It's been ages since I've been here and written anything... and, fyi... the sk's growing up just means bigger issues so don't hold your breath until they're "out of the house". Tumbles SD 29 is on an approximate 8-week issue cycle but the latest is that she and her bf decided not to use birth control... so... hmmm....she says this (getting pregnant)  was unexpected! She did her usual round of phone calls which doesn't usually include me...and most people encouraged her not to keep the baby. As she makes the decision Daddy gets many of a crying phone call. I remain disengaged as it's sooooo much easier! At what point will the usual phone call group not respond?

Hon, don't even think about offering an opinion; not even to your husband. Otherwise, some way, some how, the word will spread far and wide and you will be responsible for whatever happens. If you agree with abortion, you've a baby-killer, if you suggest that your SD have the child, you'll be complicit in ruining her life.

Blame easily falls on us SPs.

Once my SS19, who's away in college, brought his giant pet lizard home during a Holiday. I have a crazy fobia with lizards - and SO and 2 SSs all know it. I asked many times in the past to not bring the lizard home. So that instance that he brought it (which wasn't the only one) he headed directly to his other BP house because in my house I wasn't allowing him to stay with that horrible thing.

Next thing I know SO is very upset, I can tell. I ask why. SO tells me that it's my fault that SS19 is not staying at our house during his break; that why can't I accept that lizard in it's traveling bag. I said it's not my fault he bought that stupid animal with TUITION money, and every one knows I have that fobia, and I don't trust the dumb-dumb to not let the lizard loose in the house. I've seen pcitures of him with the lizard on his bed in his dorm.

Wow it hurts just remebering it and writing it here...

This is sooo true!! 

the sk's growing up just means bigger issues so don't hold your breath until they're "out of the house".

It does get worse because now they become entitled adults - and they think they can walk into your house and they own the place.

If she's 29 and needing everyone's input on whether or not to abort, i feel for you. Jeez. "Daddy, should i have an abortion?" Almost 30. WTF.

Tumbles has gone from abort, don't abort... after getting the entire family in a literal tizzy, we're back to abort... yesterday she had ALL the attention on her as usual, SS26 came to town just to give her the talk about her decision to have a child would shake everything out of place... who knows what the next day brings... popcorn is out
