Hmmm...

So today, BM changed her plans from dropping kids at DH's work because I had to go pick up DH when he was done. She said she'd drop them at 8p, when DH is at home. At about 7.50pm, SD changed her FB status to "At X restaurant" in their town (30 mins away), so it was pretty obvious to me that they were not going to arrive anytime soon. And this is the calmest I've ever been about it, because this time I wasn't waiting on them. DH on the other hand seemed soooo anxious, it was really weird to see him like that. I did show him SD's FB status, so he knew too.

SD eventually texted that they were on their way, mom said sorry but she had some errands to run and the weather was bad and traffic sucked etc. When they got here 2 hrs later at 10pm, it seemed as though it was painstaking for DH to talk to them - he did, but he didn't really seek to engage them as he normally would. They eventually chose to go to bed because we were t watching a movie that they didn't want to see.

I'm guessing DH is depressed?
I'm up his ass to get him to mind what he says to and about BM wrt me.
SS comes and talks about BM's bf and DH doesn't want to hear about him.
BM's back to her old self of showing zero respect for DH.
SD is the messenger for BM's lies.
We have the kids only one day because BM wants them on Sunday.

It really sucks that we have the kids for so little time, and that this is the case for the majority of dads. The kids probably don't appreciate it, but they are missing out on so much that they can learn about life in general from their dads. And sometimes the kids really seems like strangers to us, because they are growing up so different from how they would be if their dad had more time and influence.

DH fell asleep and left me to watch the movie, but I'm heading to bed too.
