I don't talk about my rlp much (outside of the dog issue) but I just have to acknowledge that I really do have a good good black man on my team and I feel so tremendously blessed. The Charlotte area has gotten pretty much heavy bordering on torrential rains for the past 24hrs. My county got about 4inches over nite alone. I usually have my son to school by 615, at 6am I get that automated msg saying there would be a delayed opening. My job has a pretty strict attendance policy so me being late would be considered half a strike against me. I was so nervous this morning, damn near in tears - my SO said he'd call in late to work so he could take Jay to school.
So he takes Jay to school and he's greeted at the door with the notice that they just decided to cancel it all together! Now me leaving work to stay home w/him would be considered a FULL strike (3 strikes in 6 months and you're giving a final written notice). So he calls me to tell me that he's taking Jay to work with him. His job is more family friendly and they're ok with it. But I'm still paranoid about it all. I've called him 4 times already telling him I'll come pick up Jay and just take the strike. He hung up on me the last time and told me to quit bothering him
I've never had problems dating as a single mom, but it's not every day that you meet a man who truly loves, takes care of, and makes sacrifices for your child(ren) as if they were his own. If you are fortunate enough to have that in your life - please cherish it!
