| To everyone who's made comments through the years about how it's been easier on me because I have only one child. 1.) Mortgage is same whether I have one or a dozen. 2.)I would've liked to have more, initially, but was unable to after surgery at age 26. 3.) I've been a single parent AKA ONE INCOME. You have two incomes and 2-3 kids, but only one mortgage. 4.)Bet you wish you drove my car that had 216K miles on it before I had to retire it (note facetiousness) - and I see you getting a new one every couple of years. Yeah, I moved my kid to a private school that would challenge her and acknowledge her existence - unlike the public school in the neighborhood that told me when she was in 1st grade that "we don't want to create a Doogie Howser" when her IQ had to be extrapolated because it was off your chart and that in third grade on the first day of school didn't have her in a class because "somebody told us you'd moved." Thanks for bothering to try calling me to see. It felt really awesome for my 7 yr old to think the school didn't want her on the first day.
To my child's father - why are you surprised you have no relationship with her and mad that she doesn't want you at her graduation? When she lay dying in the hospital and she begged you to stay overnight, you told her you had to go home for pizza because it was your birthday and then you and your wife spent $$, time, for in vitro even though you weren't sure you're existing child was going to survive. Oh, and thanks for contributing not one dime to her schooling, ECs, college apps, not giving her Christmas presents, anything for her 18th birthday a few months ago, etc. because you were mad that she wasn't excited about the pregnancy BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO DARN ill to get out of bed -sick enough to miss a year and 1/2 of school, not be able to graduate with her original friends, etc. You're right - she was so self-absorbed, unlike her dad. <rolling eyes> |
