Ok Ok, it finally has hit us. All the wisdom you OW have been trying to give us has finally sunk in. So here's what we are going to do.<p>First. Immediately we will kick our no good husbands out of the house since he doesn't want to be a "daddy" to the OC. Since he doesn't want to take responsibility for his child we are gonna darn well make sure it's impossible to continue taking responsibility for the children he had in our marriage. Since he doesn't want to be with OC why should he have the priveledge of being with our children from our marriage?<p>Second. We've all decided that 17-19% of our husband's income is far too little for OC to grow up on. So we are going to pay you an additional 5-10% out of our own pockets. That way our children will do without even more so that we can pay our ammends to OC and their mother for the sins of the bio-dad.<p>Third. Since H will be put out of the house and will now have to pay child support to the kids of marriage and the OC, he will be homeless. We will personally urge him to go live with you (OW) so that he may be there day and night to comfort you and OC. We will be at home struggling without him, because you have told us this is the right thing to do.<p>Last. Now that he's living with you, we wouldn't dream of him coming to visit our kids without you present. Because we don't want you to feel threatened by our previous relationship. We want to make sure you are 100% comfortable and being present will ensure your peace of mind. <p>I hope this is good enough and everything you wanted. <p>Now... are you happy...will you leave?

Zebra,
You twisted sister that is being much to greedy how could you. For somebody that got bent over for 5 min deserves much more then that. The wife should move out sign the deed over to the ow help move the ow in, throw a house warming party
Of course the oc was already born and there was never a baby shower we need to do that also.Invite all the family make sure ow feels right at home in her new house.
We should probly give her our car to it would be no problem to hitch hike.

Stacia_Lee ,
Counseling oh how could I have forgotten that. It must be the nasty mean selfish person I am.
Lets give them our computers so they have easy access to this site. Funds for marriage builders counseling if the need ever arises that there ever be any trouble in there relationship with our h they can make sure they have the skills to deal with it.
Oh I feel so selfish for forgetting about that.
oh this is to fun!

i just kinda chuckled when i read this cause we tried some of these things!! <p>ow had nothing but she did have oc. so... we bought ow a car. we bought ow a cell phone and service for one year. we put ow into an apt. we offered and tried to buy her a house. not a nice one, we can't afford squat, but would have made it work somehow. we gave ow baby stuff and money. we are stupid. i went so far as to give ow my husband. yes, he moved in with her for short period with my consent trying to get her to put his name on birth certificate. that's how we got baby #2. we are definitely stupid. <p>ow had it all. then saw that h only wanted bc signed and asked him to divorce me. that was it. he said no, you are right, i am only here because i want paternity, i am trying to do the right thing for child, but i want my wife. gig was up. he came back home. ow had no reason to stay. when ow decided to leave state, we paid for moving truck. we also gave her calling card, gas money and a bit extra once she got there. she slyly wanted my h to drive her; i put my foot down on that. no way. we helped her pack, and waved as she drove away. after her arrival, she would not return calls, disconnected number and then moved. we contacted dhs. she denies oc are husband's and tells dhs that he is crazy lunatic that is stalking her. h says no i am trying to do right thing, oh and did you notice that oc have my last name, not hers and not her husband's? we are in court, trying for custody, after her big flip flop from nice to nasty. and still no way to contact. hmmm...that could be a good thing...<p>anyway, i just laughed and thought i'd share. i needed it badly too cause things are stressful around the homefront. getting better though, i'm still trying to talk kids, kids, kids. and last night i told him that i would be the best mother i could be. he thought i was agreeing to have a baby. and i said well, maybe but i meant to the two that you already have. h hugged me and ooohed and ahhhhed for awhile. that was nice. i want to be who he needs so he doesn't go elsewhere. i am trying.

Were 90% of other women cut from the same mold? Is there a book they study from? Well, whatever book it is, it is obviously not higher than the sixth grade reading level. Otherwise, they wouldnt qualify for the ow club! <p>As my h would say, always excluding himself, of course... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] Stupid people shouldnt breed.

Ohmigod! That is SUCH a good idea, Zebrababy! I'm totally going to support the "Building a Happy Home for the OC" cause. The child OW and my H created in their true-soulmate, once-in-a lifetime, misunderstood star-crossed love should far take precidence over our dull,obilgation laden,guilt bound assembly line produced babies. <p>Reciprocity is in order, as we know the OW were totally supporting our kids too...during the affair, during all unilateral decision making, and even now, as we pay vast, ill-afforded sums. Because they did their part influencing the atmospheres of our homes, thereby making our children's lives sooo happy, we should lay down life and limb to ensure the happiness of their sweet cherubs. I'ts only right. <p>**************************************************
So I propose we each make an oath to OW: I ______________, will kick my S.O.B. husband into the cold, cold, winter, for having the unspeakable audacity to abandon you, my gentle soul-sister (For aren't we all a part of the loyal sisterhood of women?)in your time of need.

I will never utter a word to him again, appear in his foul presence, nor think about our long, mostly happy lives together. <p>I will change my name, the kid's name, the cat's name. His wicked name will be stricken from the record. <p>I will throw my wedding ring, photos, and all other treasured momentos of our happy lives together into a firey pit. <p>The remnants of my family will move to an obscure hilltop that has no telephone/internet service, nor mail service, nor roads. H will never see our children, thereby freeing him to see OC. <p>Before I do any of this, I will tie explosives to the television set on Superbowl Sunday, and threaten to detonate unless he bonds with your love child. If he refuses and thereby forces my hand, I won't stop at the T.V. I will destroy an object precious to him, every day, until he sees reason, and installs himself in your child's life.<p>I know you would do the same for my child. As you've already proven. <p>Signed: _____________________

OOOOOOOOOOO i'm soooooooo glad everyone took this a step further. <p>I was chuckling when I thought it. Laughing out loud when I wrote it.<p>And now you all have me splitting a gut.<p>Everyone was quite clever. Cheers.<p>I espcially like the oath from polly aka: G&P. This takes the cake and says it all:<p> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>I know you would do the same for my child. As you've already proven. <p>Signed: _____________________
<hr></blockquote><p>great job ya'll, anyone got anymore?<p>Z.
