Another weird message
I don't even know how I forgot to blog about this, but prepare to be entertained by it.
A few weeks ago, Son asked if he had off on a Tuesday. I told him I didn't think so, we hadn't heard anything about it. A week or so later, Son asked again. I looked at the school website and checked the calendar; nothing indicated he had off. Son made a comment to Husband about the two of them going to see a movie together when he had off on Tuesday. Husband asked me; I looked again and still saw nothing about him having off of school on Tuesday.
That weekend, we got a letter in the mail saying that Son didn't have school on Tuesday because of ACT testing. Also that weekend, The Ex picked up Son but allowed Daughter to stay here for a friend's party. Son told The Ex that he had off on Tuesday and asked if she was picking him up. The Ex told Son that she was "leaving it up to him." (Yeah, let the teenager set the placement schedule because that's his responsibility. Miss "I want to spend more time with the kids and will blame Husband every time I can't" is now telling Son that he can choose if he comes to her house, instead of seizing the opportunity to spend more time with her child.)
That Sunday when we picked up Son, he got into the car and asked if he was coming back to The Ex's on Monday night. Husband said no, it was too much driving for one day. Son said that The Ex had told him that she would both pick him and drop him off; Husband said that it didn't work like that. Son then sent a text message to The Ex and told her that Husband said no, he can't come back. The Ex replied and told him she was sorry(She wasn't sorry two days earlier when she gave Son the option to not come back), said that Husband was supposed to let the kids stay with her the night before they had off of school, and she was going to keep his message for her records (As what? Proof that you're still using the kids to communicate with Husband instead of posing the question yourself?)
Immediately after The Ex told Son she was keeping his message "for her records," she called Husband and left a message:
"Hey, it's [The Ex]. I'm calling because [Son] says he doesn't have school on Tuesday and he wanted to stay the night? I said that was fine; I can pick him up right after work...um, tomorrow. (Explain to me how and why you feel that you have the right to completely re-write the placement schedule. We agreed on dates and times; please stop trying to change everything.) He didn't even wanna go home today, but um...I already knew your answer to that one so I said no, he had to. (Son had school on Monday so of course he had to come home. But hey, that's cool; act like Husband is being a total dick because he cares about his child's education and expects regular school attendance.) I guess- I mean, by the way court order states, every time the kids don't have school they come with me the night before. (Nowhere in the court order does it state anything about where the kids are to spend the night prior to having a day off of school. This is entirely fabricated.) So I guess...I'm not sure if you're not gonna let them. (There is no "them" because Daughter has school on Tuesday.) I guess you need to let me know. (I guess you need to stop calling Husband at the last second about everything.) I guess I'll send you a messa- text message. I don't know...when you say you're gonna read thi- listen to this. (She is literally so stupid that she is confusing herself while she's talking.)"
Husband did not get a text message. Five minutes after the message was left, Husband got an email from 2houses that said The Ex had sent a message with the subject, "[Son] and NO school on Tuesday" (Written exactly like that.)
"[Son] doesn't have school on Tuesday. Are you allowing him to come home to mom's Monday night? (....who wrote this? It couldn't have been her; if it was, why is she referring to herself in the third person?) Per court order it states the kids are to stay with mom the night before they have off of school. (Again, the court order does not say this. Nowhere in any of the court orders does it say anything about where the kids spend the night, particularly before having off of school. Also, she is still referring to herself in the third person. This is so freaking weird.) I need to know as soon as possible. (She literally found out the same day we did that Son had off of school, and then waited 48 hours to even bring it up.) I would love to spend more time with him (Oh, is that why you told Son you were "leaving it up to him"?)"
We had stuff going on so we didn't reply immediately, but Husband eventually sent back to her that same night that what the court order says is that The Ex's weekend placement will include the days the kids have off of school. As that particular Tuesday is not part of a weekend and is not a day that is typically scheduled off, it is not part of the placement order and it would be too much to switch placement for only one day. (But omg, you guys. She has a text message saved for her records!!!! That should prove that everything is Husband's fault!!!)
