It was one of those on/again/off/again split so 7-8 years is an estimate...my son was 11 when it all started and he turned 12 right after it was off for good so I use that as my guide. He does work, although not often and is not paid well (from what he tells me anyway). My son has it made, I know. I just want him to do what he wants without feeling like he has been pushed into it. You can call me a pansy too, if you want. I just want everyone to be happy....
My boyfriend tells me all the time to relax, that things will sort themselves out.
