I am 38 and mother to 3 boys. Ages 16, 15 and 12years. I work as an in-home carer. My oldest is learning to drive at the moment and he is doing an apprentiship as a brick-layer. My second son has been a challenge this year and did drop out of school. He has recently started a work links programme and is in year 11. My youngest moved in with his father a year ago. He is in high school now and is playing cricket. We see him fortnightly.
I have a wonderful boyfriend. We have been seeing each other for 4 years and share a lot with each other. I live in Perth Western Australia. I have been on Minti for a little while now and thought that I had better update as there are a lot of changes in a year. Teenagers are certainly not easy to raise and I am glad that I found this site as I have got some good advice and don't feel so alone when I get to read others experiences too.
I love Take 5 and That's Life magazines too, for the real stories and there is a great group here to get help with my puzzles especially now I have limited time. Am meeting lovely people and hope to meet some more in the near future. |

Been the usual busy week here for me just working the 8 to 5 sometimes 6 and so had not much time for anything really and clothes hanging everywhere cause it is raining. Generally one night a week my man comes over on a Wednesday to stay over but this week we thought why not go out for one drink after work then I will stay at his place. My kids are both big enough to look after themselves for one night. So I get home, start tea, pack my bags, then after tea say, OK going out, don't wait up, may stay out. My 17 year old says " Where are you going?" "What time you coming back?" I say, I don't know, you have your own car to go to work. You guys don't need me here. He says " I could want so me and mummy time!" The grin is huge. He basically became my dad for a second! LOL Very funny. He could have had his mummy time tonight but no, it is late night shopping for him. Me I am going to bed. One late night is enough for this mum! |

Hi guys! I know I haven't got around to everyone, so all that I have missed have a great day! I tried but time is a factor. My boys are now cooking me breakfast. I bought all the ingredients yesterday, bacon, eggs and english muffins and yoghurt. Kiza said we are just going down the shop, we want orange juice. Him and Mark came back with a big bunch of flowers and a box of choccies too. AWW! I really was not expecting anything. He is very naughty to spend his money on me but so cool. Lucky I cleaned up the breakfast bench last night and the flowers look beautiful up there!
My boys now just cooking me breaky!

On the weekend went out for dinner 2 nights in a row. Spoilt thing I am I know! Why not, I guess. Sunday night was a family dinner to say goodbye to a member going to England for a few weeks and that was fun. Saturday night was the more intimate pub dinner. Can you call that intimate? LOL Yes of course, no kids night for us. It was a family night at the pub though. Heaps of kids running around getting there faces painted and a clown making balloons. She even made me a rose balloon. How cool.
Just been working all week. Today my son took his car over the pits and got the yellow sticker taken off. He only had minor stuff to do so he said it breezed over. They didn't even take it for a drive just looked under it, checked everything had been done, then peeled it off so he was so happy. He rang me up straight away.
Nik wants to quit his course and go to TAFE so we are looking into that. He is looking at a computer course. |

Have only just got home and it was freezing out there. The things we do for our kids hey? The older he gets, the longer his games last. So now the games go for nearly 2 hours since he is in 17s. Gosh it is like the AFL but of course the AFL players make the game look easy in comparison. LOL Oh and they were beaten. Oh well!
Had a nice day today. First day back with the twins and had been saving up some goodies in a bag plus the dollys clothes that I made they liked and dressed there dollies up too. They had a sale on the craft section at red dot. Everything half price and they are already cheap so got lots of goodies and so we were busy all day.
Kiza has gone out with his mates now after the game and so it is Nik and me tonight. He is picking him up tomorrow to go to their dads. Scary that he is out on the town now. Now he has his own money and car all I can do is lecture and hope he does the right thing. He drove off with 3 of his mates and they are staying over one of their houses. He pays me his board though, every week plus 20 which he normally needs to lend by the end of the week. So he still needs to learn how to stretch it. |
