Maggie’s What's Your View II

#11,151
Little after 8 got a call from ex mil she's being nice this time.
Ex wife broke her phone again and fell asleep. Ex mil says she will come pick him up. So almost 4 hours late they both show up to get him.
Sorry court system is so messed up to give her more time then I get, zero responsibility.

At least work tonight is easy.

Wife and I took a couple of friends up onto the Pryor Mountains for a UTV spin today. There is a large herd of wild horses up there. We were lucky enough to see nearly a hundred today in various groups - far more than I have ever seen in a single trip before. The horses fight a lot, so their hide is pretty messed up - you can see a little bit of it in the pics.

Lunch down the road from Pen's Cabin - a quick visit to it and photo op, then across the top of the mountain. Wind chill above tree line was pretty brisk - mid-thirties by my estimation. We visited the Big Ice Cave, and then bugged out for the ride home.

Bryan, so sorry you're going through that. Powda's absolutely spot on. Don't ever quit. The most noble thing you can do in life is stick by (and with) your kid, no matter what.

When my girlfriend (future wife (now, of 35 years)) and I first met, she had a son that was 3 and a half, from a previous marriage. Biological dad was a fuk knob. The son is now 42 and guess who he calls Dad ?

I never badmouthed anyone or tried to play anyone against anybody else. Kids are smart and will figure it out in time.
The journey may (and probably will) be painful for all, but kids will realize who it is that has and will be there for them. They do remember, and that person is you. I went through it and I know that is fact.

Hang in there, it is not only worth it, but one of the best things you can do with your life. As Powda mentioned, if you wanna talk, feel free to give he or myself a shout. I would be honored to help/share my experience.

very well said threadcutter...
for your childrens sake always do the right thing, no shit talking, not a word, its hard sometimes but
if a fuckin loud mouth like me can do it, you can too.
my ex just remarried, and i saw on my 16 year old sons phone, when i called his phone to find it, REAL DAD.
my sons phone said, realdad...
not a peep, dude
shit can hurt, but dont let the kids see, and dont put them in the middle.
it will happen over and over again, but like i said, if i can keep my big fat mouth shut
you can too.

take those REALDAD situations for what they really are.
those fuckers made him put DAD
for her new husband, but im labeled REALDAD, ill take it...

O/S86;

Right on. Never use kids to try and settle petty squabbles between ex-spouses. You will not only hurt your kids, but yourself worse in the long run.

Take the high road, be the one to set the example. (My wife and) I did. It works.

i really could go on and on, but its not necessary.
the love you show your kids is the only important thing they need.
and when i say your kids, notice i didnt say biological, you never know when you could get blessed
w the privilege of caring for others children. we care for 3 other children as our own as well.

@oneshot86

1. Please change your avatar thing. Messing me up. I thought @ArmyJerry was saying heartfelt things about raising kids...?

2. You couldn't be more right. I get that with momma’s two kids and they know how much I love and care for them. They also know I am more interested in family life than my own crap, such as havin fun on here with you jackoffs.....?

Case in point. Saturday after the birthday party, I left to drop my kiddo at her moms as she was there for the weekend. As i get back, most of the cleaning up is done with just some of my personal stuff to pack up and the nitpicky stuff as I wont leave balloons tied up or trash around..... her ex was there still and too much a douche to work hard.
Her son (who turns 8 today!) yelled from the trampoline I just put in, that he was happy I was there and would I take his dad’s spot jumping because I was “better and more fun”. Not really sure how his dad took that..... and dont give a damn

Im still riding high on that.

I did say heartfelt things, I said they cost a shit ton of money so keep spending it on them, when you kick them out you will feel rich,,, if that aint heartfelt I dont know what is.

Oh dont let them join the marines Navy CG or the AF,,,, now thats heartfelt

And dont let them go to Ivy League or public schools , or any mil academy,,,,, now that really heartfelt

Sitting on the front porch watching next year's steaks, reading a book and enjoying a glass of Blanton's. In the morning I am going to pick up the 454 and transmission for the Oldsmobile.
It's an anniversary gift to the wife. She says the old gal needs more power.
32 years today!! She's a good woman to put up with me for that long.

Jeep is having communication problems. 4×4 system is going nuts. Transmission won't always shift. So my parents picked up my son this morning. I tried to sleep in. Woke up 20 minutes later then if I had picked him up. Girlfriend got an extra hour.

Sunrise on the way to meet up with my parents.
