It's All My Husband's Fault

  After learning that The Ex had a texting number on Friday, Husband sent her a text on Sunday asking if they could switch weekends in December.  The Ex didn't respond.   On Monday afternoon, The Ex's mom left Husband a message saying, "[The Ex's] sister-in-law called me.  She didn't feel like calling you, so I'm calling you. ( Why would either of you call Husband? )"  The Ex's mom goes on about how The Ex wants to know if she's picking the kids up on Tuesday or not until Wednesday for Thanksgiving, and asks Husband to call her.   Husband was at the dentist with Son and Daughter, went grocery shopping afterward and remembered as we were sitting down to eat that The Ex's mom had tried calling him.  Husband sent The Ex's mom a text saying that he had texted The Ex the night before and had emailed her that day.   Apparently, The Ex's mom did not get this text so she called Husband again.  We were eating dinner, so Husband obviously d...

  The Friday before Thanksgiving, Husband gets out of work, turns on his phone and has a text message from an unknown number saying the open wi-fi at the house has been locked, their computer is broken and they don't know who can look at it for free, and any emails since the last one they sent to Husband haven't been read.  Then they say they want to know if they can pick up the kids early on Tuesday.   Husband texts back later that day and asks who it is. ( We've both had the same phone numbers for 10+ years but we still get "wrong number" texts )  The person texts back: "It's [The Ex]." ( ?? )  Husband asks when she got a new number; The Ex says she didn't get a new number, this number is for texting only, someone found it for her for free.  The Ex goes on to complain about how they sometimes get messages hours late or even the next day, sometimes they don't get the whole message if it's long.  "Not reliable but all I have" ...

  Let's skip back one day.  The night before Son hurt himself, The Ex left Husband a message at almost 9pm saying that her dad was picking up the kids for her that Friday ( Because she is just sooo busy working part-time, she can't possibly come to get her own kids )  The Ex says that her dad wants to know if he can pick up the kids "a little bit earlier" and says a little bit means "a half hour, if not an hour earlier" ( Not what I would consider "a little bit" but okay. )  Husband didn't get time to call The Ex back, figured he would text or email her the next day.   Then Son got hurt, we went to the hospital and The Ex's parent's drove down.  As we're standing outside of the hospital, The Ex's dad brings up picking up the kids early on Friday.  Husband tells him he's not sure if that will work, he likes to say goodbye to them before they leave.  I say to The Ex's dad also that Husband works until 4pm and then has to...
