Are You Ready For Some Football???
Five days after the scene at the ball field, we got a phone call - Son's first football practice was going to be on Monday at 5pm. We asked the coach if he had a schedule for the rest of the season so we could provide it to The Ex; he said the rest of the schedule would be given out at the first practice. Husband sent The Ex an email informing her of all of this; he asked if The Ex would be bringing Son to practice, or if Husband should just bring Daughter back on Sunday night. Husband also said that Son wanted contacts so if The Ex had an objection to it, to please let him know.
The week goes by; The Ex doesn't respond. That Friday, she shows up to drop the kids off. Husband asks her what's going on for Monday. "[Son] don't want to play in [School City], where's he playing?" (The Ex knew exactly what Husband was talking about. Clearly, she read the email and ignored it.) Husband says Son is playing in School City. The Ex says, "He don't want to-" Husband says that's where Son said he wanted to play, so that's where we signed him up. The Ex says, "Well, I just talked to him on the way up here. I was like, 'Where are you playing, [Son]?' He's like, 'I don't know, I don't want to play for [School City.]" Husband says that's not the thing, he's asking what's going on for Monday.
The Ex sits there, then says, "I do object to the eye wear." (Okay, so for sure she read the email and is just being a douche bag now.) The Ex says it's "an extra expense she doesn't have" (I think she meant "an extra expense I can't afford") and "if she went most of her life with glasses, then [Son] can do it too." (Except for the fact that you spent almost $4,000 on laser eye surgery for yourself, and are now claiming you "can't afford" contacts for your child) Husband says if Son is playing football, he can't wear his glasses. The Ex says if Husband buys the contacts, that's his expense.
Husband goes back to the original topic, asks if The Ex is bringing Son to practice. "I can't bring him Monday. I work pretty much all week. No, I can't. Bring [Daughter] Sunday." (Okay then. You could have sent an email in 30 seconds that said all of that)
Sunday night, The Ex sends Husband an email. Now she claims that she told him on Friday that having contacts is "a big responsibility." (She never said this. We have audio of it. And Son is 13, it's not that big of a responsibility for him) The Ex repeats she can't afford contacts, if Husband buys them then she's not responsible for the cost, and says she talked to Son and told him she can't afford his contacts at this time (Three words: laser eye surgery.)
The Ex then launches into complaining about sports. "Summer sports just got over with and now another sport has just began that which we didn't agree to." ("that which"? Does she not proof-read anything?) The Ex says that Husband "says" he just got a phone call, but what about asking her if Son can play and where? "There was no agreeing to this." The Ex then says, "About [Son] playing football in [School City], I strongly disagree [Son] playing there." (Again, proof-read. It doesn't take that long and makes you look coherent.) Now she claims that Son was "left out" of baseball (Son played in seventeen games in the regular season, the all-star tournament and the playoffs. You know how many games there were total? Nineteen. He sat out two games, one of which he was half an hour late for, and The Ex is bitching that Son was "left out." Unreal.) and that he was "very hurt by coaches in [School City]" and she does not want that to happen again. The Ex again brings up the kids playing sports in Hometown (We can't take them, period. Why is this so hard to understand?) The Ex complains, again, about the cancelled game that she drove to and how there is "no communication" between them. The Ex says she has to drive one hour and a half (Funny, last year you told Husband it was only a 55-minute drive) and that she needs a 2-hour notice about a cancelled game, and not by text.
Husband emails her back, repeats what he said on Friday about Son needing contacts for sports. Husband points out it would be more expensive to replace Son's glasses if they get broken while in sports. Husband tells her that if Son is responsible enough to babysit her children, then Son is responsible enough for contacts (Truth hurts, doesn't it? You trust him to watch a toddler but not to have contacts? Idiot...) Husband reminds The Ex about their emails in April; she said the kids should play sports here during Husband's placement (I will bet you she is so freaking pissed off about this.) Husband says that he and I asked Son multiple times where he wanted to play football; Son always said School City, so that is where we signed him up.
Husband says that Son was not left out of baseball and played in nearly every game. Husband says that the head coach already asked Son to come back next year, and Son said that he wants to. Husband tells The Ex that he will not be discussing sports in Hometown anymore. Husband also tells her that I did not find out until almost 3pm about the game getting cancelled, and that I texted her at least 2 hours before to let her know.
The Ex was quiet for 10 days. Then we screwed up, and went school supply shopping for the kids.
