Kailleah's dad is a real piece of work. A week or so ago, Kailleah wrote him a letter (with my help) telling him about a bike - an adult tricycle - that she wanted. She included the price (300 dollars) and a picture of it. She asked if she could have some money - any amount- from her birthday/Christmas account toward the purchase and that mom would pay for the rest of it. The kid can't ride a regular bike, so this is pretty much her only option if she wants to join the family bike riding - which she does want to do. (He tells her that the reason he never buys her any birthday or Christmas presents is that he instead puts money in a bank account for her. Whatever. He says she can't use it, or have it at 18, or even 21, but "when she's older" with his permission. He won't allow her access to it. This is unfair enough, but to then he also takes money out of birthday cards that other people send her which include money. He forwards birthday cards on to us which come to his house for her with a Post-It note inside that says, "Kailleah, this card had 15 dollars in it. I put it in your bank account.") Kailleah has NEVER IN 15 YEARS asked him for ANYTHING. Most 15 year olds would have now probably asked for and recived a game system, or an mp3 player, or a scooter - but not Kailleah. So after yet another birthday and Christmas went by with nothing but a supposed bank account donation, I figured she could ask for some of the gifted money toward a big purchase. It's not like this is something that has a limited shelf life, or even that this is a request for money from his pocket. This is supposedly her gifted money. - before I go on, let me say that the court decided Tuesday that he was supposed to be paying me 200 dollars MORE a month than he has been. He knows he's been getting away with paying me less because I was "trying to be nice" and not go to court. In light of all the saving he's been doing on his parental responsibilities, you'd think he could consider this request. But anyway, back to the story... So he called today to tell her the answer about the bike. They spoke for about 5 minutes and I could not tell by her responses what he had decided. When their conversation was over, I asked her if her dad said he'd help get the bike. She said yeah. I asked if he said how he was going to do this and she said she didn't know. So I called him back and asked him what he decided. He said, "I told Kailleah." and hung up on me. So I called him back and started to leave a message on his answering machine saying, "Hi this is Poppy, I'm calling to ask you if you decided anything about Kailleah's request. As you know, she is not able to relay things like this to me." At this point he picked up and said that he already told Kailleah the answer. I told him that I would like to know the answer and Kailleah can't give me details. He refused to speak to me, but invited me to listen in as he reiterated the answer to Kailleah. He told her that because, she "never calls unless she wants something", he doesn't want to help her. He also said that the "bank account" will be inaccessible to her until he decides it's time. Let me just say that there is no bank account. He is full of SHIT and is taking her birhday money from people who give her a monetary gift. Let me also say that it makes me PHYSICALLY ILL that he has the nerve to judge my child, as if she was a greedy kid who "only called when they want something". As if she is CAPABLE of manipulation or anything similar. She was asking for money that was supposedly gifted to her from other people. That foul odor has never acknowledged her as the young lady she is and he is unworthy of being related to her. What kind of person won't help buy his daughter her first bike???? He is disgusting. Excuse my angry typos. She's getting that fucking bike. Tags: kailleah

I don't think I've mentioned that in November I became the owner of a standard poodle we named Little Lamb. He is now 4 months old (and 48 pounds!), and here are a few pictures. Also some of the little kids. ( Read more... )I am no longer stricken with pnumonia. Pregnancy going fine, no nausea, fatigue or anything, so that's cool. Growing more afraid of a boy every day, but lately I feel like that's what I'm gonna get. Name options so far: Girl Possibilities:Willowmay Wendy Louise Willowmay Wendy Noreen Arrow Laura Louise Arrow Laura Noreen (Willowmay is a name discovered in my family tree, Wendy and Lori are my best friends. Louise is a my dead grandma's name and most of my kids' middle names have Louise in them - Noreen is my MIL.) Boy possibilityArrow James Matthew (Jim and Matt are 2 of my husband's best friends) I'm real short on name ideas at present. I need a good dictionary. I still have no internet access, but I think I will be getting it (DIAL UP - ugh) soon. Just found out my SIL ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) wildrose80 is pregnant again, so I get to be an aunt to another kid which is cool. Too bad we live too far away for me to corrupt any of them! Tags: baby names, pictures, pregnancy
