Wouldn't be PPD if the better team actually had home field advantage like it should...neat idea, Bud Selig.

I saw the movie in the theater and don't remember too much about it because the fat girl in front of me was eating a hot dog and chased it down with a diet soda. The entire movie, she was burping up the most toxic fumes imaginable. Every few minutes, while my stomach was trying to stabalize itself from the crappy filming, I'd catch a waft of that offensive odor and begin to feel the vomit triggers activate. There were no other seats in the theater and I was smack dab in the middle of the row. The entire experience was awful. I've never seen the movie again, so I don't really have much to add to it.

I saw it in a black theater (yeah, we have those in MN). That moved it from awful and boring to pretty funny as most of the theater was yelling #### at the screen.

that was the #1 defense in the league that year, IIRC. they were unbeaten at home and it also was pretty windy.he drove them to what should have been a game winning FG in the 4th quarter.

Apologies for how long this is going to be. Serious questions for the divorced Dads here:
How far away does your kid(s) live from you? Same town? Next town over? How the distance away effect your relationship with your offspring? Does your ex have a boyfriend/husband that your child is around?
Coming up on 3 years since the split of my marriage and since then I kept the house and my ex moved into an apartment with her boyfriend. I made out quite well in the divorce, I got the house and mostly everything in it and my entire 401K and she basically got the washer/dryer, Oprah DVDs and she gets child support (which is kind of minimal since we split custody and I also took most of our "debt") There is no alimony. She basically agreed to all this because she wanted the divorce and she did bad things (her boyfriend came into the picture before she ever brought up divorce) I have every reason to hate her guts and wish bad things upon her and she completely understands that I should feel this way. Granted I do feel that way, but once I realized where we were headed (divorce) I channeled everything into how this would effect my then 2 year old son and all the research I did showed that it is best for the child if the parents maintain a good relationship. So for his sake I swallowed and undescribable amount of pride and have maintained a good relationship with my ex and her family. Other than my immediate family, no one else knows that she cheated because I don't think it would do any good for my son to someday find out that his Mom cheated on his Dad. I suppose when he is much older and if he asks, I will tell him, but for now I've decided there's nothing good to come from telling the world that she cheated on me. She has thanked me countless times for handling things the way that I have and she has been great about making sure that her boyfriend isn't around when I'm picking up or dropping off my son. She knows that deep inside I would love to end her boyfriend's life in the most brutal way possible.
So everything has been fine for the past almost 3 years. Little Zooks has been attending pre-school and when he's not in school my Mother watches him and she also lives in the same town. Conveniently I only work about 12 minutes away and everyday I drop off and pick up Little Zooks at school and have lunch with him at my Mother's house, even on the days that aren't my "scheduled days". (btw, my scheduled days are Mon, Tues and every other weekend and we sometimes rotate Wednesdays) Everything has worked out great so far. There has literally been no major issues or fights with my ex and I've been able to keep my hatred for her boyfriend bottled up inside of me without creating any issues.
Now last night she called me to tell me that she (and her boyfriend) have an opportunity to move into a house with a "rent to own" option. It is apparently a great opportunity for her and financially it may be an improvement for her compared to her current situation. The only issue is that this new house is in the next town over. Probably about 20 to 25 minutes away from me. This would mean a different school (his current pre-school is 4 minutes from my house and is the same elementary school that he would be going to kindergarten and 1st grade at) This would also effect how often my Parents get to see Little Zooks. My ex awkwardly was asking me about what I thought about the whole situation and asked how awkward it would be for me and my family if it was her boyfriend that dropped off Little Zooks to me or my parents on occasion since he works in this new town and has greater flexibility with his job than she does. For my son's sake, I can probably deal with having to see the boyfriend, however I'm quite sure the rest of my family would choke the life out of him if they were ever face to face with him.
We're supposed to talk about this whole thing more over the next couple days. I don't know if I'm making too much of a big deal about this or not. Everything has been perfect for the last few years and now this throws a monkey wrench into everything. I just know that this is going to effect the amount of time I have with him and he is really the only thing that I am attached to or care about. But I realize it's not about me, it's about what's best for him. And it's not like I can really stop her from moving without creating a tremendous amount of drama and tension between her and I. So I guess I'm curious how other single Dads handle being further away from their children. Am I over reacting here? Am I being a jerk about this? Advise me. I don't really think there is anyone in real life that I can talk to about this, so it is much easier to talk internet people.
Sorry for this non-funny post about "real life" stuff. Please give me any advice you have and then go back funny stuff.

Sorry to hear it, Zooks, but I don't think it's going to be the end of the world. 20-25 minutes away is much better than some divorced dads have it. Some guys (even guys on here) are several states away. That's much worse. What you have right now is convenience and make no mistake - it's played an essential role in establishing a great, working relationship with your ex-wife and has no doubt benefited the development of your son.
That being said, I think you can make this work without losing much if any time with him. It sounds like you and your ex have the sort of relationship that's agreeable to some give and take. She seems to realize that you have made tremendous sacrifices thus far (keeping quiet about the affair is not only noble, but is indicative of your level of dedication to your child's well being) and must realize now that she asking even more out of you. This is your bargaining chip. See if you can work with her on altering the custody so that instead of mon/tues and every other weekend, you are now EVERY Friday/Saturday night and you pick up Wednesday night as well.
Yes, I realize it's a new school and I also realize further that your mother will lose out on the bonding and time she enjoys with him now, but he will adjust to a new school and much better to do it now than when he's older and your mother can perhaps supplement what was lost during the day with sleepovers on the weekend so Daddy Zooks can lay wood to portly co-workers and rock the Chamber of Commerce meet & greets.
I would think that if you agreed to this move, she would agree to an alteration of your shared custody. Give and take. It's what's worked so well for you thus far, no reason to think it can't continue. You seem to have a flexible enough work schedule so that on Wed/Thurs you leave a little early and come in a little late to off-set the 25 minute drive. And if you have him every Fri/Sat that's more than fair for agreeing to a move, IMO.
As for the boyfriend picking up/dropping off I have only this: My wife interfaces with my ex-wife all the time. But 3.5 years ago when we disclosed to my ex-wife that we were dating, she was ready to murder us both. We couldn't be in the same room together. It was awkward, awful, uncomfortable, heated, nasty....and then it all went away. Time tends to heal even the most painful of wounds. I realize your mileage varies, but if you can live with it, then so can your family. You have done nothing but put your child first, so I think your family can do the same here. Yes, this guy is a complete jerk for what he did and I'd have Homer push him so hard he'd never get up again if it were up to me...but he's also willing to assist in the transportation of your son, signifying to me that he cares and if that's the case, he might not be all bad.
Good luck, GB. Best she stabilizes herself in a rent to own situation 25 minutes away than 2.5 hours away.

'zooks--can't help you much, I don't think. My ex lives 10 minutes away in the same town. We've been split for 3 years, and I have a 7 year old daughter. She goes to private school, so if my wife moved she wouldn't change schools. The agreement we signed says she can't move out of the school district without my agreement, and if I don't agree and she still wants to move than the custody arrangement changes in my favor.
Eventually, I figure something like what you're describing will happen (hell, knuckles wants to move in with me), and we'll have to deal with it.
