed by every physician practicing there, explaining we were no longer welcome in the building due to difference in philosophy regarding the practice of medicine. The letter hurt my feelings a great deal because they were literally rejecting both my kids; Irina was included because she is exposed daily to her non-vaccinated brother. Craig and I stand firm in our decision and continue to read anything that crosses our path that pertains to our kids, especially their health. We want to make the best choices for them and that calls for us to be EDUCATED and INFORMED. Know why you do or don't do something, they cant read these articles so we need to do it for them.
