sartre 0 #26 January 25, 2008 Quote Quote Ladies and gentlemen, let's get this man a great big fucking medal.Unimpressed A woman doesn't expect people to be amazed when she steps up and handles being a single parent. We just fucking do it. Crazy Oh Jesus Christ! You have to be kidding me. Ok, so maybe I was a wee bit bitchy last night, but c'mon, you gotta admit....there are certain guys out there who consider themselves super special for doing what the rest of us just take upon ourselves to do. For example, my ex used to say he was "helping" me with the housework. He'd leave the vacuum out if he ran it and then expect me to notice it and give him a big pat on the head: "Wow! You vacuumed! Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galvar2439 0 #29 January 25, 2008 What ever, its expected of any parent to do what you have to do. My middle girl will be taking her first Business related trip with me this summer. I am grooming her to take over my company. I never thought i would say that just a few short years ago. Two daughters were 9 when they started and the other was alate bloomer 13. Cant tell you how mant "PAD" runs i have made over the years. But not anymore.So i just broke up with this woman who wasn't even my girlfriend!

RkyMtnHigh 0 #30 January 25, 2008 There's a book called The 5 Love Languages that would help you sort out the reason your SO vacuumed and left the vacuum out so you noticed that he did it. 5 Love Languages: Words of Affirmation Quality Time Receiving Gifts Acts of Service Physical Touch You determine which "languages" are important to you as well as your SO. If you don't understand their "language" it affects communication (both verbal and non-verbal) What may be important to you in a relationship may vary from your SO, therefore the key is to understand what is important to your SO and vice versa. **Sorry for the hijack*** _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read it as a comment that HE was being a full time parent whereas the OP is a part time parent. whether it was meant to be inflammatory toward the OP or not, I don't know but your comment to him was exactly his comment toward the OP.

sartre 0 #40 January 26, 2008 I never asked him that question. I chose to treat him as an adult, not my child. I may have been a giant pain in his ass, but it wasn't due to my nagging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkfairy 0 #41 January 26, 2008 Congratulations! I heard there's an old japanese costum that the parents should go around to the neigboors with specially prepared red rice to celebrate the occation and to make it known that the daughter in the house is no longer a little girl. Well, I heard it, from a half-japanese... Congratulations with having a daughter, anyway. I hope you get to spend time with her, and get to know her.Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
