Digging around in the kid’s head tonight revealed some interesting things:
his father told him that we broke up because we disagreed about him.
he and his dad talked about weddings.
It was a long, hard snuggle time tonight. He wanted to hear about his parents’ wedding, every last detail. I had to endure describing it as it […]
This diatribe will go just as well towards vindictive, angry mothers as it will fathers but, as I’ve just gotten done with a tour of the Blogosphere and read some of the nasty, crappy things some fathers have done to their children to get back at their ex’es… this post will address revenge-seeking fathers.
You suck.

I wished, not for the first time, that the King of Everything’s father lived closer. They have their own relationship, and the KoE is getting better about expressing what he does and does not like, and how he expects to be treated. I hope he can continue to do so, as he grows up, in […]
Please tell me that schools today are teaching children how to read statistics and come to their own conclusions? Because the piece of fluff the New York Times pulled out of its nether regions is a great lesson in how to make the numbers say whatever you want them to. GASP! 51% of Women Are […]
“Why doesn’t my daughter’s father seem interested in her?” a friend wondered aloud the other day. “Sure, when he’s out in public with her, he puts on a big show, but then he’ll miss his nights with her, no explanation, no nothing. And when she was a baby, he didn’t have anything to do with […]
Maybe I can say this because I’m not a rabid Beatles fan — I was caught between Kiss and the Who when I was coming of age, thank you very much. (What that says about me, I’m not quite sure…) But the vitriol being spouted about celebrities as they gear up to split up is […]
One of the things I felt I had to agree to in order to leave the UAE with our son was that the ex would get him for Christmas. I hated it, wasn’t comfortable with it, and knew in my heart that it would all be too much for my three year old: leave the […]
I can’t do right by my son. If I could do right by my son, I’d be a stay at home mom, or work part time, and pick him up after school every day. We’d play Candyland and fingerpaint, bake cookies together and read as many stories as we want to. He’d have his mama […]
I suck. Everything was going well, on the surface. A friend picked up the King of Everything for a playdate with her daughter — his bestest friend in the whole wide world. Great! I show up to make dinner for everyone, and he’s happily playing, pretending to ice skate on some old carpenter knee pads. […]
When I first began to write Solomother, oh these two months ago, I touched on the fact that there’s more than one way to become a single mother: divorce isn’t the only way. More and more women are choosing to be single mothers, through known or unknown donors. But the old fashioned way still works… […]
