You are welcome!
You are welcome for taking care of your sick kid while you were at home passed out, unable to answer your phone. You are welcome for taking his temperature, giving him pain medicine, feeding him breakfast, calling him off from school, arranging for his brother to bring his homework home for him, and making him a doctor's appointment. It wasn't a big thing. I didn't have anything else planned for the day. I'd do the same for my own kid, and I have. I'll be happy to do it again and again, whenever I'm needed. Anytime, really. No charge. I'll do it just out of the goodness of my heart. The best part is knowing just how much I'm appreciated.

Letter to the ex:
Should I send it?
*************************************************
What the heck? Why are you upset? Sam had an ear ache last night. Nothing big, but I checked it out and his ear looked a little red around the outside edge of the eardrum. I gave him some medicine and a warm moist rag to put on his ear, I checked his temperature (normal) and sent him to bed. I considered calling you but you had said that you were going to go to bed early. I knew that by the time Sam got up in the morning that I would already be at work, so I told Pam that if he woke up with an ear ache that she should keep him home from school and call you. Guess what she did? When he woke up and complained about his ear hurting, she did exactly what I asked her to do. She kept him home and called you. She called you at a reasonable time that you would normally have been up getting ready for work and you did not answer. She then called me and I told her to give him some more medicine and a warn moist rag for his ear and call the doctor.
So lets recap this…..
1) Our son was in pain and apparently sick.
2) Pam kept a sick, in pain, child home from school.
3) Pam called you, and left you a message because you did not answer the phone.
4) Due to her concern for Sam and the pain he was in, she called me to fill me in on the situation.
5) I, not being able to leave work for anything less than an emergency, or you and I both don’t get paid, asked her to call the doctor and get him in if possible because I didn’t want our son setting there in pain any more than he needed to.
So I ask you, what did we do wrong? Should we have set there and let Sam suffer until you finally woke up and maybe not be able to get him to the doctor today? I understand that you are sick, that happens, but does that mean that our son has to set there in pain just so you don’t feel that your position as their mother is threatened? Pam was just doing what I asked her to do. I was just doing what was best for our son. What is your excuse?
You told Pam that you were livid, you want to talk about livid, you don’t know the meaning of the word! I cannot believe that you would put your ego ahead of the welfare of our child! How dare you! It was bad enough that you wouldn’t allow Pam in the room during parent teacher conferences but now you won’t even let her take our children to the doctor when they are sick and you won’t respond and I have to be at work? At what point is our children’s welfare more important than your ego. I have ALWAYS stood up for you and defended you when anyone questioned your ability as a mother, now I am starting to wonder if that was a mistake. You should be ashamed of yourself!
It time to grow up!
YOWZA!!!! I say send it!! lol. More power to you, Pam. You, my friend, are an AWESOME woman! You are a phenomenal mother & a very, very special someone to another very, very special someone! You two are my idols. :O) Love you both!!
