Now hopefully i won't end up being one at some point and have everyone call me out on it!

I don't have any kids but my boyfriend has a 12 yr old son. We have him only on the weekends and during the week he is with his grandmother (bf's mom) He is a good kid.Just the other day my bf tells me his mom asked if he was ready to take his son and asked me if I'm ready. I think that if I was ever ready for kids at 35 I would have had them already but because of finances it seemed I was never ready. The house, truck etc are all in my name (his credit severvely screwed up due to his baby's mom who took a car unpaid for) and can barely make ends meet without the bf's help.

For any young woman aged 19-26 be on the lookout to steer clear of a 36 yr old man in the "fingerlakes southerntier" region who prefers women in this age category.

He has a 13 yr old princess daughter; from all accounts she has adult spousal status. Druggie BM is not really in the picture, but unless they've assumed room temperature. . .

He just burned his bridges with his last GF who stayed around since she was 19 and now is about 24 yrs old.

He has an "unusual" first and last name, is into body building, etc.

Just wondering how y'all handle discipline in your houses? We had an issue with our SS this weekend and instead of DH and I discussing it he called BM and got her involved. Didn't say NOTHING to me and then finally I had to ask him the next day what had happened. Thanks bud. I just felt like there are three people in our marriage and was thinking that it really sucks that BM has so much control on what goes on at our house. I'm tired of it. Blah.

:O :O :O :O :O

So bi-polar/drug addict moving back into state after 5th time in rehab and his BM got him an apartment and a car. I informed my DH that I would have nothing to do with him. I refuse to see him. The past year with this kid has been a nightmare. No sooner is he out of rehab and then he right back in again. BM totally enabling and all she does is stalk DH for $. SS21 does not see any reason why he needs to get a job. DH told him he would not support him and is not allowed in our house.

Hi, I am new to posting. I thought I could try it out.

I have SS 17 and a BS 16. BS is ours. We had SS EOWE and every Friday to Saturday evening. When SS turned 14, he stopped coming as often. He barely met us one day a month. My DH was very upset and tried and tried to get SS to come by more. But SS always said he was busy.

Hi there

Received idiot's 6weeks report cards the other day..."0" in ALL classes...over 60 absences in the semester...000000000 oh! how many zeros is that? And of course, BM is on the school list of contacts, but really...why isn't that kid in truancy jail or detention center? why isn't BM in jail for allowing her 16yr old to skip school for weeks at a time?

Today is my dad's birthday, so called him up to wish him happy birthday. He's funny because he can talk your ear off. I'm not a phone person at all; I see the phone as a necessary evil, for the most part. I wonder where I got that from because it obviously wasn't my mom or dad. Anyway, we talked for over 3 hours about pretty much everything: my mom, my ss, my late sm, how much he hates all three of them, how he now wants to be cremated, about why it's never wise to mix finances in any relationship, and on and on. Really, even though I don't like the phone, I do enjoy this conversation.
