Gonna prolly be a Dad @ 57 Posted By: cmerc On: 11-02-2009 @ 10:16:13 Reply | Edit No my wife is not expecting, but it looks like I might inherit two kids, a 13 yearold boy, and a 5 year old girl. So much for retirement. NICK (oneowner), I HATE YOU! you lucky dog! -- 
Posted By: Tyrel On: 11-02-2009 @ 10:29:03 Reply | Top | Edit woah woah woah, don't they have laws down there protecting children from people like you? Seriously though, good on ya. I don't know the situation but you will be a positive influence in some kids that probably need it. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. " You're doing something, good job. --  Posted By: GOATS2QUICK On: 11-02-2009 @ 10:35:35 Reply | Top | Edit i thought u used protection

Posted By: cmerc On: 11-02-2009 @ 14:05:38 Reply | Top | Edit Let’s see if I can be brief, and also don’t get too angry, but maybe it'll give some insight as to why I feel like I do about people living outside their ability to pay for. Last year my Wife’s Mom (who I loved dearly) died of lung cancer, all the burden fell on us my wife had a brother and 2 sisters, although only the youngest lived in Nassau. The youngest sister’s husband is the most selfish person you could ever imagine then times it by a million. Well last October the youngest sister died of breast cancer totally unexpected. All the burden of her funeral fell on us, worthless husband basically did nothing, we even had to loan him $10k for the funeral. She left these two kids, she also left a small sum of money het the husband couldn’t get his hands on, and he was to pay us back, when he got it! Well he informed my wife he had spent the money, and couldn’t pay us back. this would be prolly the fifth time he has taken advantage of us in some fashion, ah I have just figured how to tell you guys just how little I think of him, I would rather help Obama than help him, and I am serious about that. Interestingly while my Mom in Law was being treated for lung cancer, this guy would not stop smoking in the house. My wife and I have been taking the kids generally every second weekend to our house. Welllllll sad to say, he has just been diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, has a new mortgage, and no money, and in all lightly hood wont be around too much longer, so thanks to people who don’t plan their lives beyond the next day, at retirement age, I am gonna have 2 kids to raise, morally and financially. It's really hard to agree to help this guy again, and not to hate him, but I wouldn’t be much of a Christian if I did otherwise. So, that’s the abridged story --
Posted By: ChimpysZ28 On: 11-02-2009 @ 14:18:07 Reply | Top | Edit you know for some reason i think you would be a awesome dad. --  Posted By: 4Birdman On: 11-02-2009 @ 14:20:46 Reply | Top | Edit You are a good man. My dad and I were talking about this the other night. My cousin has a foster kid that is about to be adopted by his aunt and uncle, so we got into the conversation. It would be hard to do, but I wouldn't think twice about taking in my sister or sister-in-law's children. They had no choice in who their dad is, and they are family above all. No matter what, my family would be kept together rather than having them sent to foster care or some other adoptive family. Good job, you have much respect from me.  --

Posted By: PongoX11 On: 11-02-2009 @ 14:33:13 Reply | Top | Edit 57 huh? +/- 10? (I'm betting on the +) Yikes on the situation though. Nice of you to step up, but you must also be mindful of #1. Whats up with the other relatives? Anyone else in a position to take them? Maybe someone who still has younger kids? --  Posted By: cmerc On: 11-02-2009 @ 14:51:19 Reply | Top | Edit unfortunatly no, his sister lives in one of the Islands and has a special needs child, and no finances, my wife has a sister and brother both of which also live in the islands (great for summer vacations though) and if it comes to this we have to be cautious that the kids dont get the feeling that they are just passed around from one person to the next, which could have God knows what kind of effect on their mental health. I wish, but it just aint to be, my faith makes me believe that God has a purpose for this, which is much comfort to me. However to add a lil humor to this, I quote from the movie Gladiator; Maximus to Proximo: or: Pongo to Cmerc:-"Are you in danger of becoming a good man?" --

My aunt and uncle had to adopt their grandchild to get him away from his worthless parents, and even though they are both older than you, I don't think they would make a different choice. --
