Shack-in-law! LOL. That's funny. I was the - product of an out-of-wedlock Posted: Mar 18th, 2018 - 12:24 am In Reply to: my aunt Becky introduced her son's live-in - alimony
pregnancy and the adoption was closed. This was in the mid 1960s. To this day, I am the family secret of whom the birth parents do not talk about to their family members. The extended family has no idea that I exist. My birth mother didn't even bother shacking up. In her case, she WAS a sl*t. As I learned more and more about the family Stone, I was very grateful that she chose to use the local Social Services and give me away. She is a bit off her rocker and I am glad that she wasn't my role model.
We had one girl in my graduating class (senior level) who got pregnant and she was socially shunned and we never saw her during our final year. She ultimately adopted out her baby. That was the mindset at that time. Young girls were raised to be a housewife and you were told to keep your knees together. Boys were the enemy.
I have raised my child with my old-fashioned values. I get complicated all the time about him being so nice, a gentleman and full of manners. You are darn tootin' he is going to walk around like a classy man. He will hear about it from me if he doesn't.
Shacking up. Unfortunately, the majority of people now hop from one relationship to another without either prescreening the person and/or not choosing to work on a relationship. It's too easy to give up and move on.
Life is different than the 1960s, for sure.
