THE PESSIMIST IS BACK

Tonight I went out for supper with my son and his girlfriend. OY! She is so similar to his ex. She weighs nothing. She eats nothing. She has a difficult relationship with her father. Her mother past away a few years ago.

She sold her house while they were here so I guess my son will be moving in with her in June. I feel that it will be a disaster. They are looking at a house that will cost twice as much as what they sold hers for. He has no job and little income. Why the hell are they so stupid? Why do they have to buy such an expensive house?? How good will he feel if he can’t pay his way?? She doesn’t care now but I bet she will!!! I give them two years! Sorry! I can’t help it. She has definite opinions and he goes along but for how long. I really wanted to say something but didn’t. I suggested to my hubby that he talk to him when he comes back on Saturday.

They think they learned a lot from their past marriages and they probably did but they don’t know ANYTHING about second marriages and parenting step children.

Well time to work on my quilt. I have a lesson in the morning and want to show it to the owner of the store.

Thank you so much for all the good wishes for my being a winner in the talent show today.

You know what, he is a big boy and he has to make his own mistakes. We as mothers always want to protect our children from pain and heartache but there is no way we can. That is the journey of life. Just try to grin and bear it!

All I want to say is I WISH THEM lots of luck! CONGRATS on your winning the TALENT SHOW! I knew you could!

Heaven's Sake

Oh man… it drives me crazy when I see the accident coming and there’s nothing I can do about it — especially when it’s a BIG accident and it has to do with my KIDS… and especially when it’s their stupidity. *sigh* Being a mother is just as tough when they’re adults as it is when they’re kids… maybe tougher because you have NO control over them.

Grown children – you just can’t do anything with them!! It’s hard to watch them make bad decisions and not be able to do anything about it.

I guess they will learn on the job then….but I can understand your concerns. They are adults….they must make their own mistakes. hugs P

Congratulations on winning the talent show. You can’t say anything even though you know a train wreck is going to happen. Best to zip your lip and let them make their own mistakes.

I can understand the concerns you have about your son and his girlfriend. Remarrying can be difficult especially when there are children involved.

That Jones Thing

you raise a good point about the step children. I imagine I wouldn’t want to take that job on either.
