Well, hello world!...

[Luke]

Hello everyone!

My name is Luke, by forum alias and by birth certificate

A little about me;

I am 27 years old, for another month at least, work in the IT industry, have 2 children (A boy and a girl, Riley and Kenzie, who are 6 and 5 respectively) and live with my partner who has a 22 month old son from a previous relationship.

I am unsure why I am here, but here I am. I guess deep down I feel I need to know I am doing the right things with my children (Split with their mother 4 years ago) and there is also issues with my partners son and her ex making stupid demands in court (Ended due to abusive behaviour against both of them)

Hoping I find some answers, inspiration and idea's from like minded people.

Glad to be aboard

ahoy Luke...ok, I can't keep up the nautical schtick...

Welcome. I think you'll find a lot of step parenting and issues surrounding various relationships here. One of the things I love about this place is that it's more "Parent" centric than "Mommy" centric. Someplaces I tried made me feel wierd for being an involved caring dad. I love learning from both dad's and mom's here.

So, look forward to seeing you post.

BTW, I'm Ray, married 49 yo dad to two boys, 5 and 10 in Iowa.

Aww, can't keep it up? I was hoping for some forum based pirate fancy dress

Maybe I should have included my country of residence -- oops!

That would be England for me. Yes, that little strange shaped thing between America and... gah, my geography is diabolical... The country the other side

A pleasure to meet you, Ray.

the shape isn't the only strange thing... ;-)What part of England?

All ready for the Olympics? Ready for people to stop asking you?

Are you a football fan? Who do you support?

Hey Luke, welcome to the forums. I work in IT/Computer Programming and when I saw your thread title, I thought of the classic basic computer program many C/C++ developers first write. Then found out you were in IT and chuckled to myself. Not sure if that was intentional or not, but welcome.

EDIT:

I'm a 30 year old father of a 14 month old son

Sadly my field is nothing as superior as the C family, but merely PHP development, but we can't all be perfect ;P

And no, it wasn't intentional, but the fact I had just decided to drop a website and leave it's main page as;

<CODE>

<i>
</i>&lt;?php echo 'Hello world!'; ?&gt;

</CODE>

May have had something to do with it -- oops!

And thank you for the welcome
