I was going to suggest you meet/drop off kids w/H rather than sit at home waiting for H to show up. If you do that once or twice, maybe he will get the idea. Just a suggestion.





great idea cathy, however h doesn't work nearby and depending on where I am going it would take more effort to drive the kids to him just for him to drive them home. I think he got the idea yesterday (I didn't nag or complain that he was going to be later than intented but I'm sure he sensed the dissapointment in me and ta da' he came home earlier)

And, my philosophy on the children thing is "it takes a village" the more exposure they have to others the better for the children. I have so much help from family and friends and really don't know where I would be without them. And, they like the little guy even my nephews who are teenagers.




well na ni na ni poo poo to you! my family doesn't live all that close and the ones that do are busy most of the time I try to take advantage of them as often as I can though.

Yes it should be the father's responsbility, but we know how some father's are, they just don't get it!





it was never really taught to h, in his world the mothers did it all and the fathers were the breadwinners and fixer of things..he knows that there is more to it than that..realized it through the sit..but it's still difficult for him to put it in action at times.
