You are a great man and a inspiration to everyone on the board! The doc is lucky, your kids are lucky, I am lucky to have you as a virtual friend and tour ex is a fool!
Ahhh L....you are going to make me squirt some too! I feel the same way brother! I just try to be the best person I can be each day, I try to be kind and keep things in perspective.
I am really excited that the woman's national soccer team is coming to town. I reached out to the X yesterday and asked her if I could get the girls as it was not my week and she said "of course". I bought the girls and I tickets to go watch them play and they are going to crap themselves. They play Japan so I am really pumped to take them. They both play soccer and watched the USA women play religiously!
It's times like this where I am grateful that my X and I can work together. I hope that when I think big picture about things like giving her some CS money early that it pays off with things like this.
The tickets were expensive so I did get insurance on them just in case something went down though
Great news TB!!! I, too, am grateful that my X and I can work together. Just this morning, I texted him that I think we are rocking this coparenting thing and thanked him for his flexibility. He thanked me as well and agreed that it is really good for our kids. Really, really happy that this is one thing he and I both agree on. It makes a world of difference, doesn’t it?
That's awesome! It does make a world of difference and I know my kids notice and feel comfortable around the both of us when we are in each others company. I didn't ask for this but if I have to go through it then I wouldn't want it any other way.
That’s my blessing too. If my ex has something going on or I do, we let our child go where the fun is at! I would never have her miss an event with her dad because it’s “my time” f you put the focus on the kids, you make the right choice.
My daughter tells me how happy she is because her parents get along and talk unlike most divorced parents. It makes a huge difference in their lives
I think the main reason why my daughters made it through our D is because of how we handle it. They had their moments at times but for the most part got through it fairly easy.
1 yr today for me and the Dr. I ordered flowers on Tuesday and tonight we are going out to eat at the place we went on our first date. She sent me a sweet text at 6:30 this morning when I was on my way to the gym and I responded in kind. She tells me all the time how much of a blessing I am to her. I guess we shall see what is in store for us over the next year. I will say the texting and not seeing each other all the time is getting a little old but I am still not ready to get married. I think we still need some more time together and my girls especially need to spend more time with her.
We had our date last night, the Dr. loved her 2 dozen roses, and plastered them and us all over FB and IG. Dinner was great although after working all day and getting up early for the gym we had to rally some to make it out. Since she has met my parents they are all friends on FB now so my mom is commenting, my step mom is commenting. SMH.
The topic of marriage came up again and also me spending the night during the weeks when I don't have my girls. I actually kind of stepped into that one. It was cold, rainy and nasty last night and after dinner we were going back to her place for some sexy time as she got a sitter for her son. I commented that it was going to be hard to leave due to being out, having a few drinks, indoor Olympics and the weather. Mind you I have never spent the night once during the week. I go over for sexy time and then leave to the comfort of my own home. She then popped up and said "well you can spend the night". I was like uggghhhh, I had such a perfect arrangement going. Anyway, I told her that I would but that I would only do it if her son knew about it ahead of time. Truthfully, I didn't want him coming down the stairs to a locked bedroom with me in his mom's bed and him not expecting it. She wasn't concerned about it but I told her I was, that I wanted him to know as all the other times it has happened he knew about it.
Funny thing is that I was talking to one of my gym buddies and he asked me how things were going so him and I got on this topic a couple of months back. He recently got married and made mention of him spending the night at her place while they were dating and how he didn't sleep well, etc. So when I told him I had never spent the night during the week he was like...……"Man, that is awesome!!!"
I dunno. I kind of like how when they start snoring when you have your arms around them, you can slide back with a satisfied "job well done".
On BD H52, W50 T27, M26 S21, D23 BD-9-Mar-16 D-15-Jan-18 Final-19-Apr-18 I am a storyteller. The story may do you no good. But a story is never for the listener. It is always for the one who tells
Not much to report. Friday night the Dr. and I went out to eat with some friends of hers and on Saturday we went to a United Way fundraising event that was fun. I got my girls on Sunday afternoon and the Dr. and her son came over for a bit Sunday night and hung out. Yesterday I had my girls and her son for most of the day as there was no school so they mostly just played outside since it was a really nice day. So we did see each other for a bit yesterday however we won't get any quality time until Saturday.
Other than that not much else going on. I have the girls this week so I will be pretty busy between their activities, school, etc.
