Divorce is not having a normal life. Having two houses to call home doesn’t sound that horrible, but the struggle of making sure not only myself, but my younger sisters get to the right house, making sure I have an outfit or the right article of clothing at one house on a certain day, and I cannot forget homework at one house or I am lost for school the next day. Being able to drive eliminates the stress of two houses, but when riding the bus and not being able to get a ride to the other parent’s house it becomes stressful. Another disadvantage to two houses is two different lifestyles. One filled with people running amuck and butting heads about everything the other never having everyone together at once. One crazy with school emphasis the other crazy with work emphasis, the other encouraging me to follow my dreams, one encourages me to find money no matter if I like it or not, and one unemployed and one sitting healthy on funds. With the differences in households there are bound to be conflict. Even though divorce promises relief of fighting the fighting never stops. Arguments on what kids should be involved with, where the kids should spend more time at, and most often money. With one parent better off than the other tensions grow and the fight more about who needs to pay for this and who needs to pay for that and more likely than not a parent ends up crying and the kids once again are reminded of the pain of divorce and that life is never going to be fair with getting a normal life. One thing I get out of being a divorce kid is learning the importunacy of money and I set goals for myself and how I want my future to
