Such a good dad

I was rescuing books from my storage shed (I missed them!) and found one that was given to me: ‘The Verbally Abusive Relationship’.

Along with that book, I tossed my antidepressants, anti anxiety and sleeping pills (that I haven’t taken in ages so it wasn’t a cold turkey ending). It was liberating.

But the real reason for this blog is that ExH was going to take Mr Toddler tomorrow morning at 6:45 when I worked. He just texted and said he has ‘company’ tonight and would rather pick MT up later in the morning.

I just said ok. Whatever, the girls are - again - better parents than him. They can keep him until he decides he wants to be a parent tomorrow.

 

Such a good dad, putting his d*ck before his kids.

My sisters think he is bluffing. The one sister said to play dumb and say I’m sure his mom (aka company) would love to see Mt that early! Lol, it would be hilarious to respond!

::sigh:: Unfortunately I have seen more men do that than step up and be men....including my own dad. I'm not sure why men are always left off the hook and feel they aren't responsible for children they helped create. Recently I told DH I wanted to go to a conference for work. His response was, what are you going to do about child care? *shok*  I didn't make our youngest daughter myself, but somehow childcare is completely my responsibility. This happened over a month ago and I am still angry about it. I actually quit my job and let DH know I would be staying home with the children for a while since childcare is completely my responsibility. I am a provider, so my income is well above DH's and my job was extremely stressful. That comment from DH just set me off- really, I make the majority of the income and I am 100% responsible for all childcare???  I'm not sure how long I will be happy at home (I am use to a busy ER) but I am pissed enough to sit at home long enough to seriously stress DH out. F him and men in general who think childcare is a woman's job.
