It's hurting the children more considering they live a block away and we see them all the time. Kids are like mom there he is, can we play? I even heard both her kids say it a few times and she tells them keep walking. I mean what do you say to your kids when you wasn't even given a reason?
All cause what? you can't stand your child's father or his wife? Hunny that's half America! That's no reason why a child should be kept away from his father. She thinks his father don't do anything with him when he was coming over. First of all he treats all the kids the same. Ya at first he was getting special attention (playing game first, picking what to eat) Just to get him comfortable and more relaxed.
Second, there really isn't much to do in the cold. Now that it's warm out, his dad could be helping with baseball, riding a bike ect.
Thirdly, It's kinda hard for him and his dad to bond when she was always throwing in my husband face, that her man does more with her son. well duh he lives with him when he isn't with Grandma half the time and was only allowed when convenient for her to bring him over. Very seldom was there a set schedule for him to come over.
The reason i told her to call first, was cause they would pop up as were walking out the door to go somewhere, then she get PO that we never do anything with him. I'm sorry, but were not gonna wait around wondering when he can come over again.
It's kinda hard to get to know someone every few months or so!
