That wasn't an option. I was very lucky my Grandma watched her while I went to school. With the situation , I was able to make all my own choices . I was very lucky to have them , they didn't believe in abortion but gave me the right to make my own choice's and did not force me into their beliefs. It wasn't something I would recomend but it all turned out ok.
Everyone is a sinner. It's not what you've done, but what you do to make up for it that counts. If you raise a happy, healthy child, I believe that would more than make up for any prior indiscretions.
My buddy from El Salvador told be about the boogeyman but I can't remember the name. He has a bat and beats you over the head if you don't go to sleep.
No lullabys here (not hispanic either), but my mother used to read to my brother and me after we got into bed for the night. And after we started school, we would read to our parents. I fondly remember those quiet, close times. And my brother and I are both avid readers to this day.
DS would only go to sleep to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" I wish I had a nickel for every time I sang it. :lol: Oh, and I second what nsane said, if I had it to do over (and still get my DS) I would have done it when I was younger. I wasn't that old when I had him, 28, but I might have had time to have more children. Between mother nature and my husbands extremely demanding job, looks like he will be an only.
