Ok well, on to the story. I may have 4 kids by the time September rolls around! First, my cousin Chantel, she is 17 years old and a great kid. She doesnt get in to any major trouble, a good student, respectful and all that good stuff. Her mom, my cousin, is out of control. She is driving Chantel to do something bad! I swear and she thinks shes preventing it.
Typical day in Chantels life. Go to school, come home, go to work for a few hours, make dinner, clean the kitchen, clean the bathroom, do her homework, be in bed by 9pm or shes grounded. WTH? So because her homework is a priority sometimes she will either rush through cleaning the kitchen or not get another chore done and if that happens she gets her phone taken away, which she pays for! She has to do everyones laundry, hers, her moms, dads and 2 brothers. All the boys shirts must be layed out to dry and if they are ruined she has to replace them. I think this is ridiculous. She cleans the whole house just about everyday. Her mom does nothing. SHe makes dinner for the family everyday. I am not exagerating. She is not allowed to visit family, my mom for the weekend, who lives 15 minutes away. She isnt allowed to stay with me on the weekends for tournaments, she works with us. So her mom and her are talking about letting her come to live with me for her Senior year of high school and beyond. There is so much more to this story but it makes me angry talking about it. So thats my story.
Next is my Uncles Grandson who is 4 yrs old. We just found out that he was abducted and abused by the little boys mothers mother, so his grandmother. Im related to the little boys dad, we are cousins. The mom and dad of this poor thing are no where to be found and really dont care much about him. The little boy normally stays with his Grandpa, my uncle. My uncle was thinking about adopting him but its probably not going to happen so we were approached about adopting him and we said yes. We have always wanted to do a foster adoption but never really knew when. What better time than now. The little boy was found and the Grandma in jail, she has several things on her record for child abuse and such so now the little boy is in a foster home. Right now we are trying to get him, but the system is fucked and its not an easy process.
I really have no clue as to how people can treat their children like that or grandchildren. So many people would give all they had to have a child and these people take is for granted. It really sickens and enrages me. I would take in a billion kids if I could.
