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!

Nice tidy little speech but
if he hadn't got caught by the FBI he'd still be screwing around. What a jerk.
Rooms in NYC
Thanks for the advice. I figured the prices would be a bit hefty. I'm not going until February, but plan on booking now. I checked the Milford Plaza and believe it or not they're already booked. My sister-in-law thinks the National Dog Show is the weekend I'm going so I'm not sure what I'll fine. I'm also sharing the room with a friend so we'll be splitting the bill for the room.
Exactly and that's why many churches have cry rooms.

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.
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.
Most rewarding parts require most 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.
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.
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.
There is a free version of Efax that does not require a credit card. sm
Are you needing to fax out, in, or both? You didn't clearly state, but said you needed a number. I receive faxes for free through efax, but haven't sent any that way. Never have I given them credit card info. Check out myfax.com.
