Wondering

Okay, today I could write about two interesting things that have happened out here in the last few days, but Im wondering do I embarrass my son or just talk about my daughter.

Let's just start at the beginning.

On the weekend I ended up bribing E. I know that all the really good parenting books say this is not going to get you anywhere, but they have not met my daughter. You see she is really good at talking, I keep thinking that when God created this small girl, he gave her an extra pair of vocal cords. So this is what I did, I loved my daughter through out the weekend. Heck, I even let her talk to me when I was in the toilet and shower. No moment was private and all my own all weekend. Hence, the bribing that happened. I was sitting there after lunch on Sunday afternoon. The river was running down below and the sun was shining over head when the talking began. By this stage I had truely had enough and so I told her that if she could be quiet for just 30 minutes I would buy her a lovely chocolate. Ah.....silence reined and becuase she still cant tell the time yet, I was able to extend this for a whole hour. Now, Im just hoping that she never learns to tell the time.

I don't know if that made me a bad mother or the thing that happened on Sunday night. J came and see me just before he went to bed. He was looking a little sheepish and said that he had a sore (insert your own word for private part). The long and the short of it, is that he now has an infection. Pills, lotions and the fact that he will have to undergo surgery is just the start of this long and ardious week. The worst part about this, is that the ex just doesn't seem to care. I don't understand this, this is his baby why would he not want to know what was going on in his son's life. But that is a story for another day.
