Ever drawn so much that your fingers cramp like crazy and you're sure you'll end up with crooked fingers? I can taste the charcoal on my skin.

[ FRIENDS* ]

So, is there a standard operating procedure for when your super awesome boyfriend suddenly has a teenage son? I am not asking for a friend, I am asking for me. Because I'm still trying to work out how to deal with this.

*if you've talked to brooke before, you're in the filter (luke included)

	I don't think this place has standard anything. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I need a manual or something. 'What to do when your boyfriend gains 10 years overnight', or 'how to handle a teenage son appearing'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People coming from different times makes everything weird. Someone could have a kid turn up who's older than them. I don't think it would be easy getting used to seeing someone as an adult when you're used to them being a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was definitely weird enough when everyone started aging and deaging all random like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. There were lots of kids around. Maybe think of it like a different relative staying? Like a nephew or something? That might make it less weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh so many. Yeah, that's possible. I mean, Ben is pretty okay, it's not like he's all 'grr' about anything. It's just so strange how this just pops up out of nowhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't even know how proper parents and kids act. But I guess it's not like you have to pretend like you're any kind of parent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not a terribly good judge of 'healthy' parental relationships either. But no, it's not like I need to try and be a step-mom or anything. I mean, it's not like he's 5 or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent)
