So as per my usual Sunday routine, I have to tell step-daughter every step of getting ready for church. You would think at 7 years old that you would start to know the routine. Get up, take a shower, brush your hair, brush your teeth, brush your hair and so on. So while my husband sleeps his drunk off from the night before, I am the one stuck making sure she is ready for when Grama gets her to take her and my son to church. Give me a break..you already know what need to be done, so just do it!! Just for once I would like him to get up and tell her what she needs to do. Heck, she is his kid not mine. But seeing as your husband get drunk the night before it really falls onto you. If I don't make sure she is ready then I am the bad guy. Either way you look at it I am the bad guy, in her eyes I am just being mean and bossy so it is a no win situation!
I Was Watching
The Today Show on NBC 30 this morning and was watching a segment about how the rich are getting richer but the middle class American gets a pay raise and it barely covers the cost of the rising energy costs. I know all about that, I'm not even sure if I fall in the middle class range. I make more that minimum wage but I can tell you if the minimum wage rate keeps rising, they will be making the same as me in a few years. So anyways, they were saying that the rich are so rich they are giving money away. Hey if your rich and want to give away your money, I could use some!!
So I was doing some reading about Bill and Melinda Gates. The have The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As I was reading I was thinking about all the wonderful things they have done with their money. They are truly blessed to be able to help people. Well I as I keep reading, I get to the last few parts of the article to a a paragraph about criticisms. We all know this country still has huge racial problems and something that really plucked a nerve for me was the fact that The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which offers college scholarships, only offer those to African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Pacific Islander American or Hispanic American applicants.[7] Because the program focuses on racial and ethnic minorities. They exclude Caucasians. Now why would you do that?? My family wasn't rich and could never afford for me to go to college either. Now I have a 12 year old son and probably will never be able to afford to send him to college. So if you are middle class you can't get a scholarship and if you are white you can't get a scholarship, so where does that leave things? How many other programs are set up that way? Just because we are a Caucasian family doesn't mean that we are anymore well off than any other family of a different race!

My Son & Porn
Yes your read that correctly!!
I have a 12 year old son who seems to be addicted to pornos. Last night my husband and I watched The Sopranos which our cable company offers OnDemand. When the show was over it shows the list of saved programs. So we see this title of some porno..I was like WTF and asked my husband if he order it. He said no..BUT..he as well loves porn. So I kinda didn't believe my husband because I know most payperview shows are available for 24 hours. It was 11:00 pm...so I thought maybe he ordered it the night before after I went to bed. He said no..bla bla. So I checked the cable bill online this morning and guess what...It was my son!!! He ordered it yesterday at 5:15 pm. That is usually when I am getting home, well yesterday I had to return movies so I wasn't there. So needless to say we finally had to use the parental locks. So now I don' know what to do. This isn't the first time we had this problem and I am sure that he is curious about sex and we talk to him about it. It it is not like we have ignored the fact that he is going through puberty!! So now I feel like I have a little pervert in my house..LOL
Alec Baldwin Voicemail
I read the transcript of the voicemail that Alec Baldwin left for his daughter. I am thinking, could be wrong, that this little girl Ireland must pull this stunt quite often. He sounds so angry to have it be a first incident or even a second. Let me tell you, me as a parent of a 12 year old, I can totally understand how he feels. No, he shouldn't have called her a pig, but maybe this little girl needs to hear things how they really are. I'm sure many of these children have their whole lives sugar-coated and now it is time to face the music. Learn a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Good for you Alec Baldwin, it is about time someone stood up to their rich snot-nosed kid! Children need to learn respect and it is very apparent that this little girl has little or no respect for her father. From the way things sound maybe she learned it from her mother. Question is.. Why did Kim Basinger released this voicemail message? She already has a nasty custody battle and knows he has a bad temper and I guess this is a way to publically humilate him. Kids a pawns...
