Temporary Guardianship

Well, SD22 and SD27 didn't even make it one day. SD22 was supposed to move the rest of her stuff into SD27's place this weekend. Well SD27 lives with her "boyfriend" and they got into a fight this past Friday night, so the boyfriend is kicking SD27 out. SD27 has been cheating on her "boyfriend". The boyfriend told SD22 that she can still rent a room so she and GS3 would have a place to stay and the rent would only be $350 a month. SD27 got upset and said she would disown SD22 if she still moved in, so SD22 isn't moving in.

I told SD22 that she made a STUPID decision. I can understand wanting to be "loyal" to your sister, but your FIRST priority is to make sure you and your son have a place to live. SD22 once again only thought of herself in this decision. Mind you, SD27 already gave up custody of her kids to the other set of grandparents about 5 years ago, and sees her kids MAYBE 5-6 times a year. SD22 was being all nice yesterday so we knew she was gonna ask to stay longer, which she did. We told her no. Then SD22 said she will be couch-hopping (more like bed-hopping) until she can get a place of her own in May, and can we keep GS3 till then. We told her that she would have to sign over temporary guardianship for that to happen.

Much to our dismay, she didn't even fight it like we thought she would. She is supposed to go to DW's job this morning to fill out the form and so they can get it notarized. Then SD22 is to completely move out by this evening. I was just kind of numb all last night because I really didn't think SD22 would go for it. Supposedly it's just until May 1st, but we all know how this is going to end up. We'll be raising that kid for the next 15 years while SD22 gets to run around and have fun. Geez I am only 35 years old...I married DW because all of her kids were grown and I wouldn't have to raise any kids. Fuck, my life is screwed. Sad

Wow, I am so sorry that you got stuck with your GS. That is so unfair for you and your DW. You are right tho, you will end up raising him. Even if your SD gets her stuff together eventually, GS won't want to leave, because you are all he knows. That is just so sad.

This just sounds fishy to me.... don't you find it odd that SD27 and her BF just HAPPENED to have a blow up right when SD22 was supposed to be moving in?? Either way, both of these girls and nothing but trash. Thankfully there are grandparents on both sides who are willing and capable of raising the kids that they so nonchalantly produced but can't be bothered to parent.

I know it totally sucks for you, but Thank God for people like you!!!

I'm sorry you're stuck raising this child, but at least now you know he will be safe and with people who care. Hold your ground and do not let that girl move back in.

Thanks for all the sympathy. I guess the only thing that I can try to hang my hat on is maybe I'll get a chance to break they cycle of everybody in DW's family having a kid before they turn 20.
