Almost a foty free week-end
We almost, I say almost had a complete foty free week-end.
As you may recall he chose to go away on a GOLF week-end instead of spending time with his children on Saturday.

Now he normally calls every night to speak to Miss 8... normally!  I say for Miss 8 because Master 5 refuses to speak to him on the phone, so he no longer asks! (Who is the adult here??)

Friday evening we didn't hear from him.
Saturday night again we didn't hear from him.
Sunday afternoon he calls at 5pm - ish
Oh - so he's remembered he has kids!!!
(cheeky of me I know)

I happened to be in Miss 8's bedroom with her when he calls.
Master 5 is with us too,
we are laying on Miss 8's bed while she is reading to us.

Miss 8 puts foty on speaker and watches my face
as she responds to her Dad.

He asks the usual questions -
how are you?
what have you done?
what's for tea?

Miss 8 answers on queue - she could answer
the same way every day if she wanted to,
almost robotic.

Then she surprises me ....
she starts asking questions back,
and goes with

"So Dad, you know how you pay for half the
food and stuff with Mum?" 

(I'd told her he contributes (maintenance) -
I don't want her to think he's
 not doing anything for them!)

He says "Yes....."

She goes onto say that with the bookfair at school, she really wants to buy another book (or 3), and how her Mum (me!)
has already bought her one, and could he buy her another.

He again says "Yes.. how much is the book?"
To my surprise she picks the most expensive one.
She appears to lose a bit of courage
she says she thinks it is $25.00.

He says "Yes sure, find out how much it is and
I'll bring it on Tuesday night."

Kids learn so quick don't they!

Hey Molly, I know, but I betchya her Dad thinks I've put her up to it!
He often treats her like a 4 year old! Boy is he going to be sorry when she's 16 and playing him like a fiddle!

Miss 8 is smarter than most women three times her age! Your stories about her never cease to amaze me.

I love reading all your stories about Miss 8. Thats one smart kid you have there :) She'll turn out to be a brilliant young lady. She's really mature for her age!! I guess some of that credit goes to you for being the wonderful mum that u r :)

That girl is so wise beyond her years! Tell her I said she is a goooood girl for thinking about that. LOL Just kidding. Anyway as in response to your other question of mens dealings- who they lean on... You can already see in Master 5 mostly I think they choose not to deal.

Mine realized real quick at the ripe age of 4...she wanted cheerleading so she asked her dad if he would pay for half (I had already told her I would pay for all of it) and he informed her that NO he would not waste his money on nonesense like that...now beer on the other hand....lol Foty's everywhere!!!
