Hello World!!

Hope everyone is fine!! Everyone here is fine!! Today was a stressful day for me & I am not even sure why I felt soooooooo stressed. I started cleaning in the early afternoon & the kid's were right behind me messing up. It ended up taking me many more hour's than it should have considering this house is not all that big. I cooked baked BBQ chicken, a pasta salad & corn for dinner, all 4 boy's were home for dinner plus a friend of my oldest sons' & they chowed. I had my oldest son take my 2 youngest son's with him for a lil' bit so I could have a break. It was so needed & appreciated too!!!

I never feel down, I am such an up kinda person but today I just feel kinda blah, like bummed for no apparent reason. I don't know but maybe it's because I realize that the 1 year anniversary of Jamies' (my late husband) death is in 2 weeks exactly (July 3rd., 2005). I was really detached from him and long ago but I still wish he woulda just been a man about everything and instead of commiting suicide get the professional help he needed for the sake of the kid's. I was not so hurt as I was pissed that he did not think about the effect his suicide would have on the boy's & I. I was the one left to pick up the pieces for my boy's, I hurt so for my boy's, they have had sooooo many losses at such young ages. It was difficult for the first few day's but we managed. It was like a bad dream I was waiting to awake from but it never happened, instead reality finally set in and I decided I had no choice but to be strong for my boy's because I truly was all they had left. Poor James Jr. (our only child together) & Colton (my son from my first marriage), they have no clue about the circumstances of Jamies' death, I did not wanna tell them the facts of life (and Jamies death) so young, so I told em he had a heart attack. This will be a tuff one when they are older to explain and I really do not look forward to the day I have to tell em! ;-( I am sure I will be a mess crying because I will fell it will be too much for them to handle but I also don't want them to find out from other sources.

I am just really thankful I met such a wonderful man, my boyfriend, my baby Bob!!! He really was heaven sent & not just to me but to ALL of us!! He's just what we needed. A sweet, loving, caring, affectionate, stable, dedicated, sensitive man & one day hopefully he will be ALL our's!! My kid's adore him as much as I do, they tell me so and I am sure Bob felt it yesterday. Yesterday morning, after Bob woke up, the kid's & I gave Bob some tokens of our love & appreciation for him for Fathers Day. Bob was kinda a wee bit caught off guard but did well with it. Well later Bob & I took my dad & his parents out for Fathers Day dinner, it was very nice too!! Well when we got home, Colton & James had given Bob some freshly picked flowers and a homemade card for Fathers Day, they did this all on their own too & I thought it was so sweet. Later, Bob tells me "I think your kids really like me", I agreed. He don't know just how much my kid's like him either. Last month, the kid's & I went shopping, I bought them new bike's and we also bought a new bike for Bob for his birthday & some t-shirts. Well when it was time to pick out the card, the boy's (Colton & James) wanted to get a card that said "Dad" on it but I would not allow them to. I told em not yet maybe later and left it at that. I don't feel my kid's should call him dad considering he's only my boyfriend, it's too easy to end a relationship that does not have the commitment marriage has. If we were married & the kid's chose to call him dad & he was comfy with that, then it would be between the kid's & Bob. It's strictly my son's choice, I would never force em to call Bob dad & would never allow anyone else to tell my boy's "he's not your dad, don't call him that", I'd trip. Anyway, I simply adore my baby & I just can't get enough of him. He's so perfect for me, for us. He's very good to us & I can't see how any woman coulda walked out on him, I do know, I'll never walk away from him. He's ALL I never knew I needed!!!

Anyway, I wonder just how many people really read my blog. If your reading, let me know. I just kinda use this an an outlet. I really do feel better now just typing my feelings here, I have had a few tears roll down my cheeks too since I started typing but I do feel better. I can't wait for my baby to get home!! I miss him so when he's away!!!

G'night world!!!

Mary

Hello World!!!

Hi Anna,

I posted a question at Yahoo answers recently regarding the situation between the kid's and I would like to share it with you. Incase you are wondering why I wanna share it with you, it's because my son is affected by the choice you & Vito have made for Ripley. I do respect whatever you chose for your daughter but I don't agree and my son is indeed affected as well and I do worry about the repercussion's from what y'all have decided. Please read this when you have some quiet time.

