I know you have not talked about her in a long time and you seemed very happy with her.<br /><br />KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14463712.post-90955353620335350042011-01-21T07:36:42.713-08:002011-01-21T07:36:42.713-08:00I think it is cool that if she has her "day&q...I think it is cool that if she has her "day" with them, it is her responsibility to get them settled in for the night. That way if you want to be gone you don't have to cut your night short to get them into bed. Also if they do get a little wired because of the excitment of seeing the "other" mom, she has to deal with with consequences. Too often, the visiting parent gets too have all the fun and the other parent is the mean guy trying to keep the schedule in tact. Just another point of view. <br />Much love to all<br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14463712.post-1256335155030433432011-01-21T07:22:13.958-08:002011-01-21T07:22:13.958-08:00This is probably going to come across as judgey, w...This is probably going to come across as judgey, which I don't want but I'll run that risk to say this: do you think you are suffering at the cost of being nice and accommodating to Dakota? I see your pain through your writing and then there is Dakota who keeps creeping into your day to day life. As someone who has been through a bad breakup, that lingering relationship caused a LOT of unnecessary pain. It's one thing to co-parent and another thing to be friends. Co-parenting is a requirement, being friends or anything above civil isn't, especially if it's causing YOU pain. Just my meager two cents as an outsider looking in.<br /><br />KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14463712.post-36523107767597281812011-01-21T05:49:14.302-08:002011-01-21T05:49:14.302-08:00Why does D come over to your house? why doesn'...Why does D come over to your house? why doesn't she pick them up and take them out to dinner or what ever and then bring them home?Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487391785570138766noreply@blogger.com
