Ok- say you are a parent that has logged precious little time with your children in almost a year, and you have the opportunity to spend part of a day with them.
You leave the special needs child with his mother because he is sure to "not like the parade"and take off with 2 of the others. . .for a day of bonding happy togetherness.
Remember one of your children has asthma and both are under the age of 12. You venture to the shore of a huge body of water to watch boat races. . .and realize you have a pressing appointment at 1pm. . .and it is 12:45pmish.
What do you do?
A. You call the other parent and have them come and get the kids.
B. You forget about your appointment and enjoy the day with the kids.
or
C. You LEAVE THE KIDS WITH A TOTAL STRANGER AND INFORM THE OTHER PARENT AS YOU ARE DRIVING AWAY FROM THEM!
Guess which option their father chose this weekend?
That's right, in order to get to this EVER so important meeting. . .he left my daughter and son with a woman he met at the water. . .they bonded when she asked HIM to watch her kid while she went to the bathroom! ANYONE who would look at him and think "hey, he could watch the kids" is an utter fool.
Un beFUCKINGlivable! That's right, in this day and age, he trusts my children, MY CHILDREN with someone he did not even know. . .and well, needless to say. . .we are going to have to have some formal ground rules set. . .and if he is not going to follow the Golden Parental rule. . .NO LEAVING CHILDREN WITH STRANGERS EVER. . .we are going to have issues! While I understand he may be setting up his "well if I am SO INCOMPETENT, I will not even TAKE them ANYMORE" defense, I do not care, better they not spend time with someone so freaking selfish that he would leave them with some stranger to fulfil his "obligations" to himself. . .yep, that's right, it WAS a booty call he was answering!
The best part? When I raced over there to get them? She was SMOKING RIGHT NEXT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO HAS BEEN HOSPITALIZED NOT ONCE, not TWICE, not THREE times, but FOUR TIMES with attacks that damn near killed her!
So- there it is. I married someone who, when caught between parenting and his own needs, chose his own needs. . .and left his children in a possibly dangerous situation to attend to his selfish nature. AND MY EDUCATION IS SELFISH????
Hell to the no.
Damn, totally did not really see this coming, but damn.

Gooch
DANG, you have a right to be angry. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of your wrath! Do you get to use a kick-ass legolas pair of knives?!
Yeah. . .kick ass is right. . .I am still in shock that he did this, but the anger has kind of replaced the initial numbness!
Wow!
