My parents both died was I was a teenager.
But my two grown daughters are very supportive of me ,and as long I meet someone that makes me happy they are happy too.
One funny thing I have noticed though is the "role reversal" suddenly I am the one getting the dating advise and third degree when I meet someone new. I also hear call me when you get home.

Twitch, so am I - know how you feel.

Twitch sometimes even those of us with parents, siblings and kids seem to be forgotten. Everyone has their life to live and in the process those of us who live on the outskirts of the family tend to be forgotten.

Well, thank-you, one and all. I was beginning to wonder about my family.

My Aunt only asks/demands one thing of me - "marry a rich guy next time, cos the other way doesn't work for you"

Of course she has no clue that I'm looking for a rich gal! She still thinks my 24 year old "gay" son is still young and will change his mind. I don't see the point in making it more challenging for her.

When I spoke to my folks last Sunday, I mentioned I was going target shooting with a friend of mine. They were more concerend that I was playing with guns than who I was shooting with???

My son likes to offer advice, I just listen intently, in case I ever have a date, I want to make sure I'm still cool.

Rainbow, I've decided, you should write comic books - you have such unique style, I wish I was so adept.

Thanks all!

I get that from my daughter.. she will even call me during a date.. and if I don't answer.. she just keeps calling... and then I have to call her when I get home and tell her how the date went. She lives in Florida and I live in Kentucky... but we have a very close relationship.... and her favorite thing to ask me is if I've gotten any lately! lol .....I just recently turned 50 and had a 7 year relationship end without any reason other than he didn't want the responsibility of a relationship any more .....

my father and sister live in Missouri... and they don't interfere..... I don't tell....

Sassie, Welcome to the family.
Drop around & get to know the folks.
Plenty of good people & we are all very open, also.

Yeap I have to call on my dates too and from their cell phone if it is a first date with that person. Kids are just looking out for us lol

I haven't had a date in so long I haven't had to worry about any of this.

You will girlie just keep your shield up lol

Welcome to my world
Mornin Everyone

Post that soft pic you have Twitch it might help. :) But you will have that date too. New Year coming up :)

Which pic are you talking about? This one or one of the others?

You got mail :) easier to write it lol

This one?

Thanks for the welcome... I'm working on getting on here more.. and meeting more people. Been kind of rough the past few months... a 7 year relationship ended with no warning.. he just didn't want the responsibility of a relationship anymore, my son married a woman he's only known a few months, met her face to face days before the wedding... she doesn't like me... said some nasty things to me. .so now my son isn't speaking to me till I apologize for not allowing her to "speak her mind".. she called me names that NO ONE calls me.... turned 50... dealing with a new health issue... had to move.. been very stressfull!!!

Ok.. enough sob story!!...

The last date I had my daughter called several times... mainly because I was giggling like a teenager she said.... and she was so happy for me. She even called her best friend... who's mother is my best friend to tell her.... at one point she texted me and asked when I was going to go home.. I texted back "never.. he's kidnapped me and I'm never coming home".. her response.... "make sure you are back to work on Monday so you can mail the presents for the grandkids!"....... can't you just feel the love!?!? lol

Hello and welcome Sassie

Thank you!!

Sassie your funny lol I feel the love lol.Hold your ground and just stay away if she cussed you. You didn't cuss her first right? He might not stay with her long just let him figure things out.

I like the third one the one on the end when your looking at the profile it is closer.

this is her 3rd or 4th marriage.. .and in all of them.. she's had problems with her mother in laws.... hmmmmmm what does that tell you!?!? My daughter reacted the same way I did, but my son forgave her.. he will not forgive me till I apologize, I can only hope he does see the light. They live in Florida... (as does my daughter).. my son is in the Air Force and he's at Hurlburt Field.... my daughter lives in Ocala.... and when this breakup happened.. my son in law said.. mom just say the word and I'll be up there to get you and you can live with us..... my son's wife's first response was... she is NOT going to live with us... and this we even before they were married... and I had said nothing about wanting to live with them! I got told of the marriage thru a text message.... while at work... and since I didn't respond right away... she got mad at me.... so it's not been good since the start.... anyway... at least my daughter is still around!! lol
