So H let the kids down again! I'm starting to wonder if there is more to all this than meets the eye. Every weekend that he has had off since he left he has done this. Said he'll be round at tea time even though he's not at work at all, then cancel when it's almost time to come round.
Yet again he has said he can't come round because his Dad is upset (his Mum died in February). Was very tempted to reply "So are your kids." but I resisted. I did, however, ask if he was still coming round. His reply was "Waiting to see." So as I was out with my Mum and D at the time anyway we decided to have tea at my parents house. I am not waiting in for H anymore just for him to let us all down and then sit in the house all alone. I text him to ask him to let me know if he was going to come. I heard absolutely nothing back for 3 hours, then at 9pm he texts back that he is just trying to get his Dad to eat something. Meanwhile, back in the real world I'm consuling S who was distraught and angry that yet again Dad didn't show.
