2 hours agoFor me personally, I would never date someone that had kids. For one, I don’t like kids and am childfree by choice, and two, having been the kid of the parent that started dating after their divorce and ended up with an “evil stepmother” figure in my life, I would never want to be such a person in a child’s life. I don’t care how awesome a step parent you think you’d be, you are infringing upon the relationship between an adult and their biological child, and let me tell you, that 9/10 times, that kid will never like you, whether they state that out loud or keep it to themselves.
Took a joy ride on a bulldozer. We built jumps with it and then went over them as fast as that thing would go. No one got hurt and it was a great time, but I think back to how dangerous and stupid it was (no seat belts, one person drove and the rest of us just held onto the cab for dear life, right above the tracks), and realize how lucky we were that nothing bad happened.
