She's mad at us again, you won't believe why.
Husband sent a message back on April 30th letting The Ex know that the kids' orthodontist appointments in June would have to be on a week that she has placement; he asked her to let him know what day and time works best for her so that he can schedule it at their appointment this month. We checked 2houses daily, and each time it showed that The Ex had not logged in since April 18th. (It's really nice to see that she cares about what's going on in her children's lives.)
Yesterday, Husband took Son in to an oral surgeon for a consultation on wisdom tooth removal. The doctor said that Son would require IV sedation, which may not be covered by our insurances and would be approximately $350-400 and would be need to be paid on the same date that Son had his teeth removed. Husband sent The Ex a message letting her know that Son needed oral surgery, said he scheduled it and put it on the calendar, reminded her that she still owes us nearly $300 for the kids' medical bills, we haven't gotten a payment in six months, pointed out that she hadn't even read a message that had been sent a week ago, and told her that if she wasn't going to follow the order, then they'd have to go back to court.
Exactly one hour later, she responded to the message about the June orthodontist appointment:
"Wow! Really!!! (Why is she so aghast?)
Can't you schedule them on a Monday since you have off work?? (Above and beyond regular medical and dental appointments, Husband has taken the kids to the orthodontist fifteen times; The Ex has taken them three.) Only makes sense doesn't it? (Last summer she took the kids to their appointments in June & July. When August rolled around, she scheduled their August appointment on a day that we had the kids and we both worked. When we rescheduled the August appointment to a day and time that The Ex had previously requested; she announced that Husband would be taking Daughter and she would be taking Son, even though the appointment was at the same office at the same time. Almost two weeks after that, she called the office and asked to reschedule for an earlier time and stated that Husband didn't talk to her before scheduling the appointment.) You can drive too,(Husband has been driving, for over a year and a half.) you make more than double my income. (It doesn't matter who makes more money; what matters is the fact that the kids need to go to the orthodontist. Neither her or Husband's income has anything to do with Son or Daughter getting their braces adjusted, and is thereby irrelevant.)"
Three minutes later, in response to the message that Son is having his wisdom teeth removed:
"July 24 is Monday. I hope all goes well" (I was really confused about this until I realized that what this message actually meant was, "The appointment is on a Monday. You can figure out how to get him there because I'm not taking him.")
In response to her temper tantrum, Husband replied that the kids' braces need to be adjusted every 4-6 weeks; four weeks would be the week that he told her about, he was not able to take them the following week, and the two weeks after that we would be on vacation. Husband said considering that she doesn't pay anything in child support, she hasn't been paying for her half of the kids' medical bills, and her parents do at least half of the transportation for her, she can afford to take the kids to two or three appointments a year. (She is the personification of the term "deadbeat".)
In response to the message telling us what day of the week Son was having his teeth removed, Husband replied that he's aware of what day it is, that either he or I will be taking Son, he was only letting her know that Son is having surgery and that there will be a significant cost so she needs to start paying for her half of the kids' bills.
So, there you have it. The Ex is mad at us because we asked her to be a parent.
