If you think she has a hidden agenda, ask her or don't.
Or call her out.
It's taking up way too much prime real estate and messes with your mind.
I'm going to take that book out again.. loved it. Distraction is a great tool to use with kids.. and I see you do it with your ex-wife, too! Are you officially divorced yet?
I am not really sure what i want....i am pretty dethached...or at least i like to think i am. i am sure however, that it is not taking prime real estate....it just gets thrown at me and I can not help but see the x once a week. so i journal here .... who else can i tell this to. x just probably wants to fill me in on all her stuff...i used to be a pretty good listener i guess. She mentioned that she misses me .... no clue what that means. On the NGF front things are moving right along ... normally. Other than the kids (which incidentally she acknowledges do not behave as well as she would like) there has been no friction and we enjoy the time we do spend together.
Reading your posts are so soothing, like you've gone through the rapids in a rubber raft and can enjoy the scenery.
Fretting about 'can I do this again', 'I may be too old for this' is putting the cart before the horse. There's a booboo on your heart that's slowly healing as you do everything right. Take the time, smell the roses, be the healthy sexy uomo you are.
You know what Montreal is famous for don't you BBJ? Smoke Meat and....maybe I should shut up! He will probably not get too much sleep....maybe if he has an opening on his foursome I can join him. All kidding aside, tell him that if he needs a few restaurants or other fine establishments that you know w alocal guy up here. thanks for the compliments Gyps.. I had no idea that my posts were soothing. I AM smelling the roses more and more! The booboo in my heart is healing alot quicker since NGF came along. It sure helps to have someone from the opposite sex that you can share things with......
Spent soem time with NGF this weekend without D8 (who I picked up last night). I consider myself to be a good parent....maybe a little soft at times but D8 knows when I get a certain look on my face that I have reached my maximum tolerance level or pretty close to it. Sometimes I can be pretty volcanic but that may be hereditary or have something to do with my ethnic origins. On the other hand NGF's kids continuously challenge her. The problem is that she is WAY too soft on them and often regrets what she says or rather what she allows them to do. Do not get me wrong, I am a papa bear and spoil my kid. She puts me to shame......it is just too much and her kids have developped into a couple of whiny kids...they whine about each other and almost everything else under the sun continuously. Ok, enough venting. Since, I am a masochist, I am leaving for the amusement parc with D8, NGF, her kids and the clan from the stable. I am already expecting the worse. Well at least the weather is beautiful 25C and sunny all day! Wish me luck!
Did have a great time with D8 and NGF...her boy however, has some serious issues.....the kind that deserve a swift kick in the behind....but I better stop before I go on a rant.
Does NGF's kids get equal parenting time with their father? I too had noticed that X-GF let many more things slide with the behavior of her daughter, and alas, the father was not in the picture.
