Funny thing age how it creeps up on you. They say a man is as young as the woman he feels, mines 10 years younger, but sometimes I feel pension age.

oh dear stepson problems :eek: thankfully I have never ever never had problems with mine just a great relationship -but that was desperation on your part -you should have stood your ground and be firm -did your oh support you or son?
TBH step daughter when 13 told school I beat her up -rubbish that evening Gestapo Social Service lady at our fron door demanding entry -never had so much stress in all my life my oh was in full support -we never did get an apology from the Gestapo

Very, very diffiicult being a step parent, can't do right for doing wrong, it's too easy for them to throw the old well you're not my dad in your face. I get on alright with the lad now. It was only last year when my eldest was 29 that he said "Dad thanks for everything you've done and I can understand why you were so strict about certain things".

Tissues!!!

Even harder on the natural parent of the child, they're stuck in the middle, but quite rightly will more often than not side with the child.

:mad: :mad: just looking on vw forums etc and the problem I have is an inheriant fault on other models jsut as they are out of the 3 year warranty and one guy has written to the SMMT that VW need to do a recall due to safety on the ABSunit --thats why the dealer has 1 expensive ABS unit in stock:mad:

rest assured I shall be on the VWE tomorrow even though jsut out of warranty it is not fit for purpose -Watchdog even ?

Back to a bit of culture I'm surprised Olivia's taste is so classical, I thought she'd be a Walter Gropius (unfortunate name) and Bauhaus fan.

now I though being so "dominant" :rotfl: that she would be in to heavy metal like Metallica and AC/DC and that she fancies Jon Bon Jovi:D
Sadly I am not a classical man :eek:
