1|1|Since it is his weekend, he would have the say....no different than if they lived with him, I guess. Fortunately my boys' father doesnt commandeer them if they have plans with friends, and that does help their relationship with him. Is there any way you could broach the subject like that with him? Perhaps offer him the next weekend for a visit instead?|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|19:13:31|11/10/2010|

2|2|no, he's an a**. apparently he told her that|pumamomma|pumamomma@yahoo.com|19:27:18|11/10/2010|
no because they are going to the bank to cash a $6 check she got for selling a hobby animal & that on saturday his brother is coming over to help him outside build a lean-to on a hay shed so that means he will not have any time for the kids when they are there anyway. ARRRR. He won't even let my parents visit with the kids if it falls on his weekend and my parents are only in this state 5 weeks twice a year :o(
After she hung up, she cried & I told her she'd have to ask her friend if they could do it next weekend.
They thing is is that he doesn't realize that it will eventually ruin his relationship with them. He continually brags/promises to buy them something, do something FUN with them, or take them somewhere and then doesn't. They are gradually realizing his a**iness. He did this same thing to his now 18 yr old daughter who is now graduated from HS & has a baby and she won't give him the time of day.

3|3|That is sad he can't see the error of his ways....but all you can do is be there for your daughter when he disappoints her....I've had to do that over the years too. Mine are 17 now, dont have much to do with their father in the big picture, but that is now their choice based on how their father built the relationship with them all these years.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:02:33|11/10/2010|

4|1|Does dad see the kids during the week too?|flyvanguard|flyvanguard@yahoo.com|13:05:00|11/12/2010|
I think mommy AND daddy time is VERY important in a little one's life (especially when they're teen's and "tweens") so if dad doesn't visit her during the week I don't think she should miss her week-end with her dad for a friend's sleep over. S
