I love my 9 year old nephew. He's a real sweet boy, but I'm really concerned about him. His mom, my sister, has been a sh!tbag mom to him. She's chosen drugs and guys over him countless times. The boy still wets the bed every single night and sucks his thumb constantly.

My sister keeps blaming some disorder. "Oh he has PTSD." "Oh it's ADHD."

Last summer, I brought him to a Twins game in Minneapolis, which required an overnight stay at my cousin's. He had to share an air mattress with his little sister. I cut off all liquids at 7. I woke him up 3 different times. I explained to him that I wanted to help him, because he gets embarrassed on overnight trips. Guess what? He didn't wet the bed. My sister says she has "tried" this method before, but it NEVER works, and that he needs medication.

Oh and because his 3rd grade teacher "diagnosed" him with ADHD, he needs to be medicated for that too. This kid is so calm when he's with me and well behaved. This is true for everybody except his mom and apparent teacher. His mom never makes him follow through with anything. He struggles with school, because his mom never makes him do his work. I sort of hate my sister over this. She uses excuse after excuse. I'm secretly hoping I can take him over the summer, and try to help break his bad habits that nobody even bats an eye at.

Sam101, I am sorry you nephew all that going on. He is lucky he has a awesome Aunt there for him.

I have 2. I still track every ounce and diaper like I did when we come home from the hospital. I tried to stop and I can't!

The other is I know this girl who is an acquaintance through my other friends and I really don't like her. She has said some crummy things about me and DD and I just cant handle her kind of immaturity. She was at a Bday party I was at with LO and when LO saw her she was really afraid of her and bawled until we walked away from said girl. I thought it was so funny and I gave DD a baby high-5.

Sam, you sound like a great aunt. Your nephew is lucky to have someone like you in his life.

My confession is that I don't feel like giving money for a coworkers baby shower. One because my department is huge and I don't even know her. Second because I'm not going to be here on the day of the shower anyway so I won't get to enjoy the party.

I have one more.

I hate the announcements of certain topics on Facebook. For instance, an old classmate committed suicide 2 days ago. My class was around a hundred people. It's an everybody knows everybody kind of school. Anyhow, five people on my fb made "the announcement". I find it so disrespectful to his family. Some things are better left off of fb.

this is more of an UO...and perhaps testament to the sorry state of my social life, but I am super excited to get together with DH tonight and do our taxes! I seriously love it, maybe I was a CPA in a former life.

I'm also totally over the gun debate via memes on FB

I have gone to the store 3 times this week in my pajama pants... the same ones...

I feel like a jerk for telling my doc that I just wish I wasnt fertile any more (after my pregnancy and mirena drama) and that we were probably done having kids.

I have no plans on raising my son as a man's man. My husband is a huge sports buff and if my son is too, great, but I wont push it. It's not a priority that he has chest hair at 8. If I had a girl though, she would have pink glitter coming out of her ears. I have a total double standard with this.

UO- Camo in ruffles/with sequins/ with pink/ with flowers is freaking hideous.

and have fun with your taxes? I didnt know anyone actually enjoyed this

ETA- Sam, I totally agree. Ive actually seen other people besides family answer how someone died in the comments when asked. People are shameless on facebook
