Halloween and Phone calls

kayjoy21's picture

So as you all know yesterday was Halloween, my DH asked BM to send pics of the kids dressed up. We got them today and SD9 dressed as a witch (which is against what my DH likes and SD knows) any way back to the story and SD6 dressed as I have not idea the dress was way to big and her hair was in a ponytail on the top of her head with curls. The pic we got the 9 yr old has makeup on and has a look on her face that she is hot stuff! Which mad DH not so happy she's 9 she doesn't need to have make up like that on she looked like she was 20!

Then we notice she has gained more weight in the picture since she moved back with her mom she has gained 25 -30 lbs BM says that she is watching her weight. She would send my DH e-mails or texts saying your daughter lost so many pounds I am so happy for you should be to. When my DH wouldn't send her anything back she stopped telling him about it. Now my DH has asked her about it and BM is not wanting to tell him how things are going with her weight I think that he should know. I'll post this now the reason my DH wouldn't sent anything back to BM about her weight lose is cause he didn't feel he needed to tell her anything but he did tell his daughter he was proud of her weight loss.

Now about phone calls my DH use to call the girls all the time and they would talk for about 10 min then it would be done thats good great and fine. Now that the girls are leaving with BM full time when my DH would call they wouldn't talk to him as much the answers they would give him were short and kinda rude or BM would talk to them while they were on the phone with him. The last time he called to talk to them they were to busy they couldn't talk, my DH said well I guess just have them call me when they can that has been 2 weeks. I asked him why he hasn't called and he said I told her to have them call when they are not busy, I know he wants to see if they will call but should I tell him he just needs to call. Any ideas?

He cant rely on his 6 and 9 year old children to remember to pick up the phone to call. Or maybe they do and their mom comes up with an excuse. He is probably doing it to protect himself and feeling of being let down or ignored but he has to keep trying. Even if he does call and its for 2 seconds they are on the phone or that b*tch is in the background distracting her children selfishly at least your hubby can always say to his children that he called. He doesnt want them coming to him at 16 saying "how come you never called us?" hes the dad, as much as it may hurt to be on the phone for a few short minutes with distracted children he has to find a way to cope with those emotions and call anyway. When his daughters are older and have more confidence they can say "hold on mom, im not busy im talking to my dad" or "mom, stop talking i cant hear my dad" but if he fades out now, i dont see it as a good thing. I hope this didnt come off harsh, that was not my intention at all...good luck! keep us posted!

A costume is a costume and I would not sweat the make-up for halloween. My SS-18 wore make-up. He looked like a blood soaked zombie but it was make-up.

The weight gain is another issue. If your DH feels their is a health risk to his daughte rhe should act on it in court.

Best regards,

The reason the make up was such a big deal is because she looked like a I hate to say this but looked like a hooker! I understand dressing up and having fun but it looked ridiculous for a 9 year old halloween or not. As far as the witch thing I am not saying that you guys are not but its not a good Christian thing in my eyes or my DH eyes! I know you can't expect everyone to share your way of thinking and that's fine just needed to vent!

Oh she will never know if we didn't approve that just adds fuel to her fire! We did say thank you I may not like her but I won't just be upfront rude

When we had them last they said their mom had already bought them so we weren't going to buy more!

Did he ever ask them what they were going to be for Halloween BEFORE Oct. 31st? Or is he just criticizing after.

Lots of makeup on halloween is pretty normal.

Yes we asked both of them what they were going to be the youngest said a banana or barbie and the oldest said a sweet heart candy or one of the girls from high school musical. He isn't the one who is criticizing its me!

well to be honest, if you are so anti witch as a part of religious beliefs, you should of course be against halloween...seeing as it is a PAGAN holiday.

I would rather mine dress up as a witch than as a barbie.

I think you should re-examine your priorities. They seem to be a bit screwed up.
