of course leigh anne! my son hasnt had a friend for a sleepover since my boyfriend and i moved in together last year. im almost hesitant to tell his friends parents that were getting engaged because im so disgusted with their behavior and backhanded remarks im fine if i never saw them again! case in point, on new years eve for gods sake his best friends mom came to pick him up at 1:30am but she only let him come over in the first place when she heard that the normal 9-5 no criminal history boyfriend shes never met wasnt going to be there. that was the first time she EVER did that. and the last. thank god ive found a few other families who have other priorities like love acceptance happiness togetherness celebration etc etc etc etc etc. 

Leigh Anne’s Story

I am so heartbroken right now! After reading KC’s story, my daughter’s entire childhood makes perfect sense. Being a young single working mom by choice – divorced him when I was 25 and she was 2, it was just me and my girl. She would always get invited to her friend’s house after school and on the weekends but none of her friends would ever be able to come over to hers. EVER! Her friends would be so excited and then come back to school the next day and say, “My mom said no.” Later in elementary school, she would even CRY nearly every weekend because no one could come over. I now get it that it was our lifestyle that prevented parents from trusting, accepting, allowing, whatever their hangup was. Bastards. I’m a really good mom and my child is a STAR student, well-behaved, smart, thoughtful, considerate, well-mannered, but becuase I was single… I am so sad about her lost childhood and if I could go back and do one thing differently, I would FAKE that I was married and LIE that I did not have a job so that I could be like all those other (pathetic, narrow-minded) moms IF ONLY FOR THE HAPPINESS OF MY GIRL.
