Boring is good.
Yesterday went well. Pint seems to be doing okay on the 'cutting off a strip of the patch". I will give it a week and then ut a bigger strip off. Her behavior is good, she is staying on focus, so far.
I had to put up with both Calamity and Nursey yesterday. ARRRGGGHHHH. That's a bit much for anyone!!
Baby was here, a friend of hers and also Baby's BF were here. Really put out to figure out how to feed a bunch of people on only two chicken breasts......
I made Refrigerator wraps. I had milk, Parmesan, wraps, a half bag of broccoli, six pieces of uncooked bacon and two frozen chicken breasts. Homemade Alfredo sauce here we come.
Kids went to be well. I watched Uncle Buck which I haven't seen in years. Then went to bed.
I was going to watch Juno, but Baby and I watched it the other night. I thought it very funny and poignant. I would not let anyone under the age of 18 watch it. EVER. While it doesn't exactly glorify teen age pregnancy, it does make it seem somewhat acceptable. Baby and I talked about how fake the movie was, there really aren't any girls as self possessed as Juno was in the movie at age 15, AND there wasn't ONE TEXT MESSAGE OR CELL PHONE in the whole movie. So then, you KNOW it was a fake LOL.
How boring am I?

I haven't seen it, but if it glorifies teen pregnancy, then it does a disservice to society. I'm convinced, and and I have not every put this into words although it has remained at the edge of my heart for some time, that my daughter was ameniable to the idea of becoming pregnant because of how acceptable it has become in our time. The stigma is pretty much gone, especially among her peers. Single, teen mothers have become a peer group. Some of her friends actually have several children, all born without a meaningful or committed relationship with the fathers. So, I want to stay away from anything that makes attractive the idea of teen pregancy or single motherhood. Instead, they should make a movie about how a teen pregnancy complicates and further impoverishes the lives of the grandparents. Now, I'm not complaining about my sweet little Skylar! Just her silly mother.

I am in agreement. I don't have to worry at all about my youngest wanting children for a very long time. She has seen way to much in her 19 years to want kids.
