Being a late bloomer is ok, but probably most important for a kid’s development is to be a present and engaged parent. Thankful to have the opportunity to live and work from a place of service, wrestle with my ego every day

Jesus man... All of these could have been separate posts and conversations for months and maybe years to come.

Why do you hate this thread so much?

No, she was an adult and I was a minor. I understand now why it shouldn't have happened but it didn't feel wrong at the time and when I think back on the situation today I don't feel hurt or victimized by it

Did you tell anyone in your family about it at any point? If so, how old were you when you told them about it?

[Jorge]

No I didn't tell anyone in my family. It didn't seem particularly significant beyond the usual "yay I lost my V-card" thing

Totally makes sense. You seem pretty close to your family, so I just wondered if it ever got discussed.

I certainly wouldn't ever say shit to anyone in my family had it been me.

Holy cow I did not know eating peanuts shell and all was a thing. I also do not know what spoonerism is or what it's referring to.

It’s not a thing. Doug’s just trying to validate his weird habit.

oh, its a thing
