Default Parenting Class!
Scheduled for tomorrow night.

STBXW went to hers. Fifty people in a crowded room. Said it looked like a lot of them were scoping the room for their next "true love"!!!

Since my STBXW was glad to give me the 30 second run-down on what I've been doing wrong for the last 12 years - do I really even need to go?

Ugh...

My parenting class was a pep talk about healing and moving on to the next 'One and only' ...did an exercise where we picked our favorite colors and based on our preference it would determine what type of person would be compatible with us. We also got to see a video that reminded us not to punch your ex in the face in front of the children(no scene where she calls 911 and gets a restraining order btw....just a discussion about how she 'encouraged' that type of response..yikes!).....and this was all sponsored by the local court.

Really? Sounds like a lot of...fun? Maybe we'll play the Dating game in my class?

that_girl - yes - these are part of the legal process - at least here in Indiana.

Oh wow. I didn't know people had to do that. Was it a waste of time?

lol. Just seems odd to have to go to parenting classes... I think some people should go before they decide to have kids!

Makes sense to me. For some dumb reason, I had pictured my (STBX)W and I going to a small class - together - to talk about how to parent together, but separate. That would make "some" sense. I can already see a few areas where we DO and WILL butt heads. And I doubt a 4 hour class (2 hours on two nights) - taken separately - will do much to clear those issues up.

In CT that class was mandatory. I am almost 100%sure my ex went there with his cheating wh**e. In my class there were few with there new "love". In fact one of them had the stbx h there as well. Disgusting!

Just wow.

My friend said in OK, it takes 18 months to divorce if you have children. Kinda silly if the marriage is volatile.
