[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 633252, member: 1514"] I just managed to get on here to read this. My mouse died. I am laughing with you about moving....you know, your son will be grown in a couple of years! Hang on. The whole time I was reading this I was thinking to myself...M has met a man. Reminds me so much of how Monkey's mom acts. And as you know, you and I have talked before about how we have had some similar things happen to us in our early years. I think we gave my son's a really bad example of how to get into a relationship because we never hid the fact that we met and moved in together immediately...and have never parted. They think that is normal and works. Unfortunately it doesnt normally. Cory tried desperately to do the same thing with Monkey's mom. When he was almost 19 he met her and she already had a little boy. Same situation as his father and me. He wanted to make that instant family. He was convinced they could live happily ever after just like us especially when they had Monkey. Obviously didnt work. My boys just dont understand how it worked that I met their father at a carnival and went home with him and never left. And that was in 1983! Billy was two and Tony is the only father he knows. Jamie was born in 84 and Cory in 86. Now I get how worried you are about your grandson being dragged around. That bugs me to no end. Except for my odd move in with Tony, Billy never met anyone I dated after his father left. I dont think kids should meet boyfriend's or girlfriend's unless or until it appears to be heading somewhere. I cant tell you how many places Monkey and her brother's have been drug around to. There are 4 adults who arent real happy about that. Im pretty sure you know who they are. I also firmly agree with you on it being time for her to leave. Living with adult kids is the pits. Ask me, I know, I have been doing it forever! I told Tony that I never, ever want to live with anyone again. He keeps talking about when we go home. I told him if we do, I am cutting off half the trailer and it will only be us. I will just close off all the other bedrooms. I wont have any of the boys there again. If he cant deal with that, he can go back and I will stay here and apply for section 8! I just cant do it again. [/QUOTE]
