I agree he lives with my mom and she/we kind of enable him because he is the baby (21). My mom is always like ohhhh I don't want him to go out and sell drugs or get on drugs or make babies yada yada yada so she allows him to freeload off everyone. SORRY CHAL Not trying to take over the "Chally Shares" thread ;D Ok then add the don't sell drugs to the after brick speech

OMG that is alot. Wow how is he gone feel when that child support starts hitting him and when he can't pay they take him to jail. Ughhhh I feel for him he sounds like my 50+ year old uncle that is going thru a similar baby mama close in age issue. He is only 16 he has sooo much to live for. There is much more drama to follow this situation. I will be praying for him and his sanity. I'm confused. Your 50+ year old uncle is only 16? Rare, get back in here and clear this up. lol The money is not an issue. I always find it a bit amusing when people focus on the financial part of "child support" when it's about way more than money. I think the what's saddening in this case is that he has to alter (not give up, alter) his plans and find a different, and more child friendly way of achieving his goals. Instead of leaving town for school and enjoying college as a carefree undergrad, he has to attend the local university and possibly pass on things he planned to become a part of once there. He has to learn adult responsibilities before he's ready, and he still has to work hard to ensure that these kids do have a bright future. He has support regardless. My fam truly believes in the whole "it takes a village" concept so you best believe those kids will be super straight. They'll just have to figure out how to explain the whole "we're siblings/cousins" thing when they're older.

No my 50+ year old uncle has baby mama drama similar to your 16 year old cousin but he has over 10 kids with two new ones on the way by 2 women. so he didn't learn then and he still hasn't learned. Chal, what's an "illage" Lol ( I know I know)

ahhhh @ the clarification. lol and you know what an illage is, woman. Don't play. lol
My cousin lives with his dad. He tries to blame his behavior on the divorce, but he started acting out years before there was ever trouble in paradise. In fact, one could argue that his behavior was one of the triggers of said trouble. My cousins blames everyone else for why he does things (don't like moms boo. don't like dad's chick) but the minute they do things to fix/change it (ie: breaking up with boo/chick) he finds another excuse for what he does. The sad thing is his little brother (9) is now starting to act out. The good thing is this time around, my aunt ain't going. She says one problem child is one too many. It's enough trying to fix what's wrong with the 16 year old. She had to cut this extra stuff out now.

So last night while chilling with my gym crew, i had the pleasure of watching this guy spit game to the chick on the Ab Cruncher. He thought he was all cute with his big muscles, firm physique, and super tight muscle shirt (no Eddie Long) with NUPE written across the chest**.
So chick tells him that she no longer dates Kappas because that was so "high school" to her. He was like what you mean? She said that while in high school she dated a lot of Kappas and since being in college she's moved on to bigger and better things (her words, not mine). You could tell that he was a bit peeved when he said, "Girl, you smoking. What's better than a Kappa?!?"
She look at that fool and said, "Silly rabbit, Nupes are for kids."
Everybody over there died laughing. Shoot, he couldn't help but laugh himself.
**Fraternity muscle shirts? Never had I ever seen 'nalia like this. Whoever made it needs to be slapped.

My workout tights are now baggy tights. The natural high/energy has been a positive motivator in this whole diet and exercise thing, but to actually SEE progress is amazing.
I'm gonna up my treadmill incline to level 5 (i think) thoses calories come off so much faster.

I call this one: #curacaoskinny. By the end, I'm hoping to be able to fit back into the jeans I wore when I was studying abroad 2.5 years ago. There will be a couple more after that, but I'm not worrying about those for now.

That's hot! My goal is to get back into my prom dress. Once I get there I can get it cut and designed into a cute lil after 5 dress. My ultimate goal is a couple sizes smaller than that so getting it altered to fit again wouldn't be a problem.

This lady just called my cell because she found the number in his phone. She goes on and on about how I need to leave him alone and they're trying to work things out (how if he's still out collecting phone numbers) and she's tired of all the women trying to come between them and she fought one b**ch and she'll fight another. Don't let her find out who I am, she's gonna track me down and beat my a$$, and all that jive.
Me - Lady, who is your husband? Her - L***** W**********. Me - The L***** W********** who works for (insert company name here)? Her - Yea, that's him. You know him? Me - I'm his boss.
dial tone
she hung up on me. lol should I tell him or shouldn't I?

After the engagement announcement everybody and their mamas had something negative to say about her marrying him. Then had the nerve to get mad when she didn't break up with him because they said so.
During the planning stages HE PLANNED EVERYTHING!. He pick the wedding party, the dresses, the suits, HER DRESS, the venue, the date, the time, the honeymoon, EVERYTHING.
A few months ago, my cousin asked Nana if she she wanted her (cousin) to buy her (Nana) dress. Nana said, "No, cause I ain't coming. I don't like him. I'm not supporting this union. A few weeks ago, Nana called and said, "You can go'n buy the dress. I'll be there so when Passa say 'is there anyone here who think they shouldn't marry" I'm raising my hand."
Closer to the wedding: My cousins 20 yr old daughter lives with her. The plan was after the wedding she was leaving the house to her daughter and she move in with her new hubby. He and the daughter got into it and he tried to put her out. They were beefing for a while, thus creating rumors that the wedding would never happen.
tbc....

