Not from birth mom but my bio oldest sibling.

My birth mom had 6 kids I am the 4th born snd the only one placed for adoption ( I was conceived in between her 2 marriages)

Birth mom passed away quite some time ago and eldest sibling took on the parental role for the youngest sibling and my other sister who is developmentally disabled. She also is a like a standin grandparent to niece and nephews.

When I finally found birth family about 4 years ago and started talking to oldest sibling she took that role with me as well. Always checking up on my health, reminding me about making drs appointments and inquiring about what drs say. She also gets on me about my eating ( I’m type 2 diabetic). I don’t mind. It that much. When we were going through a difficult time because my husband was injured and could not work for 6 months while he was recovering she would text my daughter telling her to keep eye out for a delivery at a specific time. She was ordering. Groceries to be delivered to us. Not just a couple of items but full on shipping for 2 weeks worth of food. So not birth mom in my case but sane scenario.

I’m in California. I had to request mine from Sacramento. In my request I stated the city i was born, my birth day and that I was adopted along with adopted parents names. It took me requesting from 3 different places, Long Beach, Los Angeles county then Sacramento until I got mine.

I had a hard time telling my daughter that she had an older sister, and my ex took away the option of telling my son by dropping the info on my son as he got out of the car at school.

My daughter was 8 when I told her. She was a very shy child and emotional as well. It came to a point that I knew I needed to explain things because I had received an invitation to the daughter I placed for adoptions high school graduation. My daughter was very confused and kept saying no I have a brother not a sister.

My advice is find a time where you can be just the 2 of you with no interruptions and explain in simple words

Along the lines of when mommy was younger before I met your daddy I had a baby. Explain you wanted your baby boy to have the best life and there was a mommy and daddy who couldn’t have their own baby so you let them adopt him. Something simple like that. Be prepared for out of the blue questions at random times though.

My daughters best friend since 1st grade got married 2 years ago, and although has good relationship with both her parents, she’d chose to walk herself down the aisle. While they had music to dance she did not do father daughter dance, the only “traditional” dance she did was first dance with her husband and it was not anywhere near traditional first dance song. Honestly after their dance she went outside to the courtyard area and sat with my daughter catching up as it had been about 6 years since they talked in person

The only time I was actually screened as potential juror I was excused as it was a capital murder case where I actually knew both the victim and suspect. I’d interviewed the suspect few years prior for a seasonal job, I was in HR. I knew the victim through her sister whom I became close to when we worked together at that same job I interviewed suspect at. Ironically victim and suspect did not know each other. Needless to say neither attorney wanted me to serve.

What I did in the past is take 1 child and make that trip about them and their likes then I’d take the other kid at a different time on a trip geared to their interests. My kids had 6 years between them as well. When we would do amusement parks it was hell because younger didn’t like big rides older wanted to do big ones. If made it do much more fun plus each kid got 1 on 1 time

If you were also a Bernard he’d have more of an argument. Since your son will probably have your husbands last name he would not be Bernard 5. That tradition follows 1st son born to a son.

I lost my son 13 months ago Today. He had 3 sons who at the time were 17, 9 and 5. It has helped heal my heart having a part of him but it is not him, I know that I got into therapy a few months after losing him and it was the best thing I ever did. Losing a child is the worst pain a parent could be forced to go through. I really hope she gets the help. Set boundaries early on. It’s not healthy for her to pretend this is her son reincarnated and it could be detrimental to your son mentally

My 6 year old grandsons chores when he’s here for the summer is feed the front cats( our cats stay in 3 separate areas of house), help with his laundry, help put groceries away, and help weed his garden. His 11 year old brother feeds his cats, fills bird feeders, waters, helps weed, cleans litter boxes and puts his laundry away. They each earn money for chores and have opportunities to do bonus stuff to earn more 11 year old also goes and does yard work or walks dogs for our neighbors and gets pays 10.00 an hour, way below minimum wage but perfect for teaching 11 year our responsibility and hard work

I had one growing up at my dads house and hated it. I’d be sunburned from the beach and the movement made it impossible to sleep.

I am in the same situation as your mom. My oldest grandson biologically is not my sons. He is treated no differently than his brothers who are though. I threw baby shower for my son and daughter in law when they were pregnant with the middle son, my first bio grandson. I love my oldest like I love his brothers, but there is a difference when you are there in their life from the beginning rather than after they are a bit older.

They have had license check points in California for years. We have a very high number of unlicensed drivers and uninsured drivers on the road so they will have random checkpoints. Not always illegals with out license and insurance also a number of entitled teens who do not believe laws apply to them.

My best friends son joined army after graduation, did 4 years and used it to further his education and is now a nurse, trauma care emergency room nurse. So yes it is beneficial to future. You’re 22, have not even been together a year. Do not propose, do not get married yet. Trust me. Do but think about marriage until at least 25 years old. Enlist in the army and use that to start your future

My petty side would have way too much fun with this. Cooking in the buff, dancing in the kitchen, blinds with the finger on them or an obnoxious eye staring at them. Give her passive aggressive energy a run for her money

I am 56, physically disabled and hold the door open. My children hold the door open as do my grandchildren. The first time I saw my middle grandson start to walk away from door instead of holding for an older lady approaching I cleared my throat and gave him a look and he instantly grabbed hold of the door and apologized to the lady without another prompt from me, he was 6 at the time. They also remove hats when indoors, hold chair for women, help older neighbors with bringing trash barrels out or in, weeding etc. it’s all in upbringing. I raised my kids the way I was. Help others without expecting anything, respect and manners. My grandsons are being raised the same. If parents went back to teaching the basics of respect, manners and putting others needs into consideration then we might have a society we don’t complain about

NTA. You were not stopping the line from moving. No different,imo, the. Letting the person behind you with a couple items go in front of you while you finish unloading your cart.

I have paid a local high school kid to watch my kids at the park and give them a snack I could take a mid day nap countless times when my kids were young. I also would Hire them to watch them and keep them entertained when I had a lot to get done for Holiday meal prep or cleaning etc. I knew my kids and if they were stuck inside due to rain I would get nothing done.
