My Poor Girls

Big Sis asked to call her Dad right now. She called him, and he finally answered. He rarely answers when she calls. It's sad really.

So they talked. Big Sis asked how he was doing, and how "step-mom" is doing. They're not married yet, but that's what Big Sis calls her.

Then Little Sis got to talk to him. She takes it the worst when she finally talks to him. She handed the phone back to Big Sis, and said, in her pitiful little voice, "I miss my Daddy."

*sigh* It's so hard. Big Sis hasn't seen him since December 2006. She spent a week with him, when she was supposed to spend two weeks. Little Sis hasn't seen him since he brought down the divorce papers in November 2006. She saw him a total of about 45 minutes. He wouldn't even take her on the carousel at the mall!

I just wish he would either step up and be the dad they want him to be, or disappear. After he pays all his child support, of course. It breaks my heart that he doesn't want to talk to them. He never calls, and didn't even answer the phone when they called him on Father's Day.

My Stupid Ex

I called my Ex, telling him that I can get Big Sis a round trip ticket to fly from San Diego to Oakland for less than $200.

He goes off, saying she can't fly alone until she's 15 (Not true. Southwest's Unaccompanied Minor minimum age is 5). He also says that she can't stay with him because he has no room (she has no problems sleeping on the floor), so she'd have to stay with his parents. But they're in Wyoming.

@@ If he doesn't want to see her, why doesn't he just say so, and stop making excuses?

Jerk.
