1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, This is from Jay on Steve Harvey FM.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Jay says, a couple of months ago, I bought tickets

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: for my girlfriend and me to a concert that is

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: happening next year. A concert that's happening next year. The

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: show is several months away. But yesterday my now ex

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: girlfriend told me she'd been seeing someone else and broke

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: things off with me. At the end of the breakup conversation,

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: she asked when I would be able to forward her

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: the tickets.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Since they were.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: For us, I see no reason that they should now

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: be hers. Is there any reason at all that I

13
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: should feel obligated to pass them along to her so

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: she can go with this other dude or even sell

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: them herself. My friends say, let her have them and

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: be through with her. By the way, the concert is

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Tony Braxton, Ooh new Edition and Boys to Men.

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: Wow.

Speaker 3: and my girl. We break up. She asked for the tickets,

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: and tell you she sees somebody else. Well, see somebody else.

22

Speaker 1: kids in three different schools, and their combined extracurricular schedules

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: are so chaotic that I'm constantly racing from one place

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: to another, always feeling like I'm letting someone down. Between

46

Speaker 1: band concerts, football practices, science club meetings, after school tutoring,

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,120

Speaker 2: Schedule.

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: There's no way to physically be at everything, but every

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: mised event makes me feel like I'm failing as a parent.

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: I've tried color coding calendars and coordinating carpools, but there's

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: still aren't enough hours in a day to the kind

Speaker 1: been lying in bed wondering if my kids will look

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: back and remember me as the mom who wasn't there

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: even though I'm doing everything I can. How do parents

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,840

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: like an auntie group and we represent for that. But
