singlefather is back

[singlefather no more]

 
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
Here are some brief remarks in a point form basis.
 
I will post more later.
 
- Our marriage is going very well. There have been some ups and downs and some misunderstanding but that was to be expected. Roxi is a great wife and mother to our children. I am working hard to improve my Spanish.
 
- Our children and I are loving Chiclayo , Peru and the city is a great city to live in.

- I got very sick a couple of weeks ago and ended up in the clinic/ hospital for 3 days..
 
- I have to get health insurance soon as you have to pay on the spot for care. No Money - No health care.. My nightmare is my children or wife getting sick and not having the funds to pay. I am working my butt off so I won´t be in that position.
 
- We finally got our kids in school at the beginning of November. They are doing a great in school and love it. They don´t want to miss a day. We had tutors for them every day for math and spanish before they started school.
 
- My 10 yr old son and 13 year old daughter feel like rock stars at school and are the most popular students it seems.. There are about 1200 students in the school.
 
- My son has empathy for the Jonas brothers.  He would not wanted to be mobbed and hounded 24 hours a day. Seven hours a day at school is good for his and my daughter´s ego and self esteem. This is funny.. He has to go to the washroom a few times to hide from the girls... I feel very sorry for him , nottttttttttt. jjajajajajajjajajajajaja
 
- The school assigned 2 peruvian english teachers as advisors for my children to help them with any languange issues in class and any social or any other problem.
 
- I was very impressed how there school helped my children get used to the school and students. On the first day my son had some anxiety and was very nervous to go into some classes. His advisor gave him a hug and some kisses on the cheek and said don´t worry and took him for an icecream and 20 minutes later he was in class. He has not looked back since.
 
- As some of you might remeber my son last year could not leave the house for 3 months do to severe anxiety and is recovering from being kidnapped in canada.
 
- My son was sick on Monday and Tuesday and was away from school. He got a handmade get well card signed by over 150 students. wow.. That made him feel good.
 
- He has been invited to about 3 birthday partys a week and is quite a good dancer now my wife says. She takes him to all the birthday party´s.
 
- He loves the kisses on the cheek and the hugs he gets from all the girls.
 
- My daughter well she is 13 but is very tall and looks older. She is getting alot of attention from the girls and the boys. Her mother has had many talks with her about to watch out for peruvian boys and not to be swayed by romantic words and compliments.
 
- My daughter has attended a lot of birthday party´s also and has made many friends. She has a good friend who is a exchange student from Thailand. There is also a 16 year old boy from Ohio who has been going to school at the same school.
 
- I am working seven days a week teaching english trying to make ends meet. My first class starts at 7 am and I am at school by 6.30 am. I work from 7 am until 11 am. I get a break from 11 am until 4 pm since there are no english classes during that time. I then work from 4 pm until 8.30 pm. On Sat and Sundays I work 3-4 hours a day.
 
- I am looking for other opportunties to work from 11 am until 4 pm and maybe something else if I find it. It is not easy at times on our relationship and family life that I am working to 8.30 pm at night and getting home at 9 pm.
 
- Our children have soaked up spanish very fast. They pulled a trick on me one day and just spoke spanish with each other and their mother. Of course I did not understand a lot. My wife was laughing hard at this. She started crying from laughing so hard when my son responded to me saying " Please speak English " . He said to me in spanish. " No entiendo inglis " That was pretty funny I have to admit.
 
- My wife´s family have been a great support for us and treat our children like gold.
 
- When I was sick in the hospital with severe diarhea and vomiting. Roxi would not hardly leave my hospital room. She would not let the nurses clean me up when I had an accident or puked. She did it herself.
 
- Roxi has a great sense of humor and says she was practising for when I am 90 and she has to wipe my butt. hahahahahaha
 
- My wife got upset when I dropped off my dress shoes to get the heels fixed at the shoemaker and was not happy that I hand cleaned my own underwear the other day. She says this is her job to take care of me and do things for me.
 
- No matter how good your wife´s or novia´s english is you need to learn spanish because if they get upset there English goes out the window. I am taking steps to improve my spanish.
 
Take care and hello to everyone and I hope you are all doing well.
 
Anyone is welcome to visit us and we can put you up. The women here are great and beautiful. It does seem to be quite different then Colombia and is more conservative and but I can´t really compare since I have not been to Colombia.
 
- I know many women that would a great wife for a lucky man. Mywife´s sister would not take a dime from us when she watched our children from 7.30 am until 5 pm for 6 weeks. What a beautiful woman and a gem and a happy woman she is.
 
- One thing working at an english school is that I meet a lot of women that speak or are learning english.  I am impressed with them.
 
 
- I have to get a party orgainsed down here for all my fellow board members to come down and visit and meet some great women.

        Glad to hear you are doing better SFNM.I am looking forward to hearing more about Peru and your life there.IMO, your experience there will be a more accurate view of the real Peru since you are living there with your wife and children.There are alot of misconceptions about other countries because those that are doing the "reporting" are spending much of their time in brothels and hanging out with shady characters, but to each his own.

That makes me wish that I had gone to elementary school and high school in Peru! I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more. I can't think of a better "cure" for your kids' anxiety than that.

You guys have been through the wringer. I'm glad that things are finally going well with you all. That is great news!

yoyo buddy,

keep doing what you've been doing and don't let little things stress you out too much...you've pretty much got it all now so live it up while you're still young!

Fathertime!
