question for all you parents & step parents

Oldest SS just turned 9 in October. His two front teeth are growing in crooked. BM has started proceedings for ss to get braces. She hates her own crooked teeth. Now, I had braces as a kid and I didn't get them till Jr high. Isn't 9 kind of young?? He still has additional teeth to loose & come in. I told DH you have to talk to her & see if she has gotten an estimate of what this is costing. We pay for the insurance & then are expected to pay for 1/2 the cost. I also told hime he has to make sure she has precerted with Delta dental or we are going to be screwed.

This ought to get interesting

Just a quick update DH's family LOVES ex. Dh 's family is nuts & due to several incidents DH has divorced them as well. Ex & BF are invited to DH's family events & we are not. DH had to fight family for ex NOT to be invited to youngest brothers wedding. ( my first intro to extended family) His older brother ( who runs the show) is a saddistic a$$hole who physically, mentally abused my DH his entire life. He also did unspeakable things that DH has never told anyone but me & EX & she still has contact with him.

Question

Here's a question I need answered. My oldest ss is 9. He is a very smart boy ( also going through the I know everything stage) yet this is the one that can't remember to take his plate to the kitchen & put it in the dishwasher. He also can't seem to do a good job looking for things when he can't find them. His version of looking is standing there & saying I can't find it.

The kids might get their wish!

Yesterday I took a pregnancy test & it came out positive!!! Both SS have told us they want a baby brother & it looks like it may happen. I am waiting for Dr to call back as the last one was ectopic & there is a 20% reoccurance rate. The boys were pretty upset last time when we lost the baby at 101/2 weeks so this time we are gonna hold off till we have to tell them, just in case something goes wrong.

My husbands parents ( who by the way had not spoken to us since they pretty much ignmored us at oldest ss football game & spent all their time with ex & her boyfriend & his kids)emailed us & called to have us put aside a weekend in Dec to celebrate the holiday. We are terrified that she is planning some weekend get away with my husband's two brothers & their families. ( My husband was terrorized his entire life by oldest brother & hates him. Not to mention they all pretty much ignore my existance because they are so in love with EX)

Holidays

A friend of mine sent me this today & it made me laugh. She was working on a project and was asking a writer friend for a positive, warm fuzzy definition of holidays & this is what she got.

holidays -- that time of year when you spend money you don't have, on people you don't like, for stuff that they will never use.