Mature responses only regarding my teen son & his girlfriend.?
My son (Skip) will be 17 within a few weeks, his girlfriend (Lulu) recently turned 16, they have been together for about 17 month's They are both really good respectful, helpful & responsible kid's. Names have been changed to protect their idenity.

Here's the deal-
Lulu's mom (Sissy) had tapped her phone line to "catch" a bill collector harrassing her & her husband. Well Sissy accidently stumbled upon a conversation with Lulu & Skip talking about sex & having phone sex. So Sissy call's me and ask's me to come over nd hear the tape. I could not listen to much of it, I did not wanna hear some of the stuff my son said, he's my baby. Well anyway, Sissy & I plan a meeting with Lulu & Skip to discuss sex, birth control & the call. All went well so I thought. Well now Lulu will be sent away for the summer vacation as soon as school is out. Lulu & Skip are to have no contact for the 2 month period because Lulu's mom feels the kid's need to refocus on their goals. (Continued below)

She wants them to refocus on their education. This is all fine by me except I am scared to death that the kid's will find a way to be together even if it means running away. I called Sissy today to express my concern for her sending Lulu away. Yes, I do understand Sissy is trying to prevent Lulu & Skip from having sex at their ages but I feel the harder she tries to keep them apart, the faster they will run to each other even if it means running away. This scares me so since I'd be a mess not knowing where my kid was if this did happen. This world can be a mean place. I also don't want the kid's to get married & have babies at a young age because they were trying to be together since they were kept apart. I am not really okay with the kid's having sex either but they WILL do what they want regardless of what we say. So I stand like this on this subject, let the kid's know how we feel & at least provide them with the tools & knowledge they need to be safe. (Continued below)

My question is-
Has this ever happened to you at a young age? If so, what was the outcome? I'd like honest & sincere responses because I will share this with Sissy at a later date. Thanks!!

In reponse to some of the response-
Lulu & Skip do NOT spend a lot of time together. They see each other briefly in passing while at school & have visits here or there on average of once every week & a half or so and the visits are for short periods (just a few hours).
2 weeks ago
Just incase some of you feel I don't respect Sissy, I do. I gave birth to my first son (he's almost 21) 3 months & 3 days after my 15th. birthday (I will be 36 in 2 days). I surly don't want my boy's to ever do what I did. I want them to get their educations, have a rewarding career, their own homes & money in the bank before they start families. Because of what I put my parents through, I can understand Sissy. I am just fearful of what the kid's may do. I know I rebelled when my parents attempted to "tell me what I could & could not do".

Punishment, ridicule, and extreme restrictions will only make good kids resentful and sneaky. If the kids are convinced that they are serious about each other I would recommend discussion, education, and counseling the ways to be sure that they are very well aware of all of the possible risks and consequences of being sexually involved at their age. They will inevitably make their own decision about the situation, so the parents trying to make it for them will only push them closer together and the family farther apart. Unfortunately you cannot control her parent's radical decision, but you might be able to present them with some informational material and statistics to help them make the best decision they are capable of. Movies about young people having negative consequences to being sexually active can also be an effective tool

This was tuff, many great responses! But now "petermaxey" kinda dogged ME, I sent him an email asking him to edit his post since I am NOT the parent demanding the separation. I am in total disagreement with it for fear of what the future repercussion's may be & it could be sooner than expected too!!

I think you should make condoms available...explain to them what you would like to see happen (they become girlfriend, and boyfriend, but no sex involved), and the different outcomes of THEIR decision. This is a VERY important point...IT IS their decision, and you will respect what they do (or hopefully don't do), as long as they understand the consecuences of their actions. I think they are old enough to understand the different solutions presented to them, and the consequences of each choice.
Above all...DO NOT argue with them, DO NOT separate them (let them do it of their own accord, if they want)...for this will drive them more towards each other. I got married at 17 (my wife was also 17) because her mom drove her out of the house because she believed we were either "doing it", or planning to.
Phone sex is a way to express your feelings of what you would like to do, but know that you can't. If you try to separate them, you'remore likely to bring them closer together. Especially during the summer months, when kids got nothing better to do than go to the beach.

