If you want to laugh...

[Phoenix~Mama]

Because it makes me chuckle... but the excuses they come up with to cancel any visitation.

Today STBX told me he can't take DD overnight tomorrow because he needs to catch up on cleaning because he is so far behind and he is the only one there now and it's so hard keeping up on everything by himself.

*giggles*

Note, he is still having his oldest DD overnight tomorrow, he is only canceling on our DD together... which leaves an unpleasant tast in my mouth.

He cancelled taking DD camping with him and DSD last weekend too after he had asked to take her (it was only one night at his Dad's trailer where we used to go)... because he couldn't handle taking both girls together by himself to the campground.


The weird thing is... I'm torn on how I feel about this. As I said, in part it makes me laugh... and how he is digging his own hole as I document everytime he cancels plans with DD.

On the other hand... I fear for when my DD is older and notices her Dad canceling time with her all the time... especially if he keeps up with only cancelling time with her and keeping it with her sister... and how that is going to make her feel.

I stopped telling my dd that her dad would come because he would say he would then make lame excuses for not coming. He had a cold for months at a time before he stopped even calling. I think the excuses are funny, but it makes me angry that he thinks so little of our wonderful little girl. My dd is seven and hasn't gone through a stage of really caring about this though. She is loved and has many people who spend a lot of time with her. This is also our normal and I have never said anything bad about or him and I think that makes a big difference.

A few of dd's dad's best... I can't see dd because...

- I have a runny nose

- I have a tingle in my back

- I've had to work on my feet for two days in a row, and my body is achy

Oy vey!

And luckily your DD will have her sibling. If your SBTX doesn't fully appreciate having all his kids in his life, it's his loss.
