"I would love to keep you away from him but I would never keep him away from you!"
I watched Teen Moms on MTV the other night. One of the characters (Macy) said this to her son's baby daddy.
"I would love to keep you away from him but I would never keep him away from you!" She was expressing her feelings of how the baby daddy was not someone she wanted to be around her son but that her son deserved to have a relationship with his daddy.
Be reasonable, work with us, or suffer!
This morning I have been reflecting on our 16+ year adventure in dealing with the SpermIdiot and the SpermClan.
My wife gave me a desk top photo album/stand for our 16th anniversary. Today I flipped the pictures and there is a picture of my kid (SS-18) from 12-12-94. What a great hid he is was and is. Except for the teen thing that he may yet live through he is a truly outstanding young man. My wife and I are proud to be his mom and dad.
As for the SpermClan.......
I can sum the entire 16+ years up in one sentence. Be reasonable, work with us, or suffer!

Where have I been?
Sorry for my somewhat extended absence. I have been busy closing on a new house, moving, unpacking, setting up the home, getting all of the utilities turned on, etc..... My bride has been the one to do these types of things until now. She recently started with a new firm and I have been in Houston for several months before she got here so this time it is all on me to get everything turned on at the house.

The kid barely survived his latest success.
My SS had his first meeting with a recruiter today. The turd took the ASVAB and ..... missed ONE QUESTION. Three hours worth of test and he missed one f'in question. This is the kid that flunked out of Military School less than a year ago.
Wow, I was proud, pissed and ready to kill him all at the same time. The AF offered him their two best training programs, linguistics and computer programming.

Long: My SS's first court case - Proud Arrow set the precident so I will follow suite.
My wife became pregnant with our son (my SS) when she was 16 and BioDad was 21. BioDad has a long history of inappropriate if not criminal sexual relationships with minors. They were never married.
My wife graduated from HS with her class and with honors. After graduation BioDad decided that my wife was approaching 18yo and too old for him so he abandoned my wife and SS in a condemned travel trailer to run off with his next 16yo victim.
Is the key to Blended family bliss not recognising the family as blended?
I have never considered my Skid as anything but my son. Would this work for both resident and non resident Skids?
If a Skid does not behave in accordance with the house rules the kid stays in their room the whole visitation and everyone else goes about their usual business.
Eventually the kid will catch a clue and get on board.
Be careful what you wish for .... SS told me today that he was tired of hearing my opinion on his dating status.
So, I tease my SS occassionally on not ever asking a girl out on a date. I am teasing when I do this.
Today he and I went to lunch. His mom is out of town for a wedding so it is just he and I for the weekend.
At lunch the waitress took our order. He noticed her, and she noticed him. She was a cutie. After she took our order and left I asked him if he was going to get her number. He gave me a look that would have melted steel then said ... "Dad, I am really sick of you harping on this topic and I wish you would stop." :jawdrop:
It just dawned on me.
Sometimes the big picture of Sparenting can get pretty overwhelming. When this happens maybe we should look at the little moments that can be fun or at least tolerable.
Or visa versa. When the little moments get aggravating maybe we can look at the big picture.
Regardless of the situation there has to be some direction as Sparents that we can look for our blended family adventure to at least be tolerable.

At least 9hrs of drive time during our 35hr road trip was spent laughing.
I recently rescued my bride and our kid (my SS-18) from the SpermClan/IL homeland.
We had a great time roadtripping back to Tx. The stops were beautiful, how can you beat, Crater Lake, Eastern OR, Reno, Tahoe, VA City, the N rim of the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Four Corners?
Most notable were the laughs we had. The kid (my SS-18) kept his mom and I rolling with laughter and on the verge of tears. I kept the two of them rolling and my wife kept the kid and I in a state of laugh lock.
