So i read this out loud to Sannion over breakfast today and gave him my opinion (seriously, let the guy go. you can find someone else to screw, someone without kids. it’s unfair of him to expect you to be stepmother to his children when you’ve clearly articulated you don’t even like let alone want kids, even if you do know how to set boundaries which they obviously need) and he says i should have my own advice column, where I am perfectly blunt.

I about laughed until i peed.

    I’m reading more of the site i linked to –overall quite good–but just read a letter from a woman who is about to have her first child and her husband is pressuring her to make peace with her abusive father. um…the advice given was good but i’d put it like this: not making peace with this asshole to make YOU comfortable. fuck off. Keep bringing this up or go behind my back and i’ll divorce you so quickly you won’t know what happened, motherfucker.” but that’s how I get when my boundaries are consistently violated. So not sure i’d make the best advice columnist. lol

    Oh I don’t know. Some people need the unvarnished, unsugarcoated, blunt as a baseball bat, subtle as an atomic bomb Truth.

    Honestly, and this is coming from a person with kids, I completely agree with you. Whether or not to have children is a big one and you can’t just go into a relationship with that big of a difference, no matter how much you love each other. I would never date someone who hated kids for instance because I do have kids, likewise if I didn’t want kids I wouldn’t date someone who had or wanted kids.

    You know, for someone who’s so good at setting boundaries, she doesn’t seem to have been good at setting them with the father. “No, I don’t want to be a mom” sounds like a pretty firm boundary to me, and you can actively enforce it by not being around his children. Problem solved.
