What is it with people?? ( Archived) (64)

What is it with freaking people? How hard is it to pick up the freaking phone and call and say "Look sorry I won't be able to make it tonight" I am getting fed up and very frustrated here.

And this is not about dating a guy or anything romanticaly involved. This is about my youngest child's father. He called earlier today. Said he would come this evening. Said he will call first. It is freaking 10pm and not a word from him. Now if he thinks he can just show up at like this hour and later then he has another thing coming!!! He could have at least called and said he couldn't make it or something.

What is freaking wrong with seing your children at a decent freaking hour!!!

Sorry *sigh* I am just NOT impressed right now! GRRRRR!!

Tracy >:-(

if he DOES show, politely inform him it is too late, and shut the door.

well I am never late nor never early...I just make it on time and then some

I feel ya....My childrens dad is the exact same way....hang in there girl!!!

Thanks Guys. I can understand once in awhile if your going to be late. But since she's been born he has only come to see her late at night and maybe for like a half hour at a time and once or twice a week.

This is very sensitive for me because I grew up without a father. He suddenly shows up in my life when I turned 16 and acted like he deserved the dad of the year award and thinking he can just be active in my life. I don't think so. He is a stranger to me and I resent him for what he did to me. And I just don't want my Tatiana to go through the same thing :o(

*sigh*

We tend to think the people we love will always be there and who care about time....But that stuff matters! and those we love my not be there one day we all get tired of I do too. got an ex wife like that. guess what? I got tired.But don't bash him to her, she will make up her own mind.

Look at it this way he is the real one missing out on this beautiful little gift God gave to you two. He is the one who is not going to see all the little smiles, hear all the little sounds, watch as those little fingers wrap around his. He is missing out greatly. Hang in there, and remember how blessed you really are.

I hear ya... mine does that too.. calm down now.. You know what I think they do that... It's "easy" being a "part-time" parent isn't it?

Tracy, that so blows. You're a bigger person than I am for letting him come over at obnoxious hours in the first place.

Wish I knew how people can just "flip a light switch" when it comes to shutting their kids out.

Momentary hijack with a similar question/problem...married for 7 years and my husband was a decent Daddy. He hasn't so much as called in almost a year since we split and no one knows where he's at. How do you go from being with your kids 24/7 for years, to disappearing off the face of the earth? Never seen nothing like it and I don't get it.

"NOT impressed either" Erin
