I feel just horrible at the moment. A few Fridays ago, when we had those storms and flood watches around the state, my daughter's preschool had been one that closed. I took that day off in advance because they were supposed to have an activity with your child at school. My daughter's preschool, as I'm sure all others, have many, many activities and opportunities for the parents to be involved with their child's education. I try to be there for each one, but I slipped up this time.
Today, they had the activity and my little B was the only one without a parent to help her draw the Kalo plant for her t-shirt. My heart just about broke when I called home this afternoon and my Dad tells me that she was the only one without a parent. Sobbing ... at work.
Stuff like this, I can't ask M to take off for. It has to be a life or death situation for him to understand that his daughter needs him, too. I had a fleeting thought this weekend to ask M to be available specifically for this parent-child activity since I used up all my vacation time at work, but I already knew the answer, can't. I'm just one person and it isn't fair that I have all the responsibility when it comes to our daughter. This definitely isn't joint-custody. I don't know what he expects when this turns legal.
I don't mean to diss on the ex, but I'm sad and frustrated and he isn't helping the situation so I've stopped texting him. One thing is for sure ... I'll definitely have to make it up to my little B for missing out today.
Here's to having a better rest-of-the-day ...xoxo
