I am a bit frustrated today.

I get home from work last night and DH is on the phone with his kid (D16). I left him to it, put my stuff down and waited for him to finish his conversation. From my end of things, he sounded ticked off.

Turns out, his kid has "plans" this weekend and wanted to stay in Uberskank town instead of doing her regular visit. Which, as we all know, corresponds with Father's Day weekend. A fact he pointed out to her, to which she responded "but I'd rather stay at home."

Little rotten f**king kid. I keep telling myself, only two more years of this. Two more years.

He's ranting and raving and I ask a simple question "Why didn't you just tell her no? That she hasn't been around in over a month and you'd like to spend this weekend with her?"

Then I got bitch at for half an hour.

DH is reaping what he sowed for the last year. I won't hold you to the visitation schedule, I know your social life in HS is important, blah, blah, blah. All this is fine but he goes over-board and lets her get away with everything.

Instead of pointing out the obvious to him, I pointed out the only visits she kept were the ones where she asked him for money or to take her shopping. Why is he putting up with this?? I suggested that he have a little sit down with his kid and explain when he told her that he wanted her to maintain her social life, it wasn't supposed to be at the expense of their father/daughter relationship. That she is treating him like an ATM and he's starting to resent her.

He said he didn't think he could tell her that.

I said "Then don't bitch to me or at me when she pisses you off. If you're not going to do anything about it, then you have nothing to gripe about."

He stomped off.

Not my shining hour as a wife but I am sick of this s**t with the two of them. He can't stand Uberskank, but he's setting his kid up to be just like her!

Rant over.
