I didn't have kids. I used to tell myself that it was because I didn't want to mess up my kids like my parents.
Reality is that I had too many abortions while still picking the same guy.
When I was "ready" to have a child, I married an impotent. "I guess the jokes on me" (NIN reference).
Tonight my (step) daughter comes home with her friends to hang out. I came home to find them all in the hot tub (it's 28 outside).
They all are about to get out. I gather robes and wrap them up as they get out. They are trying to gather up their stuff as they get out. I send them all inside as I close up the hot tub and get their things. I walk inside to find them huddled, they are scared to drop water on the floor. Mind you, it is stained concrete and I own 3 large inside dogs.
I tell them to not worry about getting water on the floor, just don't fall.
On a good day, this would be my mother.
I don't want to be sydni's best friend. I do want to always be her biggest cheerleader.
