Change on the Horizon

After passing a few words with my oldest's, I have some changes to make. I am taking my hands off a lot of things. I have been making sacrifices just so my kids will have things. Instead of getting my car fixed, I was concerned with giving them a nice Christmas. That's not appreciated. Both my girls have cell phones that they can't pay for. I told my oldest that she will need to pay her own bill from here and out. My youngest will have to give hers up unless she gets her dad to pay her bill. I am only doing what is required; I will provide a roof over their heads, put clothes on their back and food in their mouths. I am not going above and beyond. My oldest's birthday is 2 weeks after Christmas. I make sure she celebrates both on time but her dad is another story. Two of his sons have birthdays right after Christmas. I can guarantee they will celebrate each. He told her that she will get her Christmas and birthday after her birthday. That is such BS. Her grandmother (on his side) said the same thing. I am not sugarcoating things with them anymore and I am no longer going to be Ms Nice Guy anymore.
