The official Status update thread #227. Lets see what 2022 has in store for us

[GRAVES219]

Yep, at the very least, I'm logging in to check email when I'm off (if I'm home). I don't like surprises when I go back.

I should probably do that haha

The boys' father is now saying he wants to take them. I'm like . Susan is having second thoughts. She's talking to her best friend now and she agrees with me.

DD, this is great news!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

DD, this is great news!

It is for me! Now to just get her to agree to it. She thinks he has ulterior motives like getting their mom's Social Security money. I told her, if he's willing to raise them, then he deserves it! I would love to be able to pry my shoulders down from around my ears.

Keep her on the phone with that agree with you. Like her sister that brought the back early.
She will agree soon.

It is a bitter cold and windy 30* here.

It finally hit "I can't stand it" temps here. 17° flt 0°. I really don't like winter anymore.

Good news DD

I agree with you fully on the SS $ too.

That is my hope. I'm hearing Bryson screaming in the living room as I type this. For absolutely no reason.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I think it is. She was only going to put the money in savings accounts for them anyhow, which would also be good, but at this point I don't care. They need to be with their father.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Now she's talking to her dad and he agrees with me too. Hope it all sinks in.

 

[GregD]

Her Dad will be a big help in this .

 

[Jaybird1980]

I agree they need the dad in their life, but he also needs to be a father.
The SS should go to him if he's raising the kids.
I hope it works out the best possible for all of you.
That said I understand her hesitation though, being as he was willing to sign away his rights.

 

[rkwhyte2]

The father may come to realize it's not worth the money but at that point it will be too late.

I agree on all counts. I'm hoping she comes around. Everyone but her seems to think it would be for the best. And not just for our sanity. The father is 20 years younger than us. The boys deserve to have their father around longer than their grandparent/parents.

Exactly.

Well it is looking like we are downsizing. Looked at a property and made a cash offer for the full asking price.

I hope that all goes smooth for you.

 

[target64]

She already called daughter #2 and it looks like they will take a couple of rooms of excess furniture. Some appliances and Knick knacks. The more they take the less I have to pay to be moved.

 

[GRAVES219]

Hope that goes smooth for both of y’all. DD and target
