When My W sent the email on Friday I just happened to be talking with Racefan via email..I sent him a copy of the email and told hie to DB it..this was his response back to me.
Okay devils advocate, W point of view you were being childish and doing it to upset W. She felt awkward getting 'questioned' (did she get questioned?) That's basically it from her view right? Yeah pretty much. Okay your point of view, W thinks that I was not a good father to son, so I am doing whatever I can to make sure and be the dad I haven't been in her eyes with D. Right? Close anyway. Okay here is my take: W is pissed cause you made a decision to be with your D and not her with that said, did you do wrong NO you didn't, you did right, you put your D first. In my mind 2 parents go no need for 2 parents 2 hear the same thing when 1 can fill in the other. IMO it just more of the same from W anger is confusing her perception. This shouldn't even be a topic of discussion. As you said the other night she would be pissed just for you breathing. I am not slamming your W don't take it that way, pre-bomb yrs ago she was (is) the woman of your dreams but the aliens have that one and left you this one. It is another baited sitch. I think the way you responded with your email was spot on. You didn't blame, you didn't throw insults, you were calm & cool. I look at W's email and you can just see the anger with her wording. What you did last night didn't warrant the email. Duck's back my friend that's all you can do at this point stay clear of the baiting you are doing it right.
The part in bold is key.
There's so much anger in her email..Brian even picked it up.
Sending an angry email because I missed a meeting because my little girl is moving from the infant class to the toddler class?? And all the kids and teachers she has previously been in the class with are moving up to. to the same class!!! What's the world coming to??
OMG--we may have to seek help for my D. I just don't see how she will adjust to this move..it will be so traumatic for her..
a NORMAL woman(if there is such a thing) walks by that room and sees a 44 year old man in the middle of 2 year olds getting used and abused and crawled all over..I believe she would have thought, "what a guy".."what a man"
The thing is Mike, she may have walked by that room.She may have seen you with all those kids. She may have had that heart flutter.
In her current frame of mind, wouldn't you say that would piss her off?
Let this one go dude, water under the bridge and not a damn thing you can do. Actually, IMHO not a damn thing you should do.

Oh I know..I have not said anything else to W and don't intend to..I said all I will say when I said that in the email.
I just find it funny, that's all.
Point is..D had fun, I had a blast..and the other 9 two year olds had fun too..
By the way Mike, my wife was a childcare teacher in one of the best here in Memphis. I know all about the "transition"for 2 year olds.So I am not simply shooting off my mouth here. I imagine if I asked my W, she would agree with you and me....and her mind is twisted........

My thoughts exactly Ian..This place is actually a Child Study Center affiliated with and run by ETSU. It costs us a boat load a month to send her there. It's the best around this area by far and the waiting list to get in is a mile long. They are very qualified and know how to work with these kids.
Did you see that I played Colonial Country club the other day. It is where they used to play the St. Jude classic on the tour.
The course was amazing, absolutely breathtaking views on just about every hole.
I did not play great, was hooking everything which is not like me at all. I generally play a fade..not that day. I got to 18, hit a tree with my drive, second shot in the left rough on a par 5, 245 yards from the hole. Green and flag are tucked behind a lake. I looked at my boss, said what the hell I am going for it. Took out my 4 iron, played a draw, landed the ball 5 feet from the pin..... That is why I keep playing...one shot in 18 holes that makes it all worth while......
Much like our situations my friend, that one shot, that one thing we do correct, that one time we feel like we hit the best shot of our lives in our situation, that is why we stay and play........It makes all the mishits seem unimportant.....

Understand?
Ian
I saw that and was a little envious. That one shot always keeps us going/coming back I do agree.
Do I understand??
You still see me teeing it up don't you??
You still see me here..
I'm still playing. The coarse I'm playing isn't very scenic right now. The playing partner I have is not very fun and in a chitty mood. I've got a good caddy though..
If I could find the cart girl and a cold beer it would be good.
Other than that I'm OK..I'm still swinging and most of the time keeping it in play..When I hit one out I just take my penalty and re-tee another.
