After the last time I wrote, I decided to let SS stay in the basement because of course, I didn’t want to be the bad guy either. However, it is becoming clearer and clearer that SS may need to move out. 

Now, because rent is so high here in nyc, I did want for him to apply for affordable housing coops. But I don’t know if I can wait that long for him to leave.

So in a nutshell, ss20 works at a thrift store for minimum wage 30 hours a week. We bought him a car for his bday, 5k and he put in almost 2k. In a matter of less than a month he managed to get into 3 accidents, on each Friday after the car purchase and the car has been out of commission since the last accident where he alleges someone ran into him. 

Hello all, 

Oldest SS is now 18 and should have graduated in March, except now he’s graduating in June as he states he failed a class. It looks like he’s starting to realize the boxing thing may not pan out for him so he’s now decided to become a rapper.

He’s already made 2 songs which his mother helped to put in ITunes. She’s also helped him create his album cover, yet still owes over 30k in child support (125 a week or so for both skids). Tonight he will be in the studio recording another hit from midnight until 4am.

Here's an update for you all on my step life. SS17 has for the past few years stated that he's going to make a living as a professional boxer. I have tried to convince him to go to college or think of a back up just in case but he won't hear of it and says that anything else will just take up his time and block him from following his dreams. He also felt that the high school he was in was too ghetto and convinced his mom to switch his schools.
