[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 315916, member: 2459"] Thanks for the input. Yes, trust me....I understand about alcoholism. I grew up in a household saturated by it. I don't think less of SM for this, I get it. But I am saddened that the kids are dealing with some of the same stuff I did growing up. Granted, it's still nowhere near what I saw and went through but it still hoovers. Because of the age difference between me and them, it's almost like they are my kids too and I want better things for them. As for taking them here for a week, I could but it would be cramped. I have a 2 bedroom house that is crammed with stuff, three of us already, two dogs and a cat. Plus, it wouldn't just be the 3 kids. It would be them, a 7 month old and all of the things necessary for a baby. If that wasn't a feasible plan though, I'm pretty sure they all have friends they could stay with if needed. But if it came to it, I could have one or two of them here without much of a problem temporarily. I was up for a long time last night trying to figure things out. I think I'll start first on what I'm going to say to the kids and how to word it so it's not taken as an attack on them or blame for the SM's drinking. Honestly, even if the drinking wasn't an issue, they still need a Gibbs slap to their attitudes. This is going to take some hard thinking and a bit of planning. Yay....and close to the holidays too. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
