And yesterday I woke up at 6:30am to go to church, Posted Imagesolo I needed that blessing and didnt want anything to stand in my way so I left the kids at home with him.

He asked me when I was getting dressed (where you going) I said (Church) he said well let me talk to you before you go


he apologized like never before and said he understands that all this started because of him :crying:

That is so true,

well so much has went on with my life this past weekend yall I just confused, but I had decided my hubby and I need to separate.

He did the ultimate Sunday. Im so shocked

Maybe with out me he will realize, that I am needed or he will realize, that he can live life with out me.

I am very indepenedent, and with God's help, because my help cometh from HIM. I will be ok.

Please guys dont post anything on my FB, this is a private matter, but I wanted yall to know because you have help me so much, but now it is time for my hubby to change or loose his family.



Love you all (L)



I understand more then you will ever know.

Sorry, JQ. Take care of you!

Love you.

No they are strictly requesting DNA testing. So we will either be relieved or shocked. But either way we are still that child's parents. Only bad thing is that she won't be able to come over to the states to live with us, prob until she is older, I am guessing. I haven't done much research yet.Just be down myself. Hurt a little. Hurting for Eric cause his mind is all over the place.



I see Sus already said it. I looked into adoption of my orphaned nephew. There is a way to adopt. If both parents alive, there are additional hoops to jump through. But, it is possible.

Hi Yardies! Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. I know some of you on facebook already know this but I started my own savings blog. If you want to check it out it go to countrysavingmommy.com and it is also on Facebook just push the like button if you want to be a fan. I have learned how to score $1 purses for my mother inlaw and cheap clothes (as low as 10 cents)! Plus more so I don't have to spend an arm and a leg visiting inlaws and friends. Best Wishes to all and Happy 3 day weekend. One Luv, Jax! :)


Oh how cute! :) hehe


Hows the sweet baby girl, BM?

Finesse, the girls are so beautiful!

Mo - I have been watching the hurricane forecast too - looks like it will mash up the Museum for Friday :( But at least I still have Roseland Ballroom!

JQ - I agree with the others - You need to just stop doing things - Let him figure it out when he's hungry, has no clean clothes, etc... - after a while of this, he'll start to get the hint and then is the time to have the heart to heart - Not now when you are doing it all and he's not grasping the full concept of what you do. Your priority right now needs to be you and the baby, and he needs to do his part.


I agree with ALL of you; but..........big BUT......you all are kind of missing the point. Her priorities are THE KIDS. He can cook and do laundry. But, what she really needs help with are the kids. He has to step up in ALL aspects of the family. She needs so much help right now. Yeah, maybe after the pregnancy she can pick up some of her old chores. He needs to think about everyone involved and not just himself.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaYardie Party!!! Come as you are - Part 1

Hey yall,


I'm still overwhelmed and its not getting any easier.

Yesterday when I got home I started making dinner my usual routine, and when my hubby got home he just took off his clothes and went to bed. I went into the room and said, "I sure wish I could just relax after I get in. But I had these kids since 6 am."

He tells me: "Who told you to have them since 6 am"
Me: wait a minute, your daughter couldn't go to the school around the corner remember, because she couldn't pass the test, so I had to put her in the school by my job, all day kinder, which means when I take you to work in the morning at 6am, the kids are with me until I drop them off at school.

He just lays down and doesn't say anything and goes to sleep. Sleeps until about 11:30 pm and wakes up looking for dinner. Eats dinner goes on the computer and goes to sleep.
Wakes up this morning doesn't say anything to me, doesn't help get any of the kids up, and tells me at 6:30 to drop him off at his friends house around the corner so he can get a ride to work.
No fckn convo since that smart sht yesterday afternoon.
I had a talk to him on Sunday letting him know our relationship so up and down it aint gone work. He don't help he just do what he do and expect since his mom did everything that that's a womans job. Maybe that's a womans job if she don't work. Beacsue she has never had a job. If I didn't work I could clean and cook and shop and take on all the responsibilities as a house wife, and not look to him for support, but since Im bringing in as much money as him I feel it should be split. And danmn it im pregnant where is my sympathy.
Then he had the nerve to say, we can barely make it with 3 how we gonna make it with 4 (OMG yall I blew up and told him sht him and his daughter and this newborn can make it back in Jamaica with his momma, if he chooses so) He claims he will try to make it better gave me a hug and was acting different for the rest of that day. But they next day it ack to the same oh him.

Well I told his azz next week make sure you take off work because Im switching all these kids to the school by the house. I cant keep leaving work in the morning and the afternoon, to take these kids.

Update: So the baby took the test at the new school with the all day kinder and she passed it ( maybe because my husband was with her and he don't play with her) but they put her in 1st grade. And the work that she is doing right now in the first grade she understand we just gotta work with her to learn how to sound words out.

