    Can't his OWN parents help!?!? I dunno, just saying. He can always get public (or private) daycare. Wife had to do that for a small minute when Jamie (daughter) was 4 and Franklin (son) was maybe 6 months. She had a mgmt job offer at Bob Evans, and we sure could use the money...I was fine either way.. I just turn and burn the miles, always.
    Anyway, on the "off time" from my family helping with the kids (like the super early 5am opens she had to do) or on odd days of my Ma's dr's appointments, and such...the kids were fine. Trust me. They are 13 and almost 17 now, no worse for wear.
    Girl, if this is your dream, and you really want it, it's up to YOU to make it happen. I had the blessings and assistance of my wife. Had I not, tbh, probably would have had to go this route anyway, withOUT her blessings. Glad it didn't come to that, by all means.
    Listen to the song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers... I'm not gonna post it bcz some of the lyrics could be taken wrong, but.... listen to "Give it Away..." with lyrics, of course.
    It's more about life (than sex) to me~! ;)
    Hope all goes well; please read up on those 2 (actually 3) ladies I've told you about; another one, Kori, just got her OWN truck about a month ago, via Prime. They pay rather well to start.
     
    SMW78 Thanks this.

    I joined there before. That's where I've been going to look at the training companies provide. And I know what BM(not what most would think it stands for, haha) stands for lol...she's not around, no contact whatsoever.

    That is so awesome! Glad you were able to follow your dream with love and support!
    I'm pretty sure he'd be just fine but he wants to go the route of making me feel guilty I guess, idk.....

    I LOVE that song actually but now I'll give it a listen on a new light :D

    Thanks for your help and advice. I appreciate it bunches. And I did read about Patricia some. I'll be logging back on and reading up some more!!

    :) :)

    Glad YOU knew.. i saw that on TV with the wife, and got a lesson. Wondered why ANYONE would tag someone in their contacts as..... well that. Yeah.. nevermind, hehehehe!! One day you'll get it, and laugh when you don't, like me!
    I asked the wife what an RGN was and she really thought it was short for REGEN. She thinks SHE knows it all in trucking, but doesn't yet, either.

    Read some of Sue and Rainy and even Chickie's stuff.... the wife does. Women CAN and DO succeed~!

    He's gotta learn, especially if he's the right man for you... GUILT FREE is the way to BE. That's a big nonexist in our whole family...even when the son broke the window out of the van we are trying to sell, with a football, over the holiday weekend.
    Where does it get HIM (or anyone?) shaming and blaming and guilting?!? We all try to feel like the 100% we are, around here.
    You've got a lot of support here; I just keep "vampire" hours. Always wishing you the best, girl.

    ps: Look at Patricia R's f/b.. wife did. I dont' have one (thank goodness, lol~!)

    Who are you planning on trying to sign on with? I know your part of the world, and there isn't a whole lot down that way.

    Just want you to know, I shared your diary with my wife.. and she told me to have you listen to Matchbox 20 ... Unwell. I listened to it first, and it seems okay, lol. Just don't listen to If You're Gone . . . she says.!
    She's a good woman, and knows her music. Best wishes to you, ladygirl. Always.
     
    SMW78 Thanks this.
