| Can't put my finger on this.....
Posted: 12/17/2007 3:30:59 PM | I would have texted her back to effect that if Rotten Ronnie's is open and we're hungry, I don't care where they get their beef from. Who cares ? Is she just a little paranoid or over-protective or something ?
No, on second thought, I wouldn't have aggravated the situation by sending a hostile message like that. However, I wouldn't have given it much weight in the first place. "Yeah, whatever." is more like what I'm thinking. Eventually of course the matter would have come up and then I'd claim that I simply forgot. I could argue about it I guess but what for ? If she's going to let her emotion trump her reason in the first place then there's no point in arguing. Just carry on.... | |

Her responce, "So my feelings dont count."
Actually, no they don't. Your child's feelings count, your child's health and well being counts,...her feelings? Not any more. You're divorced, they are irrelevant.
Child yes
Her no | |

I agree two thirds!
Him - No
Her - No
Child - 100 %
I don't care if she's "paranoid", "attention seeking", "dumb" or whatever other name anyone wants to label her. AND I don't care if he's "arrogant", a "jerk", "attention seeking" either.
It does matter how the child feels and that IS impacted by how mommy and daddy speak to And Of one and other. The ego's of "adults" hardly compare to the wellbeing of Any child.

P.S. Don't do that. | |

I showed it to a few friends who really got a good laugh out of it. But, no advice as to its meaning.
No Advice? From yer lovely bunch o friends ? Really?
Well, What a *ShockeR* !
You ALL sound like such a highly insightful lot of fellers
'mickey ds' isNT Brain Food , seems like Yer offspring is going to benefit from Other foods.
I would Have to concur , with the wifey on Not providing That 'food' To the child.
Regardless of Her Reasoning being 'proven/not'.
The 'Question'? Of ..."What the meaning of text/whatever - Was or Is?"
So Besides The *Point* | |

Posted: 12/18/2007 6:39:26 AM | Bottom Line: The Child MUST come first.
Most of the op's post is about Adult ego's. There is no place for the ego's of adults when the interests of the child are in question or are of some concern.
It would be nice if someone who isn't all hung up on being right would post about how they Compromise for the Best Interest of the Child. Now there's a man/woman I'd like to read!
All the Best! (to Your Children!!)

You're in the middle of divorce....of course your not going to be seeing eye to eye, that's why your getting the divorce eh? No ... the divorce is final ... see below.
From Message 1 (the OP) ...
My ex-wife and I divorced about 4 months ago.
OP ... You really didn't even have to let her know it was a hoax because (apparently) the hoax part doesn't count even though you showed her the proof.
We don't always have to be right ... as long as we know in our hearts we are right.
You could have cut her off at the pass if you would have texted her back that you won't be feeding your son any more fast food ... period. He doesn't need it ... and he could learn how to prepare a proper meal at home working with you as you prepare a real dinner.
Teach him how to make baked chicken, meatloaf, beef stew ... all can be easily made and the leftovers easily used as well. More children need to learn about that anyways. You'll be doing him a great favor by teaching him how to use the kitchen for more than just sitting down to carry out food.
I had four children and even though I was a "stay-at-home" mom, they all knew how to cook by the time they were your son's age. When I was making dinner, they were expected to be there to learn and to help. When I needed to be out of the house from time to time (PTA projects, football games, track meets) they had no problem fending for themselves and no one missed dinner. If I had to be gone, there was a note on the counter as to what was for dinner, they got things started and when necessary Dad helped finish it too.
PS ... do the dishes together as well ... more time spent together doing something that is truly a part of life. | |
