At what point in your relationship with the new woman did you finally start busting some ass?? My GF and I have been together for roughly 5 months now and she has two little boys the EXACT same age as mine ages 5 and 2. I already look at them as my own and long story short these two little ones haven’t really had a “Father Figure” consistently in their life at all. He treated their mother like shit when they were together and can’t get off the dope. Just a straight woman beating meth head.. total SCUM of the earth human being pretty much. Anyways when they are with their mother she disciplines them and whips their ass on a daily basis. When they go to her Ex in laws house they let them get away with everything and don’t really discipline them at all/if ever. They very rarely ever go to their father’s house with his new gf and that’s when his mother actually lets them go over there when he’s supposedly doing better and “clean”… which is ALWAYS very short lived. Back to the topic above though, her oldest this past weekend was acting out and kept bullying his younger brother, I’ve normally sat back and let her deal with it because I was still in that “funky” time spot of if its “my place” to do something yet or not… but I had finally had enough of his shit and when she went to get him I just instinctfully grabbed her and sat her back down and just tore his little ass up and put him in his room… that was the “first” time I had actually REALLY got a hold of him.. I could tell she’s been wanting me to do that for a while now but just wasn’t 100% sure if it was “my place” to do so just yet. She thanked the shit outta me afterwards and after 30 minutes in his room we all had a pleasant rest of our evening.. no more bullying “that night” atleast… So that was at the 5 month marker.. what was everybody else’s when you finally started cracking the whip?
