So, poppa (bdad) is on vacation with his girlfriend. Now, I've been concerned with this relationship b/c she is pretty rude to him and has a lot of issues she should take care of. Poppa lives with his oldest (had with ex-wife) but his youngest (had with a different woman) he does not have any formal visitation set up so he sees her when her mom okays it. So here is my problem, I see him picking gf over fighting for time with his daughter and that pisses me off. This little girl (my sister) is my daughter's age and it really breaks my heart that she does not have the relationship with her father the way she deserves. Do I bring up my pissed-offness to him (in a gentle way of course, most likely via loaded questions/tough questions)?

You will have to be careful in the way you address this with him. If you don't handle it tactfully, he will just get defensive and shut you down. You can try to explain to him how important a dad is to a little girl and suggest that she would really like for him to be a bigger part of her life. Unfortunately, you cannot make him chose his daughter over his gf. You can also try to help your little sister understand that her father's choice to spend more time with gf and less time with her is in no way a reflection on her. She needs to understand that her father is just a bone headed man. Good luck sorting this out between them!
