My partner and I have been together a little over 3 years. She has 2 kids. 12 and 7. I absolutely love the 12 year old, however, cannot stand the 7 year old. He is beyond comprehension to me. I love kids, I mean really love to be around kids, but Ryan pushes me beyond my limits in my head. He screams for no reason, yells, whines like I have never seen a child whine. ALL THE TIME, IT NEVER ENDS. He rarely listens, he's manipulative and annoying.
