doesn't the room feel warm? the dad is a boner. however, I feel that it's the court that should prove that the dad's intentions are foul. if so, then he should pay with no visitation until he can prove proper motives. Hey Todd...how's life? Been a…

Everything is cool. We just need to provide some type of proof that she is at least getting medical bills with her address. Either way though, the system(s) is not set up for relationships that are dissolved (especially healthy co-parenting). Becaus…

Jordan let us know how it works out. I think this an interesting legal issue. I am sure it could help someone else in the future. Glad you are being amicable about this I had a court order for the ex to pay the med bills he never did. Could have gon…

I would suggest reading her works insurance companies policies. It probably says something to the effect of custody. A notarized statement from both of you stating your custody is 50/50 with her providing insurance for both and you claiming one chil…

Thanks for the reply. Her company is doing an audit this year and is making everyboy prove their eligibility. Fortunetly, I just found out we can show them a doctors bill that has a proper address or something to that affect...

My daughter bridged the gap

I never wanted to buy into the idea that men are from Mars or that women are from Venus (isn't that the name of the book?). However, without my consent this notion has been forced upon me. I guess the idea that I can't just assume my daughter is on the same page as myself was first described to me by her mom, but becuase I hold a certain level of contempt for mom, I didn't take heed. Unfortunately, this only hurt my ability to be a better dad.

My little girl is five now and she is maturing more… Continue

Change (or lack thereof)

I spend most of my day judging. Typically I'm judging myself, but I don't hesitate to judge others. In retro[intro]spect (I think I just made up a new word!) I don't like this about myself (and now I'm judging myself again). However, the one judgment I hold on others that I don't seem to feel too bad about is a person's lack of self degradation. I hate ego. It's annoying. I don't mean to say we should all take up some sort of ho-hum Eeyore lifestyle that revolves around conversations of who feel… Continue

The guilty party

I gave it a shot. I guess I don't have the resources to sustain another [perfect] human in my life. It's apparent that I have fallen victim to my hypothesised "emotionally disposable culture."

I was seeing someone for around three months. Another single parent and in pretty much the same socioeconomic status; there was nothing to run from except the relationship itself. I relate it to winning the lottery and deciding to forfeit the winnings to somebody more deserving, because I wasn't in a posi… Continue

"I don't think I'm going to have kids."

This is what my four-year-old tells me tonight as I tuck her asthmatic little frame into my body. Of course she didn't just come out and say this as a matter of fact. We were talking about how I would be her Dad forever and she asked if I would be her Dad when I was a Grandpa and I said, "I won't be a Grandpa unless you or your brother has a baby." Whether or not that was the correct response is unimportant, what I loved is why she didn't want to have kids: "I don't want to cook all the t… Continue

A Brave New World

I had pretty much concluded that life is for the most part random. I believe in something greater (lets skip the details), but what is a life if you can't live it. Meaning, we choose our path because free will coupled with divine intervention would be paradoxical.

I've never been one to look for a great meaning in things because of this. I see every moment as a learning opportunity and if you don't look for that spec of truth, then you are doomed to repeat it; signs are what I thought we… Continue

Hey Jordan,

I am taking Old Testament II honors, New Testament II honors, Christian Leadership, Children's Ministries, and then a required chapel for the honors courses. What does your load look like? This is my first semester as a truly single mom... so it is a little intimidating. But so far, so good.

What courses are you signed up for? Good luck this semester!

Jordan, I liked your response to the Forgiveness post. We do seem to have the same take on lots of issues.... Great minds think alike! Fall semester started for me this week. What about you?

Heya Jordan, it was great hearing from you! Have you registered for fall semester yet? I've enjoyed taking the summer off, but I am ready to get back in the swing of things. Hope all is well with you!

How is your summer going? I'm glad you had your angels (with little shining halos) on Father's Day for a couple of hours.... sucks that you had to work! But you gotta do what you gotta do. Are you taking summer school too?

Hi

I added you as a friend by mistake. I meant to hit cancel when it told me you had to approve me. I thought I was just adding you to a list of people I thought was interesting. I didn't want to impose my friendship on someone I didn't know. So anyway yeah I meant to hit canel and hit the wrong button so you can ignore me or say hello. I'm new to all this and kind of an internet dork so sorry if I'm intruding.

Peace

Lori

Good luck with finals! I finished up a few weeks ago.. thank goodness. I'm taking a break this summer to get moved into my house. School is time consuming... but so worth it! Take care.
