Gotta Keep Trying 2

So I'm going to agree now with Gardner and the others about the card. I told you initially when you asked that you should give her a sort of general card to mark the day. Rethinking that, I think you should not mark the day. Not to be an a$$ - b/c you are certainly not - but b/c she said she doesn't want to be in a M. So what value would a card marking the fact that she is in a M have...really? And your message going forward will be something along the lines of "I don't want to be in THIS M as it is." No ring. No card. See a L. Call a realtor. Control the $. No engagement. 100% fab fatherhood. GAL. Strength and honor - that's how you roll.

Push back.

Idea ~~~ take the kids out tomorrow night. Go see a movie (Where the Wild Things Are) and eat junk food. Just come home, announce "Hey kids, put your shoes on....Daddy wants to see xyz movie." And be out of that door within 20 minutes. Of course, Mrs. GIMA must remain on the other side of the door. Again, not to be an a$$, but b/c you want to make your days a positive experience even when facing a challenge.
