Sam: I was hoping for a puppy for my birthday. I was told I would be getting a puppy for my birthday. I didn't get a puppy for my birthday. I was then hoping for a puppy for Christmas. I didn't get a puppy for Christmas. I was really hoping I would get a puppy. What do you think about a puppy?
I told Sam that was his dad's promise... That I would not be getting a puppy.
Last week, I guess, my ex, R, decided that Sam's "Puppy Monologue" had gone on long enough because I got this picture.
R split the cost of the puppy with his new girlfriend, K.
She has a son as well and they thought it was a good idea for the boys to "share" the dog.
One day in and the 3 boys are arguing whose dog it was.
Sam comes running inside to R and K.
Sam: Whose dog is it??
R: You are all sharing the dog... it is all of yours.
Sam: Yeah, but whose dog is it when you and K break up???
R: .... uh.....(looking at K and then back at Sam)... it will be your dog.
Sam: okay (smile beaming)
See??... There's that underlying jab...
But the sad reality is that my children don't believe in relationships that last...
Ah Dawn I feel for you, that's a sad one... you know I think you do a great job with them and I'm sure your boys will learn from YOU not all relationships end and do so badly.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better.
First that is a very BIG puppy. and 2nd as long as the dog doesnt end up at your house.
ReplyDeleteI agree its sad that he was already looking at the end result if things didnt work out.
