welcome nolabride you do have a tough situation going on, but im confident you can make it work out, you sound like you only wish positive results to happen, so how could it not work out? much luck to you hello ladies, long time to chat! things are a little crazy hectic in our house, SS is involved in varsity soccer as a freshman in high school so needless to say we are trying to adjust to the madness! we are used to chasing him around for club soccer all year but this intense level of sports crammed into 3 months is crazy!! in a great crazy way haha SD is getting a little left behind in her brothers wake, and her mother doesnt really try to single out alone time for the 2 of them (her 3 yr old daughter with a different dude seems to take priority over her other 2 kids, bullcrap!!! they should all be equal) but anyways, DH and i are the only 2 who try to involve her in things but she isnt very motivated to get into activities these days. well, summer is just around the corner so hopefully ill be able to get her on a swim team so she feels a part of something too. i know she feels sad that its always "brother has a game" or "brother has to go to practice" etc... she wants her own "thing." anyways, hope you all are well! happy easter to you lovely ladies!