I don't think that you should discuss the call. If you let them know that you were listening, they will never trust either of you again. My mom used to do the same to me and for that reason we were never close. If you just bring up the discussion saying that maybe they've been spending a lot of time together and you think its time for the talk with both of them, they might agree with that more than," Well we overheard a conversation of yours". They will feel first of all embarrassed that their mom heard them say those words. Like I said before don't mention the phone call or the tape if you would like them to come to you in the future with problems.

Perhaps a 2 month delay in their relationship maybe good for the both of them. I am not in agreement how her mom has handled this, apparently she does not know the kids of today. I think perhaps your sons feelings are hurt and right now he needs your support. I feel this girls Mother
needs to loosen the ropes some..if she does not, she may loose her daughter some day by her own actions. I would abide by this women's rules and then see after 2 months what happens. (I am a mom as well)

I think that's a good idea for Lulu and your son. they are young and sissy is right they need to refocus there goals. she is not being mean, she is being a mom. if it was one of my girls i would do the same. it is a different feeling when you have a daughter.

You're obviously getting loads of vicarious pleasure from this little drama and deeply relishing your part in it. Many similar women online will also enjoy it and play your game of solicitous maternal involvement. But decent people will be disgusted, not by the kids, but by you.
Edit: Sorry Maryann, I won't modify my comments as you have privately requested me to do, because I strongly believe (as do most answerers here) that you are wrong to try to separate them and nasty to wash all this in public, just for kicks. You should just make sure the girl doesn't get pregnant, by using your own story to advise them to hold off on coitus, and provide contraceptives just in case. Best wishes, and I hope you see the light.

As the mother of a girl myself, everyone first should respect Sissy's decision. (I know, though, that both kids will be resentful.) After all, her 16-year-old daughter is still a minor and Sissy is putting her best interests first.

Secondly, no matter how old these two kids are, 17 months is a long time to be dating each other. Do they have other friends? If not, it's time for them to explore being friends with other people. They're a bit young to have such a long-term exclusive relationship. I agree that these kids need to refocus their goals. There's a lot more to life than being tied to one person at their age, no matter how good the kids are.

Thirdly, (and I don't mean to sound snitty) I'm surprised that any of you parents waited so long to have "sex" talks with your children. Now, these two have been going together for 17 months ... what did you think they were doing??? I hope it was only phone sex they were conducting! I know your son is your "baby" - he always will be. But it's time to wake up and realize that he's nearly a grown man.

They'll both be mad and will hurt for awhile, but that's part of life. Time and distance will show them that there are other things in life they should focus on. If they truly love each other, they'll make it through this and hopefully be more balanced people. (By balanced, I mean widening their horizons.)

Good luck!

P.S. - You must also take into consideration that once your son turns 18, then Lulu will still be a minor. If they are still together Lulu's mom would have the right to press charges against your son if he and Lulu are having sexual relations. If this happened and he was convicted, he'd then be a registered sex offender (probably for life). I doubt that's something you'd want for your sons future.

I think the bigger of a deal you make the more they are going to want to be together. Forbidden fruit and all that. Preach safe sex and respect for each other, make condoms easily available, get Lulu on the pill and then back off.

Please try to understand your daughter try to prove her your love by taking care of her not taking away something she loves.

Give both the kids something to do (extra-curricular activities that they enjoy - it could be that they do separate stuff) to keep them busy so that they won't be able to think of performng s** at an earl age. And make them fully understand the consequences they will be facing if ever they do "it".

Good luck and may the kids understand.

My thinking is that we raise our kids the best we can and then cross our fingers because just as when we were young did we not find a way to do whatever it was we were trying to do? when the hormones are raging just hope that the proper information has been made available. Additionally, did u ever give thought that maybe phone sex is their way of doing it without really doing it?

I was lulu at one point in my life and even though I understand why my mother did it I blame for alot of my short comings. I was seperated from my love. So in order to see him I skipped school everyday and so did he. Eventually I got left back and kicked out of high school I had a hard time getting my g.e.d . My mom took my teenage years from me. She kept me locked up in the house in an attempt to keep me from him but it didnt work we still met up and had sex. Thank god we were smart enough to use birth-control. Im not a parent so I cant really tell you what to do. You should definetly insist on birth-control. If she is to go away on Vacation your son should be allowed to contact her. Daily calls, internet, or letters. Be aware that if she goes away for two months, they might realize that they cant live without each other and they might elope. Trust me. I thought that if we eloped and married that nobody would tell us what to do or most importantly keep us from each other. Good luck.

