Family is very rewarding..

You made my day!!  Faith and love is still alive in this world of ours.  Thanks for sharing.

So I probably need to make even more effort to see my own (sm)
I think my MIL is already getting plenty of attention. Now that I think about it, it's mine who is getting shafted.
Re the amount of effort
OMG - I had two teenagers who were 19 months apart.  Yes, it was hard and sometimes I just had to turn my head and pretend that was not my child.  The effort and sacrifices are great, especially at prom time and when they start driving.  I am glad I had mine young.  I think it helped me get through it.  I do believe that kids/teenagers are going to get in trouble for something.  That's their job and it is a way of life.  I just tried to put myself in their place when I was that age (I did much worse things actually).  That is also another reason why they could not get by with much.  I had done it all and knew what to expect.  Even so, no matter what my kids ever did and whether I trusted them or not, I always let them know and told them I loved them more than anything all the time (even if they had hurt me).  I gave them my all and taught them to appreciate it.  I put them through college and they put themselves through grad school.  I was not sure the youngest would even graduate high school.  They always knew I loved them with all my heart and I believe most of the time that pays off.  One day all that effort and sacrifice will be worth it.
What are you talking about? Effort? Just because he doesn't
live here with me by no means says I didn't make the effort. When you divorce, the kids either go with the dad, the mom, or in our case, it was both. We are extremely close and he wants to live with us.

I really regret this post now. I certainly did not need people like you responding to a very delicate situation and one that is very close to my heart. You sound really evil.
a question of amount of effort
If I had to do it over again, yes.

But I am having a hard time seeing where the amount of sacrifices I made is paying off in these "teenage years."

I think the payoff for being a good enough parent just might be raising "good enough" kids who become "good enough" parents, so you don't end up raising your grandkids....(and end up with a second chance to get it right).

Several of your suggestions require that
She will have to get her kids on board with her to accomplish some of these things.

When a wife has a restraining order against the husband, but they have kids together, it can get very very complicated.

What if it was one of the kids who let DADDY in the house? Not the wife who let the SCUMBAG in? See the kids still think of him as DADDY, whether the wife does or not.

That is excellent advice about not answering the door, I must say, but if the kids are not completely in tune with that concept, it still won't work.

As for his stuff...

Maybe she could rent a storage locker IN HIS NAME, paying the first month's rent, and then have future bills sent to him? If he doesn't pay the bill, then the storage company will be the bad guys to get rid of his stuff.

Not sure what to say about the pot problem. Definitely having a witness to the father smoking with his kids would certainly strengthen the mom's case, but the fact of the matter is that teenagers CAN and DO act opposite of how they were told to act by their mother. That happens all the time, probably even to some of the social worker's own kids. I don't really see that as being a valid reason to take somebody's kids away from them. Hopefully Social Services doesn't either. I'm of course working from the assumption that the mother is not involved at all in drugs, only the father, and that the kids may be accused of experimenting but are not addicts either.
LOL!!! And other parts of their
xx
We require that the rooms be tidy but not...sm
super clean. For example, all clothes must be off the floor, furniture not so dusty I can write my name in it and floors have to be vacuumed once a week. The kids aren't allowed to eat or drink in their rooms because we had problems in the past with this and getting ants so they're only allowed to eat in the dining area and living room (as long as they clean up after themselves on the latter).

I wouldn't allow my kids to live in a super messy room but Martha Stewart's white glove would produce dirt on it at any time!
Our high schools require it also, they want
to know who is coming in, I think mainly because if there is any trouble from someone from another school, it can be handled by that school.
i can't get this list to print out for nothin...last ditch effort.

Clumping litter does not require a liner
Mine hated any lining in their box and tore it scratching to cover anyway. I use clumping litter only, which doesn't require a liner. Litter absorbs it before it hits the bottom. Cats can be finicky about the types of litter. I left A&H alone because of the dust it has, even thought it's not supposed to have. I use Tidy Cat, clumping type, and they go for that with no problem.

Top 10 Useless Body Parts.

When you're sick you may feel that certain body parts are more trouble than they're worth. And in some cases, you'd be right. While the human body has evolved and adapted significantly since the caveman days, a few biological traces of our prehistoric ancestors still remain with us in the form of freeloading body parts we lug around with us, but have no use for. Take a gander at the top offenders!


10. Plica semilunaris
You may not know it, but you have a third eyelid. Pull open the two more noticeable eyelids and take a look -- it's located right in the corner by the tear duct. This small third eyelid is left over from what's known as a "nictitating membrane," which is still present in full form in some animals including chickens, lizards and sharks.


9. Body hair
No doubt we were once hairier. Up until about 3 million years ago, we were covered with body hair. But by the time Homo erectus arrived, the ability to sweat meant we could shed our woolly ways.


