Cross country pasta party?

This thursday i am hosting a pasta party for my xc team. Probably 15-25 people are coming (high-schoolers) but i don’t know what to entertain them with… in addition to a basketball hoop, pool table, ping-pong table, a large yard, and woods in my backyard. what stuff can we do? (with a large yard, woods,?)

Where can I get a small basketball net for a pool hoop?

I have a pool hoop and it has no net. It is smaller than a standard size net. Where can I get one?

How do you fill in a plastic hole basketball hoop?

Hi. I bought a Basketball Hoop with a plastic base in which water is pumped in for a pool. While moving the unit around, i noticed a hole less than a penny’s size big, on the underbelly of the unit, on the water tank.

What should i do to fill this hole in?
Is it even possible to fill this hole in?

Whatever it is, it needs to be waterproof, and able to sustain the NJ summer.

Thank you.

WHAT is a good way for me to lose weight and build muscle fast? i want to do all of the things i listed. i need a sceduel of what to do. after 4:00. thank you

Is this joke offensive, just dumb, or kind of funny?

A group of fifth graders are talking about their christmas presents after they return to school after christmas break. One kid says, “I got a bike”. Another kid says “I got some clothes and a playstation”. And one of the other kids says “I got $100 from my grandma. The last kid says “I got a bike, a playstation, clothes, $500, a TV, a DVD player, a basketball hoop, a pool table, and all kinds of action figures, I feel bad for you guys for not getting as much stuff as me.” Then, one of the other kids says “Yeah, but at least we don’t have cancer.”

what other sport should i try?

I’m on a swim team and practice 5 days a week (M-T 6:30 to 8:00 pm and Sa 9:00 to 10:30 am) , but only have to be there 3 practices. I’m thinking about the volleyball team at school next year, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to go from volley ball practice straight to the pool 2 days a week because of how long each practice is. Any ideas of a sport I could/should try? Even if it’s just for summer…
BTW, I want to be on a team where I can practice there but also at home and I don’t have anything special like a basketball hoop or pool.

If you were a guest in someone’s home would you permit your child to behave like this & take no responsibility?

* This is a really long question, and I’m sorry for the length. If you don’t want to read it, then don’t, but please don’t answer just to complain about how long it is. Thanks*

My stepmother’s older sister and her 10-year-old nephew are staying at our house while their home is completing an extensive renovation, and he perpetually throws tantrums, invades my personal space, and destroys my things without any remorse or accountability. He does have Asperger’s, a mild form of autism, so I realize that to an extent he has a harder time controlling his impulses and behavior, but he attends a school for gifted children and has the intelligence and ability to follow instructions. The problem is that he has such a horrendous, self-harming fit whenever he is corrected or doesn’t get what he wants that his mom just lets him get away with ANYTHING. They stayed with us last spring when the renovations had first begun, and he drove me insane on a daily basis. We have a guest house that they were supposed to stay in, but he just felt at liberty to roam around the entire house, snooping in rooms and breaking things. We have a lovely backyard with a pool and basketball hoop, but instead he’d dribble a freaking basketball up and down the hallway outside of my room until I wanted to puncture my ear drums. I would plead with him to go elsewhere, but that never worked. I tried to bribe him with candy and his mom went mental on me for it. But she does nothing to modify the behavior. And worst of all, she acted like she was the one doing ME a favor because somehow she got the idea that my dad had asked her to stay there with us. That wasn’t really the case. It’s true that my stepmom had been going through a difficult pregnancy then and I’d be in treatment for a health problem and so my dad had wanted an extra adult in the house while he was gone. BUT the real reason was that her kid needs everything to be in perfect order and that wasn’t possible with the construction going on.

This time, it’s totally just us doing her a favor. He still dribbles the basketball in the hall, he perpetually
barges into my room, and he shows no consideration for us or anything in our house. He has snooped through my room several times before and just barged in there and made himself comfortable. I’ve walked in the room to find him there on my computer several times. Yesterday he went into the room I use as an art studio and destroyed some of my work and vandalized the furniture. He painted directly onto an expensive watercolor station and messed up a taboret and easel. That’s like $2000+ worth of art furniture. Plus he f’d up a painting I’ve been working on for 3 weeks.

If I had left my belongings out in a communal space and he had ruined them, then that would be partly my fault. But this was my room that he trespassed in to begin with. I did freak out a little when I saw the studio, and I said somethings I shouldn’t have, but I was frustrated because his mom just kept defending him and made no apologies. She didn’t hold him accountable for anything! She just trivialized the damage. Instead of being on my side, my dad just got mad at me for not handling things as well as he thinks I should have, and has not yet done anything to help me. He has recognized that the furniture was wrecked, and knows how much it cost. He knows how much work I’ve put into my art. Whereas, my step-aunt (who btw, is actually my stepmom’s much older half-sister that she didn’t even grow up with!) will get all defensive if a single comment is made about her kid or he is in any way slighted, my dad won’t stand up for me. He said it’s not his responsibility to tell another parent what to do, but I disagree because it’s HIS house and the mother is doing nothing. It doesn’t matter what this kid does, it only matters how I react to it in his opinion. He doesn’t want to hear about how the kid is driving me insane. He acknowledges that the kid is totally out of line and has no regard for the household, but won’t do anything about it and will yell at me if I try to do anything. I would have been drawn and quartered if I’d ever behaved like this kid. Instead, he is totally indulged. I’m not trying to say she’s an awful mother because her two older kids are my age and totally awesome. This is only one that acts like that. Because of his Asperger’s and the divorce he can just do whatever. My parents are divorced too and I had freaking cancer and yet I was still expected to act in a civilized manner, so I don’t get her at all. I’m not saying she needs to be harsh, but she should at least explain why what he did was wrong and take away a privilege or something. She shouldn’t excuse everything he does and make him exempt from all rules and common decency. She should take responsibility for the financial damages he causes.
If your child had zero regard for the rules of the house he was a guest in wouldn’t you be embarrassed? If he invaded their privacy and used things without permission wouldn’t you make him stop? If he broke things wouldn’t you pay for the repair? She’s not poor by any means. And on the flip side, if you had a house guest whose child was a total terror and causing problems for your own child, wouldn’t you do something? Would you really just let this kid get away with anything in your own home? Seriously.

