Reasonable adults can usually find ways to get over problems and get along with one another.

I know, but it was still a little strange. A lot of my friends with divorced parents told me stories that were just shocking.

Yeah, my parents have always gotten along well with each other. They always hung out at every wedding talking.

You are full of crap. What he is describing is just plain freaky weird

My kids get nervous as heck whenever I have to be around their mother. They thinks she's gonna fly off the handle at any minute (which is highly possible)
I find it entertaining

About the only time we are toghether is weddings and funerals

 

[FrigidFTSup]

That would probably be awkward as friend* for me.

It was for a while. But now it's just the norm. Really wouldn't trade it for anything. I was able to have two father figures instead of just one.

My parents have always been on good terms at least in front of my brother and I. Almost to a weird level. Like, you guys aren't supposed to like each other. Even my dad and stepdad get along really well. My dad, stepdad, brother, and I would golf together at least 3 times a month. I don't know how my mom found that comfortable.

Put my parents in the same room, it's like they are still in the process of getting divorced. Crazy crazy people. I think they have such strong feelings for each other they never were able to let it go. They were separated for years, and divorced for 23 yrs now. They still spew venom about each other. Only good thing is, they taught me to be the parent I am, not the ones they were, which is good for my kids.

That's my half brother and sister when my dad is around their mother. She's a whack job

That's awesome! Your parents and stepdad did well by you and your siblings.

I give my folks a lot of credit. They always put us first.

Not here. I did my best to try and save my siblings, but they are mostly screwed up. I was oldest, just not mature enough to help them.

IMO, That's what parenting is about. They don't ask to be born. We SHOULD put them first.

I hope you realize them being screwed up isn't your fault.

No more hearts ya bunch of pansies. Makes me better prepared for my kids when they become teenagers. Maybe......

100 percent.

Only so much you can do unfortunately. I'm 10 years older than my youngest brother, and 11 older than my sister. When my dad and their mom split I did everything I could to get them out of there whenever I could. During the summer I'd take them to the beach or a ball game just to get them away from the toxicity that is their mother since I could. They want nothing to do with her now so I think I did something right.

You're not the boss of me! I'll give you a heart if I want to. Lol.
I'm sure you'll be great with them when they're teenagers as you are now.

Just swing the wooden spoon harder, right?

I never touched my kids as teenagers, except to hug them. Lol.
