Everybody knows you never go full retard...

  So about this whole sleepover deal...

  Husband found out about it on the 13th, emailed The Ex right away and told her about it; asked if she just wanted to pick up the kids the following night.  No answer.

  Husband emailed The Ex about the sleepover again on the 17th.  The Ex got this email, because she made a comment to Daughter on the 20th about something that was written in that email.

  Husband mailed out the letter on the 20th telling The Ex that if she was going to continue to ignore his emails, he'd have to file for contempt.  The court got the letter on the 22nd, so presumably The Ex got the letter the same day.  She finally replied on the 22nd, rambling on about other things and asking if Husband wanted to switch weekends.

  Husband emailed back half an hour later, said that he'd keep the kids this weekend and she would get them for the next two weekends; asked again about her picking up the kids after the sleepover.

  On the 23rd, Husband gets a text message:
"I sent you an email yesterday. (And Husband sent one back.) Tomorrow is Friday already (She knows the days of the week, gold star!!) so I need to know what's going on? (...I beg your pardon?) If your (*you're) keeping [Son and Daughter] this weekend or am I picking them up? Please let me know by text or email today." (Hold up just a damned minute here.  Husband emailed her TWICE last week about this; she ignored both emails well past the court-ordered time she was required to respond in.  I know for a fact that she got the second email, because she made a comment to Daughter about something that was in that email.  She then emails Husband once, and then texts him to demand an answer in 24 hours.)
  Husband sends another email saying he got her text, that he already emailed her yesterday and was now forwarding yesterday's email to her.  Husband says that if she needs a faster response from him, then she needs to not wait until the last minute to communicate.  Husband asks again what she wants to do about picking up the kids after Daughter's sleepover and says this is the fourth time he has asked her.

  Almost 4 hours later, Husband gets another email.  It's from The Ex, forwarding the email she sent the day before (Isn't that convenient?  Husband just did this earlier, and here she is doing the exact same thing.  Yet we're supposed to believe she never got any of Husband's reply emails.) and typing:
"[Husband]

  Haven't heard from you either from email or text. (Oh, bullsh*t.) I have emailed you and texted you about this weekend. (Husband emailed you too.  You ignored him until 2 days before you were supposed to pick up the kids.) Since it's late already and I haven't heard from you; (Explain to me why she used a semi-colon.  Does she know what a semi-colon is supposed to be used for?) I'll be picking up the kids tomorrow Friday, October 24th. (Aha. Hahaha.  HAHAHAHA.  Like hell you are.) I wanted to exchange this weekend because of [Daughters Group activity] on Sunday. (Actually, Husband wanted to switch weekends because of the Group activity.  You said no, then changed your mind and said yes 50 hours before you were supposed to pick up Son and Daughter.  Stop trying to act like you were trying to work everything out because you were being a complete bitch for the last week and a half, ignoring every email Husband sent you.  Now you're playing this BS game of "I didn't get your emails" again??  GTFO.) This means she will either be missing out or you will be picking them up early on Sunday.  (F*ck.  That.)
  See tomorrow. ("See tomorrow."  "Have day."  "It nice see you."  I'm going to start speaking like this; just eliminate random words from my sentences and watch people's reactions.  I'm pretty sure they'll think I'm having a stroke.)

[The Ex]"

  Husband emailed The Ex back and said this was the third email he was sending her in the last two days, said he already confirmed they would switch weekends so there is no reason for her to come to our house, said Daughter will not be missing anything because The Ex agreed to her being in Group and agreed to facilitate extracurricular activities and asked for a fifth time to please let him know how she wanted to pick up the kids after the sleepover.

  We were about to go to bed, when it dawned on me that Husband should also send a text message.  Then all the bases were covered and if The Ex showed up the following night, too bad.  Husband sent a text that said he emailed her three times, he already said he'd keep the kids, and to let him know what she wanted to do about next week.

  The next morning:
"Okay.  Haven't as of yet received any emails. (You haven't received three separate emails?  Three?  I could see maybe one, possibly even two.  But three?!) Will check on computer tonight. (If you weren't getting emails on your phone, wouldn't that be first on your list?) Thanks for texting. Have fun with the kids this weekend (I don't know why she bothers writing things like this. We all know she is actually hoping that the kids have a horrible weekend with us.)"

  The Ex did not reply to any emails after that, and still never answered the question about picking up the kids.  Husband sent her an email on Monday morning that said over the last two weeks, he's asked her 6 times how she would like to arrange picking up the kids after Daughter's sleepover; since she is refusing to communicate with him, he made plans for Thursday morning and she can pick up the kids when she's done with work if she'd like.  Still no reply to that email.

  And to finalize all of this, The Ex texts Husband last night to say she can't get off of work for Daughter's sleepover (This is the first and only time she discussed the sleepover with Husband, to announce that she can't get off of work for it despite Husband never asking her to get off of work.) The Ex also said that her parents would be picking up the kids on Thursday. (She's probably going to be really busy doing, you know, nothing.)

  I don't know why she plays this game of "I didn't get your emails/my email isn't working."  I have had the same email address since I was 13 years old and Husband first signed up for an email address almost six years ago; The Ex is on her third email address in the last six years.  She is literally going to force us into using Our Family Wizard, which is going to cost almost $100/year for each of them.  I have no idea why she can't just be honest; there is literally no profit for her in refusing to communicate with Husband.
