Ok, I know I’m going to piss off a lot of soccer mommies out there, but I just gotta vent on this one, it’s the ridiculous graduation ceremonies for kindergarten, 6th and 8th graders.
Friends have invited us to their DD & DS’s (hang on, I’ll get to those abbreviations in a minute) 8th grade graduation parties and while it’s a nice thought, is it REALLY that important to celebrate the passing of the 8th grade? Is this such an incredible milestone as to warrant a party? If so, then why not celebrate the child’s passing of EVERY grade? Sure Jethro Bodine made it only to the sixth grade, but he had uncle Jed’s 60 million to fall back on, but I digress. Worse yet is that many parents reward this everyday event with expensive gifts and trips. One parent in another forum said they would give their DD a trip…their definition of a trip was to exclude Asia, Hawaii and Australia, but the lower 48 and Europe was OK. No kidding!
I see the “mommy” sites referring to their DH, DD & DS which stands for Dear or Darling Husband, Son or Daughter…hang on whilst I upchuck. Look, I know you parents out there just love your children and love to place them on a pedestal for all the world to see, but for God’s sake, let’s be realistic! Paying kids for grades or for the mundane accomplishment of passing kindergarten, 6th grade or 8th grade should be a private party for immediate family only, not a celebration equal to a wedding or college graduation complete with cake and expecting gifts from friends and family. These same people must have had their babies first BM bronzed.
With over 6.7 billion people on the planet, I made the conscious but difficult decision NOT to have children. That doesn’t mean I hate kids, but from what I can see, the problems we face today with self absorbed, spoiled children who then turn into rude adults all stems from the coddling they receive as children. Like the saying goes, there are no bad dogs, only bad owners and the same is true for children. Teach them how to appreciate success without having to be rewarded for every single accomplishment and surprisingly enough, they’ll thank you in the end.

Modest homes line Lombardi Avenue adjacent to Lambeau Field, Home of the Green Bay Packers, but one residence recently became a mecca of sorts to one Packer fan famiy and their growing list of friends. An Atlanta businessman purchased a home directly across from the front of newly renovated stadium and turned it into the ultimate Packer fan dream home. The view from the remodeled rear of the home would be like a mountian vista for a nature lover, but in this case the floor to ceiling view is of Lambeau field and on game day the atmosphere is electric, with fans tailgating and the roar of the stadium crowd cleary audible from the roof top deck.
The owner of the home purchased the property, then hired a builder to completely gut the interior and transform it into the ultimate pre-game party house with a fantastic view of the stadium. The garage was trasformed into a party deck and a large “G” was etched into the patio concrete.
Inside, the house features a big screen TV, pool table in a large open area that lets in the majestic view of the hallowed stadium and the scene of tailgaters and fans gathering before the big game. It’s one giant party with a front row seat.
The owner says the house was “Designed by men, for men”, he said ”It is specifically to enjoy game day and the days leading up to game day.”, and there’s no worry about missing the big play when taking your bathroom break, since the mens room is equipped with it’s own urinal complete with an overhead TV screen and includes the perfect target with the Packer Fans favorite chant “The Bears Still Suck” strategically enameled into the fixture.
Born and raised a Packer fan in Milwaukee, the owner and his family will travel to Green Bay on weekends when the Packers play at home and open up their home to friends and relatives. They plan to use this vacation house about as much as most other people use their lakeside homes.”I’m not doing this as an investment or for any kind of commercial or financial benefit” said the owner. “This is truly a spot that we’ve picked to enjoy the Packer atmosphere.” The owner hopes his dream home doesn’t start a trend though, in which other homes in the neighborhood are sold and turned into party houses.”If somebody wants to sell out to somebody as moronic as I am, that’s fine, but I just like the neighbors, like the people here,” said the owner. “I welcome all of them to come over and have a beer with me on Packer day and get to know each other a little bit.” Safe to say a new era in tailgaiting along Lombardi Avenue kicks off on Sunday. “It’s the hallowed grounds and to be so close is pretty special”.
