[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 279846, member: 4264"] I must figure out the spork thing and the corner. I will get to the bottom of it bwaa haa haa!!! So lovely to wake up to see messages from all of you :) I guess Matt is pretty much turning into a typical teen! Wow. If only I could share it with everyone else. Pass along some typical teen to all of your difficult child's!!! As for my fiance, both kids love him very much. He is the first healthy adult role model that Matt has had. My DF and I had a rocky middle, my DF had some issues to work out and I at times didn't know if he would/could take care of them as I could not have had him in our lives if he didn't. What a wonderful man he is, and he has dealt very head on (after some inner resistence) with his issues and is doing so well. I'm very proud of him in many ways! Also, Matt was able to witness a wonderful man who could have messed up his life, but who instead got honest with himself and dealt with his carp. It is another reason that Matt admires him. So strange to think that I never imagined years ago that Matt would ever allow a close bond to a male role model. He was the first of us all to talk about marriage.
