Apparently me! He also forgets that I have an incredible memory and tries to pull that I must not remember blah, blah, blah card. I don't fall for that. I will admit i do forget on occasion when I am under a lot of stress but I also replay thinkgs over and over in my head so I don't forget. I know I am a goof!
thanks for the hug.

School stress has hit D11 and she is crying. I got mad because she wouldn't let her brothers help and they were offering. We haven't even got to the math problems yet!!
It is going to be a really long night.

Hang in there, Kat! Just think, the year has just begun. Mine begin school Sept.7...can't wait! They're already hitting me up for clothes money. I said "what about getting your school supplies" and they reply "oh yah". But we all know that clothes are priority for the school year!
She finally calmed down and she was laughing with her 14 year old brother by the time she was done. Helping all 4 keeps my mind hopping but I don't remember half of this stuff. Lol
I hope she can gain some confidence with this. We will have to focus on math. Going to bed.

Strange things do happen. Tomorrow is the open house for the high school. Having both boys there, there is no way I can visit each of their classes during the 10 min faux class period. so I let ex know about it and he is going. He asked if we wanted to drive together, fine no big deal. Gee I think I have become a grown up at least part-time.

Birthdays we don't do together. My parents haven't actually seen ex face to face since he filed. It would not be good. I make a big deal out of birthdays, ex does not. If it were just us, we could probably do it. I have no desire to include his fiance(OW) in our special days. Probably best to keep things as they are.
We have done the girls conferences together last year at the elementary school but not the boys. Like I said he wouldn't mention the divorce. The girls for the most part have done ok since they were younger . S17 has been the most vocal about his issues and S14 has definetly been hit the hardest. He has blossomed this past year and we are very close. He is always helping me fix things(his dad never really did).
The hardest thing is watching the boys fight for Man of the House honors. They each have their strong points but I am always telling them to enjoy being kids, no reason for them to try and take anything over. I will ask for help if I need it. Usually just cleaning up the chaos they create! lol

My parents haven't seen my XH since shortly after the S. Probably a very good thing.
I can understand not doing other things together. Glad yours is going to do some of the back to school stuff though. That can only be good for the kids.
Funny about the man of the house thing. Kids are too entertaining.
