selfish men!

Sometimes I think I have the two most selfish men on the planet! Last week my daughter needed a ride home from college, and her biological father wouldn't get out of bed to pick her up. Then he made sure that he wouldn't be available to help her out over the weekend when she would need a ride to school and to work. Now, she's been waiting for 2 months to take her driving test and her stepfather got a call for an interview. Her appointment time for her test is at 8:45 a.m. and his interview is at 9:30 a.m. So he's saying that she needs to reschedule her test! She's going to have to wait another 2 months!!! Here's the biggest kicker.....his employer is only 3 BLOCKS away from the DPS!! He could easily walk the 3 blocks but he's throwing a temper tantrum!!
What is it with these men??!!??!!! They compete with each other about who's the better daddy but when it comes down to it, they push her aside. OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!! I want to beat them upside their heads!! I don't know what to do with them anymore.

I just don't understand how people can be this lazy and selfish. Probably they think they lose their msculinity by "jumping all around" for females, when it's not that, it's just helping... especially if it's the (step)daughter, not a stranger... and they call themselves good dads? I would tell at least the stepdad that they could walk to the workplace, and you don't understand why his image of a man with a car is more important than his stepdaughter's driving test, which she has waited months for...

Exactly!! Her father can't bother to return a phone call or a text to verify if he'll be back to the house in time to help. The other father, his interview became more important. I don't dispute the fact that his interview was important, but all he had to do was walk 3 blocks. My sister took time out of her day to come help and allowed my daughter to use her car. My daughter passed her test and was finished BEFORE he even had to be at work for the interview! I'm very grateful for my sister helping and we've let her know it too. ;)

I am very proud of her. She has been driving every day since she got her license. I've had to get over my fear of her driving solo.

Think about what you could do to stop this, I heard this valuable advice that I always took with me, that we got let him wash the dishes since the begining or he'll walk all over his wife. Said and done he's not selfish at all, he does a lot of stuff to me and I think if you do too much people'll expect a lot from you. You have to change and defend your self.

That's one of the reasons why I divorced my first husband. What gets me is every time it comes to my daughter, they both put her needs last and then they boast about how they are the better daddy. In her book, neither one is better than the other. If they're not careful, they'll find themselves on the outside of her life, looking in.

It sure is hard to be in such situation when you have set your mind that somebody is there to do it and then suddenly nobody's there. Well, what do we do with this, but to do it ourselves.

That was part of my problem. I couldn't do it because of my job. I put in so many hours, that I barely have time for myself. I've been reminding both fathers about her taking this test, but they both kept putting it off. Luckily, my sister was able to take time out of her busy day and took my daughter to take her test. Then she allowed my daughter to use her vehicle to take the test. My daughter has never driven her car and was able to pass her test. YAY!!!!!! My daughter and I both made sure that my sister got the credit for helping us out. ;)