So Im switch her to the school by my house, well my hubby is because Im tired of going in circles for this little girl. I had to take off 8 hrs last week and don't have no more vacation due to the JA trip. Im taking off to switch my boys but he gonna have to switch her and take the test scores from the school showing she passed the test.


This is a lot of drama!!!!


I love all your adivce and keep it coming but if anybody wants to talk negative, because im sure it is coming, write it then delete it because I don't need any one talking about how perfect their life is and telling me mine is shtty, just keep it positive and try to help in a nice way or be prepare to get cussed out!!!! Cause everyone has problems and Im trying to share mine with my true VJ sisters on here. To get healthy advice(L)

JQ Smiley Boom


Sweetie, all I really have to say is that's exactly what happened to me. Not only did I get tired of doing every damn thing, I got tired of feeling alone. You know the ending to my story.

He's got to step up. You can talk till you are blue in the face; but if he doesn't want to step up and then actually DO IT, it's not going to work.

You have to be a partnership.

I wish you the very best of luck. I'm sorry. Hugs, my friend.

Love it Finesse! Thanks so much. I was feeling guilty, but you made me feel much better. You are exactly right , the more you say yes the more they will ask. If it was a one time emergency then that would be one thing, but I know it would lead to all the time, which is why I didn't even want to start it.

JaEng- I would love to do to a photo shoot with you. You do beautiful work.

JG- it has been sloooow in here. When I have time to catch up and post a lot then you know the chatters are M.I.A. Congrats again on your job!

Sugar- Wow you just made it in time before that rude hurricane is coming through. Congrats and can't wait to see pics!!! I still can't believe that the island lost power for a year. Yikes!



A phone is NEVER an emergency. There is always someone else's to use. Food, shelter, school, shoes.....maybe in certain circumstances. Phones, cars, electronics....I think not.

We went and played bingo last night. I though....hmmmmm, I should call Dillon one of these times. I need someone else to talk to cause he starts counting down at like 6. If I hear, I'm down to 6, I'm down to 5, etc. one more time I may smack him.

Oh I see. You know first hand what it's like. I see where he gets his brains from. I've just heard people say for maturity reasons they don't want their kids to skip, so I was just curious if that was your reasoning too. That's good he learned his lesson. I'm still excited Moy Moy gets to go all day now. That is great!

Ok everyone (or anyone that wants to give their 2 cents), how do you deal with hubby's friends back in JA asking for things? He has one friend that has already asked for a new phone and $100. He asked hubby for the phone and hubby just ignored him (it was visa FB he asked), then he just asked be tonight if I could send $100 and just keep it between him and I. Vaughn has a big family and none of them have even asked for anything, so I think this friend is out of line. I'm happy to help anyone that is important to my husband but I just feel he is thinking I have an endless supply of cash. What makes it hard is that he sees our pictures on FB going to all these places, so how do I say no? I told I can't because hubby and I aren't working this year and are just spending time together before we get serious about work and kids. I'm thinking that he's thinking we aren't just sitting at home so if we have money to go places then why not for him? I'm sure some of you have encounted this before and just would like to know how you handled it.



I just said NO. I don't have it. He's not working and money is tight. You will encounter that ####### over and over again.

Honest, it pissed me off to no end.

wow....always so much to reply to. I can't keep up. I installed my computer on BFs new internet so I can at least go over there now when I can't get on firehouse computer. No more internet at work for me. Frown. But, at least I can now say I HAVE A JOB!

For those of you who don't follow FB (um....Finesse!) I finally have a job. After 12 long weeks of exhaustive trying, I ended up getting 2 job offers last week. Had to quit one before I even started. I start work in a doctor's office Sept. 7th. Back to what I used to do like 4 jobs ago. It's scary and exciting all the same. Just being back to work makes me very happy. So, I'm enjoying my last days off and working on that killer tan I got this year. Sort of feel like a teacher having all summer off. A girl could get used to it IF I got paid to be off.

JQ, I agree....it's better to keep the child back and get some good groundwork on the education, then rush along. It's hard enough to adjust without the added pressure. They can always move up a grade in future years if it merits. I feel you though. Keep up the good work. There are plenty of resources out there for you to use.

Dillon............I read a night out and didn't receive a phone call or text so I feel very dissed right now. Cheating on me?

Congrats on the job JG and welcome back. You were missed :)

Hi Just.. how are things going with your son?



Don't even get me started on him. That boy is going to die by my hands one day soon.

He started college last week. He ended up making it to class on time 2 of the 5 days. Traffic he says. How many times do I have to say just leave 15 mins earlier?

