Need Some Qwik Advice

[OnceBurdened]

Well she called me this morning, again I did not answer immediately, it was unintentional as my D & S like to listen to Daddy's ipod kinda loud on the ride to school. But she of course wanted to know why i didn't answer on the first ring.

I answered calmly and she started asking me about S's practice and game schedule while I'll be out of town. I'll be gone 3 days for a school to get National Cerification it's intense, she knows that there will be very little time for any communication.

Anyway, after I ran down the schedule I asked her if there was anything else? She said she had not talked to S this a.m.. So I handed him the phone. After the discussion he said "Dad, Mom wants to talk to you."

She said "-----, I uh " and started choking up.

I said " I can't do this with you right now."

She said " Why can't you talk to me?"

I said " I have been trying to talk to you for monthes, and it has been discounted and ignored, now please we are done doing this"

She said "I am going to pick up kids, and we'll be home early -No one has any practices tonight."

I said " I will have dinner made, ( Kids really enjoy that with their schedules they don't get to eat at home much) and I will see you when I get home"

She said " What are you doing?"

I said " Attending a support group meeting for Divorced Parents"

She said " Why didn't you talk to me about that?"

I said " I didn't know I needed to"

She said " My patient is here, If i call you today will you answer?"

I said " w, yes i will if I see you are calling, but understand, I am no longer holding my phone waiting for you to call, that is over, I won't ignore you, but I don't want you blowing me up because I didn't answer."

Pup, Greek - Am I playing too hard now?
