The man child: can they change?

[bemorejackieweaver]

Just that really. Has anyone ever seen a man child (like a married one in his forties with kids) change into an actual adult man? If you have seen it, how did it happen?

Blimey, I thought mine was a bit of a man child but yours takes it to a whole new level 🤦‍♀️ get out while you can.

No.

Um, wouldn't you be better off with one of those trained service dogs who help people who have movement problems?

No, in my experience they get worse & you will be driven insane.

And for how many of these 20 years has he not contributed money. But if he was the SAHP that makes it not so bad.

@Bananalanacake Of the 23 years we have been together, he has been a part-time SAHP for 4 years in total I think. Both DCs went to nursery fairly young part-time to ahem...give him a break. I carried on working full time. The one useful thing he did do was night feeds 6 nights a week for both DCs (I slept through). Mind you, I did pretty much everything else.

I don't think he has ever contributed to the mortgage or bills. He pays for the petrol, that's it. To drive the car I bought.

OP I’m trawling manchild threads. How are things now??

Oh god. Is this what can happen when you buy your non-birthday children gifts on their siblings' birthdays? I feel vindicated.
