Lexie is pregnant. Again. That would be her 6th child at the age of 37. Lois told her dad on Saturday that Lexie and Luther are going to have another child. In normal circumstances I would be very happy for a woman newly pregnant. However in this case, I am in shock and concerned for the impact this will have on the girls.
Lexie was told several pregnancies ago not to have any more kids because of the health risks. Lexie and Luther have been struggling financially for some time now. They own their own construction business and the market is not what is used to be. They were struggling before the economy went downhill. They filed for bankruptcy last year and that didn't seem to help their financial stability. They tend to spend when they get money and are not big on saving. They live well beyond their means.
The girls have now told us they are moving to a smaller house and will have to share a room now. That by itself is fine but then the kicker. They have to share a bed too. The girls are 17 and 15. How could you ask them to do that?
Superman and I drove by the house they plan to rent. No one will convince me that they couldn't find a better house suited for them for a lot less money if you took pride out of the equation. It sits on a hill with absolutely no yard. There will be 6 kids in this house within a short period of time. The house is newly built but apparently having a non-functioning theater room is more important than giving her daughters privacy.
I'm am trying to put things in perspective but sometimes when faced with such hypocrisy it is hard to do. How does a person justify getting the washer and dryer reposed one week and then decide its a good idea to rent all new furniture for the new house the next???
Give me strength not to open my mouth.
