  Bashing the LW

  The reason why I would bash the LW is for this particular line:

  "Being kind of unattractive physically, she might have problem falling in love and getting married." You talk about misogyny, but the LW is guilty of girl-on-girl crime herself. So the FUCK what if this girl will never get married; heck, maybe she's a lesbian, LW. Ever thought of that?

  And I agree 100% with Allie that this girl doesn't necessarily have Asperger's or ADHD. I knew a girl in highschool who had questionable hygeine issues, who every time she got behind the wheel of the very expensive fully loaded VOLVO her parents got her, managed to get into a fender bender, overflowed the washing the machine on more than one occassion, almost burned down the kitchen cooking popcorn, and was pretty much an akward Sci-Fi reading freak. Though she was smart she was incredibly lazy and made a mess of her studies. She was a weird girl. I, personally loved her, but then I love freaks like that. Especially the introverted type; I get along really well with shy people. In my opinion, they make the best friends. Especially for extroverted freaks like me.

  If the LW chooses to stay with this family, she is going to have to stop having an expectation that this girl will be anything like she is; I mean, the LW is probably some natural beauty whose greatest achievement thus far seems to be glomming on to some rich older boyfriend. Fine and dandy. I wouldn't call her a gold digger, but she ain't messing with a...whatever. I don't judge her for that. (much) But if she wants to be in her boyfriends life, she needs to realize that his daughter is also a part of their life as well. FOREVER.
