Happy Birthday thesonofbat...

[Drakon]

Man, I wish I had it that easy. My 5 year old daughter is 700 miles away, and I simply can't make it out there every weekend. And since Mom and I don't get along as well, I can't just say "Oh, I'd like to take her for the summer" or whatever. I don't even really get the chance to talk to her as often as I'd like.

Not to make light of your situation, of course. Just be glad it's not worse.

You've told me about your situation before Drakon... sorry about that man...

Man there is nothing worse than parents who use their kids as some kind of revenge tool after a divorce.If courts monitored the home environment after a divorce or even asked the kid who they wanted to go with half the custody cases today would be reversed.

Any parent that can use their kid as a way to get back at someone like that doesn't deserve kids

Happy Birthday ^^

I didn't know there was any 8 year olds here. In fact I didn't know there was anyone younger than me.
Oh no, I've said too much.

Happy Birthday!

Only a couple more years until he can play fantasy hockey with his dad and lose to me. Oh and I hope he loves USM and isn't interested in ASM

He likes'em both...

 

[Darthphere]

For his birthday present I sent him the full run of Marville and Trouble. Happy Birthday!

If anyone cares, I just finished my nightly phone call with him...

He feels pretty good about turning 8 years old (one of the main reasons was because I started collecting comics at 8 years old, so he feels he can buy his own as well... poor kid, comics were 25 cents when I was 8 )

He's having a little party with his mom's family and he had a pretty decent day. They gave him some pencils and stuff at school, which he liked, and he got a kick outa the ecard I sent him.

Just thought you'd all like to know.

Man... I really miss my kid.

And once again, I really appreciate the stickey.

I'm glad he's having a good day.

He deserves a sticky more than these other ungrateful cynical nattering nabobs of negativism.

Hope you get to see him soon.

Your name roxs!

Thank you.

 

[Fran]

Sorry about your situation, Drakon

When I was younger, my dad would drive from Chicago to where I live, about a 3 hour drive. Every other weekend. I am truly grateful for it, and he is a great dad.

I'm sure you would do the same if you could, pal.

 

[Themanofbat]

Which one does he like better?

He is a true Spider-Man ambassador...

He likes them both the same...

 

[Erundur]

Kick ass

happy b-day little dude.

Happy Birthday!

 

[Not Jake]

Ugh man, TMOB, sorry I missed this thread yesterday.

Happy B-Day little man. My Happy Birthday to you means more than these other people's because I'm in your dad's little circle of hype friends. Usually I say it's MY circle of friends, but it's your birthday, so whatever. Your dad rules me. I guess.

For those oldbies that remember that terrible time in the summer of 2003, they know my history with my kid.

It's been over 3 years now, and I still drive 100 miles to get him every Friday afternoons, drive back 100 miles to bring him to my house, and then I drive the same 100 miles on Sunday afternoons to bring him back and then I come back home.

I've never missed my weekends with him (I get him 3 out of every 4 weekends) as well as a week in March break & X-Mas, and then every other week during the summer months (which is a nice break to all the driving).

I saw my useless lawyer last year and she was surprised that I hadn't missed my weekends after 2 years.... as if I was just going to quit on him. He's my son and I love him. Sure, the drives are tiring... but what else am I supposed to do? Give up??? No way.

I think he knows how I feel, but then again... do 8 year olds REALLY appreciate & understand the sacrifices of parents?

He's a good kid....

UGH. Man, I'd hope you can just, like, understand that I empathize with you. I'd like to type up something with a little more emotion but I'd just end up making some stupid, inappropriate joke. Sodomy clay and bodily fluid paint--these are the only artistic materials I have to express myself. So, I'm passing on this one. That's like, the most decent thing I can do.
