    Leaving The Country

    I heard a story of a divorced father who left his 13 year old son behind in the states so he could live with his new wife and her family. Would anyone here ever do something like that?

    Forehead Slap Moments

    When it comes to movies, my "duh" moments come when I realized I haven't returned the latest movie I rented. It's only one day, how hard can it be to remember?

    Introducing the new woman

    That is all good advice, thank you. It's how my daughter will/might react that has me the most concerned. My girlfriend is smart and knows how to talk to kids, so I have every faith she'll handle it well.

    Introducing the new woman

    This is a very important issue for me. I'm recently divorced, have a 13 year old daughter, and a girlfriend I would really like to make a more important part of my life. I would like to make the transition of putting one adult female into my daughters life, even though I only see her once a...

    Punishment Ideas

    If there's any one thing kids that age need.....it's attention. Reward the good behavior and ignore the bad and you should start to see results.

    Baby is due soon and feeling a bit unprepared and overwhelmed

    I think a week is a very reasonable request, even if you did just start the job. Congratulations on that BTW. It's tough to find work out there.

    Presidential Debates

    Sounds like it doesn't it? I liked to hear him speak because he said things that made sense to me. I don't think either party liked him because he wasn't as political as they were. Just my opinion though.

    Too much exposure

    I think it makes us, as parents, have to step up our game and have to do more for our children then our parents had to do for us. In regards to monitoring the child's activities.

    New shows don't impress.

    It's football season now, so all those new shows are just going to have to wait. My T.V. is trained on the ESPN channels and that's where it's staying 'till February.

    The Learning Channel rant

    People are just getting un-creative I think. They've run out of original ideas, and all we're left with is the reality T.V. type shows a lot of times.

    Up late - hope its worth it

    They are a good team, but mine are the Bronco's. I like watching the Steelers because they always play good football. Will or lose, it's good entertainment .

    Fried chicken

    Fried chicken is great. The smell, the taste, everything. But it's just like anything else really, just keep it in moderation and you should be fine.

    Who the heck is de la Malgue?

    "Who the heck is de la Malgue?" Beats me. But if it's someone who made positive contributions to society, I wouldn't have a problem with my daughter doing a school project on the person. I say "the person" because I don't even know if it's a male or female.

    Babies Trick or Treating

    Ours was an only child so we didn't really see the point. When she was old enough to walk we took her out and she was always cute as button.

    Not meeting their needs

    Yes, I have provided for my daughter. Here lately though it's been a bit more difficult. I tell her I love her everyday, I stay involved with her schooling and see her as much as I can. I think she understands what's going on.

    Not meeting their needs

    Yes, I have. Here lately I haven't been able to much, but I do as much as I can. I tell her I love her, I stay involved with her schooling and I see her as much as I can. I think she does understand.

    Divorce or Deception

    It's worse to live a lie. Divorce might hurt, but it's only a temporary hurt because the divorce process doesn't last forever. Living a lie hurts for as long as you are living it.

    Raising Teens

    Mine just turned 13, so I guess time will tell on this one. She's still very reserved and not very talkative about certain things, but as long as she's honest about what she does say, I don't mind.

    Favorite band or singer

    What kind of music do you guys listen to? I'm still a big Stones fan although I will listen to new music if it has that classic rock sound to it. Like Joe Bonamassa for example.

    Paying For The Divorce

    I did end up paying for it because I knew she wasn't going to budge and I just can't take the arguments anymore. I don't really care anymore who's right or who's wrong........we're just too different at this point. It did cost more then just that one fee though. I had my fee's I had to pay as...
