In 1989 wages she was making over $6 an hour he was $8 with 5 kids. This made sense to bring me in. Her kids where looking bad like ready to loose her kids kind thing. She told me "You are dating a married woman it comes with responsibilities!" In that was her kids so after I found out she would stand by the bathroom with a stop watch only giving her kids 5 min to shower before school. A time constraint yes but not a good thing I agreed to cover the water bill that was high anyway. Her kids faces changed they where like who is he why is he here to seeing the light. Her oldest daughter saw the gold ring and said "Track meet." I said "Horse meat?" LOL! Her mom told me her daughter wants to do track but they don't have the money for fees and all the stuff for it. And she pushed the paper toward me with her kids watching I grabbed the paper and her kids jumped in their seats realizing I am a good thing to them.
Her husband wanted out of the marriage too many kids for him and wanted me to replace him after the divorce but 5 kids! But after things became more stable he said he didn't want me to leave her because she would be stressed and with everything he would want to get out again. She let her kids walk home from school once like 5 miles because she was having like a breakdown on the couch. So I agreed to pick up some of her kids after their sports on the other side of town and all meet at a park together rotating every week so she had mom time with all them. Polyamory comes with responsibilities!
