Yes, very true – thankfully we have the Spelling Squad!

Anytime I write I have to reread it. Regardless of whichever writing program I use, it doesn’t catch those very same mistakes. At least we have the spelling squad. :]

Comment on Meet My Old Friend, Anxiety by Single Soccer Mom

Lol! Isn’t that the worst? I’ve actually had that happen before, except mine was on question #3 and was being videotaped! There’s nothing like the other person’s reaction after you completely blank and forget everything smack dab in the middle of a conversation. I love how you describe it…forgetting who they were, where you were, what you were doing and how to talk! That’s exactly what it is! It’s as if someone quickly erases every last detail from your memory and drops you into some strange situation…Uhhh, where am I, what am I doing? Thanks for sharing your story Stacy and for the support!

Nobody, and I mean nobody has as bad luck as I when it comes to anxiety attacks. Sure, my sister once fainted on the train and woke up on a stretcher, but picture me … on the 50th floor of a fancy-shcmancy office interviewing for a position I wanted ever so bad, third or fourth interview in as many weeks, and when they asked me question #1, like right after hello, I BLANKED. Forgot who they were, where I was, what we were doing, how to talk, how the helll I was. Lasted a great 2 minutes. After a glass or water and appologies out the butt, the interview was done and I never heard from them again. TRUST ME, this crap doesn’t happen to anyone but ME, lol. You will be fine.

Comment on Visitation: Just For Dad or His Girlfriend Too? by Single Soccer Mom

Thanks Lauren! I am so happy to hear your take on it and am glad you “got a little opinonated there” I thought it sounded, and felt, wrong. The Girlfriend’s daughter from a previous marriage is living with them…that they say is his sister (don’t get me started)…but I still felt that I should have, at least, been given the opportunity to spend that time with him. Luckily, it seems to have worked itself out! I just got off the phone with my ex and it looks like I will be spending that time with him after all. Apparently she can’t get off work in time to pick him up from daycare. Here’s to some bonus time for me!

Oh my! I am surprised you managed to even lay the groundwork of this post before sharing the dilemma — impressed, really.

I give this a BIG FAT NO!!! There is no reason what-so-ever that you should have to give up time with your son so he can go stay with someone other than his other parent. Now, I think it would be different if he had siblings at his dads because time with them would be important for your son, but since that’s not the case — no way. I would put my foot down there.

I think it’s great that you have a pleasant relationship with your ex and his girlfriend, as I do. I think it’s great that you trust her with your son and have learned to let go. But I do not think that your son is better off with her than with you.

In my situation, I am actually really good friends with the girlfriend. I trust her with my son and even encourage her to take on more of a step-mom role with him. And I still wouldn’t agree to her taking my son for the weekend if my ex was going out of town and I was available to take him.

Dad’s time away should be bonus time for you!

(Sorry — got a little opinionated there!)
