Pathetic

Today after going to the park with one of my best friends, I decided I would let M see P. He had been asking and I couldn't ignore him, so I said okay we will stop by on our way home. He said he would be at his sisters and that worked for us. We got there right as he was getting there from work.

He played with P... somewhat, mostly just talked to me and his sister while I chased P because he was getting into everything. I asked him to please got get P twice in a row and after the second time he says "Why do I always have to be the bad guy, why don't you go get him?" My response was "Because I ALWAYS have to be the bad guy because I am with him 24/7." That shut him up.

He of course decides to start a fight with me in front of his sister, which doesn't bother me in the least. Afterall, everytime he steps out of the room she tells me how they keep trying him to get his act together and how he's acting different now and all this stuff. He says "Why can't you let me take my son??" I tell him because he doesn't even make the effort to come visit him on a regular basis so why should I sacrifice my time with him.

He really doesn't get it. He wants me to just hand him over and say here you go see you in a few days. That's not going to happen. I tell him that I can't trust him, he freaks out and says he is going to take a shower. I ask if we should leave and he says no, can't he just take a shower. Of course, I say, but if you are going to get out of the shower and leave 10 minutes later we would prefer to just leave now. He says that's not going to happen.

He gets out of the shower after 20-25 minutes. Plays with P, goes back in the bathroom to fix his hair. Comes out and says "Well, I'm going to have to get going soon, I'm going out." We leave. We were there a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. At least 30 minutes of that he was in the bathroom. It's pathetic.
