Journaling,

Why does X feel the need to BUY our kids love??

What make people do these things?

One time I did ask him if he was buying their love & @ first he didnt admit it but then he laughing did admit.

I emailed him we needed to switch schedules by the first weekend of January so that he doesnt get them again for the big holidays.
He didnt want to change until the summer saying he will not be in town the first in January.

Mind you last year when he lied to me about having to change the schedule b/c his buisiness trips ( really went on several honeymoons w/ OW to the islands), I changed it.

I emailed him that I want to take the girls to the circus & his response is- its good yr trying to me a mom and take them places. UGH!

I explained to him what a mom reallly is:

She stays up all nite making sure her sick child fever doesnt spike up.
She cancels her plans when she has a sick child (unlike him doesnt gets in the wy of his fun, fun fun.)
She tries to the best role model and instill good morals and be thier rock.
She tries to keep a stability in thier lives. Be there when they need to talk.
A good parent puts the kids needs first.

Is it b/c he knows no other way to parent?

I told him unlike other moms, I never had the money means to take them everywhere, but I dont need to do that to show them my love.
