Poor Planning On Your Part....

Does NOT Make it an emergency on mine.

My daughter's dad has always been entitled to every other weekend but half the time never takes it. Well now that the kids are back, I can see that somethings really never do change.

After talking to my mother yesterday, indicating that he wasn't going to take our daughter this weekend, he calls at 1:30pm asking for her for tonight.

It angers me that he doesn't call sooner and I know if I said "we have plans" it would go against me as before he tried to blame me that she was "always busy." Fact was that I never knew if he was coming or not and I'll be damned if I'm going to have her bags packed and her waiting for someone that isn't going to show up.

If I was the "non-custodial" parent, I'd be in CONSTANT contact and that's another problem, he never calls to just "talk" to her or to make any kind of arrangements.

So I'll have a conversation that says that I'd appreciate a confirmation of his plans for his weekends by Wednesday otherwise we will assume he's not getting her and do our own thing.


And as I was typing this, my mother called to say he wasn't sure if he was going to come get her! OKAY!!!!!!!!! Whatever the heck that means!!!!
