I'm so cross with my DP's kids today!
It's DP's birthday and all week I've been asking his eldest (13) if they had bought him a present or made him a card or anything and even offered to take them if they needed help paying or picking up something.
13 year old regularly goes in to town with her friends and on Tuesday was given £20 by DP as pocket money and she hasn't so much as got him a card! I'm so angry with her right now!!!!!
They kicked up a stink about how they needed to stay with DP so they could be with him on the morning of his birthday (I suspect that's because they know I'm taking him out later) but neither has even said happy birthday to him this morning.
I FaceTimed him first thing to say happy birthday and he was devastated.
The kids are acting so selfishly at the moment, it's all about what they can get from him financially and it's awful. He is a wonderful dad, he splits custody with his ex as fairly as he is able and does everything he possibly can for them but they continuously treat him like dirt.
I'm so sad for him, I'm not sure how I can make this better
