My mom had 4 kids, my younger sisters graduated in 2010 (twins) and she was a complete mess for the whole summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBerk Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Daughters prom date just told her that aunt is dying and in hospice (I've known for a week). He might not be able to take her. She is heartbroken. She's already so fragile. I am sick for worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie_dude05 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Maybe KRB can chime in on this one... (You can always trust me to be morbid) What do I need to do now that I have a kid as far as my will goes? How do I define who custody of her goes to if anything happens to me AND her mother (like a plane crash or car accident that she was not involved in)? The idea that she could possibly go to my MIL makes me want to strangle the life out of my MIL just to make sure it couldn't happen Just found this thread... I enjoyed the stories and pics. The wife and I met with an estate/will attorney recently and we were able to spell out exactly what arrangement we wanted in the event of both of our death. In PA at least, the parent gets to make the decision and grandparents don't have any direct rights, specifically that would contridict the parents wishes. We specifically laid out the living arrangements, custody rights and financial wishes should anything happen. We wanted to make sure it wouldn't turn into a battle of the grandparents for time if we both weren't here. Anyways... I have 2 kiddos; a 4 year old girl and a 1 year old boy. Enjoy the heck out of family time with them. We just got back from a week in Disneyworld and they loved it. Both have been fairly relaxed and easy going, only getting upset for the normal tired/ hungry times. My daughter has recently been busting at the seems to help me in the garage. So she sits on my creeper and hands me tools as I need them. All while in a princess gown and wearing a crown. Melts my heart and makes me want to practice my "gun speech" for when she starts dating.

My mother has enough money to try to beat the in-laws over the head in court and I'd rather my kid be raised by my in-laws (or even strangers) than my mother.

subie_dude05 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yup that would pretty much be my concern. My mother has enough money to try to beat the in-laws over the head in court and I'd rather my kid be raised by my in-laws (or even strangers) than my mother. That was exactly our concern. Both parents have enough resources to make it a hellish court battle and I don't want my kids involved in that. Now our wishes are iron clad and can't be changed. It was a very detailed process, I was overwhlemed with all of the choices you have to make but I guess it is better to spell it out ahead of time. We basically had everything but a few personal/family items sold off and the money put up for their future use. Since both parents live the same school district it was easy enough to equally divide time up. As we get older I am sure it will change but for now I feel secure about my wishes being followed.

subie_dude05 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Am I the only father of a daughter who doesnt take the macho approach? it just seems silly and cliche to me. Just my humble opinion I think it honestly depends on the daughter and boyfriend. I have seen instances where either approach works. I think 99% of the time it is a over done process of "cleaning the gun" when they arrive. I do think that a little uncertainly about the fathers ability to wreak havoc is beneficial. You're right in that there are probably much better methods to ensure your daughters safety and security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith40a Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Am I the only father of a daughter who doesnt take the macho approach? it just seems silly and cliche to me. Just my humble opinion I have seen it both ways, My father took the macho approach with my sister and she snuck around behind his back with guys. My father-In law took the laid back approach with my sister in law and she was having sleep overs with guys at 16 in his house. There has to be some happy medium there.

This. the way I look at it, is I do a good enough job parenting, that faux-macho stuff is unecessary. im not taking a jab at anyone, but thats just how i interpret it.
