Let's just pretend nothing happened.

  After Daughter and The Ex had their fight on Friday (I wrote about it here.),  The Ex's sister called Daughter later that night and asked where they were.  Daughter said she didn't know and that she wasn't coming up because The Ex said she didn't want to bring her back for practice so she made plans with her friends, only to have The Ex call and say that she was going to pick her up and have her back in time for practice on Monday.  Daughter said she wasn't cancelling her plans because The Ex kept changing her mind; The Ex's sister replied, "Serves her right."

  I don't think that Daughter has talked to The Ex since then.  This morning, The Ex uploaded two pictures to Facebook.  She tagged both of her parents, Son, Daughter, Boyfriend, and Ned in the post and wrote:
"Do you remember [The Ex's dog] always jumping into [The Ex's son's] crib and taking his pacifiers? (Why was the dog jumping into the crib?  You weren't worried about this at any point in time??  And no, Ned won't remember that because it happened 2-3 years before you even met him.  You know, when you were still married to your second husband?) Well walking through Walmart we stopped in the pet department and picked up some treats and noticed a doggy pacifier!! We had to buy it. (You have to buy food.  You have to buy clothing.  You do not have to buy a pacifier for your dog.  Tell me again about how you're so poor and can't afford to bring Daughter to practice.) [The Ex's dog] just loves it! He wouldn't leave it out of his sight even when he wasn't playing with it he had it right by his side and no one could touch it. (Her poor grammar and lack of punctuation still irritates me.) [The Ex's son] wanted to have a picture with him. All my loves! ("All my loves"?  There's a picture of your dog, and a picture of your youngest child with your dog.  How is that "all my loves"?  What does that even mean??) So precious..."

  Immediately after uploading this, The Ex commented on her own post:
"[Daughter first & last name] do you have the picture with [The Ex's dog] sucking on [The Ex's sons] pacifier? Please post it on here so we can see it. Thanks sweetie" ("I didn't exercise my placement weekend because it was too much work for me to see you; I essentially told you that you're not worth my time, money, or energy.  But can you go find a picture and post it so I can show it to all my new friends?  Thanks sweetie.")

  I knew which picture The Ex was asking Daughter for.  I looked in her Facebook pictures and found it in under 30 seconds.  The difference between me and The Ex is that I don't get into a fight with Daughter, ignore her for five days, then ask her to go find me a picture from five years ago and actually expect her to do it.
