I have gotten alot of messages asking about my family, the kids, and how I handle three kids. Well here's an entery to try to answer all of your questions.

I adopted all of my kids. Me and my ex wife sent in papers and 2 months after our divorced i got them. I do not get child support since she wasn't here when they came. I do get a check from the government once a month for $600, I'm guessing it's for being a single parent to three kids, two who aren't from this country.

River, my oldest son. He is 17, born in England. We lived on the same street in Canada when we were growing up. His little sister, Kelianne who is 15. She, also born in England and grew up on the same street. She's daddy's princess and has me wrapped around her little finger, haha. Then there's Joey. He is also 15, born in New York to a family who abused him horribly. He is autistic, adhd, and dyslexic. He acts very young for his age, still has a passy and blankey and stuffed toys.

To keep the house runnnig smoothly I do have alot of rules. I do make sure they eat, since some are picky. I also make them clean their rooms once a week that means sweep, dust, clorox wipe every nomb, handle, ect. They also have to dress at my standards and that may sound mean but that just means no saggy jeans, no low rise jeans, no chest showing excesivly, no nasty, sexual, or bad sayings on shirts. Hair must be clean cut, I can't stand the boys with shaggy hair, pet peeve. Yeah, i know, that sounds horrible and mean and they should be kids but it's so they grow up being responsible and it does keep them out of trouble in shcool. They also have chores. They have basic stuff like loading dish washer, putting laundry in hampers, feeding animals, trash, stuff like that. They also have one other one, I can it a duty to the family. And that is to help take care of your siblings when daddys can't.

Well, I hope I answered most of your questions. If you have anymore just ask me anytime. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, God bless you all.
