when the other parent says they are going to take the kids to an event or activity, and the kids are really looking forward to it, and THEN the parent doesnt follow through do YOU try to make it up to the kids?
im struggling here.
sometimes i just Cant! some of what he says he'll do and then doesnt i cant afford. so the kids are just disappointed.
but what about other events?
recently my kids were all excited that their dad was going to take them to this one event.
im thinking it's not going to happen and ALL theyve talked about here is this event.
running to the car the one says 'dad! today we can go to (the event).'
dad says, 'umm. not today.'
biggest kid looks at me like "SEE!? i KNEW it".
the other one will hold on to hope for hte next few weeks.
i breaks my heart,
how much 'picking up the pieces' do you do?
i am taking them to a similar event in a few weeks, but it will be REALLY hard for me to afford to do the one im planning and the one stbx isnt following through with.
