It's a lot of suffering when a family goes through distressing
times like that. It's really good to have support from family
and friends then, so I'm very glad you are helping them.

Mrs. T went home yesterday. She's going to be seeing the
doctor on a weekly basis for a while, so they can monitor her
blood levels, then slightly less often for a while after that.
Chris has one left (scheduled) travel this year, and he was able
to rearrange that for the first of November. He'll be leaving
Wednesday (11/1) and returning that Saturday. There's a chance
the boys will be staying with me (except Perry, but he drives
and can come over here pretty much any time), but that will
depend on how Mrs. T is doing. Both Spinsters (sorry to call
them that, but I've barely met them and just can not remember
their names, much less which is which) will be staying the next
few days, and one of them will be staying another couple of
weeks, until Chris returns from his business trip.
The boys had dinner with their family, but came back here for
the night. They're going home today, but everyone decided it
would be easier to settle her in first, rather than moving them
all at the same time.
The next week or so will tell the important information - how
well her kidney's are really performing and if/how well she'll
take care of herself. Once that's decided, Chris will have to
start giving serious thought to what he's going to do with his
job.

I haven't updated this in a while, but that can be taken as a
good thing.
Mrs. Tidwell's health seems to have stabilized. Her kidneys
aren't functioning at 100%, but she still has both of them, so
she's fairly safe. She takes some meds (for kidneys and blood
pressure), she has a special diet (not too bad, just some things
she had to drop or cut way back on - apparently the worst of it
is that she isn't supposed to eat a lot of bananas), and she has
to take blood and urine tests to make sure everything is working
right (monthly right now, but the doctor says they'll probably
cut that down if everything stays normal for a few more months).
Chris' aunt stayed with them until just now. When they went to
visit family for Christmas, she just stayed there when they
left. Perry and Chris both have a good idea what they need to
watch for in case Mrs. T's physical or mental health start to
slip again. On the other hand, someone looked around and found
a pretty conservative (religiously) trained therapist who has
made time to see her and help her deal with her grief, release
her grief isn't 'weakness' or 'sinful', and figure out how to
take time to deal with the kids and her responsibilities while
also making time for herself and her own needs.
Chris has not taken a demotion at work, but he has been training
someone else who might be up for his or a similar situation.
Chris will still have to make scheduled trips, but those will be
fairly short. The hope is he won't have to make the
longer-termed, emergency trips anymore.
But last night, Perry came to me with a problem.
Let me start by saying that Perry has 6 younger brothers. The
youngest is just a toddler, and the next two are pre-school and
kindergarten. He has no trouble with them or Linc, and Linc and
Bo (Joaquin, but Bo is easier) have had their bottoms bared for
a number of trips over Perry's lap. Their mom (and aunt) have
handled the girls. His problem comes with Chas and Ev. He has
whipped both of them, but those three boys are really close, and
he hates having to whip them, and it's hard for him to enforce
anything else. As I said above, Perry had a slightly heavy load
this past semester, but he came out of it with a (I want to say
3.7ish) - good enough to be more than just respectable.
However, as they got into Chritsmas, he realized that Chas and
Evan have both been letting things slide a bit in several ways.
Last night, he brought them to me, and submitted all three of
them for punishment.
As I said elsewhere, finals are coming up for the younger kids
next week, basically finals start in 1 week. i'm going to skip
the rant on what a stupid schedule this is for now. I told them
we were going to focus on schoolwork for now. It'll be a bit
hard on Evan, who's a basketball player, but Chas is waiting for
baseball season, so it'll be easier with him. I have told them
that, while I agree with Perry that they've slacked off where
they knew better, we're going to give them a chance to make it
up, and I won't make any decisions until after finals, unless I
see them giving less than 100%.
In the meantime, I am going to do an end run around Perry and
talk to Chris. I'm going to tell him that Perry is worried
about upseting him or the Mrs., but that he needs more support
to deal with the next oldest two, who aren't just his brothers
but his friends, and then I'll suggest he look at how chores are
being done, then let him handle it.
After dismissing Chas and Ev, i asked Perry why he thought he
was in trouble. He felt like he hadn't been supervising them
close enough, and I called bullshit on that one. It's great
that he wants to help his parents and keep his brothers in
check, and he's mostly doing a great job, but he can't take care
of himself, then do everything else for everyone one else, and
taking care of himself is his prime duty right now. Hell, he's
still only 17, and taking care of him is still his parents duty.
Just taking care of himself as best he can is helping them out
a ton. I did promise him that if i thought he needed a
whupping, I would wear him out, and i even showed him the large
Lexan, which I've never used (for punishment) because I decided
it was just too harsh after I got it, but I told him that if he
needed it bad enough, I'd use that and give hm a full count on
it, no matter how old he was. As it is for now, there was only
one thing I was willing to do.
I hugged him into submission, then ticked him a while.

It took me a little while to figure out who the third boy was.
I guess Perry thought Chas and Evan would be more accepting of
their fate if they were all in the same boat. (This isn't the
first time Perry has offered himself for a licking.)

Jack. What restraint you have. Three boys standing in front of
you, asking to be spanked and you said No. Not this time. ;D

I don't think the younger two were asking for a spanking. With
Perry, it was more like he was submitting, not asking. Besides,
I didn't say I wasn't going to spank them, I just want to get
them working on the important stuff, then we'll figure out what
happened.

I'm not sure if Perry suffers from an excess of guilt or an
overly developed since of responsibility. In this case, I know
he's whipped (yes, with a belt, and yes, bare) both of his
brothers at least once this past fall. He didn't tell me much
detail about it, but I think he felt taking a paddling himself,
for not fulfilling his duty, would be better than having to whip
them again. That's why I plan on having a talk with Chris about
this.

Perry is a sweetheart. So there are seven boys in the family?
How many sisters are there?

Four -- I'd have to check to be sure, but I think Chas is 12
now, so the oldest sister is either 10 or 11.
