YSD has been calling an awful lot lately.....

I noticed that YSD had been calling DH a lot lately. Like a few times a week as opposed to a couple of times a month (if even that).

So I mention it nicely "I noticed YSD has been calling a lot lately".

DH: Oh yeah she is just calling to talk. She is done with school. She is bored.

Me: Oh okay that is good.

DH: Oh and she wanted me to buy her an iPhone5.

DING DING DING

Sooooo DH that is WHY she has been calling you.

Thankfully he told her no. And I know he wont buy her one.

I just made some comment "glad she only calls when she wants you to buy something...as usual."

DH's kids could care less about him. Seriously. They only call him or engage him if they want something from him or they are bored. And even then if and only if they are really really bored.

Once he got MSD settled into her apartment and she realized Dadddddyyyy wasn't going to help pay for the apartment or the car that she got re-poed (Still dont know if she got it back but he never did fix up one of his junkers to give to her....) she has stopped calling him "just to chat".

Thankfully DH got CS papers about MSD now being done with CS. WOOT WOOT!

DH and I got together right when YSD turned 12 and she is now 15. But I noticed that all the skids (now 21, 20, 18) only engaged DH when they needed something. Well I will say that SS20 doesn't and he lived with DH, so I guess I am not really talking about him. But the girl skids- all they talk about is what they want, want, want.

My BS8 goes through this at times and I make sure I explain to him how material things dont matter, its not all about getting a new toy, etc. However when my BS goes with his dad he is excited to see HIM. Even if they sat in a cardboard box all weekend he would be happy just to see his dad. The skids, not so much.
