Came home for a quick meal and to check in. Been with the oldest all day (exploratory surgery that turned into more but she’s fine now) That’s where I’ve been the last couple days. Now it’s the middle one. I can’t believe there is not more training for motherhood, especially for those later years when they can really get screwed up. Maybe if I’d watched Dr. Phil I would have done better trying to talk them in and out of things; point the way. And I always wish I’d taken a job as a maid long enough to learn to clean properly. Oh, and I’ve been talking with my ex-husband every day, for the first time in — Well, since we sold the last lot – because we got an offer on the beach lot so that’s been freaky. He says I owe him 6%. Whatever. I probably owe him more than that. I think he’s suing me for full custody of the youngest. Which is a little late in the game as she’ll be 18 in March. But she got a job right by his house, plus school started, which is right there, too. Plus all her friends. Lawyers, great.

Why sue you for custody…can’t she just be there or does he need the tax right off? Sounds extremely weird to me unless it is money which seems to be the root of all weirdness in this world
and it does seem to fuel the worst of intentions!
too bad you can’t work it out w/o the lawyers!
missed ya’ while you were gone too! glad things went ok.
Glad your oldest one is doing ok. What’s the point in your ex suing you when your youngest is going to be 18 soon? Just to give you more headache!
Hello,
It sure is nice to have a friend when you’re depressed. I’m glad you were there for that person.
You seem warm and generous and I appreciate your comments , thank you.
I have been fighting with Ms. Panic for year’s. So this is the year I win the fight . I compared panic to seduction , the reason, I don’t really know. Maybe a cruel seduction, because panic does seduce you with her power. Putting your mind in the place where she can come inside.
Not pleasant.
I hope thing’s work out with the ex, I see his move with a custody hearing a little ridiculous since your child is almost 18. My best to you with that.
Take care
Peace and Love:)
I have a friend who cleans houses for a living… and her own house is a wreck.
(sometimes I think of burning mine– just so I can start over with a nice new clean one.)
At last, I’ve found a blogger with competent writing skills. It’s weird not having to force myself through the eternal parade of “…”s replacing commas, the “cutesy” internet spelling, or, largely phony,
Neo-Gothicism’s (is Gothicism a word? I wager no).
Excellent blog.
Read Pearl Buck…i STILL remember the lady having the baby in the rice paddy, cutting the umbilical chord with a shoot, then going right back to work
No questions of the duties of motherhood there
Is he a lawyer too? And I don’t see the point since, as you say, she’ll be 18 come March. Course I’m not a mom.
And hopefully, as you say, your eldest is doing better as well as the other:)
ryc: I dont thats your fault at all…you can only expose them to things and then they make their own choices, feel out their own beliefs. My mom exposed us and we three children all chose different religious paths, only one of us chose something similar to hers. You can only offer knowledge, the est is up to them.
But I think thats a good thing, the replacing the negative with a positive. If we only washed away the negative, then we’d have a hole.
Why don’t we only type in “New Speak”?
Clean house?! buahahahahahahaha! What’s that?
Hope your middle and your oldest fare well–some healing thoughts are being sent their way. I too, think it’s ridiculous that ex is trying to get custody–pppffffffttttt. Take good care of yourself, always enjoy your writings! Hope you have a pleasant weekend, despite all else!
Yikes, looks like I’ve missed a lot. I’m glad you’re ok.
As for the maid thing- take it back. I seem to have taken a job as a maid, and it sucks. Knowing how to clean properly is not worth it.
I spent the entire day sweeping and cleaning the playground of the youngest’s pre-school (co-op), it was the family’s chore, and who ended up doing it? the maid-er, nanny.
This situation with your ex, This concerns me about having children with other people. On the up, I made Mark come help me today, and he spend some bonding time with the youngest of the girls. I think it was his first experence with a kid. It was adorable. I think he was nervous about the kids before, and now he seems pretty chill with it.
ciao.
ryc: A dr phil mentioning in one of our exchanges reminded me of something, thats what I meant about the hole. As in, for example…one cannot simply erase a bad behaviour without filling up that space with a good behaviour, else its too easy to slide right back to the bad. It can apply to anything really.
The tax thing sounds plausible with the custody issue with the ex – though wouldn’t the cost of lawyers wipe out whatever gains might be there? Or is it a ‘control’ issue – a ‘see, Pru, I got her’… If it’s the latter, just don’t let it bug you. If he doesn’t get a rise out of it, he’ll probably lose interest in pursuing it – 18 next March? That’s less than a year away – any good lawyer would surely tell him it’s a waste of time, money, effort, etc….
Glad your eldest is ok. Really glad.
