Traci, just a thought meant in a positive way, maybe you can take him around to garages in your town to ask if he can wash cars after school or on saterdays?
I agree with Janet, it's no wonder kids are the way they are these days, they are not allowed to be kids like we were, they are forced to grow up fast. So sorry you are having to move to another home, that really is hard. Thinking of you girl - big hugs!!

Traci, I'm so sorry you're going to have to move. We had our son out in the cornfields picking up corn to take to the elevator for money since he was 8 years old. There are a lot of things a 15 year old can do. Mow yards, weed flower beds, clean out shed/garages for people that are older. Run errands for the elderly, what about delivering a paper?
I'll keep you and your family in my prayers Traci.

Our town paper requires you to be able to drive. We have so many people who live far out in the country that you can't deliver a paper without one and our paper doesn't come out until noon so he is in school.As far as yard work, most people here live in aptments and have it done by the landlord or require that you bring your own lawnmower, ect. I had never thought about garages letting him wash cars so I will have to call a few in this area.

I'm sorry that your family is going through this. It's a really hard time to be raising teenagers. You might ask your church if there's some people who could use the help of a teenager and explain your situation. I hope that everything works out.

I am sure that some of you have wondered where I have been. I know mom and Angie posted from time to time about me. I am now divorced. I did get evicted from my home because Damon had charges. (I lived in public housing.) After this my husband talked me into moving to dc closer to his parents where "jobs were better and the kids would get a better education." Well he moved into his parents home and went up there 20 days before I. He was to "find a place for us and get things ready" I had to come up without him having those things done. I drove up and the kids and I stayed in a hotel for 10 days. After the 10 days he told me that he was leaving me and was taking my youngest daughter to Florida to move in with a couple he had met online. Paniced and not knowing what else to do, I brought her back to TN where the kids church gave us a place to stay. He took me to court and won temporary custody because I was unemployed, had a temporary home, and he said the other children are a danger to Sydney. We got our divorce, but I am still fighting for my baby girl. He has just sent motions to the court requesting that I only see her twice a month and supervised by his parents for 4 hours each. He only wants to hurt me and collect the income taxes and child support for our daughter. I just have to prove this in court on the 15th. All of you thoughts being with Sydney, myself as well as the other three children during this would be greatly appectated. I miss you all. I am also on facebook andlog in there quite often for any who wish to add me. My name is now Traci Thomas. How do I change my name on 4wt? Anyone who knows the answer please post it for me. *hugs*

Traci I am sorry to hear this news. I didn't see this post when it was written last year. I have read the threads and I hope that your son has gotten the help he needs with the anger issues..
As far as your divorce I am sorry to hear about that to. All this has happen in the year. I feel for you my friend and I pray for you that your ex returns your daughter to you. She needs to be with you her mom and siblings. I hope that you can convince the judge that when you go to court.. My prayers will be with you. I will look for you on FB, as far as changing your name on here you may have to sign up again under another name I would imagine, maybe one of the other ladies can give you better imput.. Good luck... |

Traci gosh girl... so sorry you are going through all this.
I sure will be thinking of you and your babies, i have been thinking about you lots, wondering what you are doing. Stay strong girl, you can do it. Please PM me you email addy so i can add you to my FB. I dont think they allow name change on here, if you need to... make a new account, but never put you email addy on any open forum as they can be found on google and probably other search engines. Good luck girl, im with you, hugs and more hugs XxX

well, I have went back to court again and nothing has changed as of yet. i have to take the kids to a new counselor and have them evaluated to see if Sydney is "safe" in my home with them.... even though she is in much more danger with her father. I have lost all faith in the justice system.
