    Need help with son hitting puberty

    SchrondingersCat is a step-parent. How does that disqualify her from understanding the parenting role? I very much doubt that she is any less of a parent to her step daughter just because she didn't birth her. I would caution you against drawing that conclusion.

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    I'm missing work to be home for the maintenance guy and plumber to get here and fix our hot water heater; which is leaking into the basement. Unfortunately, we're also in the midst of a lake effect snow storm and I haven't heard from anyone what time the plumber will get here.

    Sharing the Holidays

    When Wendigo and I first got involved we were 100% in the closet. To the point where at a pool party with friends, he actually lowered his voice and asked if we were so far in the closet that he couldn't get a hug good bye. . . . to which I replied, ofcourse you get a hug. (I hug everyone...

    Need help with son hitting puberty

    I agree with you Helo. The one thing I've noticed, working with developmentally disabled adults, is that it isn't the staff discouraging these relationships, but the families. They seem afraid that their children will have children who they will in turn be responsible for, so it comes down to us...

    Any "straight laced" folks on here?

    I'm an employment counselor with a degree in Child and Family Studies and Social Welfare policy, but I'm also a gamer, geek, Christopagan, and kinkster. My private life and social life are kept very separate from my work persona, and from my family, who are fairly conservative on average. My...

    Need help with son hitting puberty

    I was 15, just barely, as it was a couple of weeks after my birthday. It was with the boy I was dating at the time; we were both virgins. Honestly, I could have handled it better. I was horny and invited him over to my grandmother's house. It was snowing and he rode his bike all the way across...

    Your most recent OKC messages. post em here!

    First ever message from a female last night.... "Hi, I'm *****." Nothing else, just a name. I checked her profile and we're a 10% match. Though reading her profile it was nice to see that her boyfriend didn't require her to share her girlfriends with him.

    Please help me fix my mistakes. I need criticism.

    Alot of people use analogies. We pick them up over the course of our lifetimes. I do find it odd that you suspect LikeFiretoIce of being your boyfriend. Why do you find it so hard for people to see a bit of their younger selves in you?

    Need help with son hitting puberty

    I've kinda gotten over the fact that my baby isn't my baby anymore. I'm sure I will get hit with it again when he starts dating. My son recently got a computer, but he's limited to two hrs a day, and has to wait until we get home to get on it. The computer is also in the living room, because...

    In a emotional mess

    Did they break up or did the three of you break up? Because it's okay for them to decide they don't want poly with each other, but not to make the decision for you who you will and won't date. I'm not a big fan of talking and then reporting back what was decided w/o including the 3rd or 4th...

    Poly, but still mono?

    It sounds to me like something happened and your triad partners realized their marriage was in jeopardy. They told you that they would need some time to work on it. (Or so it would seem to them, as they say that they "warned you".) If that is the case, you are left with two choices: 1) accept...

    Need help with son hitting puberty

    Where we live 11 is half way through middle school; they start high school at 13. The puberty video was mandatory after school last year when he was 10. We have attempted basic talks about sexuality for the last 2 years, because older girls in the neighborhood were pressuring the boys to date...

    Couple and best friend?

    Also, please forgive my grammar mistakes. When I wrote this, I was on some pretty strong pain killers after having had surgery on Friday.

    Couple and best friend?

    I guess it would depend on how the tangle started. In my case, Wendigo (BF)and Runic Wolf (DH) were best friends. Wendigo and I were also very close friends and confidants. So when Wendigo approached me, while drunk, and initially broached the subject about becoming more than friends, I was...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Spent a fun evening Thursday with Runic Wolf, Wendigo, and some friends. Enjoyed having someone to cook with in the kitchen, even if I didn't get to enjoy much of the food as my pre-op cleanse meds kicked in whilst cooking dinner. My surgery went well Friday and I spent most of yesterday...

    Sexism, Gamers Contd. Discussion

    As a female gamer who has run the gambit, LARP, table top, miniatures, video games, I have not had the experience of not belonging or feeling like the odd man out. My current table top game has an 50 - 50 split, if you include the GM, of men and women. I've experienced more sexism in church, the...

    Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness

    It's actually been a while since Wendigo, Runic Wolf, and I have been able to do that.

    Redpepper's journey

    In my experience, this is not true. The pain and hurt effects their entire support group of friends and family. It can affect their co-workers, their ability to maintain their jobs. Even in monogamous relationships, people are connected to more than just each other. For example, a friend of...
