[ - ] seeing a guy i am exclusive with, however, when asked about the future he says "i can't think that far ahead". we use condoms right now and he wants me to go on BC, but i don't do very well on it. now he tells me he has been researching and wants me to have a copper IUD put in and he will come with me. WTF. i told him "an IUD is a big commitment, so for now we should stick with condoms". i then said "for someone who can't see into the future you certainly have big plans for my birth control." he denied ever saying that. WWYD. is this a situation where he is using me for sex?? its so weird 22 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I posted on Insideschools asking Helen to reach out to her OSEPO contacts to verify this.

I'm waiting, too, but is it really such a huge thing that you're spending all day in the bathroom?

DC doesn't seem to mind not knowing where she's going. In fact, she seems oblivious to the whole process. [ Reply | More

PS 11 is a hidden secret. I can't believe what some of you elitist moms and gossip mongers are writing. PS 11 probably wouldn't be right for you; most parents there are much more down to earth. My child is in the G&T program at PS 11: he loves going to school everyday; loves his teachers and principal; and doesn't judge any other child whether they are in G&T or not . Stay away type A parents! You already had the preconceived opinions about the school before you toured or if you even toured. Oh and by the way...for those who are scared...my second child did not pass the G&T 90% but I applied for the "placement request" thru the DOE for gen ed there because of everything the school has to offer. What other school offers the chance for a modern dance company to come in and teach the entire second graders a performance to die for? We have theater arts, music, computers, gym (in a real gymnasium), a beautiful auditorium for our plays and a solid PTA that made a substantial amount of $ this year for our children next year. Oh and the class trips -- theater, theater, and exploring NYC!!! To have your child look forward to going to school in the morning is the best feeling; and from our present experience, most of the children in his G&T class feel the same way. We hope that our other child gets in as a sibling to experience all that PS 11 offers, even in general ed! For all the parents putting down PS 11 -- you have no idea... [ Reply | More
