My ex husband is a golfer. Golf used to always seem to come first...well, besides money, and then me, when we were married.
Today, he calls and is acting like a child himself, telling me that our son is upset with him, because he is watching the Masters on TV, and not spending time with him.
He said," I told him that the Masters was on this weekend, and I was going to watch it." He said that our son was not occupying himself today, like he sometimes does, and he thought he was doing it on purpose, so he could not watch it.
I told him to just bring him home. He did, and our son was very upset, and even crying. I shouldn`t have said this, but it just came out. I said, "Son, you don`t come between your Dad`s golf now.
My husband has went the extra mile to spend time with him, since he was so upset, by playing football, video games, and making him laugh.
I guess he will see how it is, as he grows up. Sad, really.
He only see`s the boy every other weekend, anyway.
It's sad that a tv program comes before the kid but at least you have a husband now that cares about your kid.
If I was the kid, I would stop going to the biological fathers house.
Talked to my sister about this, and she is right! Our son is spoiled, because his Dad 99% of his time, will give him his attention. He doesn`t make him do anything when he does spend the weekends with him. Its like a big party over there, so when his Dad wanted to watch the Masters this weekend, he didn`t know how to handle it.
I also may add, that he took him to Red Lobster earlier today, and bought him a toy. (He can`t afford to pay his child support, but can afford Red Lobster huh?) lol...
It's a situation that is both sad and funny at the same time. At least your husband was honest with him about the importance of watching the golf game. Your son won't be confused and think that he did something bad that caused his dad to ignore him. And being a male, at least your son will laugh about this incident when he grows up as watching sports is such a popular pastime with men. And if it were a daughter involved, well knowing the way her dad is about golf will make her more accepting of her future s/o's love of sports.

So true.
He is rotton this way, especially with his Dad. He has made him this way, and honestly, thats one of the reasons we are divorced today.
I remember how spoiled rotton his 15 year old daughter was, when we first met. OMG!!!
