Do all dads light up like a Christmas tree when they see their kids?
Forums:
My FDH does when he sees his DD18 and DD23. He literally jumps up and down, and one time, he practically jumped out of my moving car to say "hi". It makes me sick. It would be different if they were 2 and 4 year old little girls, you know what I mean?
At that age, I think it's
At that age, I think it's little odd. Had it been a long time since he'd seen them?
He sees them every week. He
He sees them every week. He doesn't light up like that when he sees me because we live together. That's his excuse.
I agree with CW. Would I try
I agree with CW. Would I try to get out of a moving car, no, but that he gets excited to see his kids sounds very nice.
How do they treat you?
How do "SD's" treat me? They
How do "SD's" treat me? They ignore me and don't acknowledge my presence. Never eye contact with me or a simple "hi".
I'm just curious and want to
I'm just curious and want to know if all dads are like that. I'm fine with a dad who is happy to see his kids, but to jump up and down like a child? And it's not like he hasn't seen them in a long time.
He repeatedly tells me they
He repeatedly tells me they come first. Btw, they don't treat him well. They abuse him physically and emotionally, giving him the guilt trip all the time. And he never gets upset even when she punches him for no reason, just because she was having a bad day and cusses at him with the f word, or because her boyfriend dumps her. It bothers me because he gives them everything and yet, they still treat him like shit.
Yes, they are 18 and 23. If
Yes, they are 18 and 23. If they were younger, I'd understand and fully support it. I jokingly said that once, "maybe I need to throw a fit and punch and kick you to get your attention".
If they said "jump", he'd say, "which bridge?"
I know that my mom still gets
I know that my mom still gets excited to see me, and I'm nearly 40. But, she's just that flippy hippy type. Hahaha, and I see her about once a week. I don't treat her like crap though...and she gets more excited about seeing bs13 than me.
If they have been so hateful to him, and he still gets that happy, it kind of sounds like an abusive relationship... You know, a glutton for punishment type deal where the abuser punches you in the face and the victim still says "oh, but she's so beautiful, look at her, my dtr, its not her fault she punched me, I shouldn't have said that"
Imo, seems a little twisted.... Unless they are fantastic kids with a healthy relationship:)

ok, i didn't realize that the kids were this old (this just makes it worse). i replied to your previous post regarding bm being invited to all family events. i posted this:
"Please don't let this man and his WIFE disrespect u anymore. Divorce or not she has wife status. Bm knows it, ur dh knows it and his family knows it. I don't now what ur role is in his life but it's definitely NOT that of potential spouse. That slot is filled. Please please do more than vent and either claim ur rightful place or tell them all to go to hell and get out with some self respect."
what exactly are you getting out of this relationship? so, you are supposed to sit in the corner like his ex gfriend and read a book while they have their family time (which most certainly doesn't include you?) and then go home and pay 1/2 of the bills? am i the only one seeing this??? honey, honey, honey....please...i'm speechless right now.
