I try not to complain about poker, say what i have to and let it go and move on. So, today i just needed to do this blog,so i can move on. Mom wants her once a month visit extended to 4 days,so i cancel school for monday and tuesday. I make plans for myself, and a heavy date with the felts for the next few days.We are talking, eat sleep and play poker and i was so looking forward to it. My daughter leaves friday afternoon and mom calls me this morning and she comes up with about 5 different reasons, all of which are not sufficient to not spend time with her daughter! Anywho,i tell her bring her home, cause i will always cancel any plans i have for my daughters welfare! Maybe someday she will get it.................maybe she wont! Maybe alcohol plays a big part here too.im not for sure, but about 99% sure here. Things have just settled down now and i wanted to write this blog, because we as a society here so much about DEAD BEAT DADS! Well here is a little story about the shoe on the other foot. Just wanted to vent and and let it go. Sometimes it just takes a little venting to move on............................................................OK, im better now and time to get back to the routine....2 days earlier than expected , but im ok with it.Thank you all for listening and have a great night on the felts and ill see you all on later
how can you not want to spend time with her, over your own needs?

Your little girl looks like an angel. I am sorry you have probs with her Mother with access, etc. I can associate with that as my son only gets Olivia 3 nights a fortnight. Naturally we would like more time with her.
Its going to be Ok..just think no matter what in the end its what you give to her (love) that matters
...I know that it isnt easy to deal with her Mommy's short comings, everyday to have to deal with the questions on why she doesnt want here own child?, what did she do to deserve a mom that doesnt want her?..and there will be a million more as she gets older, including all those that you have right now....but in the end all that is going to matter is how you deal with the now..and so far I know your doing a great job
Sorry your short vacation was inruputed but it will be 'otay
and so will you...

Sorry Johnny it sucks when a parent does that. Whether its a mom or a dad.
I found party time was more important to my ex. and If I was working then he would drive around and fine my mother to get rid of my daughter. I say my cause he sure was no dad and still isn't. And yes alcohol was and is still his problem.
But who loses out the most the kids.
Thank-fully your daughter ( and I must say she looks like a cutie
) has you.
God Bless

So you just never know about moms. Be a great dad and sounds like you are.
Thank you all for the comments, i just know now ,how single moms feel when they talk about the dads when they dont spend time with their own child and give the child the love they deserve.
it is really sad for the child, and it kinda hurts! Maybe someday my little one will get a new mommy! lol 
ugggg. I am an optimistic person and hope that people do right by you or their children however, the older i get it just doesn't seem to happen. grrrrr. Thank goodness G has a great father like you and ya'll will be ok because of that.
Take care
Hope
Great dad is all I can say...for them mom , a different story. I have 2 grandkids who their mom doesn't ever see them, actually their aunt keeps them, has custody of them. I would keep them in a heartbeat had the courts allowed me too, but their mom chose her sister..
It's sad and maybe someday your daughter will be like my granddaughter now who will soon be 7 and was probably your little girls age when her mom gave her up, but now she could care less if she sees her, in fact would come here for the weekend than go see her mom or spend anytime with her. It really breaks my heart to hear of women like this.. just don't understand some of them, and its usually related to alchohol or drugs unfortunately.
Anyway, keep up the good work, your a fantastic dad already for all you have done already! She is so adorable!!
Problem solved, now get back to the poker...lol...
Awe man, Fingers that is soooooooooooooooo funny! wish it was that simple sometimes roflmao, my tummy hurts now
From one dad to another. Thumbs up to you for being a stand up dad. Kids come first nomatter what.
PS. She is so beautiful.
Looks like you are doing a good job,just keep loving her.She knows you love her.I have 2 sons,and 1 of them his dad has never seen him,maybe for a whole hour his entire life,and he is 13,and for the first 5 yrs he had the hour from his dad,and I had an open door policy with him about his son,and didnt ask for c/s,just wanted him to be a part of his sons life,well maybe about 10min when he did see him,then it was set up for him to come get his son,and I wouldnt hear from him or anything as to why he didnt show to get his son,and a month or more I would hear from him,and same ole same ole.I just looked at it that my son knows who has been there for him,,and so will your daughter,she is pretty by the way.Yes it does go both ways as far as the mother,or father not being there for their kids.
Have a good day..
I can SO relate...but I'm a grandmother who is raising my two granddaughters. Although my son lives with us--he has a business and is seldom home. This weekend was Mom's. but she cancelled at the last moment--she hasn't seen them for over a month...as a matter of fact she hasn't phoned them--except to cancel this weekend's visit. But here's the scoop--I feel priviledged to be their Nanny--they constantly delight and amaze me...and even though I, sometimes, wish I had more time for myself--I know that raising them is "the right thing to do". Parenthood, at any age is selfless--yet so rewarding.
