Rented a minivan we didn't need and got a hotel room and the visit costed around $400. Then we get home and have to spend more money on them that we shouldn't have had to. But over all the visit wasn't terrible. We didn't even go to BM's apartment because sd17's babydaddy drove her to meet us everywhere. None of the skids will get their liscence so they have to be driven everywhere. SD19 was bratty a few times and won't ever just not argue with everybody, and sd17 and her little family stank really badly. SO is heartbroken over how they live. I feel bad for him. Plus guilty because he moved to my state to be with me and his kids wouldn't come with him and everything went to hell for them staying with their mom. They were 14-19.

Anyway I got to cuddle with babies and have hotel sex. And I bought a pile of books for the babies and a cookbook for sd17 because she loves to cook. She's actually my favorite as long as she's on her bipolar meds.
