I once heard the saying its easy to be a parent when you're parenting other kids. I found out how true that statement was lol.
A little dysfunctionality is good brings color to the world. If those guys can keep it together they can do well if not well i guess its just unfortunate. Good luck to them, and you. Seeing that you and bt are both stable and in good places you might be having to flex your auntie muscles alot ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "BethF" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 6:18 PM Subject: Re: Mondays I see your cousin and raise you a nephew. Boytoys' brother has twins, aged 21. Geophrey has a 17 year old girlfriend (oh wait, she is 18 this past january) who is due in July. He works part time at McDonalds. He barely shows up for that job at all. Both of the dropped out of school - he has a GED and she works at daycare. They plan on getting married if it doesn't interfere with her medicaid eligibility. they have an apartment together, for which we gave them the down payment for. But they have a cellphone. Corey's girlfriend broke up with him about 10 months ago. While they were broken up she got pregnant by another guy. Suddenly, when the other guy dumped her the baby was possibly Coreys. Now he is sure its his. I have convinced him not to put his name on the birth certificate but he plans on adopting the baby when she turns 18 (the baby will be here any minute and she won't be 18 for almost a year). Her mother is an alcoholic who alternates from being supportive to being drunk and physically abusive. Corey works at a bowling alley. Ugh. Thank god boytoy is functional. I am going to be a great Auntie, and I dont' even have any kids yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Haggerty, Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 8:02 AM Subject: Mondays > Another Monday...
