Well it seems like MLC H's solution to a problem is once again to buy something for the offended party.
H texted D13 and asked her what brand and color cell phone she wanted. She has her choice of the top two.
She asked him why he always wanted to buy her something when she was angry at him. He then called her and again gave her all the reasons why he couldn't see her on her b-day and preceded to tell her he was getting her the cell phone because she hadn't got much for her b-day. Huh? He'd just got done purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of clothes for her for her b-day.
So, it looks like D is getting a new and very expensive phone.
I did sit her down and talk about this with her. A very wise friend had already told me that D sees right through H and she was absolutely right. D told me she knew her Dad was doing this out of guilt.
H could have saved himself an awful lot of money by just apologizing to D and just making time to come and give her a hug, which is all she wanted in the first place. *Sigh*
