so someone pointed out that i allowed contact with bk even though i said last week that i wasn't going to communicate with him. what i meant when i said that was that i wasn't going to have any discussions with him that didn't directly relate to the kids, scheduling, coparenting. and honestly, the week where we had no communication left me feeling very 'clean' of things. i'm interested, from other people who have been through this as a coparent or step-parent, how exactly does one deal with situations like happened on friday without speaking to one another? i'm damned if i do and damned if i don't. i'm 'alienating' my children if i don't make an honest effort to get them together with their dad but then, i'm taking it in the ass if i plan my whole life around when he's available and decides to show up as planned. i'm doing the best i can. i'm genuinely looking for advice. i'm trying to spare my children any further heartache. they have a right to know and see their father and i have a right to a break once in a while.
oh, and i took another job. i'll be writing social studies questions for a small educational publishing company that does test prep software. i'm actually really excited about this. the material is drawn from the california curriculum for 6th - 8th grade and the questions are to be all multiple choice. i get to work from home. hopefully i'll be able to hire w's big sister as a mother's helper so i can get some work done during the day. so now i'm watching one (possibly two kids starting in august), grading papers (when school starts again), writing test questions, and running a chocolate business. holla back if you like lazy bitches.
