I'm not even sure where to start with this...its about my sister and her baby...
This will most likely end up long and in parts, I don't think I can sit and type it all up in one sitting with my RA.
Ok, I have 2 younger sisters, N and M, they are fraternal twins, now almost 23. One of my sisters, N, got involved with an ex-con who was still legally married but seperated from his estranged wife. The husband/wife had 3 (I think) kids together. The guy has 3 other children with different women--so 6 kids with 4 women when my sister N met him. He went back to prison on parole violation, she 'stayed with' him while he was in, when he got out she moved to Los Angeles to be with him. She had a hard time and did many stupid things (but experimental age played a large part-that and she had lived with an ex-boyfriend for over 4 years, so wanted to 'see and experience' things, you know?), she ended up pregnant and moved home. She took good care of herself while pg, took her prenatals, went to the doctor for all her appointments, had her blood taken as scheduled (even though she Hates needles). She was excited, bought baby stuff and prepared for the coming baby. When she went in to have her, she took no pain meds as there was a slight risk to the baby and she's tough and could handle it. =) She ended up having a c-section, and my first neice was born on my husband and I's wedding anniversary. What a gift! Her mom takes very good care of her daughter, K, loves her. She plays with her, teaches her things and all this good stuff. She's a great, nurturing mother. About what our family (that all of us in it love babies and expect such treatment of our next generation, you know?) expects our children to be treated like, and taken care of in this way. She dumped the guy when he tried to come to her house drunk and high to see 'his family'. She told him K was Her baby, not his and sent him packing! That's great, but you thought I had a problem? I do...I was showing you this so you could see a contrast coming up
