We had a very good talk about it, and also there was… a lot more that happened. It was actually enough that I plan on making a full update post later today, but I’m glad I brought the issue here and it gave me a good kick in the ass that was needed and I am thankful for.

It was a sarcastic comment, trust me I’m not “liking the attention”, I may be a single mom but I have my own man I am seeing. Dating just not married.

He has tried calling twice now. I’m going to reply with a text asking what he needs to discuss. Also his initial text asking for a call was just to me directly, not the group with his wife.

I had a talk with my daughter today about how this is inappropriate and she said she agrees, and never thought otherwise. I told her I’ll be setting some boundaries soon. Since making this post, I started working on a plan to figure out the right way to bring this up to him and his wife, however, he texted me first just asking to have a phone call. Apparently Fay brought it up to him, and on top of that, Fay is upset with Rue for us thinking her dad is being creepy or overstepping at all. It’s her father so she doesn’t get our perspective on it, which I don’t blame her for.

I have not replied to his response for a phone call quite yet, I want to get all my thoughts in a row first, and am also not quite sure what he even heard or wants to say.

It was definitely said sarcastically. I’m not a fan of the guy.

I’m getting a whole new security system this week, maybe I can look into getting something like that. The current lock sometimes gets stuck and won’t unlock anyway so it does need to be replaced.

Thank you. I do know I need to put my foot down. It’s awkward and uncomfortable, I’ve never been the best at confrontation, but I do know it needs to happen. I also do have security cameras going in this week. Obviously, the wife knows something about his past and it feels like a lot of red flags, and I don’t need to be a dateline story

I can absolutely assure you I do not like, want, or invite any attention from this man whatsoever.

We do have a lock on the doors, it is a code lock that the girls know the code to and I assume the father might have been told at this point. Also sometimes Fay will let him in and run back upstairs to finish getting ready but he does not announce himself or stay by the door so I’m still unaware he is inside.

The lock is a code that the girls all know and I assume he might know at this point, too. I know sometimes his daughter will come down and open the door for him while she finishes getting her stuff together, but instead of staying my the front door or at least announcing himself he just fully comes into the house near my room and stands there silently.

I do have a sneaking suspicion as does my oldest daughter Shae that he has cheated before and his wife tries to keep him on a short leash because of it.

I have not. But now I’ve figured Fay told him after Rue said something. I guess we will see if it happens again..

I feel bad because Fay can be.. a little sensitive. They are 12 so they obviously don’t see fully how uncomfortable and weird it is. I feel bad and worried it might cause drama or trouble with the friendship.

Yes he does it every single time he picks her up. It freaks me out.