Night before, the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner went so smoothinly, everyone was thinking "maybe we were wrong. Perhaps everything will be ok." It stormed that night and early that morning, so their garden wedding had to be moved inside. A lot of us got up that morning to go help redecorate the reception hall to make room for the actual wedding. My cousin (bride) was frustrated because his (groom) sister was trying to run stuff. They were at each others throat. Groom came in trying to run stuff. Bride was like, "This is MY wedding it's gonna be how I want it." Bride started crying. Groom got mad and started yelling and cussing and fussing. Bride walked out of the room and went to the parking lot. Groom follows. Bride's daughter follows. Gran says, "go get her (daughter)," so I follow. Messy people looking for them to break up anyway follow. Bride gets in car and starts it. Groom trying to catch up with Bride. Daughter in front of Groom saying, "Just leave her alone. Let her go. Give her some space." Groom curses Daughter and turns to walk to his car and follow in case Bride drives off. Daughter follows Groom. Groom turns around. Daughter punches Groom in the face, followed by a quick 1-2 combo. Groom moves to hit Daughter back. Daughter dips, sways, ducks, and dodges. Then starts raining blows left and right. Bride comes out of no where screaming, "You trying to fight my daughter!!! " Bride throws blows. Daughter is still throwing blows. They all end up on the ground. Groom's sister and Bride's aunt starts fighting. Groom's nephew and Bride's little cousin start fighting because their moms are fighting. 2 clear dudes run up and pulls Groom away from Bride and Daughter saying that they were not gonna let him stand there and fight any women. Groom swings on clear and is quickly put in some kind of wrestling hold while the other threatens to call the police. Bride is pulled away and put in her car. Bride's daughter pulled away and thrown into my car. Gran is yelling at me to take her straight home. Groom and sister are yelling the wedding is off. Some kinda way we all end up at Bride's house. Everyone is asking what next. No one has answers. At 5:30 the decision is made to just have a get together/party since fam cam in from all over and the food for the reception was paid for and possibly on the way. Everyone goes home to get dressed. At 6 the call comes in that the wedding is still on. Try to get there by 7.

the actual wedding...
I was one of the greeters/seaters. Everyone was suppose to be seated according to a prearranged seating chart. His folks didn't want to sit with ours and vice versa. My cousin, the other seater/greeter was acting scared. I said forget that. If you don't want to sit here, you can sit in the lobby to see if another seat is available once everyone arrives. If not, you just SOL.
During the procession, his sister talked the whole time trying to run stuff. Get over here. Walk like this. Stand right there.
When the song for the Bride's entrance came on, her brother was standing up there straight grooving. I'm talking body rocking, lip singing, acting like he was on somebody's stage.
During the actual ceremony, Rev. Hunt literally said that the Groom had been officially initiated into the family, jumped in like a gang. There were people who didn't know what had happened so he basically put everything on blast.
Everything was cool after that until some random dude with a backback and a big branch looking thing came in and kept asking all of the women, "Are you the daughter of Zion? I'm looking for the daughter of Zion. Do you know the daughter of Zion?" Then he lies down with his forehead touching the floor moving his arms from straight out to his sides to over his head.
My cousin T.O. (the trigga happy one) grabbed him and was like, you gots ta get up outta hea with taht, bruh. He and 3 other cousins walked the dude out. All we could here was dude yelling, "Ok, sir. Ok. Sir. I'm just looking for a higher power. I'm looking for my daughter of Zion. I'll leave, Sir. I'm just looking for a higher power."
To say that day was weird would be an understatement. I just wish some of my folks were member of this board so they could tell yall. They have me rolling when the re-tell the story.

I put this on EVERYTHING I love. The whole time I'm sitting there thinking, this has got to be the most ignorant form of souther coonery I've ever witnessed in my life. I swear, If my cousin wasn't my fb friend I would spark that conversaion with someone else just to prove it. For the most part everyone was making lil slick comments on fb and twitter like, dang, they really did it or hell, after all that it can't get no worser (yes he put worser).
My cousin doesn't act like that though. She was the uber educated super prissy one. The went-to-college-pledge-a-sorority-graduated-in-three-and-a-half-years-with-top-honors-and-is-now-vice-principal-at-a-prestigious-private-school. But that heffa has a mean streak. She's good at hiding it, but when it comes out....
This was just... straight up southern style coonery.
