I had a job where marking off forms in an isolated backroom was a big part of it. An order would come, I'd go to the room to check off the forms and make sure everything was set, except there's no loving pen. I finally went the bank route and tied a pen to a string and tied the string to my dippy little workbench situation. Next time I come in, there's a frayed string. It looked like Templeton the rat took a liking to my pen and chewed it off. I don't know who the gently caress decided the one little pen in the back was more accessible than the entire sales floor and offices, but they were persistent.

I'm mostly floored "hey so I'm marrying a guy you've never heard of because I wanted to make sure he'd be a good step-dad before introducing you" was not only a plan the mother thought was reasonable, but one that panned out exactly as intended.

Yeah, seems like there should be a middle ground between the intended, "I don't want my daughter to feel instability through my boyfriends." and, "I'm gonna marry this guy who has never interacted with my kid before! HOPE IT WORKS OUT!"

If there's someone who's still a child who has struggled with feelings of rejection their whole life I can see that not risking further rejection would feel safer for them. Edit: Now as a palette cleanser I need to go re-read the story of the adopted child who found their mother working in a diner then visited surreptitiously before making contact.

Child support orders can include requirements to (partially) pay for college in some jurisdictions. I think it's based on the idea that saving for college would be part of the ordinary family expenses. And there might be negotiated tradeoffs like lower support payments now because the college support is agreed to in the future. I know this was a huge sticking point in my parents divorce because dad wanted to have zero financial obligations the moment I turned 18.

The state can only force you to pay child support but most settled divorces involve some negotiated provisions that both parties agree to. Think of it like a contract, but instead of enforcing the order in regular court by breach of contract you put your dad in front of a family court judge on contempt charges.

She's great is what she is. Fleece that rear end in a top hat for any cash you can and toss him to the curb when his bitching outweighs the money. edit: like seriously, the fact he's just letting her dunk on him repeatedly while making no effort to stop her in any way shows he's a spineless curmudgeon unwilling to not get his dick wet. She has literally all the cards. ShootaBoy fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Feb 10, 2022 |

Met my biological dad for the first time ever and I’m very happy about it quote:Lots of you asked to let you know how it goes meeting my biological dad and to say it was emotional….is an understatement. I’ve been feeling so many things since this all happened. We met a few days ago. Was originally supposed to be almost 2 weeks ago but poo poo kept coming up. Work and then I got sick (not covid) for days. But we made it happen. Tbh this was more nervous for me because I didn’t know anything about him. With my bio mom it was different because I watched her from far and got to know her a little before it came out. I asked my bio mom if she could be there too just because she knows him better so it was the 2 of us waiting for him at this park.

If you don't like dogs (like me), the sensible thing is to not date people with dogs. Just don't do it! Like that short guy with a complex, just don't date women that aren't at least a head shorter than you! Just don't do it!

Let's wholesome up this page I (15M) started calling my stepdad 'dad', and now my stepbrother (17M) won't speak to me quote:My mom married my stepdad when I was 7, and I met him when I was 5. my biological father passed when I was 6months old, so sadly I did not know him. my stepdad has been the only 'dad' I've ever known. quote:firstly, thanks for all the advice on my post. the first person I talked to was my dad, and I told him that I don't want to stop calling him dad, because he is my dad. he's always is and has been there for me. and so I went back to calling him dad again, it feels great. one of my stepsisters took me to lunch to also tell me that I'm family, and that if I want to call dad 'dad' I should, and that I should not change my mind because of Aaron (my stepbrother).
