I am so tired of being taken advantage of ands yes I know I do it to myself. I've been letting go of my stresses amd letting Jesus take control but today just really surprised me, please whoever reads this give me your input and prayer please. My grandkids father lives with us he works 7 days a week plus 4 nights out of the week and doesn't come home at all most fridays and Saturdays, he asked if he could bring home a puppy but had already accepted the puppy before he even asked me, I told him no because we already have a dog here and he's never home so it would be like me and his kids would be taking care of it and dealing with it, so now he's acting like a big baby and not coming home today and will most likely say hell just move out then or stay at work because that's what he does when he doesn't get his way, he'll do things he knows bothers me or will hurt the kids

I'd say 'if that's how you choose to act, go ahead. But it's your children that will pay, not me'. And leave it at that.

Maybe it would be good for him to have his own place with his kids?...his life seems stressful if he is working that much and a puppy helps him relax and encourages him to be home with his kids so he can help care for the puppy and play with it and His kids, then I would encourage him having the puppy. However it really depends on how old the kids are and if they will help care for the dog. Also how much space you have.

No you misunderstood, he uses the excuse to be at his job a shopping center everyday all day just to be around his girlfriend , he doesn't like to be around his kids much, when he is here he ignores them amd just texts or watches movies on his phone. He would never think of moving with his kids, he would go rent a room for hiself and leave them behind. His girlfriend , his workplace and now a puppy he's only had for a few hours take priority above anything or anyone else. He still would be away from home all time whether there's a puppy or not, he just wants what he wants and if he don't get his way he'll punish kids by leaving them for this puppy. It would be different if he was here everyday after work but that's not the case. I mean look at today, he didn't come home because he didn't want to leave the puppy, he didn't care his kids where waiting for him.

I am a little confused is he the children's granddad or their father, and is he your father-in-law or your dad or ? and whose kids are they, his or yours? Sorry about this but before I answer you with what is in my heart I must understand. PM me if you need to.

You can't make him a good father. You can pray, but I would rather have the guy out of my kids life than make them feel like they weren't worth his time.

Lord Jesus, I pray that you will bring wisdom & guidance to Brokennlost regarding this stressful situation she has been dealing with. Mathew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.…
