Jenny asks…
What should i be for halloween?!?
about me: Im a guy, 6’1, 228 lbs. I was thinking of being either ironman or the hulk, but all the costumes i have seen for those two SUCKED! except for this $800 hulk costume ) but i don’t have an extra 800 to spend.
My wife and i COULD be a couple for halloween, but we don’t know what to be,. . . .
so, if anyone has any cool ideas for a couple, or better yet, a really cool costume for just me (she already has an angel as her backup costume) please let me know
any ideas on how to MAKE a cool ironman/hulk costume would be good too…
any websites that have affordable and GOOD costumes, would also help
thanks in advance

Im really not sure how you’d make an ironman costume, so i’ll try to think of a way to make a hulk costume.
Have you seen the hulk gloves for children? They’re toys. You punch them together, they make noises. I don’t know if they’d fit you, but if they do, they can be purchased anywhere that sells toys. Walmart, toys r us, etc. Next, a tight white shirt. Or any color, your choice. Get a size smaller so it looks like you’re hulking out! Button down or just a tee. Your choice to put holes in it. I’d definitely go for some kind of green body paint. I’m not sure where you could buy a ton of it. (face, neck, chest?, arms). Hmmm. I’m not sure how to create the hulky leg effect. I’m having a brain fart. The padding stuff? I don’t know where to buy it.
Anyway, i hope at least somewhat helped or gave you some ideas to go from. Good luck with your costume!
Maria asks…
Am I nuts? Or is my mom spoiling the heck out of my kid?!?
My mom and I are very close, we grew up poor and never had anything. We lived in low income housing, and my grandma was so mean growing up, she played favorites with my cousins, and she was just really a mean grandma who didn’t really care.
So fast forward… I am now a mother, and my son is 5 years old. My mom is in a financially decent life situation, and she buys my son any little thing that comes out of his mouth, and any big thing that he want too, and it’s starting to really bug me. I don’t think that I am wrong for not wanting her to cater to his every little 5 year old whim. I want him to learn the concept of earning things, not cry to grandma to get what you want. Here’s an example from just the other day: my son and I had already decided that he was going to be Hulk for Halloween. I had planned on making the costume, and we were going to paint his face green and everything. I haven’t had time to put together the costume yet because I have a busy college class schedule. So anyway, we are at the store and I got separated from them while shopping, and so she calls me and says, we are done, so we’re going to go look at costumes. I’m like ok see you over there in a bit. So I get to where they are, and my son is whining before I can even figure out what he wants… and I say, no, you already decided on Hulk remember? And here comes the whiny whine pout festival… I HATE whining. absolutely will not tolerate it. So I said no, but of course grandma says yes, she will buy it for him. I said No, because that is not how you get things, and you are essentially teaching him that if he whines, he gets what he wants. Then I start being made out to be the bad guy because I’m all mad at this point because I’m insulted as a parent. Long story short, I ended up not wanting to start an argument with my mother over my own kid’s costume, so I just said, I’m not buying it, and that if my son changes his mind and wants a different costume later, tough cookies, he’s not changing costumes. To make it even worse, on the way out he says, OOooh can I have candy? I say no, son turns to grandma and says, will YOU get it for me?? I lost it and said no way. It’s past dinner time, no candy. I made him get fruit instead.
Sorry this is so long, but seriously?? Am I being too picky?? I don’t want a spoiled brat for a kid. This whole thing drives my husband seriously crazy… but he is not about to say anything to her because he doesn’t want to start an argument with her.
Oh, and she‘s buying him a nintendo ds today, for no reason other than he wants one. Again, he is only 5 years old. Am I out of line, or is this spoiling getting out of control?

Given your background (growing up impoverished, having a ‘harsh’ grandma) it sounds like both you and your mom may be trying to one-up each other and fighting issues which aren’t really there.
You seem hell-bent not to spoil your child. Good. But, at the same time kids change their minds constantly and sometimes a little spoiling is good (no one else in the world is going to spoil you, family can do that) At the same time Grandma (your mom) is trying to lean so far the other way to counter your hard-nose approach.
Why don’t you and your mom sit down and talk about your issues (I’m guessing there are things you both want to say to one another about the past that you’re not saying) and both calm down a bit. When you’re not trying to counter one another you’ll both turn your energy onto your son — and that’s what is best.
