Ok, here we go, I just got a small problem right now, you see, my kids enjoy going to their uncle's house on the weekends.I am a single parent, so I don't object to this.I got 3 kids, who enjoy 2 days away from mom.So what's the big deal?Ok, my parents, (grandparents to my kids.) Have a problem with them going over there so often.Mind you, I raised these 3 kids on my own.I never asked anybody for anything.And all of a sudden the kids are teens, and want to bust out away from home, on the weekends.I get it.And I being the only mom of the 3 get it.The kids, are 18, 17 and 14.They are extremely close and usually travel together.I trust my kids. won't say, that I will believe all the bullshit they push at me at times.But I know them well.They are not out of hand.They are not wild and uncontrollable at all. I am the only one that can say something to them, and they comply with it.In their world, I am the boss.Anyway, some relatives have been going behind my back and saying things to my mom to get her to come to me and say things like, I think they should stay home more, and Your kids get away with murder.As I said, my kids do not get into trouble, they are not on the streets, I maintain a nice quiet home life for my children.They have not had a dad in the house in over 11 years.But...my sister has a damn problem because, her daughter is the same age as my daughter and she is complaining to my mom that, oh, she's never home when my daughter comes to visit.....Well, the daughter can text and tell MY kids when she will arrive here where we live, so they will be around...we don't know when homegirl will show up, we can't read damn minds around here.Thing with my sister is. she and I do NOT communicate, and she is jealous of the fact that MY kids do NOT run to her house for comfort because, she is no where near loveable.BUT...she has 3 kids...the oldest, who is a male in the army, comes to me, for everything, advice, love, warmth..everything..her middle child follows her...and the youngest kid she has, who is 18, follows me.And I just think it comes down to her being jealous.But she will NOT bring it to me..my big so called sister is 15 years older than me, and she is afraid to address me on this issue.I think it's complete bullshit.How the hell you gone be the BIG sister, and your afraid of the little sister????What kinda ish is that????????????Also, NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY...in MY family has EVER had to deal with raising 3 kids without a damn DAD in the home...BUT i DID IT..My mom never did it, my sister never did it, no one in my family has ever done it.So, in my mind, I don't think anyone of them need to be offering me advice on ANYTHING I do with MY 3 kids.If they are NOT being abused, I think maybe some of them need to fucking raise up, and leave me the fuck alone about MY kids.The one thing you don't do to me, is come at me about my kids.You been down my road with raising 3 kids alone, and making it?If NOT BACK THE FUCK OFF ME.I am not trying to be mean, I am just stating facts. You ever really sat down and thought that maybe all you've gone through in life, makes you the person you are today? You ever thought maybe God put you in a position just to see if you were strong enough to deal with it? Ever thought about all you've gone through, actually prepares you for your potential mate? What do you think?
