I've been a member here for almost two years and it's been a wonderful two years. I've met people here, I've seen some truly beautiful art and I'm sure I'll continue to stick around.
On the other hand, this has never been the community that I've been hangin' around. Just take a look at my previous journal entry, it's rather old, eh?However, a lot of things have been going through my mind lately, especially with my family. It's been a couple of tough and really strange weeks, and for now I'll take you through it.
Please note that this is a true story, this is not an attempt to make some sort of litterature, but rather to get this out of my mind.If you haven't read part 1 of this story, please do so.Fine. I'm slow! Yeah, I should've updated this a bit sooner. But hey, I'm not some immortal person who can pause time.
Now, as the title says, the details is what I'm going to talk a bit about today.
Since some might wonder what this concerning message is about, I'll try to explain it all for you (or whoever that's actually reading). Note that I will write things from
my view. Although, if you wonder about anything, feel free to ask or comment.
As I said in the last entry, the main reason they took them away was because of a concerning message from the kindergarden.
I didn't actually say what the concerning message was, and since one may easily imagine the wrong things happening, I'll do my best to explain in a neutral way.
The list... The children have said during a conversation with their friends that they were very afraid of the garage, because dad usually takes them there at the nights / evenings.
This one is particulary interesting. You know when you were younger? Did you parents ever say "Go to sleep, or we'll... (something)"? If not, ok. If they did, ok. My dad sometimes says when my siblings are being really unconsentrated that if they don't get in bed and sleep, then he'll take them up to the garage and they'll have to sleep there. However, he's never actually done it. Just like your parents (most likely) didn't (if they ever said such). One of the siblings had to help mom watch some clothes by tossing some of her clothes inside the washing machine, because she were using way too much clothing each day, said mom.
That's absolutely true. One day my sibling named Mari started swapping clothes a lot. Now, we're 5 kids (including me) in this house. If each and all of us were to use two pairs of clothes each day, that'd be too much. So, when she started doing that, my dad's wife (their mom) asked her if she could toss some clothes in the washing machine, so that'd she would see how much work there actually is. She stopped swapping clothes so often after that, even though all she did was to take her clothes and toss it in the washing machine. The kids have been locked inside their rooms over several days, they had to be locked inside at the night.
The "reason" is a bit diffrently formulated on the paper we got. So, yes. True as well, though, not as the paper formulates. Now, just before the christmas days last year, we saw something rather strange. One day when we stood up and went downstairs, all the candy in the 5 bowls we had was gone!We took a little peak at the triplets room, and yes, we found a lot of chocolate and candy paper. We talked to them about it, blah blah, but the next night, some of the tools at the kitchen had been moved around a bit. Also, the oven was actually on! It was luckily on the lowest "heat", so it wasn't that hot. Therefore we started locking their doors when we went to bed (around midnight) and we unlocked it as soon as we woke up. They had this pot / jug which they had if they wanted to pee. It was big and made for peeing, so we didn't toss a big box if that's what your imagination is thinking. This lasted for 4 days, which we stopped locking the door, and since then we've never had this problem. I'm glad we haven't as I'd really not like to see this house burn down.
Those are the main reasons. Also, they base it on previous things like "they weren't interested in co-operating", "problems communicating with the parents" and such on. The fun part here is that we have been communicating and been interested in co-operating. Two years ago we even asked for help, because my dad's wife got some problems with her back. We didn't get help. Fun, right?
The last thing I'm going to write now, well, that's the simple fact that each time they've contacted us about "supervising" and looking over the situation in the house we've said yes,
as long as the ones that would be supervising had experience and knew what they were doing.
Note to you that's reading this. There's a lot of grammar mistakes here, probably quite a few. There's also some words that might be easy to take in a wrong direction. If there are any words that make you unsure what I mean, seriously, instead of making your own - ask me. I'd really love to just talk about this. That's pretty much the only thing I can do.
End of present tense, part 2.Extra note: The next part will be about what's happend from part 1 to the present. Though, not everything. I'll probably have to write quite a few parts to get this done.
Expect part 3 to come rather soon.Even if I don't know you, and you're reading this.. If there's anything that you find unclear,
please comment and I'll answer you the best way I can.Thanks.
