Pregnancy & Parenting - 17 September 2007

My 2 year old no longer takes an afternoon nap, and then crashes around 5 or 6 pm for about 30 minutes to one hour. I try to wear him out by taking him to the park or letting him play in the backyard, but he won't go to sleep. I don't want it to turn into a power struggle, but I really want him to take a nap wile his 1 year old sister does. Otherwise, I'm a 'prisoner' :) at home alomost everyday from noon to 7pm.

So far this week my lovely daughter of 17 has told me me that she hopes my house burns down with me in it, and since she pays for her phone and the minutes she puts on it she can talk to whom ever she wants, which included the 'guy' that gave her a black eye a busted lip and a long scratch on her face alone with a broken front door and broke lights in my kitchen that I HAVE TO PAY FOR!!!.. (yes, I have called the cops on him and am pressing charges.)

The other day while we are at her P.O. office she proceeds to tell her po about the F*CHED up childhood she has had...

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!! I look at her and ask about this and what was so F*CHED UP about it... ? NOTHING... She can't even come up with a a lie to go alone with this..

And people wonder why I want to sit on her head and punch her head into the carpet..

Ungreatful, pain in my A$$. God knows I love her to death but It may her death and not mine..

I can't try for a baby until a yet to be decided month next year. I feel so naked without a pregnant belly and totally left out of all the conversations! How do I still be around my friends without wishing I was pregnant with them?

My biological mother married an abusive man when I was 3 years old. A year later I was in foster care. She chose her husband over her 4-year-old first-born daughter.
I have never maintained a relationship with this woman. She was told by her parents, my grandparents, when I had my children and never made contact. But never contacted us in anyway.
Two years have past since the birth of my Twin boys where born and we have never received a card or phone call from her.
Today I received a phone call from my grandparents, asking if my biological mother & my two half brothers could come up to my house and stay for a couple of days. Met my family. Apparently she is going through a tough time at the moment with a divorce, blah blah blah.
I do NOT want her any where near my family & I –FULL STOP!!
I feel she couldn’t raise me so why should she think about seeing my babies??
Am I justified in denying her right to see my children??
SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
