I have a two year old son and i am sparated with my ex and have been with a wonderful man who has taken the father role to the best it could be. I am very thankful every day that he is in our life and wouldn't have it any other way. I am glad you are enjoying the joys of fatherhood and envolving yourself in a child who needs a father figure.

I'm a Stepdad to three girls, although we had a very tough first year, things have gotten great, going on 6 yrs together, yeah we have our moments, but all families do, complete, or blended all families can work, ours took a little longer than some and shorter than others.
I love my/our girls with all my heart, and am so very proud of them and what they accomplish not only in school, but here at home, as a step, we'll always get the "your not my REAL dad" every once in a while, but for us those days are getting farther and farther apart.

Sounds like you are a good guy. Very respectable!
I had mine taken away------unless it is my weekend to have him. Add it up and it's not very many days, but I'll take what I can get. My stupid X bitch offers to let me have him two weeks in the summer, but I am working my ass off (7 days/week, 14-16 hrs/day, I farm too), and the farm is not the safest place for children when they are young.
You da man!

Dude the farm is the best place for kids. They have nothing but fun out here. I turned the 12 yr old loose on the tractor this year. Sure he wiped out a few rows of corn but didn't we? I just remind them if the like there fingers don't go sticking there hands it stuff. I only have one area thats off limits to them on the farm.

I am a stepdad to two fine boys. Took on the father role from day one.
The real father hasn't tried to see them or talk to them in over three years.
Not to mention child support. We won't go there. Hopefully soon I will be able to call them my own as I am adopting them.
No farms here to turn them loose on.

You know, that's the part I am scared of, getting hurt. He is getting older now, and should be able to handle it. At first he was too young and there was too much stuff to get into. I don't have a wifey now so he has no where to go when it is nap time and it is over 100* in the middle of the day. I do take him in the boat a lot and almost have him driving my small ski-boat by himself.
Sorry to get a bit off topic. You guys rock!!!
