I don't understand any of this.
The Ex is...I don't even know what word to use to describe this. Holiday Crazy is nothing new, but this one is just plain silly.
Yesterday, Daughter called The Ex to see if she could stay with us this weekend since a friend is having a birthday party. The Ex said yes, started asking about Son and what was wrong(He had a temper tantrum over the weekend and messaged her, which she didn't respond to.), and then started talking about her family celebrating Christmas. I thought I overheard something but wasn't positive until she messaged Son later. I'm going to share with you some of what she said:
"We're doing that elephant gift exchange here at the house (She means that they're doing "White Elephant" for Christmas this year.) [The Ex's nephew] is an it only because he's buying his own gift (I think she was saying her one nephew isn't participating, but somehow wrote "is an it.") and I told [Daughter] that if you both want to be in it you both need to buy your own gift ("If you want to be a part of our family Christmas, then you have to spend money." Thanks, Mommy.) and it needs to be a neutral gift for a boy or girl (That's what "neutral" means.) and it needs to be $25 or more" (Who set that price tag?? Although I suppose, it's cheaper for all of them to only buy one gift and call it good. In past years, she'd go shopping for presents for her kids and her parents paid for the majority of them; now, her parents are a financial mess and are having trouble paying their own bills. Solution: everyone has to buy one present, including Son and Daughter, to make sure everyone gets something.)
But wait, this is my favorite part!!!
"I told [Daughter] to tell your dad to buy a $25 gift for male or female and bring it over. Tell your dad you don't want to feel left out."
"Sorry Mom doesn't have a lot of money"
................................................I wish I could make this up. This crazy bitch actually told the kids that WE are supposed to buy presents for HER family so that the kids don't feel "left out." I'm relatively sure I heard her tell Daughter that Husband should buy something for one or both of the kids to take to her house "because he makes twice what she does."
Husband busts his ass to provide for our family and he gets paid well for it - you are not entitled to what he worked for. If you're so concerned by the fact that he earns more than you do, then go find a better-paying job.