8we met on mackinac island michigan

so polite at the club, he walked my bike up the huge azz hill by our houses.
he came over the next day and we didnt spend one day apart for 6 months
(until his work visa expired)

we loved/ we fought
we laughed and cooked
we made our lives mesh

i knew i was in love when i came home from work and he cleaned the whole apt, made me dinner and washed and folded my clothes!
i knew i was in love when he just gave me a hug when i was crying at something stupid on tv- even though i knew deep down he thought i was nuts!
i knew i was in love when he told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, but didnt want to get married just so he didnt have to leave america......
i knew i was in love when he wrote me a birthday poem and rapped it to me upon my awaking in the morning

i love him- nobody will ever be able to take that away


Knowing him, I can imagine all this. He's special, A. Don't let that go.

P.S. You better invite us to the wedding. We'll fly up!

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaYardies - How did you meet your SO?
I met Andre on my 3rd trip to Jamaica. I was seeing someone else who I now lovingly refer to as Jacka$$. I saw and/or met up with Andre and some other friends on 4 subsequent trips and talked to him and his friend, Richard, on the phone about once every week or two. In October of that year, I kind of got the ultimatum from Richard that I had to either date Andre or let him go cause I was breaking his heart. In November, I made my choice and went to see him.

The rest is history. We filed for the K-1 a year and a couple months later. Next month, we will be married 2.5 years.

The thing about what you said, Gill, it comes and goes. When some others went through before and around me, the K-1 was the quicker/better way to go. Now, it has kind of switched gears. From what I am getting, it goes in cycles like that all the time. You can never count on anything.

Maybe you will get lucky Tre. I am hoping and praying for you!

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)FRANCE: Gardasil/HPV vaccin required???
I was wondering the same thing, Faustine, thank you everybody for your answers.

I'd like to add one thing: I remember reading on the UK forum that it is required for AOS (then it's strange that it is not on the list Anna C. provided), and they said that only the first shot is required.
It might or might not be required, but in case it would be, that won't be an additional 6 months delay.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)French birth certificate, translations and apostille
Thanks for the info.
I'm in France and we filed for a K1 visa; once the US government approves our petition, it will go through the US embassy in Paris.

Did you need an apostille for anything in the USA?
Cecile and BryanFemaleFrance2008-04-05 02:53:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)French birth certificate, translations and apostille
Hello, this is a question for French people:

I know the birth certificate will be required for the K1 interview at the embassy, then for AOS, and for the publication des bans (though I doubt they need a translation!) and I might need it in order to get the marriage license, and probably the driver's license.

AOS / marriage license / driver's license will need a translation. Do I need a translation for the K1 interview too?

How did you do to get your birth certificate translated? Did you do it yourself, did a friend of yours do it for you, did you use the "plurilingual birth certificate" delivered by the city hall (and could it be used in the USA?!), did you use the services of a French or American "translation company"?

And do we need an "apostille" on it? What is it exactly and where can I get it done?

Moreover, the birth certificate the French government gives us is only good for 3 months. Does the US goverment care? Do we need a new one everytime we want to apply for something?

Sorry, I know that's a lot of questions, but even if you can only answer one, I'll still be very thankful!

Yes we already checked with the DMV in Missouri, they said I can use it for a while (don't remember exactly how long, but I have the email somewhere, i'm just too lazy to check right now...). But I'll definitely try to find more and more info about that before to try to drive with it. Just in case the police wouldn't agree with the DMV ^^

Hi Cécile!

I don't know about getting an IDL in travel agencies, but I did get mine years ago in my "prefecture". I went over there, you give them your French DL and 2 pictures(who can be taken at the prefecture), and 15 mns later, a lady gave me my IDL.
I don't remenber paying anything at that time.
Hope I helped.


Thank you. I'll probably go there and ask them (hopefully it doesn't have to be at the prefecture that delivered me my DL years ago...)

QUOTE (JeroenAndMichelle @ Apr 17 2008, 08:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I could be wrong since I am not French myself but shouldn't you also be able to get an IDL at the ASFA? I got mine at the Dutch equivalant of that and I know people can get them at the Triple A in the US as well.

It's an officially translated document which also holds your picture and stuff so I guess it is not very likely to be sold at travel agencies.


So you're saying it is something official. That makes more sense to me.

QUOTE (Nich-Nick @ Apr 16 2008, 09:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Are you the US citizen and you just want to drive in France on a visit? We drove around the continent of Europe and that was one of the requirements we read about in our research. I got one at the AAA (American Automobile Association) office in Houston. I think it's basically a companion document for your US license and translates it into a lot of different languages. It's good for a year. Find a AAA near you and take 2 passport photos. They put a photo in the document and stamp it. There's probably a form you can download and fill in ahead of time. It only cost $10-$15. If you're already in France, then I don't know.


Oops sorry I forgot to say that I'm French and I need an international DL to be able to drive when I arrive in the USA with my K1 visa, since I can't get a Missouri DL as soon as I get there.

QUOTE (fwaguy)
IDL is nothing more than a translation booklet of your current driving license and they are "issued" typically by travel agencies...


Oh really? travel agencies? I thought that it would be kind of an official document... not as official as a normal DL, but I didn't think travel agencies could give me one!
