When my daughter got pregnant, I was sick yet worked as much as I could. I too have only recieved unemployment once. I've been on full disabilty for about
4 years now. Some doctors say I won't live past 2010... I don't agree with that. Some say my illness is not curable, and that treatment will only
extend my life, not save it. I still don't buy that.
IF you don't see me here after 2010, I lost the battle.
Until then, I'm HERE TO STAY!!!
LMFAO!!

I forgot my point...
my daughter thought I'd be her baby-sitter. I go, "nooooo, I've raised MY kids, you said YOU wanted to keep YOUR baby... I said being a Grandma would be FUN.".... I don't baby-sit like that. I'll do it for special occassions and then she has to have her bathed, fed and ready for "grandma time"... when she's big enough NOT to need ME to help bathe her, she can spend that time with grandma, because she'll be independent enough for "grandma time".
I'll cook for her, of course... I don't take the responsiblity of having "her" foods in my cupboards, that's HER mom's job. When she comes to stay with me for the 4 days in August, I'm prepared to take on those responsibilities... for just 4 days. Should she ever, God forbid, get into drugs and I HAVE to step in, she knows I'm taking custody. I don't play games with my kids. I feel I do them more harm that way than good.
LOTS of people disagree with me.... many of those same people KNOW my kids and end with saying... "you do have good, responsible kids though."
Nobody housed my ass or bought my food. Some helped me by letting me bathe in their homes... when I was old enough to rent, two cousins co-signed for me... they told me IF I messed up, they'd never help me again. When I fell ill in Cali and felt it was time to go home... those same two cousins and their sons came to help me U-haul my asss home. They told me then, not to go further than Cali because they couldn't travel any further than that should I NEED their help again. I only ask for help when I REALLY need it, and that includes help from friends and family too. I try to pay it forward in any way I can.