I thinkyou've maybe made a really comon mistake here. Somehow your son has grown up a little bit faster than you were prepared for. Sounds like you're caught a little off guard and trying to play catch up but now stuck between doing the right thing and alienating your son. I don't know what the best solution is but I think monkeymom shows the best judgement here. Maybe you, your son, her and her parents could all go out for dinner then have a nice grown up talk..without any confrontations. You can recognize the fact that you know they are serious and that they are bound to have sexual "issues without being specific. Speak very straight and openly about all your thoughts, the risks, pregnancy, future plans, any moral issues, education, financial considerations, everything...just clear the air..let them know how you feel and listen to them. You may be able to come to some sort of understanding..or help them to see a few things clearer...I think at this point it's your only option. But then she still goes away for the summer.

I think you're absolutely right to think they will run away together. I also think you're a good father to talk to them about condoms, so many girls get pregnant because they can't talk to their parents about protection. As far as trying to keep them apart, it's probably not the best idea, they will rebell. You should talk to Sissy about another solution. They could go and hide for a few months and come back married, they're at that age. I would talk to Sissy and the kids, first Sissy, then everyone together.

Honestly, I don't think sending Lulu away is gonna stop her form having sex with Skip. They are at the age when sexual experimentation is happening heavily. They need to PROTECT themselves from AIDS and other sexually tramitted diseases. Sex is inevitable, they need to be well informed about the physicality's of it and the emotional trip , not to mention the potential to produce offspring. At this point, none of us know if it's love between Lulu and Skip----they want to have sex with each other--they should be informed and take this as a life lesson.

Thats a tough one. You can only effect your own sons not what the other parents are going to do. I hope you can talk to your son that even if they are separated that they can still see each other call or something. Hopefully the run away stuff doesn't happen. It is sad. I hope they don't. I was married at barely 17 and with a child. I was stupid. I gave up my child hood to raise a child. I wouldn't change it now he is a handsome 30 year old. But if you give up your childhood eventually midlife crisis will get you.... I know. My 24 year marriage collasped. Love your son. Explain to him your reasons. Don't just give in to the they will do what they want. They might still have sex but at least he will be informed. Unconditional love will keep your doors open for him to confide in you. Make yourself worthy of that. My kids could tell me anything. It was known to tell mom the stupid truth not pretty lies. Talk to him, talk talk....now is the time. At his age "laying" down the law won't work. We both know that. You got one window to effect the rest of his future. Explain to him that this is like a snowball pushed off a cliff and will gather itself until you can't do anything to change it. He has to be careful right now which dirrections he does this is the critical age that effects the rest of their life. Explain and talk as a friend. Maybe take him out to lunch just you and him one saturday. Open that door don't miss your opportunity to talk.

Hi Mary,

In response to your question, I was a rebellious teen too when i was 15. I was kicked out of the house by my parents because they thought i was on drugs and they didn't approve of who i was dating. As a teen i was felt that I was better off on the street then at home with them. I lived on the street for a year before a friend's mom took me in. My advice to you is to sit down and talk with the kids and give them options on what they should do and want to do. Our kids will do whatever they want to do regardless of how we feel about it. The more you pressure them or keep them from each other they will figure out a way to see each other and it might not be a way that you will like.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mary;
I really don't see what you have accomplished with all of this. Maybe your own peace of mind that some one some where will agree with you.
The keep talking to your kids remark was the best.
Either way, I am not changing my mind.

Anna

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Anna,

I am trying to get you to see this is kinda not fair to the kid's & I am scared of what they
might do in the future. I don't want the kid's running off and making choices that they are
much too young to make, like marriage & babies. I am also afraid they may run away. Sure, maybe
not now since I am sure you or whomever Ripley is staying with has an eagle eye on her.

Here's where I stand with this situation since I can't get you to maybe look at this
differently. If I suspect anything could be up between the kid's now or in the
future, remember my son is involved in this too, I will intervene in the way I see fit & I
will not be asking you to be involved since it's apparent you & I don't see eye to eye on this
situation. I am NOT saying this to hurt you or piss you off, pissing you off really honestly
is the last thing I wanna do!!!! Just do keep in mind that once Ripley is 17, like what, 10
month's from now? She can do as she pleases including moving out. I DON'T want my son to
leave home and get involved in bigger things until he's educated, has a decent job, money
in the bank, etc. If this means I will have to do things I would not normally agree with,
to keep my son home, I will. I am sorry Anna, but like how you have your daughters' best
interest at heart, I have my sons' best interest at heart.

