My New Beginning

I so want to go to a haunted house! It's hilarious when you are the parent going through with them. You know they won't be harmed but you understand that they are scared and want to console them at the same time! The clown, at the end, was priceless!!

He did well...going through the whole thing. I know adults that won't dare-they have nightmares!

My w won't do that. Scares her too much. He did great. That is why I made sure to chat with about it afterward cause I know he was scared even after. Just wanted to let him know that I was proud of how he did.

FA love hearing the stories about you and your son - keep posting them -
I am bracing myself for my son's 11th birthday party today - about 12 friends coming over - have made the requested ice cream cake - but it will be a busy day!

Hang in there K....13 boys and testosterone!!!

Is this the same son's birthday or your other son's birthday?

Party on...

Well - actually he has invited two girls ! a first - so that may affect dynamics a bit - although not necessarily for the better. We have a huge back yard - so - we traditionally mark out a soccer field (my H did this the other day) and they just run around and kick the ball and eat pizza and ice-cream cake - it's pretty hot here this time of year!
I actually find parties no drama - I love them -
think I am prepared!

Good fun! We had one boy come to my d's party this year. He was great fun and a trooper. Blended in with the girl and he's the HS quarterback! haha

knortoh · 10-30-2009, 04:42 PM

Smart move on his part!

Corpuswife · 10-30-2009, 06:45 PM

He was the cutest boy...blended right in. He was NO dummy for sure!

This is round 2 for me. I have alittle bit of experience. Evidently I don't learn very fast..

knortoh · 10-30-2009, 09:45 PM

But LH you are a bit of a guru for us !

Loving Husband · 10-31-2009, 08:20 AM

I am jack of all trades and a master at none!!! I just did a lot of reading.. I also was willing to listen to all you guys and what I was reading. It all painted the picture. Now I am trying to help others see what I have read and discovered.. Funny thing is all our stories are different but really the same. Think about it..

Feelingalone · 10-31-2009, 08:23 AM

Yes LH I find that when you boil it all down everything is pretty similar at the core with just varying personalities involved.

Reading a lot of stuff here as well.

Loving Husband · 10-31-2009, 09:49 PM

It helps let people know they are not alone and what does work.. Hope everybody had a happy halloween.. I am posting some pics of my family on the site. we all dressed up..

Feelingalone · 11-01-2009, 09:32 AM

LH, see I didn't get to do Halloween with my son. He went as Darth Maul. Like K said, its the little things that get to me like that.

Corpuswife · 11-01-2009, 09:54 AM

FA: I hear you...I suppose you will trade off on certain holidays or have an arrangement. It's difficult because of the age of your child.
Who is Darth Maul?

Like K and LH..younger children are involved...more events and details missed.

Although it all heartbreak.

Has your Wife gone to the house to get her stuff yet? Does she try to talk to you?
