Still makes me laugh to picture it. I mean that's the exact kind of bit they throw into tv shows and movies for a touch of comedy. It's like your life story is a drama but the writers wanted a little levity to ease the tension of that particular scene.

Are you retarded or something? No, what she did with the car wasn't funny, nor am I even remotely implying it was. When I picture that very specific moment that Tarrant was talking about and that I was clearly referring to, when she asks him why he needed to get his own car, he just looks at her, and the answer kind of dawns on her, that specific moment is funny to me. It seems like it was at least mildly amusing to Tarrant as well.

Without that backstory there's no punchline. So the two are inextricably linked. I am not amused!

Eh shit with my kid, the wife and I are actually doing fine. Really good, actually, and I've been trying to stay positive and just roll with it. Besides school started back up, focus focus focus.

I posted in the parent thread a couple of times, middle daughter has just dropped off the fucking deep end with behavior and got kicked out of her preschool, may get kicked out of kindergarten, probably has some kind of attention/sensory disorder that I just can't get diagnosed quick enough.

You could go the 'fuck looking for answers, just use Adderall!' road, that's what most people do.

It's what the solution is pretty much no matter what the problem is.

They're gonna medicate that little girl, Chaos. For a discipline problem. Not YOUR discipline problem. She's at the age where she has to develop self-discipline and she doesn't wanna yet. That's not your fault or failing... just your problem.

We have a 3 bedroom condo. Any mentions of an office were my actual office at work. The 3rd bedroom is pretty small, my daughter gets that room and my oldest son and my youngest share a room. My computer is in the living room.

I haven't got a thank you letter, my plates should be in early next week, I'll probably just swing by and get them. I haven't had the car long enough to start getting mailers from them yet.

This is the first time I recall you mentioning you had two other kids during the whole "crazy wife saga" (or did i miss it?). I thought it was just the one, since you only mentioned custody of that son. What's the status on the other kids?

My first wife I was with 7 years before we got married. We had two kids together My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 9. My divorce was finalized with her back in 2008.

Anyways, we got married at the 7 year mark and at 7 years 6 months she had an affair. We divorced and I fought for custody in an area that had no family court and you had to go through civil court for such things. At the time she was more interested in partying and did some dumb things that both my lawyers said would be a shoe in. However the area she lives in is well known for mothers getting custody (this whole state was a hot bed for that debate for a long time, it's got better in recent years). Anyways, I tried 3 times to get the case transferred to a family court at the county family court an hour away and the judge turned me down each time. By that point he wasn't the fondest of me. He died of old age a few years ago but by that time she got her shit together and they lived with her too long for me to really do much about it.

My son wants to move down here next year. At 13 he can request that and family court (that now exists up there) will listen to the child so we will see how that goes. I have a great relationship with both of them. I talk to them on the phone at least twice a week but only get to see them once a month due to them being 4 hours away. My son (who I suspect may be gay) is an awesome little dude who wears his heart on his sleeve and has an innocence about him that I hope he never losses. My daughter is a spit fire who is really beginning to test her boundaries and I really gotta be careful with while she begins to turn into a young woman. Other than the distance my relationship with both of them couldn't be better.

So, my wife quit her job yesterday. We've been going through this drama with one of our kids who went to the preschool she worked at, even though my wife is cool with the owner we have a pretty severe difference of opinion with the director so, she took it upon herself to quit. She's also in school, some childcare stuff, which requires her to be able to observe kids in certain situations, so she likely has to quit school. I am pretty not happy about this. The school especially, the job whatever. And mostly worried that she is going to regress to how she was when she wasn't working, depressed, sleeping all the time, not doing anything with the house or the kids. We have actually been doing ok for the past couple of weeks. Still are, I am just not feeling good about this.

I had a feeling this was gonna happen from previous talks we've had on the matter here.

And of course you've been good for the last few weeks, we know that's how things go man. It's how they always go.

Financially will you be okay?

Sorry all this is happening for ya man.
