"He's lying."
Sometimes, I really wish that I could understand what makes a person act like such a damn fool.
Months ago, Daughter brought home a sheet of paper saying there was a weekend basketball tournament and we needed to sign it if she was going to participate; she said she wanted to go so we signed it. Husband updated the calendar to reflect that Daughter had a tournament that weekend; just so you don't think I'm crazy, I've uploaded screen caps of their 2houses account:
The Ex:
No. He's lying. (...excuse me?) He never puts any address. (We didn't have the address, which is why it was written on the calendar; we didn't look for it because we already knew where the school was and how to get there.) Just like last time. I asked him. He never responded. (She's now talking about that time she asked for the address after 9pm on Thursday night, which Husband didn't see until Friday night. This would also be the time that she called the school Friday morning to get the address, and then lied to Daughter about not knowing where the game was and said it was because Husband didn't email her back in less than 24 hours.) [Ned] and I Google it (So if she and Ned can Google the address to other games, why can't she do it for this tournament? Husband gave her the school name two months ago; why is this Daughter's responsibility?)
Daughter:
Ok um i dont know the address if you look up [school name] [school city] it could come up
Daughter decided to look for it anyway and sent the address to The Ex, who was very clearly so incredibly busy for the last two months that she couldn't be bothered to do this on her own.
I take issue with so many things here. The first is that The Ex is so incredibly lazy, she can't even bother to look up an address for a school. The second is that The Ex always needs to be reminded where her kids are and what they're doing, because she simply doesn't care enough to remember. The third is that The Ex has the audacity to lie to the kids and state that Husband is lying to them, as if that will somehow make up for all of her apathetic and inactive parenting.
Textbook narcissism, everybody. None of this is her fault.

Husband updated the calendar to reflect that Daughter had a tournament that weekend; just so you don't think I'm crazy, I've uploaded screen caps of their 2houses account:
Photo 1 shows that Husband added the tournament to the calendar on January 10th
Photo 2 shows that Husband included the name and location of the school where the tournament was being held.
Photo 3 shows the 2houses joint calendar reflecting the date of the tournament as well as the name and location of the school.
The Ex was given two full months notice about this tournament; she never asked Husband any questions, never asked to switch weekends, never indicated if she was attending, never indicated if she had a problem with Daughter attending, etc.
The day before the tournament, Daughter asks me for the address to the school that's hosting the tournament. I tell her I don't know it right off the top of my head and ask why she needs it. Daughter says that The Ex is asking her for it. I tell Daughter that Husband put all of that information on the calendar already and double check my phone just to make sure it's showing up, which of course it was.
Later on, I found out that Daughter had asked The Ex to bring her a pair of shoes when she came on Friday. This followed:

The Ex:
Really?!! (That's in response to Daughter asking for a pair of shoes.)
Moms taking [The Ex's son] to emergency room. He's pretty bad (Turns out her son has/had bronchitis. I have literally no idea why she felt this was important to send half an hour before the kids started school. This is right up there with the time that she called right before bed and told Son that his grandfather "needed to have heart surgery and might not make it" when in reality he was only going in for a stress test.)
Name and address to this tournament tomorrow (Husband already gave her the school name and city but now she's asking Daughter for it.)
Call and remind me tonight (...um....why would she have to do this?)
Daughter:
Yes really and what happen (This is in response to the two texts about her shoes and her brother)
And i dont know dad said it is on the two houses thingy
