"My kid would get up in the middle of the night and want a snack. He would sneak into the kitchen and eat a whole tomato except the little circle where it connected to the stem.
He hid the little stem circles under whatever was on top of the trash and would go to sleep.
We always made sure there were tomatoes for him."
"My 16 y/o had a box of condoms with a price sticker from the Dollar Store in his backpack, he left it on my passenger seat and they fell out while I was shifting it to the back seat. I went and bought him a better brand and replaced them. We have never discussed it Edit- Thank you all so much for the great feedback, parenting is no easy task lol. To clarify, we have discussed sex, I only meant that we've never discussed the actual switching of the condom boxes"
The saddest thing I will read today. My heart goes out to this girl.
The fact that she feels like she has to hide it. :(
I enter the picture, and after hearing this story, decided to "help her out" by letting her stay with me to get away from the couple, who were shady AF in my opinion. (she was barely a teenager, the couple was in their 70's) .
Fast forward 10 years, her daughter has been raised by us, and only knows me as her father, only I didn't adopt her. The mother insists we marry so I can adopt the child, only as soon as we are married, she decides to have me "ex parted" from the home under a restraining order, and while I am unable to have access to the home I BOUGHT OUTRIGHT, she files for divorce, claims the mortgage payments were only paid by her and wants all of the contents too. If I ever want to see my daughter again, I should not fight it in court, because I didn't adopt: I have any parental rights.
I conceded to it all just to be able to have visitation with my daughter. Material objects mean nothing to me, my daughter is my world. The EX? She is with a guy (married) who is in his late 70's....
I swear she is satans sister, I have never met anyone more evil.
Agree on BS for the story. It makes no sense. Even if the start were true, any reasonable divorce attorney could fix it in a few days. Restraining orders aren't given out just on someone's say so. You can't be kicked out of your house. The other person does not get to make the rules and order you to obey.