Okay, I’m sorry about this vent.
Flo – I am not intending to cause offense or downplay Asperger’s. I was told that it was a form of autism, and believed it without doing additional research to verify that was accurate. I apologize for my mistake.

As you said, each case varies. This child is 10 years old, almost 11, and attends a very exclusive private school where a professionally administered IQ test and certain score was required for admission. His mom brags about how smart he is all the time. He goes to the same school as my little sister (who is my mom and stepdad’s kid, and so she doesn’t have to deal with him in her house), and she said that he is not given free reign there. He is expected to comply with the rules, and so he does. With his mom, there are no such expectations, so he does whatever the frick he wants.
Hey Mama – it wasn’t my choice to let him stay here either time. My stepmom agreed to let them stay.

Well, I know candy doesn’t normally modify behavior, but I tried a dozen other things, and the only thing he seemed to be interested in was this box of candy a friend gave me.
Flo – There is no need to name-call me when you are not here to witness the situation for yourself. As I said above, he does behave in school when expectations are made clear to him, and therefore could be expected to comply with some here.

Would you really like if after going through chemo you had a child dribbling a basketball outside of your bedroom for hours on end nonstop? He did that every day last spring when
they stayed here. I finally lulled him outside to play, and his mother got annoyed because she was working inside the guest house and the dribbling drove her insane. And SHE is the one
who uses his Apsperger’s and the divorce as a justification for every poor behavior.

He still dribbles the ball for hours inside.

Would you really not care if someone destroyed something you’d been working on for weeks? I sell my art. It’s time and money wasted. Would you not care if someone wrecked supplies and furniture?
You are the one coming across in your answer as being incapable of viewing things from a perspective beyond your own.

I’m not the brat in my home situation or in this Q&A.
It has been suggested that she stay in a hotel. But why stay in a hotel when you can mooch off your family and stay in a lovely guest house with a pool and yard for free?
And Flo — I DO understand that IQ doesn’t equate to empathy or social behavior. I’m sorry, I wrote the comment above before reading your 2nd edit. Please calm down.

Like I’ve repeated numerous times above, he does function quite well at school. He attends parties, he plays soccer, he was in the school play. If he really was that incapable of functioning in social atmospheres he wouldn’t have demonstrated capability at functioning in social atmospheres! I think his mother is totally failing him by letting him do whatever he wants at home. She will put him out of her sight and let him have free reign.

Like I said, the problem is that he is given no boundaries whatsoever here, whereas in the other situations he is.

You’re judging this based on your own partial perspective without considering that the situations between this kid and your son may not be not the same.
Animefan – yes, the rooms do have locks, but you can only lock them from the inside while you’re in them. He went into the rooms while I wasn’t home.

I am changing the door knobs to my art studio and room this weekend to the kind where you have to have a key.

I do stay at my mom’s as much as possible. My dad is the one who wants me to stay here, and this is where my dog lives.
Sarah – excellent point.

I have a professional-grade paper cutter, glue gun and other things that he could have seriously harmed himself with.

To : ) ~ I have tried to engage him. I have included him on outings and done my best. I have not provoked any of the behavior. The only thing I did wrong was yell and let emotions get the best of me when I saw that my art studio was wrecked. I did apologize to the mother and him. They have not apologized to me at all.
Ben W – thank you for all the great suggestions. : )

A backdoor to the house is kept open during the day, so they can get in. We have a gate around the property so nobody else can just wander in the yard or into the houses.

I really, really hope they move out soon. My dad is just going along with it because of things going on with my stepmom, and her wanting her sister there. If lucas stayed in the area where he is supposed to be, this would be a non-issue. I would love to lock the backdoor and keep them out, but I’m not allowed to. It’s beyond frustrating.

Outdoor Play Structures Sets or Kits for School-Aged Kids?

Hello,
I am opening up a daycare for School Aged Children ages 6-10, and we are trying to decide some outdoor play structures for them. Some ideas we have is a blow-up pool and basketball hoop. However, we are trying to determine what other out-door play structure-type kits and sets are available.

We thought about swing-sets but that may be better for “younger” children. Children ages 6-10 may not want to play with a swing set.

Can anyone share any ideas for outdoor play structures for children ages 6-10?

Thanks alot in advance……
