Okay girls, gotta question for all of you busy moms. What do YOU want for Xmas? Santa can bring you anything you want, money is not an issue. Name three things.

The second question is a bonus question - are you done with your Xmas shopping?

Hi Babe,


Do you mind if I ask about STB DSD's condition?

What is STB DSD?


I would guess that it is soon-to-be darling step daughter.

1) To have college expenses paid for for my 2 kids--since my DD(13) wants to be a doctor that will be a big bill--my DS(7) still wants to be a space ranger (astronaut will not do!) so we'll see what happens there--and for myself, I really want to go to Law School but can't afford to do so!


2) To have an guaranteed

Babe and Moon... I think it's great that you guys are so accepting of your SO's disabled children! I know that sounds really callous- if someone would hold a special child against them and not date them because of it... but there ARE people out there, where that is a big deal (and a deal-breaker) and so I simply just demand honesty about it. If you are one of those people who can't handle the fact that a disabled child might live with them well into adulthood... then by all means- SAY so! And if you ARE okay with it, then that's nothing but good. But I do make sure they know that there IS that chance (if it isn't clear already) that the child will be living with them for life.


My MonkeyButt has cerebral palsy and while it isn't a severe case at all... I do still wonder at how self-sufficient he will be. I halfway expect him to just be with me forever... and I halfway expect him to be able to be on his own one day. But I really just don't know. And so I have mentioned that to Hiker at times, just to make sure he knew what I thought. If we are to ever plan a more permanent future together, then that could surely become a factor. So I just make sure he is fully aware of what my thoughts are on it... and he can make his own choices about it. And because we haven't talked about any concrete future plans, we haven't really gotten into it. But so far, he simply seems understanding of that fact. Whether he will be accepting of it (as part of his OWN permanent life), that is something only the future knows.


I just think it's neat that you guys are so accepting.


I think my jaded view is because my ex told me one time, while we were still married,
