How sad is it that your daughter doesn't want to call you and wish you happy father's day because it's too much pressure????? On Father's day I stopped at a convenience store so the girls could call and wish their dad Happy Father's Day since they couldn't spend it with him and they didn't want to call because he might "act" weird (i.e. rant about not getting to see them which is his fault because he doesn't have a car and is on house arrest or ask 20 questions about mommy and her life they don't want to answer). So, I just pulled back out and we went on our way. They did send him a card. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by supporting their relationship, which I hope the therapist will answer for me.
Today is XBF bday. I did not call and wish him happy bday because I think that would give the wrong impression. He did call and left a message because I didn't answer the phone telling me what a prick I was for not calling and at least wishing him happy bday. Last year I totally forgot his bday because I was so obsessed with planning his father's day stuff. He was quite upset. I felt really bad but I think that just shows where I was in that relationship - who forgets their signifcant other's bday? Someone who's not to into you that's who.

Wait a minute, your exboyfriend was mad you didn't call him? WTF?
He's your ex!
Move on buddy...
Of course I don't know the history here cassie, being new to your blog and all...but ex means ex in my book. My ex and I still text, chat, and email, but I don't expect her to wish me a happy b day or anything down the road.
I think the card and the phone call was plenty for father's day, considering he's on house arrest at the moment.
Your ex needs to move on. Just another sympton of his obsession - why should you call him? He's your ex!
I think I have to agree with everyone else on this one! A card and a phone call is plenty and forget the EX! Sounds like a real loser anyway! :)
I can relate to the kids not wanting to call and wish dad a happy fathers day or any other call. Of course, mine haven't had a number for Ex is almost 5 years but before that it was push and shove to get them to make that call. They didn't want to run the question gamut or deal with what kind of insane mood he might be in when they called.
I have to agree with everyone else on your ex. Forget him- you don't owe him anything.
