So,this is H's weekend with the kids. I heard nothing from him today until almost 5. He sent an e-mail asking if it would be ok if he picked them up at 6----or earlier if it would be better. I said 6 was fine, but if he wanted to pick up D15 from sb practice at 5:45 before he came out that would be good. He called and said he had some "e-mail to get out" (???) and couldn't pick D up. I said, fine, no problem.
I picked up D and H showed at the house around 6:25. D11 wanted to go to the "back to school" dance. I told her she needed to talk to dad. Before he left he asked if I was going anywhere---and if not could I take D to and from the dance. I wish I would have at least made up plans for the night..............he said he wanted to take the other two to the car races and wouldn't be back in time to pick up D from dance. I agreed to pick her up, but asked that he take her and make sure that she wanted to stay after she got there. I told him I had a seminar to go to in the morning and had to leave by 9----he said, fine you can drop her off on your way. I said, but I would have to wake her up............he said he would come out here............
It makes me angry. I thought I was doing well, and then he can turn things around so quickly. It makes me mad that he can do what he wants-----and I agree to do what ever makes that happen. I want the kids to do what they want to do, but I also want H to see that he has to handle it all----and not what he wants to do. Oh well, in two weeks I will have plans.............
And, he just called to make sure I knew that D stayed at the dance..........I confirmed that he would not be picking her up tonight..............da** it makes me mad.
