hahaha @ jonb’s comment! So true!

And go you cheryl – 5 children on your own is amazing!
I with my little girl, often think it’s hard doing it on your own.. with just 1, but 5??? hat of too you

i often think the same thing.. not with my daughters father (we don’t keep in contact – Maddie’s never met him + vice versa.. long story.. another post) but the men that i’ve dated.. i often think myself ‘Am i crazy?’ maybe i’ve overreacted, i should apologise’! But at the end of the day i’ve come to think that it’s natural, coz my girlfriends do this .. as well as other mothers/women that i know.. It’s just the way our brains are.. we think of EVERYTHING.. being a mother you change……….. they dont

Flip. Flop. Flip….

When my ex picked Benjamin up this morning, I told him again how attached Benjamin has been to him lately, asking about him all of the time. I do this because I want him to know how much he is needed and loved. For some reason, I think it helps… and …

Are your X and mine cousins or what?! I try calling him on it when he does this but it’s pointless.

I found you on Twitter and I’m now enjoying your blog. I’ve been a single Mom for over 7 years, raising 5 children alone.
You’re awesome!!

I think I’ll have to add that book to my reading list.

I think men will mention htings liek this, or blurt htings out on the spur of the moment. Then, once we look int things it is either unfeasible or a bad idea. Then, rather than admit they are wrong or accept the reality, they will boost their ego by attacking you, a little bait and switch they play on themselves. “I didn’t SAY I was moving, just thinking of it.” To me, I wonder if he didn;t get the job and is pissed about it, so he lashed out at you.

Oh lol at your ex – you could have described mine! He was also rumbling about moving to Australia and then it was as if he never said it – ever!

Its good though he is staying – well good for his son!!!

I am in a weird man mood – not sure if I love them or hate them!!!

First of all…I don’t think you are a victim of your own mind, I think you are a responsible and level headed mother! Your concerns about your X moving had nothing to do with what YOU wanted, it had to do with how Benjamin might feel/react about it. Cut yourself some slack sweetheart!

As for the “I’m not moving,” he said, “I never said I was moving. I was just asking you what you thought about that.” …it’s called not following through. If I’ve learned anything from my ex, it’s that he always talked big talk, but rarely followed through…I thing he talked the talk because it made HIM feel important to HIMSELF! LOL….

Looking forward to the “guiding light.” I can use any help I can get, apparently!

No I don’t think you overreacted. I think he changed his mind and like you said, wanted you to think you are just crazy

just me… and what do I know about men? not much, apparently.

Thanks everyone!

I love SPD’s #2 the best – at least I’m not married to him anymore! And yes, one less thing to worry about… for now. But I still know he’ll leave one day. One step at a time and I’ll be hoping for the best.

My little man is at grandma’s because the power is still out at home and day care. KILLING me… miss him so much right now.

Patricia – I’ll be over to check out that post!
