When I got divorced, my sister told me that I was going to ruin my kid's lives and they would be screwed up adults. Well, they aren't. They are all doing fine. On the other hand, here is a report on my sister's kids...
Oldest son- Having an affair with a waitress, wants a divorce from his wife but still wants to control her household. Was putting money in her account to pay household bills each month, since he hasn't actually filed for divorce yet, but this month all her checks bounced because he didn't put it in there and didn't tell her. The waitress is a foul-mouthed hussy, but I guess that's his new type. He has two gorgeous little boys and his wife is so nice.
Middle child-daughter. She has a cookbook out and seems to be prospering in her new career as a cooking celebrity. She has the filthiest house you've ever seen, only cleans it when she knows they will be there to take pictures. Her dad said if the police were ever called out there, they would take her kids. She loves to cook, but never washes a dish. My mom went over and there were dirty dishes in both sinks, covering the counters and stashed in the oven. She also got an order this week for four cookbooks, spent the money and then had her mom pay for them to send. She once ran up eight credit cards, didnt' want to tell her husband, so her mom paid them off. She promptly ran them all up again.
Youngest daughter- Pregnant four times, has two kids, different dads, was not married to either of them. Was married once for two weeks to a guy she met on a plane and got engaged to by mail because they had never spent but two hours together in person. Got involved with a guy recently, but when he switched girlfriends, she harrassed the new girlfriend to the point that the girl filed suit and had her arrested for threatening her and riding circles in her driveway. But it worked out because she started dating the deputy who arrested her, so they dropped the charges saying there was not enough evidence. The new girlfriend called her place of employment to tell them of her arrest, and when her boss asked her about it, she cussed him out and now has a job with a different company. She is a registered nurse and her mom pays her bills because she's always broke.
I never see these people, but my mom gives me updates when she calls. I thank God every day for my poor "divorce-affected messed up" kids who have great lives and BRAINS.

LOL!! She started dating the deputy. This is too trailer park trash to be true. Good stuff!
I know the cooking blog you are talking about. Uh huh, sure do and I can promise you her readers would be appalled to know those little secrets.
Mums the word though. Although it is temping to spread the word that, that certain cooking diva is less than perfect.
Cathy and Amy, both of you know which cooking diva I am referring to. :)
There ain't nothing "diva" about that magnolia!
At Cindy's direction I made her coffee extract! And I am supposed to make her chocolate chip cookies with condensed milk, but now maybe they are soo tasty because there's grime in them.
And dating the deputy is too funny. Unless a person is beating or otherwise truly abusing their kids, people should shut up. It's like saying all gays will go to hell. Once you open your mouth and say something nasty, you can bet it's going to happen to you!
Amy, when my children were little, and I took them to the pediatrician or they got in trouble at school for talking, etc, I always felt like I was under a microscope and had this awful fear someone would find me doing something incorrectly and want to take them away. After awhile, I figured out no one wanted them but me. ha. And I relaxed.
Her dad is a police officer, so I guess that's why he said that. Her recipes are good. They are the same thing I cooked for my kids growing up, same recipes. (Except the coffee extract- that's new).I like that coffee stuff.
I thought you were going to start posting more frequently?!
