Yes my personal social situation was a factor, but in the end, it was mostly about how much means I DIDN&#39;T have and don&#39;t have for that matter.<br /><br />Money affects all the relationships I have honestly. Mostly because the reason I don&#39;t have more than a couple friends and why I don&#39;t spend very much time with them is all about how much money I can spare to &#39;have fun&#39;. <br />Life costs money, it&#39;s just a fact. I know there are people who want to believe that people would still want to know them if they didn&#39;t have the means they have, but I think they are wrong.<br /><br />That being said, people nowadays, because of the huge economic crisis, are really being tested as to how much money really matters to them and how it affects who they&#39;re friends are and such.<br /><br />I know that my sons adoptive parents *might* be struggling, but they would never share that with me!! Far as I can tell, they look like they are rolling in it but being frugal as a neccessary caution. <br />Some part of me wonders if they care how much money I have to live on, I have enough for myself. I will always wonder in the future, when my son can understand things a little more, will he think it was crazy of me to have made the decision I made for him given it was mostly about money?? Money, I would have had and have presently could have meant that I could have parented in theory.<br />If his adoptive parents realize this, they have never let on to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-2140662728363942042010-04-14T19:34:20.782-07:002010-04-14T19:34:20.782-07:00Mine&#39;s up!<br />http://www.thiswomanswork.com/2010/04/14/money/Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04164833674841541784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-60445962490625597652010-04-14T19:28:10.695-07:002010-04-14T19:28:10.695-07:00Mine goes up bright and early tomorrow morning: http://susiebook.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/open-adoption-roundtable-15/susiebookhttp://susiebook.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
