Tucking them in last night, both of them asked me why Mommy likes her friends better than she likes them. I managed to squeeze out some "I can't speak for your mother, but I sure like you" mumbo-jumbo before kissing them goodnight.
Good Daddy... *hugs*
Then I went out to the driveway, got in the car, and screamed my head off.
Good Father.. Good Man... Good release.
*hugs*
You're great about defining what is in your power.. like not being able to speak for their mom but letting them know how incredible they are to you. A solid foundation built on love, caring and personal sense of responsibility for your children.
You're pretty neat.
Be the Dad.. there's none better.
*hugs*
PS.. Sounds like it's time to hire a lawyer who feeds on this type of scenario.
