We struck a nerve and weren't even trying to.
It's come to be expected that anytime you try to talk to The Ex, she will act like you are inconveniencing her in every way imaginable. Even if it's something that affects her, she will act like it's a burden for her to have to try to discuss anything about her children.
Back in June, Husband emailed The Ex to let her know that Daughter wanted to play volleyball and basketball this upcoming school year. The next day, The Ex replied that she would like to see a schedule. Husband replied, said he attached the volleyball schedule but that the basketball schedule had not been put out yet. The Ex did not respond.
On July 18th, Husband created calendar events on 2houses showing all of Daughter's volleyball activities: practices, games, tournaments, etc. The Ex said nothing.
On July 29th, I scheduled a sports physical for Daughter with her doctor; now that she's in high school, a physical is required for her to participate in any school sports. Since the physical is required for participation, I managed to get Daughter scheduled the morning of the same day that practice starts so she wouldn't have to sit out. Husband updated the calendar to show the date and time of the physical. The Ex still said nothing.
Practice starts this upcoming Monday so I picked up the required paperwork from the school. Husband sent The Ex a message asking if she was taking Daughter to her physical or if he was; he explained that there was paperwork that the doctor would need to sign.
3 hours and 59 minutes later:
"[Daughter] will be getting dropped off on Sunday. (Oh, okay. Thanks for letting us know. This should have been the end of the message, but unfortunately, it was not.) She has practice the rest of the week. (Yes, we're aware of that. We're the ones who put it all on the calendar.) Like we have done in the previous years, ("In the previous years"?) she'll be staying with you. (Um...I didn't ask about any of this.) You will have her in your care, (Correct, but I didn't know until right now that you were dropping her off on Sunday night. That's why I asked if you were taking her; maybe you were planning on taking her to her physical on Monday morning and then taking her to practice right after.) you'll be taking her."
Um...thanks, I think?
