Mommy Can I

Every year, Husband’s ex usually sends us report cards so that he can see how they are progressing in school. We don’t get many more volunteered information about the kids, but it’s nice to see that they are excelling in school.

Son #1 is getting straight A’s finally. He had a bit of a struggle earlier in his education, but seems to be doing fine now. Daughter #1 has started high school and has realized that she MUST study. These are her words, not ours. She did manage to get A’s and B’s, but she got her first ever C’s during the school year.

I don’t post much about the kids from Husband’s first marriage, because frankly, I don’t know much about them. I have met them, when they were 5 and 6, talked to them a few times, but that’s about it. They don’t call and when Husband does call they usually aren’t home or don’t call back. This was the first year that Husband DID NOT get a Father’s Day card. I didn’t bring it up, but I know he had to be thinking of that.

Ex seems to use the report cards as a way to flaunt that they are in private schools. It’s kind of her way of “see, I told you they would do better in private schools” type of dig at Husband. He has always believed that the kids didn’t NEED private schools, but in CA ex says that it’s necessary because the schools aren’t good. She chose to move there, so it’s really her own personal choice. We cannot afford to send Scoober to private schools, we just compensate for anything he may be lacking at home.

That’s enough about that. This will turn into more of a rant than showing that we are proud of the kids and that they are excelling in school.
