Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. I totally understand. How's it been going? How was your Halloween? Did you dress up Ty as anything? How's school been going for you?
I'm fine, I guess. I hate where I live right now, and I all I really want to do is go back home. And I am, but I've got to wait till the school year is over, so I've got about seven more months left, six when October is through with. Where I live is stupid, and if not, close to being hell. And you? How's Ty?
Well, yes, what she said is true, but you should do what you really want to do. Here's how I see it: If you have a job that you hate, then it really is work, but if you have a job that you love, then it never will be work.
Oh . . . okay. I just learned something new. I want to be a medical examiner, and maybe, hopefully, a writer. But I'm definitely becoming a medical examiner.
Yeah, well I don't plan on getting married. Marriage and I wouldn't mix. I plan on pretty much be career oriented. I'd like to have kids. But I don't know what's going to happen in my future.
Wow, you really did get lucky. And that's not bad hours at all. I love kids, but them not sleeping through the whole night would probably be a problem for me, because once I'm asleep, I go to sleep. My family likes to say that I could sleep through a natural disaster and not know any difference.
You went through five years of foster care? Wow. He's mellow? I guess you got lucky there, many babies aren't. Do you actually get a full night's sleep, or is he nocturnal? I'm telling you, he's absolutely adorable!
Once again, good for you! And that was so right what you did. I think that for any child, adoption and the whole foster thing is a really tough deal. It just seems to me, when you're jumping from foster care to foster care, a kid has to grow up a lot faster, become a lot tougher, and never get to experience being a kid. Never doubt if you did the right thing or not, because you did. So how is he? And what I mean by that is he a calm baby, or not? What's his personality?
Good for you! They will have to just deal with it because he's your son. If you don't mind me asking, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but why did his mom decide not to be apart of his life, but yet you did? You're taking care of him, you're being his dad and mom. Do you have any idea how amazing I think that is? I think it's amazing for anyone to do that, but you doing that at such a young age? You're going to be a great dad.
How do you think they'll take it when you finally tell them? And yeah, it does sound kind of nice not having your parents around to breathe down your neck, but I think after a while I'd start to miss mine. Or at least my mom.
Oh, really? What did your brother do when he found out that you were going to be a dad? And your parents? And they moved to France? Wow, that's really far away. I bet that's got to be hard.
Oh, I'm so sorry. So it's just you and your parents taking care of him? And you only being thirteen? I don't know you, but I think you're a decent person. Even though you made a mistake, you stepped up, and you chose to take responsibility for your child. That's good; and with that type of attitude, I doubt that he'll ever have to go a day without knowing how much you love him.
Wow . . . Your for serious about being thirteen and having a son? You're right, no one is perfect. Anyways, he's really adorable. Who does he look like the most, you or the mom?
