Pat!
You are right about moving. I wouldn’t stay there either. People can try and try, but when sewer gas starts pumping into the relationship, one person needs to be brave enough to say adios. Eight years is hard to give up. Still, do you want it to be 20 years of constant battles? What does that prove? Do you want to become a dashboard saint?
I was at Cammy’s today. She is doing well. She has the best rock-star boyfriend. He is amazingly good for her. She so wants to have a baby, but she said he told her this: “You don’t have the aura of a mother. I know what it is and you just don’t have it yet. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. Maybe in a month. I don’t know. So no baby yet.” See how smart he is? Cam doesn’t help her cause when she says things like what she said to Holly: “You watch your baby every minute. I would just let the kid take off and do what ever it wants. I’m not chasing it all over the place” Yikes. Cam has a very good heart though, everyone loves her, and someday she will be ready to take on the responsibility of a child, just not yet.
Me? I’d goof up the other way. I want to wear my child. When I get to that point I am going to use you as a good example. Your children aren’t over-fussed or neglected in any way. Say did you see “The Osbournes” on MTV? Damn, Ozzie’s children are insufferable brats. See what overindulgence can do? Yuppies create those kind of children too. I am going to be kind of strict like my dad was. Golden spoons make a person rotty.
Let’s go to lunch this week. Oh, and I am getting rid of a half-closet full of clothes. You want ‘em they are yours!
Love,
ME
Salente! Rock-star boyfriend made a St. Pat’s dinner for all of us! Corned beef!!!!!! Yummmmmmmmm! And he even made dessert…peach cobbler. I’m not into sweets but I was impressed. That’s another thing…if poor Cam had a baby and somehow lost her boyfriend the child would have to grow up on Cheerios. She still refuses to even attempt to feed herself. I wonder why so many of our friends are like that? It scares me. Maybe that’s the real reason her boyfriend said “NO.”
