Well, you have a good point because your fluff ball is absolutely gorgeous and I wanna squeeze her.

Excuse me if that's weird.

You're excused ... LOL it's not weird ... I squeeze her all the time - mind you she's not overly thrilled with it!

I forgot about eating dinner...I was too busy wrapping presents.

Now I'm so hungry my stomach hurts and I feel dizzy. Ughhhhh. You'd think I would have noticed sooner. Good job, me.

I'm sure the season has a lot to do with it. And then add a layer of yucky weather. It's enough to make anybody emotional.

Have you ever tried to make a connection with a type of food that you've eaten that can cause some sort of an emotional swing?

How do you actually get through to a 21 year old? My stepdaughter is hooked up with some really less than stellar people. The new BF has 2 kids and is in jail, which she keeps bailing him out but he keeps having more and more warrants out for him. But it's not HIS fault, the county keeps messing up.......

I just really don't know what to do at this point. I've been neutral, not pushed and tried to be a friend and understand. At this point I can't do that anymore. She has used all of her savings bailing this POS out of jail and now is coming to me for money. I refuse. I love her dearly but I am not going to support this.

I just don't know how to get through to her. He must be feeding her a heck of a line of BS.

Christina, many many moons ago I was involved with a guy and his group of friends that were less than stellar. My parents did NOTHING ... didn't say a word, didn't offer advice, nothing. I was with him for 3 years ... I spent LOADS of money on him to "impress" him about how wonderful a g/f I was to him.

After I left him, with not much of me intact, but lots of lessons learned the hard way ... my parents admitted that it drove them nuts to see me wasting my life on this guy ... but knowing the type of person I was (tell me NOT to do something and it's the first thing I'd do) they simply stayed completely uninvolved ... to the point of not even asking about him, "forgetting" his name LOL ...

As the "older" version of your daughter ... hang in there, we do learn our lessons, just the hard way!!!!

GusGus ... do you mean that whine / howl noise? Yeah Ky does that too ... it's hilarious ... and then I hold her longer and squeeze her and kiss her until she squirms!! LMAO ... it's too funny! Then I let her go and chase her around the bedroom!

That's exactly what he is feeding her. He's most likely using his kids or his proclaimed love for her as a manipulation tactic to get what he wants. I don't quite know if you can do anything but lay out the facts about what kind of person he is. You're doing the right thing by not giving her money. She's just going to blow it on him and she needs to realize how much she is actually spending on him when shes had enough if being broke .

You're just going to have to grit your teeth and put up with it. She's an adult so let her learn the hard way. One of my son's is invovled with a young lady that the wife and I find less than stellar. We have told him our opinion but hasn't done any good. At least the dogs agree with us.
