Random thoughts

I was merely commenting above that there are a few fleeting moments where I think that it'd be nice to have someone around to see what I'm seeing.

what are you seeing?

I think others' points shared here, have been more from your child's future development standpoint and not about what would be nice or works for you
 
its great he has a strong and loving mother. Oxy do you plan on home schooling him?

I missed this Archie... if I were staying in Australia, maybe. It's going to cost me like 20k+ to get him into kindergarten here in my zone and I think I could probably do a better job for that kind of cash. (Public schools are booked for like 3yrs.) But when we move, no. He'll go to regular school. He's great with other kids and being an only child, it's important for him to socialise as much as possible, which is all they do at that age anyway. I admire the dedicated homeschoolers though. Not the freakish ones but the ones who do it because the schools in their zone suck or they're full and can't afford the private school fees.
 
Unfortunately, for someone who wouldn't be considered a father figure to your child, I think it would be hard for them to find nearly as much joy and excitement in it as you would. That's the difficulty that I have with dating single mothers anyway.

You know what? That's 100% right. Shit man, I never thought of it like that. So this whole time whenever I've been weepy...Boingers has copped one of my suckfests a few months ago about kind of the same thing... I was sad over something that wouldn't ever eventuate anyway. The only person who would truly get it would be his dad. And luckily he has been around for some things.

Mother hell, I just had an Oprah lightbulb moment. This is why you're tied #1 MF. Always and forever.

And thanks everyone... you've literally just helped me figure out the equivalent of one of your Kelly Wonger whatever equations in my head. Seriously, I appreciate it. xo

You'll see it when you have a litte kid and as time goes by and they get older you might want to gouge your eyes out! All depends on the kid I guess! :dunno:

Oskana, I hear you!

Yeah, he can't go. Apparently it's one of those enrol them at birth deals but I didn't know. And also wasn't living in this area at the time. So they accept a certain amount and then after that, they're full instead of hiring another teacher.
 
so what do people do?

im not even sure they have public schools in colombia. ive heard of them but i dont think ive ever seen one.

thank you darling

the one stable thing in seth's life will always be me. i don't want to be rescued and he doesn't need a dad. if someone came alone whom after a few years i thought would be a great mentor, buddy, etc... fair enough. but hell no... not anytime soon and it would have to be a pretty f'n amazing guy. if all of my guy friends have been full of shit for this long and really they need to be a part of the whole family unit, then so be it... i'll stay alone until i have to. it's hard enough to balance out what i think is good parenting with seth's dad as it is. i'm not throwing someone else in the mix just to complicate matters.

I had to take a state mandated class couple weeks ago with what I'm going through and having kids involved.
the class is given by a therapist/counseler/ physc doc, etc...
really made my head spin with what he was saying with the situations, consquences , longterm effects on kids in that predicament and how to try and deal with it.
not looking forward to the future

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that, bro. I hope everything will be alright.
 
Work followed by a couple of beers followed by gym time...seems like the proper order to do things.
