Thoughts? Maybe I’m wrong….

So after his son living across the country in a van for eight months and not seeing him, I felt bad for my son’s dad. He was crying he missed him. When we got back I’d hoped he would actually do something with his son than sit around watching tv and bossing him. But that didn’t change one drop.

Last time he stayed and I picked him up, my exs Mom told him if he didn’t say goodbye to them he couldn’t stay the night. My son being eight and asserting himself, didn’t say bye. He doesn’t have to talk to his grandpa at all anyway because he’s such a jerk to him. My ex knows that.

So now he’s asked me to stay with his dad again for a night, so we call his dad. And he really won’t let him spend the night because of this rule his mom made up 😆 He said he can hang out with him while he works then I can come pick him up 😆 So great he can now ONLY watch you sit on your fat ass in front of a screen….

Isn’t that kinda dumb?

Isn’t that withholding love?

I’m taking my son to the water park instead.

Nevermind I’m tired and have shit to do, I’ll always stick up for my son. It’ll probably be what kills me because I never get a break.

This breaks my heart.
I just can't believe how many people squander their privilege to have children.
One night when I was visiting with my kids for the weekend at my house, they were getting all wild and stuff and I jokingly asked them if they acted like that at their mother's house. My oldest son stopped and looked me dead in the eye and said "no we don't act like this there because they don't play with us".
How can people treat children like a simple fixture.
My kids were the greatest gift I never thought I deserved to experience.
I just can't seem to get enough time around them.
My children were the brass ring. They validated my existence. I want to be surrounded by them eternally.
I am glad he has you to make his life fun and make him feel like he makes a difference. That is so important.

@RebelFox I wish more people saw their children like you do.
A gift. A privilege.
