BM just called

And wow, I've been a fool.

I could have sworn that SD14 was smarter than this, but apparently not. She was just caught - for the second time this year - sending extremely explicit texts to her new boyfriend. She's only been "dating" him since Saturday. When BM talked to the boy's mother, she found out that he had talked at least two other 12-yr-olds he had "dated" into sending explicit photos to him.

Stages of Child Raising?

This is probably going to be long, because I have a tendency to babble.

Just to start, I don't (and won't) have kids of my own. I've never spent any time around small children, and to be honest, they make me uncomfortable. So my ideas may be totally crackpot ones - that's what I'm trusting ya'll to tell me. Blum 3

I know I was saying "somebody please shoot me" regarding this trip - yep, insanity. Even with people changing schedules and making alternate arrangements, we have 9 people and 2 dogs in a small 3-br house.

Wish me luck!

For we're off to face BM.

This trip is going to be stressful, I know that already. 90% because I like my privacy darnit! and 10% because we're going to be dealing with a hyper SD at MIL's house. I adore my MIL, but she's one of the ladies who thinks grandchildren are for spoiling. I don't feel as free laying down the law when I'm not in my own house, but DH will take care of it.

BM - having a hissy over nothing

So, DH and I are going to Louisiana for Xmas. Aside - kill me now, it's going to be MIL, SD12, DH's brother and his wife, all four of his sisters and their husbands/fiance and us.... Why did I sign up for this? Luckily, most are not staying at MIL's.

We're going to be picking up SD12 on the way, this coming Sunday, and dropping her off the following Saturday. This has been in the works for well over a month. DH gave BM the rough timeline at least two months ago. DH told SD the idea after it had been okayed. Everything is hunky-dory.

I am sad this weekend (non-step related, long)

My mom and dad came to our house for Thanksgiving Day.

Let me just say to start that I am extremely grateful that we have already decided not to have children for our own personal reasons because I'm facing supporting one or both of my parents, and wouldn't be able to do both. I can't imagine the resentment I would have if I wanted a baby and couldn't afford it due to the cost of eldercare.
