I often talk about how important it is to maintain a friendly rapport with your ex when you have a child together, but today I am going to give another reason to preserve that relationship.
Last night, I went out for a friend’s birthday. I planned to spend the night at another friend’s house so that I could drink without worrying about how I would get home.
I still ended up worrying about how I would get home... but for different reasons; I lost my car keys.
So, this morning I had to phone my husband and tell him I was stranded. Unfortunately, today was full of lacrosse clinics and rep tryouts. Tom wasn’t available to come and rescue me.
I was going to be stuck in Toronto until dinner time, then I remembered that Rebecca’s dad would be driving her from his house (in Toronto) to gymnastics right near my house.
I sent him a text and explained my situation asking if he would come and pick me up. He said yes without any hesitation.
An hour later, I was on my way home playing the alphabet game with my daughter and her dad.
It’s good to have great friends.
*Tom and I returned to get the car when he got home and found the keys in the glove box.
