I have been off and on sad all day and when H texts me at the exact time he is supposed to be there (so I can go to work), it hit the roof. I called him, said I didn't have time to text back and forth, what does he want. I went off on him about being reliable and hung up on him.
Ok a little story for ya...
My First W left one day ... Just took off... I was left with a 3 mo and 3 yr old girls. About a week later I found her. We talked and I found out that she was addicted to Cocaine. (I felt so stupid I had no Idea).
Anyway we agreed that she would see/have the girls on weekends. Well the first few weeks I would drop the girls off at her house with some money for food and diapers. Then the next few weeks I started dropping them off with food and diapers and no money... That lasted about 2 weeks then when I had the car packed with the girls stuff I would get a call that W was sick and could not see girls... The 3 yo was really disappointed. Then the next time she was having problems and would not be able to see the girls and again the 3 yo would be sad and ask why. I just told her mommy was not feeling well. SOOOOO I stopped letting the girls know they were going to see their mom until the last minute when I knew for sure she was going to take them. Her "visits" slowly faded until she stopped calling to see them. It seams because I stopped sending money for food and diapers. (Which she most likely did not use for food and diapers) her interest faded.
My point is that if there is a way... Maybe you should just not count on your husband. Just plan on getting a sitter. We need to realize that we can not make our spouses do ANYTHING. Even take their parent hood responsibilities. It’s their loss. My first wife has not seen my two daughters in over 20 years. Drugs to strange things to people. If you can and do arrange a sitter and IF you Husband does come through then the surprise to your D will be good. It will make her time with her Daddy special. (Man I have to go to the sitter today, what??? I get to go to daddies instead? Oh Boy)

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
