So whenever I face a writer’s block, I call in little red to help come up with a topic and discussion. The topic she has chosen she have given the title, “Men and women who gets the kids overnight.” Let’s get into that other worldly brain and see what it has to say.
Tracy – So Paris how do you feel about spending the night at seperate houses?
Paris – Well sometimes it makes me feel a little sad. And sometimes a little happy and sometimes a little mad.
Tracy – Why?
Paris – Because I really want to be with both parents.
Tracy – How does it make you happy
Paris – It makes me feel happy because I get to spend a little bit of time with one parent and a little bit of time with the other parent
Tracy – And why does it make you feel mad sometimes
Paris – Makes me feel mad because one parent makes me frustrated and the other one makes me feel frustrated in one day and that’s a lot for a kid.
Paris – Ok, that’s the last question
Tracy – Wait, I have five more questions
Paris – Sighs
Tracy – So how do I frustrate you.
Paris – Because sometimes you forget stuff that was really important to me or you throw away stuff without my permission (let the record show I seldomly do this for fear of creating a future clutterer but I did get caught today throwing away a old lunch bag and no I’m not being a nazi organizer with my kid).
Tracy – How does your daddy frustrate you?
Paris – Sometimes he raises his voice at me because he loses his game and he could start all over again and he still has the same points.
Tracy – So when that happens do you still want to stay with that parent or do you want to go to the other parent
Paris – I’ll still stay because I’ll be over it in 10 minutes and I’ll be ok.
Tracy – So how do you suggest parents work it out to have the kids stay with both of them.
Paris – If you’re married that’s pretty easy. But if you are not married, like at 5:00 the one parent could trade you off to the other parent and if you go to bed at 10:00 then they can drop you off around 9:30 so you can take a shower and all that.
Tracy – So do you think it’s better if the parents split the time with the kid on a daily basis or
Paris- What’s a daily basis
Paris – Ask me if it’s better if the parents be married or not married
Tracy – Ok, is it better if the parents are married or not married
Paris – It’s better if they are married because they have the same house and they can see the kid whenever they want so they don’t have to live in seperate places.
Tracy – Well since me and your daddy don’t live in the same place, do you prefer to split your time with me and daddy every day or would you prefer to say spend a few days at a time with me and then a few days at a time with your dad.
Paris – I would like to spend hours not days because that would make my dad feel sad that he would not get to see me for a couple of days.
Tracy – So the way your daddy and I do the schedule where we switch off our time with you every day works for you?
Paris – Yes it does because it won’t make either of you guys sad that you guys won’t get to see me.
Paris – And if you’ll excuse me it’s nap time
Tracy – Um really you’re actually going to take a nap
Paris – No
Well there you go. Now we know. Continue reading »
