Stupid.

So, I finally came to an agreement with Delyn's dad about child support. It's been ridiculous. To spare you all the gory details, I'll just tell you that he is being held financially responsible for probably about a third of what he SHOULD be held responsible for (yeah ,lying to the IRS, a good trait to look for in a man). There is so much more I could write here, but I'm not.

Anyways...on to my point...One of the things that both of us have to do is take a parenting class. No joke. I had to pay $70 to take a course online to teach me how to be a parent to a child who is suffering from divorced parents. Its' a 4 hour course, so I'm taking my time. So far this is what I've learned:
  1. Do not use "four letter words" around your child in regards to your ex-spouse. However it does not mention using "four letter words" around your child in regards to other things. It also does not specify what the "four letter words" are. So, i have no idea. I mean, "idea"! That has four letters!!! Be specific if you're gonna go there! Maybe if I'm hip (LMAO) and add "shizzle" to everything I'll be covered. "Yourshizzle Fashizzle is an Asshizzle." Will that work?
  2. Divorce is freaking expensive. Don't do it.

So yeah, it's settled, and yeah, it sucks. But at least it's something. The man has no interest in seeing the most beautiful baby in the world. So be it. He'll have to answer to someone, someday.
