Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

BrassicWoman · 16 May 2018 at 8:52AM

My friend adopted two wee lads, brothers, whose family were chaotic and couldn't provide well.

They're now doing well in school and talking about college; few bumps upon the way, a lot of boundary testing, but they couldn't be more wanted. And mum and dad, who could not have biological children, have always regarded them in every way as their own.

I am hoping this may also be true for your situation. It can happen, and the lads are having a great start in life.

Time to get moving and go and see my Mum and my Sister while she is over hear from France. They go to my nieces wedding on Saturday and to France together with Mum on Sunday.
Then I will have my Wednesday's free to do my own things for the Summer. It will be strange without Mum and our Ladies that Lunch Times.
When I get back I have sewing to do, so I can keep up with the work coming in to the shop.
Starting is always an effort but once I get going I am usually fine.

Have a happy time with your sister and Mum, Mooloo ((HUGS))

And will likely have more - only a matter of time before DS and partner have yet another one they can't look after either. Contraception doesn't seem to be a priority, or even a concern, for any of Mooloo's children.

That's a bit harsh

Didn't stop long at Mums there was too many people and their newest grandchild was screaming her head off. Poor Mum was slightly stressed as my neice had chosen to invite the beautician around to do her and her mum's nails before Friday's wedding. I thought wedding was Saturday. Oh well
The social worker has changed the meeting time to 9.15 tomorrow so I cannot now go as my lady can't do the shop until the afternoon.
There is a official meeting next Friday with several officials, Biggest has the letter in the post.
So I have text the dreaded GF and told them they need to get their backside back home as Social are visiting them tomorrow.
I also said they need to get a lawyer

I think it is worth you and Biggest and her husband sitting down and thinking about and agreeing the outcome that you want from the meeting before it happens.

It is easy to get bamboozled by others with their own agenda and at the end of a meeting realise that the outcome isn!!!8217;t anywhere close to the end point you want.

Talk with Biggest and her husband tonight.

I have heard back from the GF they are on their way home. She wanted to know why they need a lawyer! I have replied that they are only just starting and that they will not be just getting a slap on the wrist and told to do better, that it will work be many meetings and ciurtcases and they need all the help they can get.

I have been on the phone with a Biggest and I have told her that she needs to give the social worker a deadline to have the boys placed with professional care. That it is too much for her family. That as a family we have to let them go to another family and hopefully get a better future, that I hate to say it but I cannot see them being allowed back to DS etc.
It was a hard conversation but it was needed.

Make sure that GF and DS know that you are not paying for a lawyer, Mooloo! Also let them know that you are opposing the return of the two wee boys to their parents as it will only happen again ..and again.....and again. :-(

They know that I am at the end of my overdraft and no help is forthcoming.
I don't have it so even if I had wanted to I cannot.
I am still struggling to clear the credit card with their debts on.
