A rant

Damn Cookies

Last week end I drove 300 miles round trip to watch My daughter swim 2 events, prolly in the water a total of 5 minutes, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Jim, I don't know about you, but the way I learned to be a father was by watching my own Dad. It's just the way that I'm suposed to do things. I've felt guilty that I missed several Band marching contests this year, because I couldn't get off work for them. but she understood.

I can't understand parents that don't get involved with thier kids lives, and encourage them to be all that they can become. All four of our girls compeated in both a team sport and an indivigual sport. They were all in band, and participated in various other activies. It was always so sad to see kids looking to the sidelines for someone, hell anyone that was there for them. I hated taking a kid home from an event and seeing thier dad mowing the lawn or some other "important" chore. My lawn was full of crab grass and weeds, but I always thought that raising kids was more important than raising grass.

That was my post.

Why?

Well,i figured there was more to the reason than what i had read for a dad to give such a lame ass ?excuse? as "I had to eat!"

I can see now that he is still in love with you and his step brother married you.
Two thing's that would complicate thing's.
There's probably more that i don't know,but there is still no excuse to not be there when his kid want's to be with dad.

This is just a hard thing for me to talk about.
My parent's was divorced when i was little.
It was hard for me then,and still is.
Sorry if i looked like i was being rude in my first post.
That wasn't my intention's.
Good luck with dealin with this.
I'm sure i can't say anything that could help ya with your ex.
Sorry.
