Daughter gives zero f*cks.
The Ex was supposed to have placement on Friday at 5:30pm until Monday at 5:30pm due to the kids having off of school. The issue is that Daughter had practice on Monday morning, so we weren't sure if she was going on Friday and coming back early, or staying the weekend here.
Thursday night, Son told The Ex that she should just leave Daughter here for the weekend because he didn't want to come back early on Monday. The Ex replied that Son should tell Daughter she was staying, otherwise The Ex wasn't bringing them home until Monday evening because she had to work. Son said nothing to anyone about this.
Friday afternoon, we still weren't sure what the plan was, so Daughter said she was going to call The Ex and ask. The Ex answered; Daughter asked if she was coming home on Sunday evening. The Ex replied that Son wasn't going to want to come home a day early. Daughter replied, "Well, [Son] doesn't make the rules. He's not an adult." (Oh my effing goodness. That just happened.) The Ex started complaining that she was tired of having to drive so much. Daughter said if she was tired, then she could have Son drive and she could take a nap. The Ex continued to complain about driving, whined that she had to go to her son's tournament on Sunday and was going to be tired. Daughter asked why she didn't ask Ned or her parents to drive. The Ex said no, because then she would have to pay them. Daughter replied, "You have them do it any other time."
The Ex brought up her son's tournament again, said it was an hour away from our house, so Daughter should ask Husband to just pick her up from the tournament. Without hesitating, Daughter replied, "No, because your agreement was that you would do all the driving." (She is just amazing.) The Ex kept whining about being tired of driving. Daughter said that if she wanted Husband to pick her up, then she should be the one to ask him. The Ex actually had the audacity to say that Husband never replies to her emails. (She's nuts. She is absolutely, undeniably insane if she thinks she can state this as if it's a fact.) Daughter said, "If it's only an hour away, why don't you just drop me off then?" The Ex complained that she is "tired of [Husband] walking all over her" and accused Husband of taking Daughter's phone away just so that she can't reach her. (Daughter told us, "I don't even remember the last time you took my phone away. You guys never take my phone.")
The Ex continued to complain about having to drive and being tired. Daughter said, "So what you're saying is, you don't want to see your kids anymore because you're tired of driving." (That's exactly what it sounds like she's saying, but The Ex would never say it that way because she knows how terrible it sounds and she can't blame that on Husband.) The Ex said no, that wasn't what she was saying but kept whining about having to drive. Finally Daughter concluded that she was staying here on The Ex's weekend and that was the end of it.
Less than an hour later, Daughter missed a call from The Ex. She left this voice mail:
"Hey [Daughter]. I just got done talking to Grandma. She does not work Monday, and said that she would take you home. Or, to your basketball game. I don't know...practice, whatever. So...I don't know, just, uh...be home when I get there at 5:30. Bye."
Daughter got this message and said, "Too bad. She told me I wasn't going this weekend so I already made plans." I asked what she was going to tell The Ex. Daughter said that she wasn't going to tell The Ex anything; she had already said she was staying, and she wasn't changing her plans just because The Ex changed her mind.
The Ex tried calling Son a little after 5pm; he didn't have his phone on him so she messaged him saying she was in Our City and asking where he was. (He and Husband were fixing something on his car. Exchange time is 5:30pm. Just because you showed up early doesn't mean he drops everything and runs home.) At 5:20pm, Daughter said that The Ex texted her asking where they were. I told Daughter she could reply that Son was on his way; Daughter said, "No. I'm not telling her anything." (She's seriously pissed, you guys.)
When I got home, I went back and looked at our security cameras. The Ex had gotten to our house about 5:15pm. Son pulled into the driveway about 15 minutes later, gotten his work boots out of his car, was walking to the house to put his keys inside when he suddenly just threw his boots into the air and let them land in the driveway. I told Husband that The Ex must have done something to piss him off; Husband said, "She must have, because he was in a good mood when he left."
And that was on Friday. On Sunday afternoon, Daughter had a lot more to say about Ned and The Ex. I'll try to get that posted today or tomorrow.
