i hear ya, zero. just last nite, i reminded cole & cory (now 6) that i had parent/teacher conferences on wed. nite.
cole said: why can't dan (fiance) go?
me: cause dan's staying home with you guys.
cole: but don't dads get to go to those things?
me: well yes but somebody has to stay home with you, right?
cole: but why don't dads go?
LOL. it's like talking in circles most of the time. but i was totally shocked that he called dan - "dad"!! it was a really cool moment for me. :)

4PG, your problem is solved. My wife said, "We always went together." (Not really she went to these more often than I did.) Get someone to watch the kids for an hour and the Dad Dan won't miss out on all the fun.

I'll go... teachers LOVE me at these conferences.
Liberal Wacked-out teacher: Well, your son does seem to have some developmental issues, possibly A.D.D., possibly at that growing stage where priorities are misplaced, we here at the school feel...yada, yada, yada........
Even More Liberal and pandering to her baby boy wife: Well, if you people paid a little more attention to my son's unique characteristics and allowed him to flourish.... yada, yada, yada...........
Hard-core asshole father (Me): You can beat him if you want. Hell, I'll beat him for you... where is that lazy little shit, anyway... he needs a nice-swift kick in the ass, RFN....
I didn't get to go to many of the parent-teacher conferences....
:icon_smile:
EDIT- I never ACTUALLY beat my kids, but all of them SWEAR to this day that I did. All five of them got a really good smack on the butt for some indiscretion pre-kindergarten, coupled with good voice, volume and enthusiasm in the send a cold-rush of shit straight to the heart of the offender department. Mom milked that whack for entire child-hoods... "Just wait until your father gets home." was standard fare in my household. :icon_smile:
