That's what I told my husband. I think we should get a lawyer and get custody. But my husband feels like he doesn't have a right to say anything because his son has always lived with his mother and he just gets him some weekends and in the summer. They were never married it was just a fling while my husband has always been there to support his son he feels like he doesn't have much say in how he is raised.

I agree with hk.

My stepson started online school this year and my husband and I are not happy about it. He is going to do online school along with his 7yo sister. Their mother works during the day. Who is going to make sure these kids do their work? No one. And he is already socially awkward and rather stay at home than go somewhere.

I told my husband he needs to put a stop to it but he said he will give her a month and if he doesn't get some kind of proof that he is doing his work he is going to insist that he go back to school.

^^this is what I am afraid will happen to my step son.

I don't know how many competed but I think it was quite a few because his water aerobics class was there and there is at least 15 in there.

Anyways I am still very proud of him even if he would have been the only one in his age group! 

My dad has came along way. Over a year ago he was completely sedentary and really overweight. When he decided to have the surgery he really changed his way of thinking. He eats right and workouts 4-5 times a week. I am so proud of him. Now I know that I will have him in my life for alot longer.

Now I just need to take his suggestions and get my butt off the couch!

The only reason he got a car is because he works and has alot of school commitments. I am tired of driving him everywhere. I have a 3YO and it is a pain to load her up into the car and drive him everywhere. I just paid cash for a car nothing fancy just something to get around in.

He suprised me last night I didn't tell him to call or anything but after work he called and told me he was going to eat pizza with friends. I didn't even have to ask. I was worreid about nothing.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I think I need to back off. I know he will call if gets into trouble.

Here in Texas the only restriction he had was he could only have one passenger the first six months of his license and he can't be out after midnight unless it is work related or school related. But he has no business being out that late anyways. Also no driving test as long as you took driver's education. Which is kinda crazy.

I was thinking I am acting like my parents now. I remember when my dad told me that it wasn't me he didn't trust it was the other people he didn't trust. I almost caught myself saying that the other day. LOL

It's my 3yo making a crazy face. Because it is too cute!

Thanks for letting me rant. I am using it for motivation and it has helped. Everytime I go to pick up something that I shouldn't eat I just keep telling myself "Dad weighs less than you" and it works!

My son believed in Santa till like 10 or so at least. The kids on the block you to tell him he was not real. I told him "Just because Santa does not visit those bad kids doesn't mean he isn't real".
