My kids have a Disney dad too. He was the worst about it when he was totally fogged out with the A, not spending much time with them, and really unreliable. I think the worse they feel and the more guilt about their poor parenting, the more they spend $$$. When he was almost never there about a year ago, he would buy them stuff literally every time he saw them. My D9 would come home with literally several gifts and stuffed animals after a day with him. He's been spending more time with them recently and the gifts have dramatically lowered. Karen