8. Sinuses
Doctors don't really know much about sinuses -- only that we have a lot of them. Possibilities for their function range from insulating our eyes to changing the pitch and tone of our voice.


7. Adenoids
Adenoids trap bacteria, but they're also prone to swelling and infection. Just ask any 7-year-old. Luckily, our adenoids shrink with age and are often removed, along with ...


6. Tonsils
Also prone to swelling and infection. If you still have them when you reach your 30s, it's almost an accomplishment.


5. Coccyx
More useful as a game-winning Scrabble word than as part of the anatomy, the coccyx or tailbone, is made up of several fused vertebrae left over from the olden days when we had tails.


4. Arrector pili
When we were hairier (see No. 9), the arrector pili made the hairs stand on end when we needed to appear bigger and scarier. Now, it just gives us goose bumps.


3. Wisdom teeth
Back in the day, when we ate mammoth meat off the bone and didn't floss afterward, our teeth tended to fall out. Therefore, when those reserve molars, aka "wisdom teeth," came in, they were welcomed. Nowadays, fluoride and dental plans have made them just a huge pain.


2. Appendix
Darwin claimed the appendix was useful for digestion during our early plant-eating years; it's dwindled down to little since we started eating more digestible foods.


1. Male nipples
Because, why?

I have been to Cancun and several parts of Mexico and
never ever had a bad time there. If you want a hate America type situation, go to Greece. Mexico is a wonderful place for a vacation. My daughter just went to Cancun this past year as she does every year and we always have a great time.

differently--did you ever consider that. I am from the South and am always having something said about the way I say certain words. You need to calm down a little.
Federal laws require that students be educated....sm
on their level however it gets frustrating for parents when their child isn't "normal" and they have to fight with schools to get their child educated. It's crazy that your nephew was passed from school to school without being able to read. As a foster parent I had a prior foster child that came to me in the 5th grade but could really only read at a 1st grade level and was very behind in all subjects.... yet her report cards from her prior schools all gave her A's and B's and commented on what a wonderful student she was. I busted my butt working with the caseworkers to get her the extra assistance she needed to get caught up and teaching her how to work around her learning disabilities, which were diagnosed while she was with me. Did the school want to cooperate? No.... but all it took was one letter from an education attorney to get them to realize that we were going to force them to educate this child instead of passing her own without helping her and then they started working with us. Crazy thing is that the federal laws require it, provide the money for it but the schools don't want to deal with the paperwork or having to do it... and they prefer just changing grades for kids and passing them on instead of helping them. This sends these kids on the dead-end street because they eventually graduate without any skills and oftentimes it goes downhill from there.

When I was growing up we had 1 teacher to maybe 10 or 15 students, and the teachers had time to work with the kids individually as they needed it. Now the schools want to cram as many kids into a classroom as they can, don't give teachers any help and on top of that expect the teachers to spend money on supplies, yet my property taxes keep going up to pay for the schools and I'm in a growing area with new houses being slapped up faster than you can say your name.

It's wrong that the schools don't give a crap when a child isn't "normal" and they want to pass them on without helping them, and they expect the parents to bail them out. Sure as a parent I'm willing to do my part but I'm not going to spend time doing all of the education of a child regardless of whether they're biological or foster, especially if the school isn't trying to educate them during the day.

8 surgeries and a gallon of silicone equal a bra size of 34 FFF


Sheyla Hershey has set a new record for something she can't and doesn't want to hide -- the largest breasts in Brazil, and perhaps the world. But is she in for more pain than she bargained for?


After eight surgeries and a gallon of silicone, Hershey's breasts round out to an astonishing 34 FFF -- and she claims she's not done.


In an interview with Fox 26 in Houston, where she traveled for the operation, the 28-year-old Brazilian actress and model said that she would like her breasts to be even bigger.


Unfortunately for Hershey, the state of Texas has limits on the amount of silicone that can be injected into breast implants -- and Dr. Malcolm Roth says this is for good reason.


"We know that the larger the implant the more likely there will be problems down the road," he says. "Maybe she'll be fortunate and not have problems, but those are very, very large breasts.

She always amply displays other parts of her anatomy, but
I mean, we know she lives in the Hamptons and has rich friends who lives in the Hamptons. Enough already. Talk about rubbing it in!
My sister has multiple cats who require differnt foods. sm
She feeds them in separate rooms.  She gives them 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening to eat.  The overweight cat has become beautifully normal-weighted over the past year.  They all do well with this arrangement as cats are only munchers cause we keep the food available all the time.   I actually started restricting food times for my cats as well and they are all doing great.  Hope this helps.
