Jean Harris Quote on Bachelors

Quote:

Loving an old bachelor is always a no-win situation, and you come to terms with that early on, or you go away.



Philip Cameron was on a mission and visited Stella's orphanage. She inspired him with her leadership and kindness to her fellow orphans. While he was back in America, she became a victim of the sex trade. From this tragedy he created Stella’s House. Stella’s House gives the girls that turn 16 a home to go to instead of the streets and predators.  They are now working on a third house and have been given Stella's old orphanage to run from the goverment.

Lying:  And I am not just talking about well thought out lies but sence less any reason to lie, lies.  Why lie in front of the kids to make a point or try and win an argument, just to take a shot at the x? Kids are not stupid, they know you are lying. You think they do not hear you on the phone? If they do not call you out on it, you can bet your ass they are asking someone about it. What message does this send? Is ego more important then the children?

Dating: It is not a brilliant idea to introduce your kids to someone you are not at least 90% sure is going to be part of your life for a long time to come.  Using your kids to get laid will not earn you the parent of the year award. Having them spend the night over before you are married also not a good move. Making out in front of them, especially if they just met the kids, not a great idea.  Not cool to make the kids call this person by an enduring parent name. Also not cool to create that name yourself.  “This is your new Mommy Betty Big Ones.”

 Discussing your x:  Do you want someone saying anything bad about your parents? Most folks are ready to fight for their parents honor.  So why on earth would you say anything bad about your child’s Mother or Father? 

Sharing your kids time:  Sometimes things, people, events are going to come up that will be fun and enriching  for your children. Some times these opportunities will happen on your day to have the kids but it is your x's connections that make this experience possible. Do not be a selfish prick and make them miss time with family they do not get to see much or something unique. You may miss some of your time but it is ok your kids grow from the experience.

Payback:  Why give a shit about “oneuping” a dumb ass at the expense of your kids. I do not know about you but respect for the opinion of my x is not high on my priority list. However I highly respect her important relevance in my children’s lives. For that reason alone, I do my best to not argue and let it go.

Now you maybe think this is basic common since. Well just about every scenario listed above happened to all three of us.

To wrap up, we all got issues. We all have gone through trials. We may have been royally screwed. Learn and grow or don’t it is your path your journey. However if you brought a life into this world you alone are responsible for being the best you can be to guide that life. It does not matter what your past is or what is going on in your life. Suck it up and do what is right for your kids.

Albert Einstein Quote on Love

Quote:

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

 I try hard to give everyone I come across the respect they deserve as my spiritual brother and sister, as we all come from God. In this case because it was from a distance I judged this guy and really did not think about him as the individual going through some ruff shit.

Positive thoughts and prayers are very strong tools we have that can make peoples lives better. Negative thoughts are not good for us or the people we direct their way.  I hope that next time I am compelled to show compassion first.
