Careful what you ask for -- part 3

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Recently, I wrote about my son not wanting to near his mother. It

seems this is something that comes up every summer, or at least for

the last 3.

Now that my wife has made some changes and plays some of my sons

games, he wants her around more. He is also smart enough to know my

wife wants him to do things with her. So he is using this to his

advantage.

For example, we were at an amusement park -- yes again ( we live

there and at the beach in the summer). Those of you who remember from

the past 2 years, you know what is coming. I had been going on rides

all day with . I was tired. So he wanted to go on a ride with

his mother. She had said earlier in the day that she would go on one

ride with him. Janet was also saying she was tired but

insisted, saying she had promised him a ride. She finally agrees and

off we go. takes her to the biggest roller coaster he is

allowed to go on. Janet and amusemaent park rides are a very bad

combination. She managed not to throw up on the ride but barely made

it to the restroom. I am glad was asleep on the way home and

did not hear what Janet had to say about rollercoasters ( see

previous message about bad language) but for the last few days she

has not complained once that only wants dad around.

I live for moments like this.
