Didn't know that. Down to Fulham and Arsenal now.

Arsenal....just because of the name. FULL ARSENAL. ATTACK.


Note: I know nothing about the teams.

I'm thinking tonight might be a Chipotle night... I hate deciding where to eat.

We have a strip mall with Chipotle, Panera, and Jimmy Johns in it right by my house. Every time I go for one thing, I end up changing to something else.

1. It is his child. He will ALWAYS be around, so get use to it.

2. It is at her parents house. Pretty sure 1 of her parents going to be there as well.

But what level of him being around is considered okay?

If we were to get married, would it be deemed acceptable for me to have to go pick him up and bring him to our house?

Am I in the wrong for thinking that if she wants to make it work with me, she may have to make concessions? Why does she never have to make concessions when it comes to circumstances regarding the ex? Why am I the one that has to deal with the way things are? Why does she have to drive him around? Why does he have to babysit at her house?

They could work around this and make it work a different way (may be difficult, but nothing is impossible), but they don't. I'm the one that ends up having to deal with this and accept it for what it is. My opinion seems irrelevant. Why is my opinion irrelevant? Why am I the bad guy for not being okay with it?

I have to admit, I'm extremely jealous of everyone who has been getting snow this winter.

I'm happy we aren't getting snow here. Less snow the better.

Kansas City's always good for at least one big snow or ice storm. It usually comes in late January/February, so I'm sure we'll still get it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

It really hasn't even felt like Winter, so far.

It's been raining for the past three days and will be until Tuesday.

I didn't even have to put a jacket on, when I went out last night.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I was outside taking down Christmas lights yesterday in shorts and a t shirt and started to sweat. Crazy weather

Re: Off Topic 2012

It's felt like winter one time this year(last 365 days) pretty much. There was one little span of a few days where I actually had to wear jackets, but pretty much the entire year has been warm. It's early January and it feels like flip flop weather here.

The last couple years Wisconsin's been good for getting a lot of snow, especially up in Menomonie. We had several big snowstorms back to back right in a row, including a direct hit by the storm that caused the Metrodome room to collapse. This year, Menomonie's maybe got a couple inches total, with Milwaukee getting less than an inch total.

However, Menomonie did have a few times this year where it would rain and the next day would be in the teens and freeze everything.

Hey everyone, just letting you know that for a pass to be ruled a forward pass, it must go forward.

Well......you 2 aren't married yet. She is still living with her parents, so therefore he is going to her parents house. Can't deny a man from seeing his child at THEIR grandparents house.

Now when you 2 get married, then you guys just meet up at a park or somewhere close to where he can get to on his own.

Basically your situation just comes with the territory of dating women who have a child or kids. Can't deny a man access to his kids. Won't be fair to the kids. Always remember, the kids were there FIRST before YOU.

So you will just have to learn to deal with it on up until the kids are 18 years old. Get use to it, you going to be seeing dude for YEARS.

Far as why he babysits at her parents house, who knows. Maybe her parents wanted it that way. Maybe where he is living at isn't kid friendly or something.

IF this is bothering you NOW, you going to be in a world of anxiety when her kids gets older and wants to spend the night with him or do stuff with him and not you, or he goes out and buy a more expensive christmas gift or birthday gift then you did.

OR the worse part, the child ask you for something and you can't afford it, so they say well I', just going to ask my daddy he can afford it and he goes out and buy it right then and there.

Just comes with the territory. Welcome to the world that millions of men go through everyday when they take on the challenge of dating and marrying women with kids.

Re: Off Topic 2012

It'd be different if she was just having him hang around, but they are his kids. It's the baggage that you got when you signed up for the relationship. So you either have to take it or leave it.
