It has been a great day with family. My brother-in-law came down with his grandsons, Jesse and Jeremiah. We all gathered at my daughter's home for Sunday dinner. Billy (my brother-in-law) left the boys to visit until Tuesday. My daughter will take them home after they have a visit with their mom. If this sounds a bit confusing, it is. My daughter is currently caring for my nieces three year old girl and Billy has custody of his grandsons, her brothers. My niece seems to be the third generation of mothers who do not raise their children. My mother did not raise my siblings and I. My sister never really raised her children, she left that to their fathers. Now my niece has three and again other people are responsible for their care. My daughter has been troubled by the pattern and has questioned me about past generations and problems they may have had with absentee mothers. The problem is no one is around to ask except my mother and we do not speak. I plan to do some family research and will post any information I uncover in future writings. That does it for now, until next time, Love your children and tell them you do every day!
