Frustration of Being a Single Mother on a day-to- day basis!

First and foremost I love my children, and I’m blessed to give and receive their unconditional love. Children don’t understand the bills that fall behind, the cable on the verge of being cut off, or writing the check to pay for before and aftercare; however, knowing that it may not clear. While waiting for the child support payment to assist me in paying for the boys extracurricular activities.

I juggle to make sure the kids are fed, clothed, happy, and provided for so therefore; is it wrong for me to want assistance from their father every once in a while. Why is it always a argument when it comes to dropping and picking up the kids when it’s his weekend to spend time with them.. Really you only have them Friday evening, all day Saturday, and then partial Sunday and you complain that you want me to pick them up!! What the Hell, I’m the one who has them 26 days of the month and 312 days out of the year to his 4 days a month and technically it’s on 2 full days that he gets them.

My frustration is when I try to communicate that if he could do more, like take them to football practice, attend a Daddy only event at school, or even assist with the infamous Science projects from time to time.

My frustration is when he gets cocky and bring his significant other to our kids football practice or even to my home without get the informal introductions out of the way. I find that very disrespectful and down right not thinking with the right head.

My frustration is when I have to wait for you to send your child support payment through the postal system. When I suggest you go and get a pr-loadable debit card and then have it registered with Child Support Services, you reply, “This is it, this shit is too extracurricular”!! I swear if I could have gone through the phone and choked the Shit out of him, I would have!! Now I know why he is my EX-HUSBAND, because he was selfish as hell.

My frustration is when you have the kids call her Aunt when you’re sleeping with her, what ever happened to Mr. or Mrs. Co-parenting could be so much better, but I must realize one important rule, how does he know how to be a good father if he wasn’t raised with a good father in his household.

I guess the next installment will be “Frustration of a Single Dad”….
