Am I Wrong For This???

Ok I think most of ya'll know I got a kid. If you don't you do now! :lol:

Anyway he is 8 going on 9 and is headed to the third grade. I take care of my son. I get him every 2 weeks for the weekend and I've kept him for around 2 months this summer. I have to break it up with his momma to keep her happy.

Anyway he called and said he wanted to spend his last week of vacation here with me so I went and got him Monday. Mind you this is like a 30 to 40 minute trip with no traffic to go get him. Imagine with traffic in Atlanta.

His mom calls up today at 1:00 talking about he has a open house at his school today at 5:00 and she does not want to get off from work early so she wants me to go. She gets off work at 4:00 but whatever here is the kicker.

SHE LIVES TWO BLOCKS FROM THE SCHOOL! :angry:

Two blocks. I swear if I had a football and stood in her front yard I could hit the side of the damn school. Two blocks and she gets off at 4:00. The thing lasts until 6:30. But she wants me to make the probably above an hour at this point drive over there just to pick up his class schedule and drive all the way back home (driving past her house by the way) because she don't feel like it? So I told her to make her husband (who doesn't have a job) go up there and grab the schedule and she said it's my son and blah, blah, blah...

Two damn blocks vs. 2 hour round trip. I said hell na'll. Am I wrong? :dunno:
 
Yeah you were wrong it is your kid sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of your children. That 2 hours out of you life or however long it is won't kill you. Now if you had something planned for you and your son that could not be changed and she popped this shit on you at the last minute then yes she would be wrong. It seems that things are peaceful between you and the moms you shouldn't let something this small come between the peace.

Dude she live up the street from the school. It would be different if it were and hour for me and maybe 30 minutes for her.

I have plans on going to buy his school supplies and buying him some shoes and clothes for school today right after I send off my damn child support check. :hmm: Cause I still do that cause I am a good damn daddy. I don't think I become a bad daddy because I don't want to bend on some bullshit like this. How early does she have to get off from a job that lets out at 4:00 for her to make a function literally at her doorstep within a 2 and a half hour period.

That's not pointed at you though. I'm just stating my case is all. :cool:

she could have just copped a super duper attitude at you and said fine his other dad will go. Then you would really be pissed off. :dunno: I don't have any kids but again it sounds like small potatoes to me.

It is small potatoes. On her side though. I mean even if she missed the open house she lives 2 blocks away? If he lived with me I would be up at the school in the teachers and admins face from jump anyway. Hell even if I couldn't make it if I lived two blocks from the school I would be so cool with the admin up there that I would get them to drop the shit off at my damn door step on there way home! :lol:

She get off at 4. Let's say she gets off at 5 today or even 6. She lives two blocks away. I'm not exaggerating with the football thing. Well maybe a little but you can stand in her front yard and see the front AND the back side of the school. She is that close man. :smh:

so are you saying you are only willing to take an active role in your sons education if he lived with you? I hope i am reading too much into that statement.

No. :lol:

I already have a more active relationship with his teachers and admin than she does and she lives two blocks away.

I get emails and progress reports from his school through the school server and I make pop up visits whenever I get a chance. I go to book fairs and all of that when I have a chance. The front office knows me well.

I do all of that from an hour away.

Funny story. I have been up there a few times with the girl I was telling everybody about that broke up with me over some bullshit. Anyway I took my cousin up there with me right before the end of school and the assistant principal pulled me to the side and asked me if me and his mom broke up cause she would help council my son if I did! :lol:

I'll let you fill in the blanks on that story! :lol:
 
one last less serious question. You live in the south and you cats believe in friday night lights even for pee wee sports. What will you do with little andey is playing baseball in the spring football in the fall basketball in the winter

This is sort of solved because he lives close enough to the school to walk to practice as long as a coach or something watches him. I'll probably go up there and talk to them about it.

But that's going to be a tough time especially during baseball season because of all of the games. I'll make as many games as I can and I'll have to have a talk with him about the games I can't.
 
I dont think your wrong. It is a larger inconvenience for you to get there... if she lives really that closer, she should go-especially if the child isn't required to be there.. if the child had to be there, and he was with you, then yeah you would have to suck it up and go...
 
sounds like she is using the child to try and control you

Is your life that fucking miserable that you see conflict duress and strife in every fucking situation? :confused:

Everything isn't fucking war of the roses.

Jesus! :smh:
