My Children

Tweet

I thought I would introduce my family to you. I have three children - Aaron is my oldest, Shiloh is next, and Edgar is my youngest. I've mentioned my oldest in a couple comments lately, so I thought I would tell you about my children in hopefully a good light since I do love them all very much and I would do almost anything for them. Aaron is ADHD. From the time he was born I needed to be steps ahead of him or my day was a disaster. He had learning problems as well as being hyper. He couldn't and can't sit still for very long unless it's something he is really interested in. Cars is his main love. He's taught himself a lot about cars. He works with a couple temp agencies in Green Bay and one sent him on the job opportunity of a lifetime a couple weeks ago. It was only supposed to be one day, but he's still working with the shop and as you can imagine, totally loves it. He's talking about getting his GED and then going on to become ACE certified. One thing about Aaron is his anger issues. Because of his absolute need to be in complete control at all times, he has anger issues when things don't go his way. As a result of his anger issues I needed to put him on a restraining order on several occasions. The last one expired a year ago, and since then things have been better, but there is no way we can be under the same roof for any length of time - him living with me. We tried that a couple times and the last time resulted in a four year restraining order. Therefore right now he is in a homeless shelter because he has no other place to live, and quite frankly I don't want to put another restraining order on him if he gets out of hand with his anger. Aaron is also an intelligent young man. He is the only one holding him back from his full potential. Aaron had/has a daughter, but due to issues between he and his ex-fiancee his daughter was taken from him and has since been adopted. Shiloh is my daughter. She has a strong head on her shoulders. She got into her share of trouble as a child, but has since turned her life around. Compared to her brother, she is more sedate and even tempered. She isn't afraid to call the kettle black. She married three years ago to a wonderful man. She has three children, and is now a two time grandmother. Yes, that makes me a great grandmother. Shiloh has her bachelors degree in business and intends to go on to getting her masters degree. We've had our issues in the past, and our relationship broke down, but fences are being mended. She's talking to me more and even calling me with suggestions as one post showed. Currently she has three jobs - insurance agent, working with the bell ringers at Salvation Army, and does Pure Romance parties. Edgar is my youngest. His first name is Harold, but since that was his father's name and it brought confusion when he was a baby, he's Edgar - his middle name. He has been living with me for six years I think. Jon was 14 when they moved in and he's 20 now, so yes, six years. Had to figure that out. Jon moved out when he turned 18. He didn't like living with me and my rules. Edgar also has a strong head on his shoulders. He has also been my emotional support on occasion. He is a gamer when he isn't working at McDonald's or sleeping. So I've gotten to know the gaming world since he moved in. I don't play his games and my one time try at using a controller is a joke. My son bought me Sims 1 for the XBox and I couldn't get the hang of it. She always burned the house down before I could do anything to stop it. So if I play games, and I do, they are computer games. Edgar is currently enrolled in college and intends to become a Forensic something in the Police Science program. However, right after he enrolled in the program, it was terminated from the college and the only thing he can do is take the gen ed classes. He wants to move to San Francisco where he said they have the best program for Forensic Science. His son is Jonathon. There is a brief picture of my children. I've felt the need to explain since I've mentioned in a couple comments that Aaron is in a homeless shelter. I've shown pictures of them in the past. Unfortunately those pictures are on the desktop and I don't have access to them at the moment. Thanks for reading.
