I think what it is with Martin, is that he was exposed for two years to a woman's children, who knew nothing about the truth, but everything about lying. He has so many things he has done, because he was allowed to, while being watched by this woman, and so breaking him of these little habits, will be hard. His own mother is not happy with what he does, which is why he is in our home. His mother knows I am strict enough to make the changes happen, even under the stress I am under. I also know, after talking to her, that many of rules, if not all, that he has to follow here, are the ones she is going to enforce as well, as she sees how wonderful you two have turned out, Butterfishy.

I am a proud mother, a stressed out "grandmother" to Martin, but I love all three of you. You are my family.

I think it was so long because of all the "kids" I have seen posting things here...and it seems like most are so young that they wouldn't know what real love is, just yet. Sorry it was longwinded, but tas a mom, I get that way.
It was a good poll question though!! It got my attention, and that is the best way to make a forum work, right?

You know, you are some pretty sick people. There are kids out there actually going through this crap, and you shove it in their face like a joke? As an adult, it makes me pity the day your generation takes over the country...and then you wonder why there are things like Columbine happening, and kids committing murder?!

DO US ALL A FAVOR AND GET PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNCILING!!!

I married a truck driver, so I only get to see him four days out of the month. (I am a mom, with teen aged daughters and a 10 yr old son) I can tell you that love is the most beautiful and ugly emotion there is. Either things are good, life is like a wonderful bouquet of flowers, and everything is just great to have, but the minute that love turns painful, emotionally, it is awful, the flowers die, and you are left begging to have the good times back. I have been lucky, my husband and I can get through even the roughest of times, but I can tell you it takes complete trust, honesty and communication to have that special relationship, where two people love each other so much, their hearts ache when they are apart.
Most of you are so young, have never really known what true love is, or that it even exists. I can tell you that it does. I see myself growing old with no one but my husband. I see our future only getting birghter. We talk about everything, even things one of us is not fully interested in, so that we can learn more about each other and support one another. We have been together for 20 years, and married for 12. I wake each morning knowing I am happy with him, and he does the same with me. It takes work, love is not something handed to you, it is something you earn, learn to cultivate and make grow. You cannot hold grudges against each other, you have to let the bad things slide off your back like water. You have to learn to appreciate even those things you don't like about each other, and if you can do that, then it is so worth it.

Ok, stepping off my soap box now!

Honestly, she stated an opinion. You calling her names like that only shows you are not mature enough to fully understand the topic, nor why it would offend others to hear about the loss of virginity among the young.
I am a parent, and I happen to know which of my two daughters is sexually active, and which one isn'tt. Since the one who is, is my step-daughter, I had no control over how she conducted herself, however, I did teach my own daughter that virginity is a gift, that it is something only given to someone you are truly in love with (no I am not Christian, so not prostelyzing here), and that you will regret, as you get older, giving it to someone just to fit in with the crowd. I know that for boys, it is a bragging right, a right of passage, to stop being a virgin before the age of 18, but even that is changing again, and more and more boys are taking part in staying virgins longer.

I just don't see the need to call her a whore and a c**t, unless, of course, you are carrying some guilt around and know that those words also apply to you and your attitude, which, often, in the case of name calling, they DO!

You might want to reflect on that a bit, because honestly, I could get really nasty with my comments in defense of what she stated. However, immature little children such as yourself would probably have me banned simply because you don't like what is posted.

Think about yourself and how you expect others to worship you, would you allow them to call you those names??? I think not...grow up!!!!

Well, it has been a while since I was on here, but I see that many of you don't have family on here, which is cool, because sometimes we all need a place to be ourselves.

I love this little site, it is fun, and the more I learn about it, the more fun I have!

Thank you for understanding that sometimes, us moms like to have fun...and find new things...hoping to learn more about today's teens and see how they see the world.

My step-daughter told us she was bi, and that she had a girlfriend. Now mind you, this girl thinks that she should only have the best, and of course, having a bi step-mother made it seem romantic to be that way too. I doubt her bi-sexuality, only because I have only seen her date boys, and her "girlfriend" lives in another state. I have seen this fad spread, because it is cool and the guys think it is cool to have a bi girlfriend...and it is sad. It gives those who are truly bi a bad name, and makes us look like we can choose our sexuality.

People are born gay, it is biologically proven, and bi-sexuality is hormonal, so chemically proven as well. If it is a chosen thing, it quickly dies out once an encounter happens, and distaste is found. I think before posting that they are bi, they should have had a true sexual experience beyond a kiss to prove as such. Leave it alone, and only when you have the experience of being able to say legitimately that you are bi-sexual.
