Ok sorry if this is insanely long but the father of my girls really got to me the other day and I just had to vent somewhere.. The situation is my oldest is almost 3 her father has never been there for her. He will come into her life and act like father of the year for a week then disappear for months. She had 2 SEIZURES and he didn't call or ask how she was or visit her in the hospital.
You are not a parent. I have been their mother and father for years. You don't know what it means to be a parent! I have gone hungry so they could eat, I have sold MY possessions so I could buy them what they needed. Diapers, wipes formula and food. You are Not their “daddy”. You put on a show for your family and girlfriend. You haven't held either of them while they were so sick they couldn't keep anything down. You haven't had sleepless nights because you were in the hospital cradling her while she had tests done. You haven't kissed them on their foreheads while their asleep so they don't have nightmares. You don't know what it takes to be a dad. Any idiot can father a child, but a real MAN protects his kids and cares for them. If I asked you what their favorite breakfast was you would have no clue or say it's going to change so it doesn't matter. A real dad would know it does matter. You haven't been up all night with a screaming kid not knowing what's wrong or what to do. You sleep sound at night not knowing a damn thing about them. So no, you are not their daddy. You are simply their father. They have a daddy. One who knows and cares about them. One who missed work to take Amelia to the doctor because we were worried something was wrong. One who stayed up all night with Brooke in the hospital and held her hand while she got a CAT scan. He is their Daddy. Not you. You never will be.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
