Fair-weather father

[polony]

Just a vent.... :mad:

I am not very well at the moment. I have the flu. Aches, chills, sore runny nose, cough etc. Anyway, being a single parent, looking after a child is hard. No time out. Nothing.

I couldn't even take her to day care as she has symptoms too and I don't want her to get the other kids sick.

I asked my sister if she could help me out when she finishes work, but she has been home all day with a miagraine (she get them really bad, and often) and my parents are away.

So I phone DD's dad and asked hom if he could come over coz I need a break. Just half an hour! He laughed at me and said he has been at work all day and that he has things at home to do like water the garden, put washing away. He said he will come over tomorrow!! Thing is, I am sick now. I need him now. But he can't help me.

This gets me angry.

Whenever he does come over to "watch" Layla, I do all the work anyway and he just sits back. So having him over would have not been much help anyway.

I am just feeling sick and miserable and now I feel worse. He makes me so mad :banghead:

Well, better stop now. End of vent.

Ugh. :hugs:

It's just awful when ur sick and there's no-one to help.

My ex is EXACTLY the same, it drives me crazy. He only lives like 5 mins away, but it's all too much effort for him. If fact he hasn't even SEEN his boys for almost 7 weeks now.

Anyway, I hope ur feeling better tomorrow! :hugs:

Hey Polony:hugs:

I hope you do feel better soon. I hate being sick, even more I hate when bub is sick.

I am a single parent, too, and DS Dad has no contact with us (his choice) , but luckily i have my mum here to help out.
DS is really sick at the moment, so I know how you feel and I hope that your little one doesn't get the flu. :fingerscrossed:

Have you got any friends around you could call to help out??? I would love to come over and pamper you, but unfortunatly it's a bit of a hike.:D


Sorry, I know this is no big help, but I do hope that you feel better soon!!:hugs:

Thanks guys!

Feeling only a little bit better today... but I apprecite the love :hugs:

Now DD is barking like a seal. Oh no!

I just gotta remember that women are the ones who can give birth because we are the ones who can cope and do all the work!! I am putting my chin up and moving on.

I hear ya Mandy... I haven't even had bubs yet and already I can almost guarantee that is what my ex will be like, if he even bothers to make any contact....

He couldn't even spare time to see me when we were together, always had "things to do"... so I can't see him helping out with his child!
