Funny thing is that I never wanted children, but there is just something about black or mixed kids that melts my heart :smt060
I'm becoming a bit of a bitch lately and i dont know if it's because i'm in my 40s and suffering from a male version of menopause. The other day i was standing with my son who will be 14 soon and we were shaving in front of the mirror and i remembered i did that with my dad eons ago and i got emotional with tears in ma eyes. Now last week i go with my daughter to the annual daddy-daughter dance in her school and while dancing with ma princess who is 12 i realised she was growing into a woman and the moment i broke was when she hugged me closely and told me "i love you daddy" with Luther's song dance with my father playing in the background. Damn i'm tearing up while typing this. I need surgery to deal with my tear ducts.
Man i thought i was a cold motherfucker but i am turning to mush Damn bruh couldnt you get Forrest Whitaker wiping his lazy eye or some shit like that? I hate this corny dude.
Awww...it happens. Kids have a way of getting deep into your heart and soul. It's part of being human. Men seem to get hard with it at the point of life you are at too.
Does any of you have neighbours who care a little too much about your life? I have this old man living downstairs who often takes packages for me when I'm not home. Everytime I come to pick them up, he starts asking questions about my job and other things that are really none of his business. I know he is probably lonely because his wife died more than a year ago, and that's why I'm always friendly and polite, but it's really starting to get on my nerves. How can I stop him without being rude? Ideas anyone?
I think it's good that you're nice to him, and I agree that he's probably lonely. I really don't know how to make him stop short of being not-so-nice, but I'd make a point of not sticking around much longer than it takes to say hello, get your package and say good evening. I totally get that he'd likely continue trying to engage you in conversation. I'd give short yes/no answers, and politely thank him and move on before he can say much more.
Just make it that you are always in a hurry if you'd rather not talk. If he asks things you don't want to answer, change the subject. When people start asking me questions that are invasive, I will say things like - oh why do you ask? or the like and usually that shifts them. There's also nothing wrong with saying...I don't feel comfortable answering that. I try to keep things on a non-personal level. If there is an office on the property, maybe you could ask that your packages are delivered to the office instead? Or maybe a different neighbor? If you would like to talk, simply turn things around and ask him questions. People usually love to talk about themselves and tell their stories. You may never get out of there though.
Unfortunately there are no offices in our building and the mailman leaves the packages wherever he feels like. If I could chose, I would rather pick them up at the post office. I usually don't mind talking to my neighbours, but others don't ask things like "so, when are YOU gonna get married?" :?
Tell him you stabbed your last husband for talking to another woman. I'm sure his look would be priceless.
