Cold War Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Must be different around here. I see older people riding around in older cars, while the kids are riding around in new lease cars. You go by the H S and it looks like a new car lot. No one drove a new car when I was in H S. Even parents that could afford it, didn't buy their kid a new car. I see a lot of older people or my age raising their grand kids. Have a couple in right now, mid 60's , driving older Enclave . Raising 3 kids 15-6 cause mom is a pos. Edited November 27, 2019 by Cold War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising 3 kids 15-6 cause mom is a pos. Sad to say, but that's pretty common. Lots of drug addict parents that don't take care of their kids. Better than them going into foster homes. Guy who did my tile is 75 now and is raising his grandson because his daughter is a druggie. State tried to put him in a foster home but he fought it and he got custody. Kid went into foster care for a bit (by order of the state) and he didn't cooperate and was getting into trouble in school. He told the judge unless he when to live with his grandparents he would never do any school work and wouldn't behave. Said he hated being away from his family and there's no reason why his grandparents couldn't take care of him because they already have his whole life. I totally agree with him.

Lot of respect for guys like that. Same kind of thing here. Daughter didn’t want to give em Up because they were her meal ticket ( drug money) . They fought like hell to get them, kids wanted to go with them . cashed in retirement and back to work to support them. Said he couldn’t be happier because they are safe. Boomers get a lot of shit on here, but there are good/ bad people in all generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his ass lubed up with anal ease, holding a maglite. You'll know who it is and what he wants you to do with that maglite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has a brother who is a drug addicted loser. 5 kids, 4 of them are educated and successful and the other is a low life criminal. Inlaws raised his 3 kids since they were tots. He dropped them off one day and didnt come back. Probably the best thing he ever did for them. The kids mom is a real piece of work too. She left them before he did.

Its crazy the power these drugs can have over some. My wife and her brothers are super smart and all have very successful careers and if you ask any of them they will tell you the loser brother was way smarter than any of them. Its just crazy how someone with such natural gifts can throw it all away for such filth and misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great home , good family, every opportunity, threw it all away. crazy what some people can overcome too. As far as getting a shitty break, with loser parents and becoming successful adults.
