I always knew my dad was a serial cheater & thats why my parents divorced. This past weekend while going thru old boxes at my grandmas, we found letters home from when he was in the services, before they got married. He admitting in more than one letter to making "mistakes" he called it with other women.
I wanna ask my mom why she still married him but I'm not sure how to bring it up.
ETA: They were married for 19 years & have been divorced over 30 years now (since I was 4)
Because she loved him, because she thought he would change when he got home and was with her. It depends on your relationship with her, but I'd probably just leave it.
My mom spilled a bunch of shit to me once I was in college (my parents were married 20 years, divorced when I was 4). They separated because of cheating and alcohol. It took her that long in their relationship to get the confidence that she could make it on her own. She'd always been told that she wouldn't be able to, but she finally had enough and figured failing couldn't be worse that being treated like nothing.
I feel like this would totally be my moms answer, almost exactly. I probably won't ever bring it up to her, let sleeping dogs lie. This was the early 60s, the world was a different place for a small town Southern gal
After watching the episode of Friends where they try to list all the US states in 6 minutes,DH challenged me to a little competition this week. My FFFC is I only got 35. DH got 47. In my defense, we are Canadian.
I learned a song in elementary school. I can name them in under 30 seconds.
You mean the one where we all sang it together all over the US? They rolled the TV carts in so we could watch everyone else singing the songs.

Pretty sure you did better than most American adults could.

I don't think I could name all the Canadian provinces and territories.
Oh, are we supposed to have learned about Canada in school? I must have missed that day in school.
Seriously? I grew up in the US and we had an entire year of Canadian history and geography.
We had no Canadian lessons in school. My AP history teacher made us draw Europe and all the countries free hand for a test, but nothing about our neighbors up north.
We have a core of Canadians on my BMB. I would have to say that I've learned most of my Canadian knowledge from them and the ladies who post on Parenting.
I'm proud to say TD/PB has made me a smarter person and my time spent posting on here is valuable.

I moved from Canada to the US in JH, and I had to emergency-learn all the states for a quiz. So no, they didn't teach us much about the U.S. at least in middle school! @hilarityensued
I wish I was cool enough to pull off the biker jacket type things I see everywhere. But, alas, I am not. I will always be a Jackie. Pass the twinsets please.
I had a dream that TI was my boyfriend. It was serious, I had a key to his place and everything. He treated me like a queen. Then MH accidentally woke me up moving around the room and I was pissed. It was an excellent dream.
