Okay, so most of you know my situation by now, and so I ask you, what the hell am I getting myself into? SS8 lies continously and no matter what I have tried, it hasn't worked. We have tried nasty tasting things in his mouth, sentences, soap, spankings, groundings, ect... He can't use the excuse that he doesn't get any attention, I am a stay at home mother and spend quite a bit of time with all my boys. DH spends time when he home. He is also very materialistic and lazy. SS9 is diagnosed w/ ODD and can be very hard to put up with.

Well, I heard from BM today, even though it is a direct violation of the court order. She called in lieu of her attorney b/c said attroney is "out sick." We had been leaving messages for attorney to expain some things to us and to send the documents for our attorney to look over before we sign. Attorney must have told her client (BM) and this is why she she is calling and what she says

MIL calls about 9:oopm, saying she's right by my house and she is comming over. I told her it was too late as all the kids were in bed. She said she was comming anyway. So I shut and locked the doors and went ot bed myself. Before I could even get into bed, there was banging on my door. Not wanting to wake the kids, I went ot answer the door. MIL was drunk, I mean swaying, slurring her words drunk. I told her to go home and sleep it off. She said she was here to get the kids and proceeded to push her way past me in the house.

Well we heard from BM's lawyer and BM wants to give up ALL parental rights of the SS's.....With the stipulation that I will adopt them. Yeah, weird huh? This comming from a woman who would see her own kids in hell before she let me have anything to do with them. hey have lived with us for the past 2 years exclusively and have seen BM for almost 1 year so...We talked to the SS's b/c we have to make a decision in 2 days time. They are so excited. DH and I think that a)she wants me to adopt them so that she does not have to pay child support b/c in our state at least.
