In the last three and a half years, I left the house overnight with our 3 year old. The father of our daughter  and I got into an argument.  It all started because I was hesitant on picking up his boys at circle k because he didn't want to deal with them or their bs. He started saying how I never help with things nor his kids. A couple of years ago, I used to pick them up the fall of 2019 semester. I would have to drive approximately 100 miles each day, five days a week, to pick them up from school and drop them off at their dads house.

My bf and I are currently not talking to one another for the last three days. It started on Sunday, he and the boys and their one friend were going to an outdoor expo. My bf told me that he was going to take our 2 year old over there with them, I told him 'no' that he couldn't because she and I needed to get ready for a baby shower that's an hours drive away. The time when they left was 10:30am he kept asking why couldn't she go.

So this year I'm thinking about getting Christmas presents for my steps, last year I didn't get anyone anything except for my bf and our baby. The unfortunate decision for me is that my steps, well 3 of 4 them truly deserve coals. But feeling the pressure this year especially by my bf who made it clear earlier in the year that I... didn't treat his kids good enough.
