Another one joins the flock (Part II)

[Jack_Three_Beans]

Mike,

Honest and hard question that deserves some introspection and an honest answer.

Before all of this with your wife, were your boys as high a prioriety as they are now to you?

My answer if you asked me would have been no.

So when my wife went to MLC La la land, and I reorganized my priorities...I would get pissed at my wife for 'abandoning' our boys...but in reality, it wasn't that much different.

I am offering to be careful with the righteous indignation.
The EX-smoker is harder on the smoker, the EX-fat person makes more fun of fat people...

Mike,

Has anyone told you not to attack the OM?

One other caution, as a father to a father of two boys.
Do not coddle your boys, yes what is going on sucks, but do not cripple them and their future for the instant comforts either.
Your boy WOULD have fun at scout camp. Plain and simple. Our desire to comfort them and take away all their worry and concerns, shouldn't mean they don't have to face new challenges.
