She always seems very indifferent to him, and he can never seem to do the right thing to satisfy her. It's pretty depressing because he seems like a pretty good dude overall.
Yeah, I agree. I can definitely see why he didn't want to go for it, ultimately. Him wanting to get a truck was dumb, but him wanting to not buy a home right then was smart.
Middle school/high school was awhile ago now, but it seemed like the kids who were responsibly having sex were really into "doubling up" (aka condoms AND HBC). Meanwhile the girls who weren't on the pill also didn't use condoms a lot of the time. Weird, but there you go - I guess at that age you either have a safe sex…
For me, it's the constant couch lazing and that weird baby voice thing she does. I mean really, I think I've seen her OUT of a state of repose maybe a dozen times, max.
Well he had the big argument about the truck and got all grumpy/belligerent/noncommittal about Leah buying a nicer home with their savings, and that was pretty douchey. Before that, though, I thought he seemed like a pretty good guy. A bit immature, perhaps, but he certainly stepped a lot more than most of the other…
Two minutes later and I just peed my pants. At nine months pregnant that's not hard to do, but even so, I hope you're proud of yourself.
Can't breathe. Tears streaming down face. Send help.
Brb, memorizing that.
Yeah, exactly. It can be a very slippery slope for stupid parents. That was certainly my experience.
The problem is that abusive parents call this spanking anyway, and they brag about not being afraid to spank their kids, and the assholes around them nod knowingly. So a lot of us grew up thinking this happened to everyone.
Good for you. I always wondered how my mother could stand by and which my father do what he did to me. I even asked her the other day since I am about to become a parent myself, and her reason was essentially that she loved him anyways and they'd been together a long time. I'm glad not all moms are like that. : /
Well, my post was loaded with typos (ahh, emotional typing), so I think we're even. ;) And I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's nice to know there's someone out there who understands, though.
Are you me? I was the exact same way. I always got so angry thinking that most other parents would be THRILLED to have a kid was well-behaved and accomplished as me, but none of that mattered to my dad. Just expression emotion - I mean seriously ANY emotion - too "exuberantly" (read: any change from total monotonous…
You're very fortunate, then. My dad practically threw a party ever time he found an excuse to spank me for grievous sins like forgetting to put a bowl in the dishwasher.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I know how you feel. My father passed away a few years ago and my mother told me that he had been going to therapy because he just couldn't figure out why he couldn't communicate with me in a healthy manner.
That's the whole problem with condoning spanking, though. Some parents use it more as an attention-getter that isn't meant to cause much actual physical pain - not that I'm crazy about that, but I guess it's not traumatic - and other parents use the "spanking is okay" concept to beat the shit out of their kids.
Whenever I hear things like that, I just think of Roman Polanski defiantly stating that everyone wants to fuck young girls. No, actually, everyone is NOT just like you, assholes. But nice try.
Join the club! Pfft, not weird at all.
When I met Mr. Water, he had a handsome Riker beard/moustache thing going on, and that was seriously one of the first thoughts going through my head. "Ooh, he's got that whole Riker thing going on, helloooo nurse." And yeah, I'm torn between the two as well, ha. In fact I seem to recall pretty much most of the cast on…
