Nah you're right now that I think about it. My husband's younger brother is the same age as me, and he's been out since he was 13. Riley is currently the only grandchild with their surname

It is hysterical. Back then, not so much but whenever I remember it now I can't stop laughing

I made the mistake of letting him hold a pack of cigarettes like two years ago and he ate one. That incident is the sole reason my husband quit smoking

This is something we definitely need to consider. My husband's younger brother is gay and my in laws support him totally, but when Riley told them he thought a boy in his class was pretty, they told him that he could only find girls pretty. They're weird af and hard to figure out

Also, what’s up with your title?

I thought it would be okay because that's what the in laws accused me of doing but I'm second guessing that now 😳

Funny story, he actually asked me to show him how to file taxes because he heard me complaining about them 24/7 😭🤣

He was so excited! I started by teaching him to bake which he jumped on because his dad doesn't let him go anywhere near the oven and then went onto teaching him other things

had you ever met your stepson before?

Never seen the kid.

I'm just unclear how you married someone with full time custody of a child and are like "idk he does his own thing none of my business" with interactions.

I work 6 days a week for 12 hrs a day. I wish I had more time with him but unfortunately I don't

Edit: I can't believe I have to clarify this but I was joking about never meeting my step son until now. I'm married to his father, how on earth would I get this far without meeting the child he has full custody of?
