We share the same month! Mine is tomorrow. Leos are very popular on this board. Mike just had his birthday earlier this week.
I hope things settle down for you very soon.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
First off - "Happy Birthday"! You do sound good. Making a good life for yourself and your Ds. And moving forward in your life without worrying about H anymore. You've come a Long Long Way!
I saw the rockslide on tv of the highway up to Whistler. I've been on that road too. What a horror. So glad no one was really hurt.
I have to go back to work in Sept too. Don't you wish summer would last forever? And it really wasn't much of a summer here. Rain, rain lots of rain.
Anyway, glad to see you post and that it is all good.
SA3 I am glad you came by. I would love to hear an update from you.
Hi Barbie. Thank God no one was hurt and now they will be ready in case in happens during the olympics. They did not have a back up plan because the area was supposed to be safe from landslides. Politicians still think they can outsmart mother nature.
thank you BND and Creed.
I do have a question for you all.
First, my niece and my oldest d are a year apart and are very good friends. My youngest d always wants to play with them and they don't always want her around. Now my sister wants to take my d9 camping but not d6. I told her that my d6 feels left out. I think it is better to keep them both home so that it does not hurt my d6. After all it is her sister and her cousin.
The second thing is. I did try to sell it to her. I told d6 that she would have alone time with me and her dad. She said okay "daddy can come over here"
I had to correct myself and say well daddy won't come here but you can go there. That is when she changed her mind about letting d9 go camping. So I wonder is it a good idea to suggest to h that we do get together with the ds once in awhile. I am not sure he would want to anyway but my bigger question is would it give them a false hope?
Any parent with more than one kid faces this situation on an ongoing basis. I for one, do not agree with you. The invitation was extended to your older D, simply because she is older and good friends with her cousin. She is good company for your sister to take along. It might not be as fun for the older girls if D6 tags along. It might also be more work than your sis had planned on - it is her trip first and foremost. And then - why should D9 miss out.
Your children should always be individuals. Your older D must get plenty of invitations that do not include her younger sibling. And D6's day will come. She will get her special things to do that her older sister will not be invited to.
Being left out or not included is part of life, growing up. Take the opportunity to do something extra special for just you and her. But don't let your older D miss out on this wonderful opportunity.
I have 4 little girls who are all a year apart from one another and we run into this constantly.
They do enjoy having a break from each other, and it is good for them to have their own individual friends, even if it is their cousin.
I have no clue as to how to answer your other question about your Husband because I don't really know too much about the current situation.
But I probably wouldn't have mentioned anything to the girls until after I had talked to him, just in case he chose not to be included. I hate dissapointing my kids especially when it comes to other peoples choices.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
((((hugs)))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
Thank you for your input. So I was just wanting someone to agree with me LOL. You are right I will let d9 go.
As for the second question. I did not tell d6 that her dad would spend time with us. She misunderstood. I just wanted to know if it was a good idea to do family outings with h. Is it good for the ds or not? I don't really want to but if it is good for my ds I would do it.
