Parenting

ok, yeah. NO.

here is my issue: you said that i said something that i definitely did not. i believe that you are talking about KrisanMD. did you even read all of her blog, or even mine for that matter?

Before Kaia was born, there was a standing joke around here that we were going to start a 'fund' for him. Instead of a college fund, his was going to go toward paying for the massive amounts of therapy he would undoubtedly need after enduring my sister, my self and the rest of the family for 18 years. We are, to put it mildly, kind of like Dharma... without a strong Greg force.

Since I'm a new foster mom, (Also the reason why I haven't been blogging as much lately...) I find that my life has changed immensely. This is an understatement. Kids change everything. The main thing is that I can't leave my house whenever I want.

Most of us think we know what type of parents we want to be (if we want to be parents) simply by carrying the tradition we get from our parents and ignoring those things that we disliked in their raising us. However, there is always that barrier when you’re just not sure what to do. Most people think I’m not going to be super strict or super loose, but where is the middle point?

I love being a foster parent. My foster daughter, Gongli, is great. Right now she is sitting across the desk from me pretending that the stapler is a telephone. Oh to be a kid again... And this is exactly how I feel. The other crap I usually worry about is gone and now my mornings are filled with oatmeal and Dora the Explorer.

Wanna be a parent without having to deal with feedings, diaper changing, screaming, crying, spit-up, day-care costs… well, pretty much all the stuff people associate with being a hassle? Still want the cute, cuddly, bundle of joy? How about that awesome baby smell and soft skin? The feeling of the little one in your arms?

i recently saw an article on yahoo about a father and his daughter having a child. they had been estranged for almost 20 years and soon after they meet again, they have a child. there's a condition out there where you feel sexually attracted to a sibling or parent but its just plain creepy that this father fathered his own grandchild and the mother gave birth to her own sister.

Have you ever woken up...and in the midst of your groggy, half-asleep state in which you aren't quite aware of everything yet, but you know you aren't dreaming, you read something so stupid that it makes you think - "Did I just read that right?"
