Domestic Relations “Best Day Ever”

DICC SupportJust the words “Domestic Relations” sends shivers down my spine. Going to court to settle a child custody issue should be the last resort in my opinion. Working it out between both parents should always be attempted before letting the court system decide your fate or your child’s! Plus, I had always heard that the mother is always favored in the court system when it comes to child custody issues.  Of course that’s in a perfect world, with two mentally and emotionally stable parents who put the needs of their children first.… Read the rest

“Bus”ted

My ex-wife had a bad habit of neglecting to inform me when she would up and move my kids, at least four times they were uprooted. Having 50/50 custody it went as far as our young children keeping this vital information from me even on my custody week, a form of parental alienation.

During the school year we had an agreement that the kids would get on the school bus Monday morning to go to school and on the afternoon bus they would take that bus to their mother’s house. And vice-versa on my week.… Read the rest

Start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list

Right at the time “I thought” my life was crumbling around me…

…a song came out by country artist Toby Keith called “My List”. Some call me a “closet country”, to this day my wife will get in my car and the radio is tuned to the local country station. Opps… I forgot to tune it back to Hip-Hop! When this song came on this line in the chorus “Start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list“ hit a note with me. No pun intended. Here’s another line from the song:

“Wouldn’t change the course of fate but cuttin’ the grass just had to wait
Cause I’ve got more important things like pushin’ my kid on the backyard swing”

So, I grabbed my Palm Pilot, (latest technology at the time), and wrote down Start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list.… Read the rest

The “Bus” Stops Here

bus-stopAfter my divorce, my ex-wife rented an apartment in our children’s current school district. I unfortunately had to rent an apartment outside the school district for monetary reasons; child support and alimony. Sound familiar? So, I drove them to-and-from their elementary school daily. A few years later I remarried and we looked for a house that would be in the school district. This way I would no longer have to drive them and they could now be bused to-and-from school.

We found a beautiful house with a yard for the kids to play in, that we are still in today, while my ex has uprooted the kids 4 times.… Read the rest

The Meanest Father in the World

It was Father’s Day morning and my wife and two children, 8 and 10, made me a delicious breakfast in bed. I was awoken with eggs, bacon, pancakes, and orange juice on my tray table. Coffee was served in a mug with the heading the “The Meanest Father in the World.”

My wife asked me to read this out loud to our two young children, the mug read:

The Meanest Father in the World

meanest-mugI had the meanest Father in the world. From my earliest memories, he acted like he knew more than I did.… Read the rest
