Thanks B! In the time I have been divorced, which is a long time, I haven’t had any successful relationships and did a fair amount of dating. I’ve definitely take. Much longer than most, but he is so worth the wait.
I don’t offer advice on parenting unless he asks. And he has asked before when his child was acting up in preschool. And I am afraid I see why he might be. He’s so used to getting immediate attention and gets to make the decisions . Unless he asks again, I won’t offer. Is it annoying sometimes? Yes. We could be talking and he will jump right out of the conversation and run to him if he simply says “dad”. All his time with his son is pure fun. No regular “chores” or getting ready for school, or having to do anything like that. It’s playing, biking, kayaking, fishing, snowboarding..... it’s great he has his son involved in so much. But D11 and I I’ve differently. I deal with every day responsibilities and we are not 24/7 fun. But it was really nice having actual fun with her this week without the daily grind. My daughter finally mastered a bike completely. She was very behind on that due to fear. She used to complain on the beach, this time she was loving playing in the sand with M, me and his son then she found a love for boogie boarding. Those moments are special for my D and I because we don’t get all that fun very much. I did explain to him that when he starts kindergarten this year, life is going to change. There is homework and
I miss them already. There are differences, but overall we have a great time together and we work together nicely. Sunday will be M’s birthday family dinner. I love that D11 and I are included in that. M leaves again next Saturday for his solo vacation. Hopefully we can have a date night for just us this week. That would be nice too.
