Step Parents

A couple of weeks ago at Sunday lunch I brought up the subject of step parents as I have a problem at times with how Lucas talks to Blain and I wanted feedback from others to get a picture if I was wrong or being to sensitive about the hole thing. I did feel like I was being attacked and that I was in the wrong for feeling the way I did.

I know that step parents usually have good intentions meaning their hearts are in the right place but I have watched Dr Phil a lot and he always says that step parents shouldn't discipline their step children so I guess that is one reason why I have had a problem with Lucas. Sandra and Dave made a point of letting me know that they thought I was wrong well that is the impression I got.

I would have liked mum to tell me her thoughts on the subject as she was a step child and she may see things differently. However she didn’t get a chance as everyone else seem to cut her off. I was going to ask mum about it later but never got a chance, maybe I will remember to do so at some point but I have a terrible memory lately.

So I will have to learn to deal with my thoughts about step parents and discipline as I said if they love the child they are doing what they think is right and if the natural parent is ok with the step parent disciplining their child then that is what matters not what the grandparent things or feels.

Thin or Happy

I have decided that I would rather be happy then be thin, yes it would be good if I could be both but no matter how hard I try that doesn't seem to be something that is going to happen well no time soon. I know I am a lot bigger then I have ever been before but no matter what I try I can't seem to slim down maybe I am not trying as hard as I could.

I just find that I get down when I feel like I can't eat what I feel like and I know I am exercising n I early every day and lately I am eating a lot of fruit in fact I have never eaten so much fruit as I am now. I
would love to have my sister Sue's body she looks good although she will tell me that is because she can't afford to eat some days not sure how true that is, what I do know that at times I look at her and think why can't I look like that. Then there is Sandra who has always had a good figure, oh well maybe one day right now I think it will do me more good if I just start to think positive and be happy with who I am.

I have to tell myself that my family love me just the way I am.

Not A Hoarder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a hoarder, I do not care what my children say they are wrong keeping things of sentimental value is not hoarding.

I cam home today to find my kids and hubby having a clean out and they had thrown out some things I wanted to keep and when I went through the stuff they had chucked and picked out a few things I didn't want to get rid of.

Right now hubby is going on and on about stuffed toys we have he wants to chuck them out and I said no they are not his and his daughters still want to keep them and I don't care what he says he is not throwing them out.

No matter how much stuff I agree to get rid of we have a clean out 2 or 3 times a year it is never good enough. I am so over hearing them say I am a hoarder. When Kathy watched the show Hoarders she had to admit I am not one but that didn't last as she has gone back to saying it again.

Sydney-May Joanne

On the 22nd my first granddaughter was born at 7.41pm weighing 6lb 5oz's and she is such a cutie.

The only one with Kathy for the birth was bubs dad Chad, I was there earlier but at 6pm Kathy told me to go home as it would be hours before bub would be born and that they would ring me when it was getting closer and I could go back. Well so much for being hours as it was only 1hr and 41min later that Cookie was born.

She has been named Sydney-May Joanne and after much discussion between Kathy and Chad it has been decided to give her Chad's last name.

She looks so much like my niece Temika they really do look like twins.
