This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You wouldn't be raising someone else's kids...you'd be raising your own if that makes sense.
Until they hit 17, tell you they hate you and "ur not my real dad" and steal your car.
Yeah because every kid does that
This has the feeling of experience, not generalization.
Even if they're your biological kid, you get "I hate you! You're ruining my life!" before they steal your car. I don't know that that's much better. And it's about as true.
It doesn't biologically which is what they were talking about
The problem is that step parents have zero legal rights. If the marriage or relationship doesn’t work out, the step parent loses their entire family forever. It’s a raw deal for people brave enough to raise someone else’s kids. I could only ever consider this if I were able to legally adopt. That way, heaven forbid, things don’t work out with the relationship, they’re still my kids.
