Parenting-N-Families

Married a man that had become widowed the same week/year that I was 8 yrs ago. We love each other, are happy and I’ve adopted the 2 yr old that is now 11. 20 yr old is like a son to me.

There are a total of 4 kids (all were his). The two oldest kids are now married and have kids. After years of struggling and working hard to create a family atmosphere and to develop relationships, the eldest son says I’m not welcome in their home. I’ve apologized & tried to make ammends regardless of how much I…

Any ideas for family activities that an 11 month old might enjoy? I’ve thought about taking her to the zoo, but I’m not quite sure if she’ll enjoy it yet. Thoughts?
Also, any ideas for her 1st birthday? My family lives far away and my hubby’s family will be on vacation during her birthday, so we can’t really have much of a party. I know she’s young, but I’d still like to do something special for the big day.

how their day never ends ? True babies are a lot of work, but they wont stay 6 months old forever and the times where women have 9 babies are over.
So why the complaining seen as how work will get less and less and less over time, while hubby will have to work 7 30 to 5 30 untill he is 5 years away from being dead.

I already have a child from previous relationship. I want my own from my husband. There are people who can’t have kids and they adopt but my parts are in perfect working order I have the proof and hubby is in perfect working oreder too. His reasoning for adoption is he already loves my daughter as his own what would the differance be if we adopt. I have the long to feel the baby in side me not from someone else. It is very frustrating. I didn’t explain it fully the first time I asked.

my hubby and i have been married for almost 7 months, we were going through a LONG battle with my sons dad, for child support and visitions and ext….well he finally agreed to sign over his rights so my hubby could finally after 3 years adopt my son, i know the usualy time is 1 year but can it be less than that?

we are going to get the kids bikes for Easter. I never got toys for Easter so I think its a little much but the hubby feels the need to spoil them whenever he gets the chance!
