Fathers and sons

I had the kids on Friday. It was Cole's 3rd birthday a few days earlier so we were going to have a some treats and loads of fun but Connor was playing up, something he's been doing a lot lately. I don't know if he gets it from home or school, I don't really get enough time with them to have much of an impact on their lives. When I was taking them home Connor told me he had a real Dad (to say it was a bit of a blow would be a massive understatement) and he was saying he wants to hit me and scratch me then he ran to the other end of the bus because he didn't want to sit with me. I may be being paranoid when I say this but sometimes it sounds as if they're being coached by the way they say certain things.

It feels like they don't really need me anymore and I can't imagine it will be long before they say to their mother that they don't want to come down anymore. I'd love to see them more but it feels like it's too late, I won't give up and I'll do everything I can but it's not my choice at the end of the day. I don't know what I would do without my boys it doesn't really bear thinking about.

Your their dad...... When it comes to kids that really is unconditional!! I used to be a little cow when my dad came round.. Still no one could replace him. They will love you always no matter what is said to them. As long as your always there for them they will be ok. Txxxxxxxx
