Give Grandma parental rights???

[princess60282]

What is the name of your state? Arkansas

I am wondering if anything was to happen to me, if I bacame disabled or passed away, could I give my parental rights to my mother? My son's father and I are still together (un-married). I want to have a will drawn up for this purpose. His father agreed to sign it. Reason being I feel with my mom having say so in my child's life he would be a lot better off. So basically what all could I do legally? Is this at all possible? Thank you for your time! Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

As far as I know, you can not put your children in a will to give them to someone else because they are not property. The father would get custody of them should something happen to you, unless your mother fought him for custody and could prove him unfit.

Grace I wonder why you would use the quote of the high priest of the Church of Satan as one of your favs?

If I remember correctly, Grace didn't know Anton Lavey was who he is when she first started using it.
Personally, I think it's a cool quote and is very much applicable sometimes on this site.

Thank you CAPrincess. You are correct.

I had no idea who Anton Lavey was when I read that quote. Why would I? I saw it, liked it and used it. When I did find out, I freaked out but everyone on here said don't worry about it because they liked it and that I shouldn't worry about who it came from. So, that comforted me and because everyone liked it, I kept it. I knew it would just be a matter of time before someone said something about it though, just like I mentioned in my other thread. I don't want people saying I'm guilty by association or something or that just because I posted it on some website. I do not support Satan worshipers and I damn sure ain't one. I might put a sticker of a rainbow on my car or wear a shirt with a rainbow on it but that doesn't mean I'm gay. Not saying you are insuating that, but just in case anyone did get that interpretation..

Someone else had wondered who the author was, looked it up and brought it to my attention, that's when I found out. It does make me curious though, why people would take the time to look up that information or how they may know who it is.

Also I never said this quote was one of my favs, I just said I happend to like it. I used it because of the way things were/are going in my life now.

I have been getting bored with it though and have been thinking about changing it.

Do you suppose a Jehovah's witness would know off the top of their head who Anton Lavey is?

Now that I know where this quote came from, I may just use it the next time I get a knock on my door.....

 

[Grace_Adler]

ROTFLMAO! OMG! I'm in tears! Thank you for that laugh. I never thought about that. I think I will use that too.

As a matter of fact, when they've come to the door before I believe on a couple of occassions DH told them he didn't believe in God, he was an atheist and another time he told them he was a Budhist (sp? I don't know how to spell it.. LOL) LOL One time he told them he didn't care what they had to say and slammed the door, another time he tried to convert them to Budhist LMAO Which he isn't an atheist or Budhist but he has a lot of respect for the latter because of his martial arts training. They kind of left in a hurry after that, not knowing what to think. LOL

I'm not knocking anyone's religion but I am seriously not interested in becoming a Jehovah's witness.

Man that was good, I am still laughing.

By the way, I like your quote. How true that is. LOL

I had a friend whose mom once got rid of the Jehovah's Witness pretty effectively. When they asked her if she believed in the devil, she leaned in real close to them and whispered, "I am Satan."
My friend said they never bothered stopping at her house after that. LOL

 

[Grace_Adler]

ROTFLMAO! That was good too! I can just imagine what they were thinking. Oh the possibilities. LMAO

When a JW comes to the door, just ask them to wait a minute so you can get a piece of paper because you want to get their home addresses for your kids' next door to door fundraising effort....then close the door and let them stand there.

 

[Grace_Adler]

LMAO! I like that one too.

 

[OnlyOneVoice]

I knew who Anton Levey was, because I was a college student when his "Satanic Bible" was written.

Now I doubt your local JW would know who he was and frankly his noteraity has dwindled considerably since his early years.


Now as to how to rid oneself of the JW's. I got my stuff together and grabbed a good greek interliner translation of the New Testament and showed them how they had so grossly mistranslated many passages.

AFter this heated confrontation, they never knocked on my door again either.

They still came to my neighborhood but never to my door.

 

[Grace_Adler]

LMAO! They must have put you on their "Do not contact list". I can picture it now.. "Ok everyone, you can go where ever you want but DO NOT go to that house over there!" said as they point to your house. LOL

That's why I don't want to become one of them, because they use the Bible, but they totally misinterpret it and don't even follow what it says. I try to stay away from religions like that.