Should you decide you wanna discuss this at a later date, I am open to it without ANY
hard feelings.

Mary

P.S.
Anna,
I don't mean any disrespect to you or your parenting, I really don't!!! I also don't
want the kid's to say or think FUCK our parent's, let's quit school & get job's so we
can be together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Anna,

I am sorry if my last email last night upset you in any way,
honestly, that was NOT my intention!!! It just really bothers
me when I think of what could happen. Hopefully nothing
drastic does happen but ya never know.

I am really worried about Mike & this is why I said what I
said, which I do mean. Mike has been really down for 5 day's
now & that scares me. I do talk to Mike & he knows that I am
here for him but when teenagers "think" they are in love &
are forced to be apart, it can turn into a bad situation.

Can't you just have a change of heart and allow some
communication between the kid's? Even if it's just a phone call
for a bit once a week, instant messenger, something?

Ya know Anna, the kid's are young and if they are allowed to
"just be kid's", they just may grow up & move on, on their own,
to reach their goals of further eduction. But I really do feel
that them being forced apart will make them just want to be
together even more. Don't be surprised if they marry young &
have babies young so they can show their parents, THAT'S US,
how it's done. I DON'T want this to happen & if it does, it
WILL be the fault of you & Vito, NOT me!!

Will you at least allow them a lil' visit 30 day's from today?
That will be July 7th., which I am sure you know is his 17th.
birthday. If your more comfy, you can have the kid's with you
for the visit if you approve.

Anna, please try to understand my stand on this, my son is
involved in this and affected by the choice you & Vito have
made for Ripley & Mike. I really do respect your concerns
with the kid's & sexual activity, I have the same concerns
as well but I am also very much aware of what kid's are
gonna do regardless of what parents say. I was able
to convince my oldest son to refrain from sex until he
was 17 & it was NOT by force of separation either. It was
with lot's of talking & having a very open relationship.

Again Anna, PLEASE don't be pissed at me, we both have the
best interest of our kid's at heart, It's just that we are
not seeing eye to eye on this & we need to for the sake of
the kid's & future choices they may make. Please lighten up
and do this differently, please.

If ya ever wanna discuss this situation, at any time, just
call or email me. I am usually up until to least 1:00 a.m.
& later on Saturday night.

Mary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have not received a response from the last 2 emails to Anna from me.

So maybe I am over reacting & I have been known to do so in the past but I am so afraid for my sons' future. I just want the best for him & I do fear that since the kid's are forced to be apart that they just might decide to take matters into their own hands.

I need to get some stuff done around here. Catch y'all later.

Hello Everyone!!!

I hope all is well with y'all!!! All is awesome here!!! Life is good, better than I can ever remember it being!!!! Of course, it's because of this sexy, sweet, loving, kind, fun, sensitive & did I mention sexy man Bob. Meeting him has changed my life in a gooooood way!! I love him soooooooo much!!!

I know my blog may be boaring to many of y'all but I just don't know what to type here. So, I guess I will just talk about my day.

Today I went to lunch with my friends Michelle & Lori. Michelle was soooooooo geeked, her boyfriend asked her to marry him a few days ago. It's kinda kewl to see her so geeked, she has told me for years, since her divorce, that she will never get married again. Her man has never been married or had children, he's in his mid 40's. I hope all goes good for them & I am sure they will do fine. Lori was kinda withdrawn it seemed. Think she was bummed for some reason but I don't know why. I did not wanna ask her with Michelle sitting there. Anyway, it was a good visit & I am glad we did it!!! ;-)

The 2 lil kids just got home from school, my quiet time is gone & will be history soon since the kids will be outta school this week. I need to figure out something to do with them to keep em busy & outta trouble. The 2 older boys are still working. My baby (Bob) just left a bit ago for work, I can't wait until he gets home tonight!!!

Anyway, I have some stuff to do so I need to get off of this computer. Wishing everyone a good day!!!
