“So, do you know?”
Me: “Nope. I don’t think so. Who died? Who pg? Who screwed up this time?
“your sister”
Text. From Shari. My other sister..
I took a breath and dialed. I knew what was coming. But I had to hear it.
And, as I guessed, Karen is pregnant --again.
Rachel is 2.
Nathan is 6 months.
Karen is 38.
This makes #5.
(She has two older boys, 19 and 17.)
Who DOES this, in today’s world?
This was an accident. Not the first, mind you.
I know it’s not my life and none of my business. But I can’t help it. I am angry at her. At her irresponsibility.
I understood having Rachel. Wanted to do the baby thing WITH a husband this time. He didn’t have any of his own. So, why not?
And now she complains constantly about what a shitty daddy the hubby is. He’s never home, and when he is he’s on the couch watching sports all weekend long. Takes no part in the care of the kids. She’s basically doing it ALONE. AGAIN.
WHY would she put herself in this position??? Again? How do you let this happen?
And now she can’t decide what to do. She’s only 8 weeks. She could ‘take care’ of it. However, morally, I don’t know that she could go that route. But I think the thought has crossed her mind.
She’s worried that she will hold resentment towards this one. Possibly treat it differently. I doubt that. This girl started a home daycare. I don’t think it’s in her to not love a child.
UGH. Just irks me to no end that she let this happen. Come ON !! You are 38 years old !! “Accidents” aren’t supposed to happen at this age. You KNOW where babies come from. You already have 4. Hello?!! Condom? Spermicide? SOMETHING??? ANYTHING???
I just sit here. Shakin’ my head.
I haven’t been officially told yet. Mom was told yesterday. Be interesting to see how long she waits to tell me. I think she knows I won’t be impressed. I wonder if she’ll wait until I get home in July?
Maybe the situation will be resolved before I get there and there won’t be a need to tell Vicki anything?
Just shakin’ my head.
