I have noticed that SD11 gets really clingy when she stays home more. When she goes to school a whole week, it does not seem as bad. I mean, what do you do when your BF won't spend time with both of his kids? It is not even me really. His son tells me he wants to spend more time with his dad but that he feels like a third wheel when he is with his Dad and his sister. BF says that he does not connect with his son, that his daughter is more like him. Ya know, it breaks my heart to see this keep happening. SD11 had her birthday in April. We had a big party for her on the weekend after. I put together the one for on her birthday. Cake, dinner, candles, ice cream, friends... the whole 9 yards. The same thing I would do for my kids. No thank you, no refund from her Dad either.

Then we had her big birthday on Saturday... all the same things.... again.... Uh, why?

So for the next 2 weeks after, it was like it was still her birthday every day. She was greedy, showing off her presents to my daughters, just being generally annoying.

Please understand, I blame her father, not her.

I really get angry every time that BF is with her and SS13 is no where in site.

ON a separate note, sure enough, BM quit her program and lost all contact with her kids. BF was so upset that he trusted her again (drugs). She ended up with 7 days of jail time and then CPS just released the case. Poof, like that, she can have her kids back. Now, CPS told BF it would be in HIS best interest not to let BM have unsupervised visits until she proved her self trustworthy. Well, give it a year of her pulling the wool over his eyes and she might get custody back.

He said while delivering Easter baskets, "It is so hard being a single parent! All the work!" PFT!!! He has had me the WHOLE time he has had custody. I would LOVE to see him really ALONE with his kids. I think reality would hit him square in the face.
