I haven't been on in a while due to a new baby (now 10 months) and my internet being shut off but I have really mmissed this place and the little bit of sanity you all preserve for me.

We do not have a typical c/s aggreement. Basically we get the kids according to when my SO has leave from the military and whenever BM needs a break. We have not had SDs since January... and now we get them June and July. On one hand I'm excited to see them and spend time with them but a larger percentage of me is dreading this trip. We are having some financial problems. We are a 1 income household and it is difficult but made even more so since we have been traveling 8+ hours every other month to spend 2 days with skids before having to drive back home.

Anywho, BM calls SO the other day to tell him that she is sending paperwork G info regarding YSD speach therapy. While on the phone she tells SO that kids are excited to come down and haven't stopped talking about it but that OSD has gone back to having accidents on a regular basis since learning she will be coming to visit. OSD is now 4yo. YSD is 2 1/2 an still not potty trained. I DO NOT want to be changing 3 kids in diapers for the next 2 months!!! I am also not looking forward to dealing with YSD again because last time she was here she consistently spit her food in my face, yelled, screamed, hit me and refused to listen to a thing I said. I'm super excited to go on our annual camping trip this weekend, but my parents will be bringing skids with them and as the day approaches I am getting more and more stressed. DD is now at the age where she is starting to pick up on behaviors and words and I so do not want her to act like her sisters!!! I don't know what to do. I guess I just want someone to tell me it will be ok lol.
