I wish my da had fucked off when I was 9 . Before I was born would have been better. I might have had something like a normal life .My da fucked off when I was 9, paid no child support, and I saw him a grand total of 3 times more before he died when I was 26. Christmas? pff..
Sad story mate . All the best .2nd year for me after a terrible Xmas last year. The arrangement was for me to come over on Christmas morning and see my little boy open his presents and then go and do my own thing and then pick him up at about 5pm. This way we split the cost of the presents and all was well. 3 days before Christmas she took a dislike to something I said (a common issue) and pulled me from coming over. I had 3 days to go and get presents etc so that my son who was 3 didn’t think that Santa just didn’t bother coming to his Daddy’s.
I turned up at 5pm as she had instructed after spending the day on my own, only for her to tell me she wasn’t ready yet and made me sit in the car for half an hour.
This year I made it very clear that after what she did last Christmas that I would be having him over night Christmas eve and would drop him off at 5pm Christmas day. She shit herself and after leaving her for a couple of weeks to dwell on it she invited me over for the day and to have dinner there. I have made sure this time that I’ve got half his presents at mine in case she pulls the rug from under me again.
Only really works as we are both still single but I pretty much get walked over for the sake of making sure I have the best possible relationship with my little boy.
