I don't feel old enough to have a teenager! He's a really lovely kid though, never asks for anything, is kind, funny, hard working, honest and just all round great company. He's made up with his presents, I even got a thank you hug and he's not a huggy person.

Just wanted to share how excited I am for this next chapter with him 😁

I'm 36, it was my birthday on Sunday so plenty old enough in reality! He was due on my birthday, best late birthday present ever

I get you now OP…. 23 is pretty young! I was 30 so didn’t really get this feeling.

Enjoy the day… what do have planned for tonight?

I spilt with his dad about five years ago so he's had the morning with me, then he's going to his dad's after school. Thankfully we only live about a 15 minute walk away from each other so I'm going to his dad's after school too for a couple of hours then he's taking him out for dinner with his nan and aunt (I'm not going, wasn't invited! And not causing drama just because ex is a dick).

I had him all last weekend when it was my birthday and I have him this weekend too so I'm taking him and his best friend bowling on Saturday
