Jug or JT = Jug Twitty (Natalee's Step-Father - married to Beth)


this is not directed to or at you, but Twitty is NOT her step-father.....he is only married to Natalees Mother......Natalee has a loving and ever-present Father who was never absent, estranged, or deadbeat in Natalees life. It is less than ethical for the press to pretend that jug is her stepfather, and difficult for me to understand why jug plats along with it.....Dave, of course, is not into such pettiness, and is secure in his roleand presence in Natalees life and the job immediately at hand. When one has a Father such as Dave, the idea of a step-father is preposterous.

If not her step-father, what relationship is he (Jug) to Natalee? My parents divorced when I was 5 and I later had a step-father. I also saw my (biological) father twice a week. It's as if -- all of a sudden -- it's wrong or dysfunctional to admit to having a step-parent. Sheesh.

You are talking to the wrong person about this man not being her step-father in you're opinion. He is her step-father and I myself have 3 wonderful step-children (so your post offends me to some degree since I am a step-parent).

How you feel about him or your opinion really means nothing to me, but I think you are stepping out on something that is no concern of yours and I am not quite sure why you think your thoughts about Jug really need to be posted here or to anyone. The fact is Natalee has a step-father and his name is Jug Twitty who is married to Natalee's mother. This was pointed out in a Short Cut list and I am not sure why this would set you off to make your opinion known to me (remember you put my FR name in the TO: field)

Excuse me, but a stepfather is a man who is married to one's mother, who is not the natural father. Jug is indeed Natalee's stepfather in every respect, and Dave Holloway is not diminished in any way by referring to him correctly as such. What an odd axe to grind.

I think that any man married to the mother of a child who is from a prior marriage is a stepfather. Seems to me both men are important to her. Jug has sure been there non stop as has her father. It doesn't diminish a father for a stepfather to be there,,you can love more than one person.

Excuse me, but the

HELL

are you talking about?

I certainly hope that because MY two stepdaughters have a good mother, that I am NOT a stepmother -- and a damn good one to boot.

Jug IS Natalee's STEP father. What would you have Natalee call him? This is my mother's husband? This is the second man my mother married? There is nothing derogatory about having a step father, especially a loving one.

Are you off your rocker? My stepchildren have a loving and devoted mother. But that doesn't take away the fact that they lived with me from the time they were 13 until they went to college. I'm considered 'nother mother.

Your post is just an astoundingingly ignorant post.
