Things Kids Say And Do
To people you are dating.
I’m a single Mom, and have been since my son was born. I didn’t date until he was 18 months old, dated the same guy for four years from the time he was two, and then dated infrequently until he went to college. Here’s why.
Fairly new boyfriend sits on the couch keeping me company and entertaining the 18 month old while I write. Little Man (the baby, not the boyfriend), waddles over to the couch, takes his diaper off and pees on the fairly new boyfriend. The first shot was fired over the hull by a little guy who found a novel use for his penis.
My son was right, by the way. The fairly new boyfriend turned out to be a jerk.
He borrowed money he didn’t repay. He got mad at me for ordering a drink on his card when I was at the restaurant/bar picking up food for him! He told me I was too loud in the same bar. I ended it that same night.
Score one for my baby boy and his instincts. But he ran some guys off so quickly I never got to know if he was right or not. Or even for sure if he was doing it on purpose.
