Comments on: On a new form of lust http://mommyismoody.com/2009/11/28/on-a-new-form-of-lust/ ...sometimes, I need a time-out, too.

My situation is semi-unique in the sense that I have little issue with her not forgiving me for her dad not being a part of her life - if it got to the point wherein he needed to be removed from it. I've always said that I would <b>much</b> rather her hate me, or think I was a spiteful bitch, than for her to grow up, never really being able to rely upon him, always feeling as if he was just around part-time because that was as much as he wanted her, or feeling secondary to his drinking/partying ways. That kills a kid's self-esteem. That's daddy issues in a nut-shell. I'm not especially willing to make her learn that lesson the hard way, even if all the rest of them, I am. Then again, I could just be fantasizing. Thanks, for you sharing, too.

I've been on the coast since 1980 and I can't take the winters anymore. Last January was my second trip to Thailand, and my wife came along this time. Neither of us wanted to come back. I did some research. You can rent a luxury 6-bedroom, 4-bath house with pool, pay the live-in maid/cook and groundskeeper/security, plus pay your Internet, cell-phones, scooter lease, utilities, etc. for about C$1500 a month just outside Chiang Mei ... a city that (like everywhere in Thailand outside of Bangkok & Phuket) is safer and friendlier than Vancouver. Too bad it gets so hot there.... I've got itchy feet too. I can "mostly" manage my staff of 15 remotely, but not quite. Some days you're managing professionals, and somedays you're running an adult daycare. Most days its a mix. But in general, I'm totally with you! Fortunately for me, my kids are grown, and issues with "the ex" went away years ago. So its a lot simpler for me. You have 2 families that your daughter is connected to, and if you remove one now she might never forgive you later. its tricky. There are no easy solutions. Thanks for sharing.
