WWYD?
Okay ladies, I need some help.
I keep feeling as though I should give LMC's father something for the holidays. I have no idea why but I just can't shake the feeling.
It is looking more and more like they will recommend that he lose his services and rights at the next court date. He just hasn't done what he should. He shows up every week but that isn't enough. It's sad, he had every chance to get her back but he just can't seem to get it together.
I don't want to give him a picture of her because I am afriad he will show it to her mom and that freaks me out. Maybe I could just have her make him a little craft or something? Maybe I should just send along some goodies and a card? Maybe I should stop worrying and just do nothing?
What do you think?
Re: WWYD?
I think it's amazing that you can have such empathy for his situation. If it were me, I'd send him a card and perhaps some treats. It never hurts to put some positive energy out in the world. I agree that a picture would be weird, and a craft project might be painful for him...a reminder that he's slowly losing her.
I would trust your instincts.

What about a salt dough ornament with her handprint? I also think having her color him a card would be a nice idea.

I like this. It isn't as if an ornament or something tangible is going to make this process harder for him. He may actually like something of her when she was small since he won't be in contact with her till she is an adult. You could also use Crayola Model Magic if you don't want to make the salt dough (it hardens.) It is very sweet of you.
That's a cool idea!!
