Can't resist ... it's FOTY TIME
I've tried so hard today not to blog about him... I've been sitting on my hands in between dog, cat and ebola co-worker who lost his sneeze... but I have to, it's bugging me!!!  So bear with me!

Okay so here goes....

Kaybee (my barely blogging friend) has two beautiful children, and one of them, her baby girl is turning 6 this week, and well her birthday party is on a Saturday at 3pm.

Yes alarm bells are ringing, balloons are falling ... Saturday is FOTY DAY!!!  But Kaybee and family are true family friends and my kids wanna go to their birthday party.

So I email FOTY and let him know, I suggest he could return the kids direct to the play centre at 3pm where the party is being held - if that is ok with him, since it is his 7 hours I'm eating into!!

I was also going to suggest he have the kids on the Sunday instead if he is concerned about those missing 2 hours! Fairs fair ? right?

And unbeknowns to him, I'd been talking the kids into maybe staying at his house on the FRIDAY night also so he could get more time with them... they were half convinced too!
But now I'm stopping.... as he may not even be available and I don't want to disappoint the kids by convincing them it'll be great fun.... but still the kids may raise it tomorrow??

So waiting waiting, finally he emails me back saying "Ironically, I've been invited to play golf in Echuca that week-end.  But I'm not sure if I can afford it!  So can I get back to you?"

Well this is the TYPICAL response I expect to get. You know tough decision right??
Play Golf or spend time with your kids, Play golf ....ahhh ... what the!? ....  the other thing that annoys me about this is that the party/golf weekend is not this one, but the next one, so I wonder how long he was going to wait to tell me, if I hadn't raised the date conflict first!?

Oh and the other thing ... how can he not afford it?? I've already paid him half the settlement amount, which should enable him to play golf week-ends for at least 3 years!!!!!! By which time I am supposed to pay him out the other half ... so there's another 3 years of golf week-ends!

So you see, I keep pushing, keep trying to give him the opportunities... but he just doesn't want them!

Wonders never cease with that man. Easy how do keep from strangling him?

Can't afford golf, sheesh. He shouldn't even be making plans when it cuts into his children's time. What does he think, that the world revolves around him?

Pita - I agree ... 1 Day.. just 1 day per week he HAS TO be a DADDY! and it's too fucking hard .... ooops sorry still excited that it's fucking friday!! :)

and btw I think he's holding the rope that's around his neck, and I'll let him do the rest .. cause he's already building that stand where he can hang it! and then ultimately himself!

Oh poor thing... no golf money. Who cares. Some guys can really make my blood boil!
My guess would be he was going to tell you at the last second or not show.
And I love the FOTY blogs. Don't sit on the hands.

EasyToSay, you should be ashamed! Foty just wants to go play! Whats all this responsibility stuff you keep trying to push on him? What because he has kids he should help raise them?! JK Foty is an a$&. If dude only knew how wonderful being a dad was, what real joy, real fun it is to see your child smile... I promise, someday he will regret this time he could have had, but it will be far to late.

One day his choices will bite him on the arse!, he is digging his own grave where the kids are concerned,
I hope he makes the right choice..though from what i have seen, knowing him that wont happen xxx

keep your chin up :)

Seems like he doesn't like things to get in his way. Have you thought about giving him money so he can go and play. You know - like the other kids?

Don't mind the FOTY posts at all. Blog away, my dear. It's the whole purpose of thoughts. When it comes to FOTY the other comments say it all. Makes you wonder ... do some men not have the Daddy gene? Peace.

Here's a random idea: give us FOTY's email address *insert evil grin here* You know, just sort of accidentally whoopsie it into one of your posts. We promise we won't tell...

Another Daze -yes he does that .. he went on Vacation in February for 2 weeks (where he proposed to her) and he told me the day before he was going!! Luckily a friend had already informed me, and I didn't mention it - because I wanted to see when he would - and it was the day before!

Tony - I know! What am I thinking - he should be allowed to go to golf ... poor guy - just doesn't get enough spare time in his life I guess .. and 8 hours of being a Dad - I'm pushing it huh! :)
Great reply thanks TRH

MissMarie - I know and he's already shovelling dirt ... infact the kids don't want to go with him today already (Saturday) and that's a normal event for Saturdays.

Auntie E - I know, should I give him pocket money? Mmm and if he's a good boy, then I'll increase it by 50c each week he appears!! :)

Colorado - he has the sperm, but I guess it's about image -and for him going to Golf and out with his Young friends is his preference to display rather than a responsible parent!
But that's just my take on it.

BL - you don't know how many times I've wanted to "Out" him or point you all to his Facebook ... but I know that's not the right thing to do ... But I'd love him to have to explain himself to the masses!

This is why he is father of the year! He does not realize what he is doing to his kids.

Wow, I'm back after almost a week and FOTY STILL doesn't get it! Jeez!! I say make your plans for the kids and tell him that when he can make it, show up. You are still acting as the facilitator between his kids and himself. Anyone who chooses golf over his kids doesn't deserve any more help! Be strong! XXX
