The Scales of Responsibility Are Never Equal

...even in the best of circumstances, it will always tip to the mother's side...it's just how it is.









My daughter's father was in town this weekend and spent the day with Camryn.

Over the past few months we have made an attempt to work together, drama-free, for the sake of Camryn...and fortunately things have been okay.

So he comes into town this past weekend and because of his situation -- truckdriver passing through the city with no other form of transportation -- I drive Camryn to his mother's house and agree to pick her up in the afternoon.

Everything went well and they enjoyed the day together. When I picked her up, he proceeds to tell me that he does not have the $100...yes $100 that he was supposed to give me (there was some issue with his paycheck) and that he would try to have half of it the next day.

I played it cool and just said okay...

But later that night I was furious. I have 100% of the responsibility for caring for Camryn day and night, I foot the bill for her expenses 100% of the time, and I spent my gas money and time to ensure that he was able to see his child. And he --- cannot even come through with the little bit that is expected.

I know I am not the first nor the last woman to gripe about their child's father.. and this is so typical of irresponsible fathers...but DAMN!

Needless to say, he did not have half of it the next day...
