Good day, fellow S'Talkers.  For those who have who have not read of my tragi-comic adventures in Step-World,  here is the cast of dysfunctional characters:

SO - Significant Other

SOD - Significant Other - Daughter

SOS - Significant Other - Son

POS - ex-husband of SO, and the sperm donor of SOD and SOS.  This is the "man" who happily unloads responsibility for his children on me (mostly financial in nature, but also all of the labor of helping them learn to be adults). 

SOD - GD - Significant Other - GrandDaughter

G'day fellow STalker, 

So I have been wresting with this one for a while.  What is it, exactly, that makes "bad boys" so irresistable?

As a bit of background, my current situation mostly revolves around SOD (Significant Other-Daughter"), the TPP ("Trailer Park Prince"), and SOD-GD (Significant Other - Daughter's GrandDaughter).  TPP is the biological father of SOD-GD.

For those who have been following, SOS (Significant Other - Son) relecutantly got a job at Target after sitting on his ass for 3 months after graduating high school.  He easily got a job, and displayed a surprising amount of enthsiasm for said job.
