They are sometimes better at rolling with the changes than we are. But even though the role of being an everyday father may have changed, they will need to know you are there for them everyday and that's a big one. <BR/>I'm sure you'll have no trouble sending out that vibe.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-60390204163878870472008-02-18T10:55:00.000-05:002008-02-18T10:55:00.000-05:00yeah, thanks ricardo, the divorce was difficult in that i felt we had destroyed our childrend`s home.<BR/><BR/>they have adapted, and we are just as close as we were then.<BR/><BR/>i just had to get over my own personal loss of the role of an everyday father.<BR/><BR/>done and dusted.<BR/><BR/>a new life emerges.<BR/><BR/>enjoy your hiatus brother.......dr.alistairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308832220555479141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-15324398056961677972008-02-17T23:50:00.000-05:002008-02-17T23:50:00.000-05:00You're right Dr.A.

Your question is valid as well. Families DO NOT stick together and it's happened to yours truly. It's become an everyone for themselves deal when crisis erupts. Is it placing too much value on self importance? Has sacrifice become a lost concept? We have a very disposable culture and I think it has seeped into the concept of family as well.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-29614685428488476002008-02-16T14:52:00.000-05:002008-02-16T14:52:00.000-05:00the `50s were a post war boom period, and an amplification of the pre-existing consensus of romantic love and pair-bonding that we have come to know as marriage and family. both the state we are in now and that which existed in the `50s are economic reailties.<BR/><BR/>sure some women were unhappy then, as some men are unhappy now.<BR/><BR/>what i am indicating is that there has never been a deterioration of the family until now.<BR/><BR/>historically, hardship brings families together.<BR/><BR/>now the opposite is happening.dr.alistairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308832220555479141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-19841356094624930302008-02-16T11:22:00.000-05:002008-02-16T11:22:00.000-05:00Ricardo - It was jdate.

As for the Juke Box, I imagine his place must be like an attic full of random things that work and don't work What dating site is this you are on again? I want to get a sample of the ladies on there. <BR/><BR/>SJ - I am running...to the King Fisher Calender Girls!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Clay - You are a savage!<BR/><BR/>Dr.A - Whoa that is a loaded comment here on unloaded but there is a point I'd like to address before turning it over to any women who wish to have a say in this. I believe the way it was in the US became devalued in the 60s because of what happened in the 50s. Then you did have lots "housewives" that became clinically depressed and disenchanted with the notion of staying home to take care of the children. They wanted careers and a shot at things that men enjoyed in the workplace. Some found fulfillment, others were happy to retreat from the workplace and raise their families. I'd say it's a case by case thing really. Then let us not forget the single mothers who have the massive task of having to do BOTH with little choice in the matter. <BR/><BR/>As far as doing all of this for material gain, there are unfortunately many couples who do this. They see happiness in terms of property value and keeping up appearances. This is highly dysfunctional and not the way to go in my book.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-27151134554499212862008-02-15T10:17:00.000-05:002008-02-15T10:17:00.000-05:00.....if not, I'll settle for Olivia Newton-John's phone number.Clayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01735810775203566848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-77684947146006043812008-02-15T10:15:00.000-05:002008-02-15T10:15:00.000-05:00triply skrewed....i love your sense of humour...and deductive reasoning.<BR/><BR/>ricardo, there is a meta-mechanism at work here. the emergance of the "feminist" movement in the last century meeting the explosion of print media in the form of helen gurley-brown`s delightful blurbs and driven by the vitriol of betty fiedan et al.<BR/><BR/>we all understand the plight of repressed individuals in any situation and certainly "some" women have been unhappy in thier arrangements.<BR/><BR/>haven`t we all, at times.<BR/><BR/>but, to attack the very foundation of our society by convincing all women to forsake the values of thier birthright (fuck, i cringe to even type the words, as our society has devalued motherhood so far.)for a shot at the executive washroom key........<BR/><BR/>and i`ll ask the women`s honest opinion here and now, do you like raising children and working full time and trying to enjoy life and living up to the expectations of consumer culture, and wanting to be "treated like a woman...." too.<BR/><BR/>the meta-reality is that we`ve been convinced to give up the family values for two careers and bigger piles of bricks....<BR/><BR/>the question is, by who and why?<BR/><BR/>what was wrong with the way it was, and why did it change so radically in such a short period of time?dr.alistairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308832220555479141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-29438224112458538112008-02-15T09:54:00.000-05:002008-02-15T09:54:00.000-05:00nursemyra, I'll go a step further and just admit to you here and now that I've been a very naughty boy......and after visiting your lovely blog.....I'm certain that you need punish me with a spanking.

I was like, "Yep. I'm writing this guy back alright." <BR/><BR/>The only other guy I gave my phone number to was SELLING a working juke box. I was like, "I can't date a guy who would sell a working juke box and hang onto who knows what other kinds of junk!" Well, I mean technically I COULD date a guy who would sell a juke box, but not when there was a guy available to date who would (in all likelihood) KEEP a working juke box...Jill/Twipply Skwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-9135748057899355192008-02-14T23:37:00.000-05:002008-02-14T23:37:00.000-05:00Mr.Lady I aim to please, don't you know.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-44639423221926116282008-02-14T16:10:00.000-05:002008-02-14T16:10:00.000-05:00You play Fiddler on the Roof songs and I think you're talking right to me.<BR/><BR/>Way to push the right buttons. :)Mr Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09998773078408832376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-19224194701673190682008-02-14T14:37:00.000-05:002008-02-14T14:37:00.000-05:00Nurse Myra - The ball is in Clay's court now.

Just enough time to meet one guy (who responded to my request for a guy who enjoyed songs about chickens or whiskey).
