Phone call with H

Me: Dont forget about football game on saturday.
H: I know I may not be able to stay whole game.
Me: We need to drive separate cars, and why not?
H: need to get ready for work, get something to eat,,,,
Me: Come dressed for work and bring something to eat or eat at game.

Anyway,,,he starts in about how he will do what he can to be there and I told him he will only be able to make a couple of games and need to stay the whole time at those, and that I'm not sure why he can not try to adjust his work scheudle to make more of the games.

He tells me that his dad came to NONE of his games and his mom only came when he was in 12th. I was like our son is not you he wants and needs his parents at his games..this is what he has always known. Reminded me that not all of the boys have dads in there lives and so they will not have a dad at the games.

H then tells me how he has no time for himself and that he also would like to take some time off to go visit his family in his home town. (not sure what this had to do with this conversation about sons games)

So I told him, do what is best for him, he has the schedule of the games and that I would not mention it again to him.

I plan to post the schedule on the fridge so I can back out of this...

I can handle him ignoring me and not spending time with me, but H told me over and over and over again that he was staying for our son, that he needed to be here for our son...

SO I would think attending these games would be important!!!

OK I got mad for a second, said what I wanted to say,,and now I will move on from this...

H is a good dad, I know this in my heart. And for the most part 99% of the time he is right there...so why is this upsetting me so much?
