Does you sister post here then?

Yes, I do. I've been here for 11 years.

Don't take the boards too seriously honey, it'll drive ya crazy. Relax. Take the good advice and toss the bad. Have some fun. Poke around on other threads.

I told her the same thing when she called me this afternoon.

I never told her what the issue was about.

That's true. I've told her about the DIS numerous times. When she emailed me today about where to go to ask people's opinions about an issue, I recommended the CB. We talk about everything here. I did not know what she was going to ask.


By the way, I recommended that she just let this thread go away. So if she doesn't respond any more or it disappears, it's because she took my advice, not because she is someone else posting under another name or a Troll.

They should be communicating if their child (even adult IMO) has a problem. If you didn't want that, you shouldn't have married a guy with kids from a previous marriage.

Your husband is his father will be whether he is 20 or 60...asking about sharing the cost of the ring...or even discussing the ramifications of him moving back in with his mother at 20 with a girlfriend in tow are not unreasonable things for parents to discuss about their children.

My daughters from my first marriage are 23 and 24. The 23 year old is getting married and my ex and I have done alot of the planning stuff by phone. My 24 year old is currently living with her Father and wanted her fiance to move in too...he called to ask my opinion and I said if they wanted to live together they should get an apartment or he would have them living in his home forever, they want to make adult decisions they need to act like adults.. There is nothing wrong with what your husband's ex is doing...getting the opinion of the boys father in raising him...just because he is past legal adulthood their parenting job is not over.

Angel5809,

Please don't feel badly that some people gave you a hard time. For the most part the CB is a great place to get advice, and I can understand why Kirby told you that it might be a good place for you to come and get differing opinions.

Having said that, through the years people who post year regularly have experienced a number of "new" posters who have manipulated their stories, so some people can be rather jaded in their answers.

There were some good responses here. I hope that they helped you with perspective a bit.

Take care.
