hang in there man. way to fight for your rights as a dad. I wouldnt put up with her crap. You have ever right to see and care for your kids as she does. If you keep your social life (rocker/parties) on the days you dont have the kids then its non of her friggin business. I would do all i could to fight for custoday. Your kids need you too. Good luck
Omg i had a mean new york steak tonite....marinated it over night. Cooked it on the bbq...dame was it good. With a baked potatoe and all the trimmings too, bacon bits, sourcream, chives...oh ya. supper should be like this every night.
come on over. i like that dish. All chicken dishes are yummy to me. I make a good chicken parmesan. Its easy.
Can i cook? well i am ok...nothing special but can make some dishes. I worked in a group home so i picked up some cooking skills there.
My fav foods? hmmm aside from chicken dishes...i love salmon. In the summer i bbq it. i cover the salmon is olive oil, garlic, herbs like dill and and slice lemon then wrap it in tin foil and pop it on the bbq. yummmy stuff.
That is not the case for all though. Correct. i am sure you'll agree with that.
Of course things are differnt in person. We are just chatting here. I think your experiences have put a negative damper on your views, understandably so.
i think being optimistic is important. Having good values is important and being reasonable and believing that things can work is invaluable for relationships to work.
hi angel, your ex's beliefs on your personal relationships are void/meaningless IMO. He has some real issues by the sounds of it. You shouldnt stay single just coz that is what he wants. Just my opinion. Do what you want. If he gets in your face. Calls the police and the appropriate agencies. That will smarten him up.
i think i gave the wrong impression with this thread.
I prefer a single mom. they will understand where i am coming from as my kids are really important to me. They know what it is like to have to drop everything and cancel plans sometimes coz children issues supercede other things going on. Single moms to me tend to be more compassionate as we can relate with certain issues. We can also do joint things/activities coz we have our kids around.
The points i mentioned in my first post were just preferences, not musts. I was being honest and truly believe that a single mom with 1 or 2 kids would work best in my situation as i have two daughters in my care half the time. Was just being realistic and truthful with my views.
if what you say is true about yourself which i think is the case, then i'd say she is trying to catch you...to use this against you. So you dont have access with your kids.
This is sick on her part if she has no grounds for doing so. You said you dont have a booze issue. I would not drink when the kids are around. I would contact a lawyer as this is harassment.
how about just some challenges, like health, cancer perhaps or diabetes(to give some examples)? Yet the person is more than capable of functioning a productive life...
you better stick around. i wont be going anywhere. i am addicted. lol i still talk to Renee on msn...aka Bailey Beeze. but sure miss Wikked threads. She has an intelligent thought provoking mind.
I avoid punishment and instead focus my attentions raising cooperative/confident daughters. i try creating cooperation by asking not demanding, giving up rhetorical questions (as these are negative messages), give up explainations. Some of you may say why do you give up explainations. Well, i believe as a parent, when you explain your position to justify your request, you give up power. My kids get confused. So i try (doesnt happen always) to leave out explaination. Brief requests work wonders in my home. I also give up lectures.. The only time to give a child a lecture is when they ask for one. Also i try to be direct. (because i try to motive them.)
I was not sure which heading to put this topic under so i put it under "Dating and relating". After reading Bill's concerns aka Lefty i got thinking about this topic. It hits home for me for several reasons...1. i work with people who have severe disabilites and 2. i have my own limitations, more health related.
Soooo,
Question is this,,, Would you date a person with disabilities? For example...a person in a wheelchair, a person who is blind? Physical type disabiliities. i am not talking mental/cognnitive disabiilies?
Be honest people. Be you. If you cant be honest dont answer. No sugar coated responses either....Wink
