My 14 year old godson is actually my biological child. About 16 years ago, I disappeared in the middle of the night to start a new life away from my toxic family and went no contact with them for 3 years. I ended up getting pregnant from a one night stand. I was homeless at the time so keeping my son was not an option. My ex-best friend and her husband had been struggling to start a family of their own so they offered to adopt my child. Plot twist: My husband and I currently have custody of my child and his 4 siblings. Their parents are in jail for domestic violence and child neglect. EDIT: Holy bananas! I did not expect this to blow up. I want to clarity a few things: 1. My son does not know I am his biological mother but we plan to tell him soon. My husband and I plan to petition to adopt him and his siblings. Our lawyer warned us that his parentage would come up during the process. I want my son to hear it from me. He is currently battling PTSD due to the incident that brought the kids into our care. We are working with his therapist to find the best way to tell him the truth without causing him more trauma. He mental health is our top priority. 2. My ex-friend has endometriosis which affects fertility. Pregnancy can put endometriosis into remission for some women. She was one of the lucky ones. Once in remission, she had no trouble conceiving the other 4 kids. 3. My husband and I are raising 10 children. We are in the process of adopting my 12 year old cousin and took custody of her two older sisters last week. We also have a set of biological 1 year old twins. Eighteen months ago, we had **zero** kids.

Facilitated a mutual friend and my girlfriend at the time having a full blown affair behind my back. Dude would invite me to lunch/dinner/movies/concerts/etc so that I’d be guaranteed to have plans so my girlfriend and the other dude could go on dates without worrying about getting caught. Dude was my best friend for a decade and an ‘uncle’ to my daughter. Instantly hated him, haven’t spoken to him now in a longer amount of time than I knew him.
Hey Pandas, What's A Story You've Always Wanted To Tell But No One Ever Asked You To?
I mow lawns in my neighborhood for money, and boy this story p*sses me off: I offered to mow my new neighbors lawn, and she agreed. Yes! New customer! Here's the catch: by the time her lawn needed to be mowed, I mowed her front yard and TRIED to go to the back yard, and then the one thing I feared would happen happened. Let me explain: her house was built pretty close to her next door neighbor, so the space between her house and the fence was pretty slim. So what the builders did was put the AC units on that side of the house, which was pretty reasonable. And what do they do next? Put the ONLY gate to the backyard on the same side as the slim path with the AC units. And I only figured this out when it had to be mowed. So now, I could only mow the front yard, and had to wait WEEKS for them to put in another gate. By the time they put in the gate, the grass in the backyard was halfway up my shin. It. Was. A.W.F.U.L. I use a bag mower, so every 3 seconds I had to empty the bag and do it again. It took all day and I filled up 4 55-gallon lawn bags. If you ask me what the worst day of my life is, that would be my answer.
