Short of running him off with something sharp, what could I do? How to handle that? Suggestions for the inevitable next time?


Ok..no 2x4's from me...I think you have a few choices..

1..I really liked the sharp object choice!!! grin just kidding..

1. set boundaries...ie..Gabe, I'll take care of my own yard, thank you very much....doesn't the broom have a bush you need to trim??? blush

2..let him play yard boy..use him and abuse him...till he quits..work his azzzz off..

3. and the best of all...and I agree with the ladies here..get CG over..make him a few meals in exchange for yard work...or find some nice, young, studly, christian man who will help you out in exchange for home cooked meals....when a man who once ruled the kingdom happens to see "new meat" on what was his turf...he usually either gets really angry and finally will leave you alone...or if he still has feelings..well he may do something else..

Kim's deal??? well..I get 2 weeks in the summer..problem is the weeks are not 7 days..they are 6 days, 5 nights...an oversight on my part and my lawyers..Kim and I been switching out and doing good on the visitation...I have a beach trip planned 8/1-8/8..paid for..and that is one of my weeks with Caleigh...so..I wanna take Caleigh..Kim's problem..she says she has no idea what the emotional effect of her(caleigh) being away from her mommy for that long..will do to Caleigh...

so there you have it....and personally..I think that's one of the most retarded reasons ever...especially since Caleigh and I have a great time together always..
