Dear John~You need to learn to communicate

Dear John,

No need to mince words here.  You SUCK at communicating.  I realize it’s probably because you never learned to communicate properly.  I know you at least went to Kindergarten so I really don’t see how you screwed learning communication up so badly.  Everyone knows you learn the most important things in Kindergarten.  I suggest you join Tesla’s class more often, not as a volunteer, but as a student.

Yesterday, Tesla was SO sick she couldn’t speak to me on the phone ALL day.  You refused to tell  me what her doctor said and what symptoms she was experiencing.  All you wanted to say was it was my fault she was sick even though I haven’t had Tesla in two weeks.

Today I had to call her SCHOOL to see if she was there.  What the hell is your problem with Tesla talking to me?  You couldn’t let her call this morning so I could hear her voice and find out how she is.  If she went back to school today, I promise she wasn’t sick with what I had.  Especially since I think mine was food poisoning.  (That’s not contagious)

Thank God I get Tesla back today.  She needs a break from her whiny father.

Dear John~ Thanks

Dear John,

Just a quick note for you today.  I know you will get it as Heather is right on top of my writing.

Thank you for calling this morning and letting me know in a reasonable amount of time that you would not be taking Tesla to gymnastics.  I don’t blame the kids for wanting to play in the snow over going to the gym.  I guess my only concern would be, “if they are all sick, why play outside in the cold?”

So the girls are all going to gymnastics on Monday and Wednesday.  I’ve already asked if I can spend some time with Tesla on at least one of those days.  I realize it’s not part of her schedule, put it should be.

Also I have the Valentine’s Day cards her and I made for her class.  I’ll send them with Tesla on Monday, for school on Tuesday.

Please, let’s really focus on what’s best for Tesla.  She needs to regularly see me and her blood-related family that will never change over her life.  I will treat you with respect if you can do the same for me.  That includes keeping your girlfriend on a short leash.  I appreciate what she does do for Tesla, but I don’t appreciate her desire to tell me what I can and can’t do.

Thank you,

~P.
