aaawww..no prob Bethie. Glad you're good hun. And glad you got a kick out of the vids. I laugh my butt off each time i see them.
But think you're a little confused on the NYC trip story. This is P's X that i'm talking about. And as of right now he's had them for 3 days and won't tell her where he's staying with them. She's out of her mind. Talk about controlling and using the kids as weapons. Blech. Sad.
But yes...your word is everything when it comes to kids (or anyone else for that matter). And that goes both ways. Gotta stick to the boundaries you set for them too as well as the promises you make. Only then do they feel like they are safe and that they can count on you too.
