Some folks should never EVER be parents:

This happened yesterday:

-In Highland Park, MI - Yesterday, at around 2:15 Monday afternoon, witnesses watched Jamarr Pinkney Sr. march his naked 15-year-old son, Jamarr Pinkney Jr., out of a home and to an empty field. Once at the field, Pinkney Sr. allegedly ordered his child to "get on the ground" - the boy could be heard saying, "No daddy, no." Pinkney Sr. grabbed the boy's head and fired one round. Witnesses (Witnesses reviews) say Pinkney Sr. then calmly walked to his vehicle and drove off. The teen died from his injuries later that afternoon - authorities took Pinkney Sr. into custody a few hours after the execution. The boy's aunt, Yolanda Cherry, states that father and son had been arguing in her home earlier that day. "He beat my nephew real bad in the head where he had knots like he had been in a boxing ring," she said. When she tried to intervene, Pinkney Sr. pulled out a gun. "I ran down the street to get police down here and I heard a gunshot." -

.....My boyfriend came home yesterday, told me that about it and that a local freeway was closed on 94..because of what this supposed to be-father did! When he told me, I was sicken, and I thought I share it with you guys and girls this morning.
Why??? Is ALL I CAN SAY, WHY??????????????
I just don't understand these folks who just kill period....and their family and kids!!
-but this right here, was purely out-cold ...well, I guess I'll just end it there, your thoughts???

-Also, we need a "headline" category, on AO.

Spending Christmas together

My bf and I, we have spent the 3 Christmases that we've known each other together with our respective families, at different ends of the continent.

We've been together 3 years and now he's extended an offer for a common Christmas next year. After all, we ARE thinking of getting married.

I've never spent Christmas outside of family. It would mean I'd leave my mom alone. There is no other family left. And no, a common Christmas with me, bf AND mom is not possible fr various reasons. Neither would it work for my mom and his family.

I WANT to spend Christmas with him. I want to be a family with him. But I'm having guilt feelings about leaving the old lady alone.

How do you negociate where you spend Christmas? Do you ever spend it just the 2 of you?

Update: November 17, 2009.
Thanks for the input! my mom doesn't speak a common language with anyone in my bf's family or with my bf. Conversation would be basically impossible or I would have to constantly translate. Awkward to say the least. Plus, my mom doesn't like to travel/fly and she lives at the other end of the country. My bf doesn't like the town my mom lives in (nothing there to like, boring and small etc.). I can imagine that in the future at some point we will spend Christmas with her at her place, but I don't want to make it a rule/tradition. We are both uncomfortable there. Spending Christmas Eve with mom and the rest with my bf is difficult, because it involves lots of flying (flying to mom on the, say 23rd and back on the 25th and then back to my place on the 27th etc.) at the exact time where everything is full and the expenses huge. it's a mess! Sigh.
