ridiculous.

This is beyond ridiculous.  We are back to public posts about child support. DH's ex-wife I mean.

I will start with the fact that I agree that some money is due in her direction. But I won't agree that she deserves to receive it right now.

Go ahead. Snap at that response.

We moved across the country to be close to them... To be able to provide for their needs directly.  Spend time with them,  and share the financial responsibility. But when money was to tight one week (and nothing was said to her), she pulled our visitation without even thinking twice about it.

So they pissed each other off and haven't said two words to each other in over 8 months.

The kids now go to his mother's on our every other weekend schedule.

I get it.  It's frustrating to keep having to ask for money for things for the kids when the other parent is holding a personal grudge over paying support. I've been there, and I'm currently going backwards to rectify what my child missed out on for support so that she can have something for her post secondary education.  But when the other parent is standing in front of you asking to share custody. .. To be the other parent just as much as you are. To leave work or stay home to be with a sick kid,  pay for school events,  make sure they are dressed respectably...Then how dare you simply tell the world that you just want their money.

Seriously. ..go *$#@ yourself.

It's not about money now. It's about you. And this isn't supposed to be about you. It's them. If the other parent has the desire to have the kids half the time, share the expenses, and be that much of a parent,  then maybe you ought to let go and let them.  If they start whining that they can't afford the time, energy, effort or stop showing up. ..THEN you have something to stand on.

But until you both pull your heads out of your asses and realize that you're both in the wrong right now. ..The kids are continuing to lose out. Huge.

Where does the time go?

Wow... my boss and I were talking about BLOGS... not really personal ones, more on the lines of business blogs... and I thought.. HEY! I have one... so I logged in, found the link and sent it.. and realized .. WOW you haven't been in the loop... here's the quick update.

Nov 2012 DH was in a bad car accident, and didn't work.. and when we figured out that he wasn't going to be able to work his typical jobs for a while..




So.... THIS happened...


And we moved... across the country, to start a new adventure ...

I'll get caught up soon.. PROMISE!
