Why didn't you move to Scotland? How did it come about, a kid in Scotland?
we both lived at the same housing co-op country farm house, kinda like a commune, just more grown up (mortgage to pay etc), in Scotlandjust south of Glasgow, that is where we met, fell in love and nine months later our boy was born at home, she is half scottish, and it made sense to bring the Lad up as Scottish, since he was born in scotland to a mainly scottish mother, and a wider scottish family/ community, and he has a Scottish last name, then eventually we both split up , because I kept shagging other women and I moved down to suffolk, where my mum lived, while she moved to south west scotland, our relationship never rekindled into proper love( I did try but it is hard to regain trust) so, we just continued to have great sex whenever we saw each other.
But great sex is not enough to hold two people together it seems, Maybe I s
hould have showed more commitment by moving close to them, but that would have meant leaving my mum to the wolves
I never moved up there because my work was down here which involved keeping my Mum's business running, Mum used to have a posh, bar/restaurant, and event space at a country hall.
mum had to give the place up after my stroke because she couldn't run it by herself, sadly, (too old) she is also very stubborn, and set in her ways so the thought of getting a new business partner was right out! which was the problem to start with, and why I had to step in.
it was a very lovely place, and I miss all the posh daughters.
It was a tough position to be in, but I had to look after my Mum first, and settle for just visiting my gf, and son as often as I could, like I say, sometimes 3 to 4 times a week, plus I had 2 other kids in yorkshire that I had to visit, and spend time with too.
Now our boy is reaping the benefits of free education, and healthy university student bursaries, plus he is remembered in everybody's Wills up there, I swear that he will leave uni richer than when he went in, and he had a fair amount saved to start with due to an invested Child Trust Fund money sheme, with some extra that we, and family added to the CTF scheme amount
when that matured for his 18th birthday he got almost 8k, one relative died and he was given another 5k on top of that, and he is now living well below his means in a student housing co-op in the big city, so is actually managing to save as a student, he always has been a Jammy bugger, he's no Dafty,
part of the housing co-op's rent includes being given bare essentials, that are bought from ethical ,wholesalers, like all the housing co-ops do, from places like SUMA wholefoods, and green city in glasgow, they even get given, organic produce, it's a really good deal living there, with all bills inc for only£388 per month, with your own furnished bedroom,and minimal sharing apart from the shared communal areas, he got in there easily, mainly because he was born at a co-op that shares strong links with other co-ops, including the student co-op where he lives now, he was real lucky to get offered a place right before he would no longer be allowed to stay in halls, like I said, he is so jammy, his application was *very* good though, and all off his own back we didn't have to cajole him at all, very proud of him I am, much better than paying huge city rents,esp where he is
he is currently studying English, because his mum's dad is an author, and he wants to be just like him
his great grandad was the first in the family to go to university which heavily influenced his mum's dad, so there is quite the tradition of going to uni to do english now for the scottish men along his maternal line, which has now come full circle with our son, going to the same uni as his great grandfather did, who broke out of working class to become educated.
Our boy has a big dick and a great sense of humour too.
Just like his dad.
he is emotionally stable, and is a swimmer, not a sinker.
Just like his mum
