Father's Day was ok, YSD ended up actually staying the night on Sunday (shocker!). It was pretty icky weather so not too much to do outside. YSD didn't go out once, DH did the grocery shopping for her of course. I kept myself very busy with some yard work in between rain showers, running errands, going for a walk and to the gym and reading/watching shows I wanted to watch on my own.

DH and YSD played board games, no, thank you - you enjoy time with your daughter...

DH was talking with me last night...

So now there is a "plan" - YSD18 should be arriving for Father's Day Weekend a week from this Friday.  She's got finals week at high school this week so isn't going anywhere this coming weekend. OK, whatever, finals will be over and she doesn't have to go to school at all the following week. There's an event at the school this Friday that she actually told DH about so I told him he HAS to go to that.

It's been again over a month since YSD graced her dad with her presence. He's getting p*ssed off and worried. Last night he tried blaming BM (yes a good part of the issue) but I redirected him back to being DIRECT with her FFS. I dropped the convo like a hot potato.

She graduates in one month. DH has heard nothing about which college she decided on (oh yes, he has committed to helping pay), nor her plans for graduation or the summer.

YSD's excuse this time

So YSD18 has been here only 2x since December. She has a lot of excuses, some real, some exaggerated.

DH was upset last night because she sent him a text that "C's birthay party is on Sunday so I can't come this weekend." As was already planned. DH said he was trying to figure out how to respond and suggested he might offer some travel help/timing help like "If you come over Friday you can stay until Saturday evening" or "If you come Friday I can drive you early on Sunday morning..." or something like that. He asked for my opinion.  Uh-oh.

Spring Break Time!

So instead of just the weekend YSD18 is here "for a few extra days" DH tells me yesterday, Sunday, afternoon. I'm sure he knew about it before but didn't want to tell me. Ok, whatever - just so you know DH, I'm cooking meat for dinner tonight I had planned and we are out of veg so you'll need to go get more today.

April Update & YSD

YSD18 hasn't been here but for once in early February this year.

DH is increasingly upset about it. I keep telling him to continue to ask her, leave her messages, etc. but don't stop. It's not like her really but I have to wonder, child support ended for him at the end of February....She is also really terrible at communications and human engagement which I also remind him of so it may actually not be a personal thing.

STILL I tell him, it's rude.

I encourage him to go to her. Seek her out. Set a date.

turning point

I asked DH last night if YSD18 was going to be here this weekend. It's been super sporadic since the beginning of the school year.

He said no. Then he added that he hadn't even contacted her, that if she was coming it was on her to let him know, that he's not going to chase her down.

Huh. This is new.
