Oh my actual goodness.
Among other things, I blogged the other day about The Ex bringing Son and Daughter home an hour and half late on Sunday evening. Husband was going to email her about it on 2houses but decided it's not worth it; it's just going to start a fight and it's not going to change anything. Husband had left that morning to go out-of-state for work; I'm sure she rationalized her behavior by saying that since Husband wasn't home anyway, it didn't matter what time they came back because he's the parent so he has placement and I do not. So in her mind, she felt completely justified in not returning them by the court ordered time. Never mind that on her placement weekends, Son spends the entire 2 days with Girlfriend - she's going to complain about what we do on our time.
And to be entirely honest, I felt a bit of sympathy for her the other day because something dawned on me: she had to drive almost 4 hours round-trip for the sole purpose of dropping her kids off so that another woman could take care of them. Narcissist or not, that is one terribly bitter pill for anybody to swallow. Granted, it's her fault we have custody but that still doesn't make it any easier.
I saw in Daughter's phone yesterday that when I had texted The Ex on Sunday asking if she knew where the kids were, The Ex screenshot the message, texted it to Son and Daughter, and wrote something about how I was probably going to pretend to be Husband either that night or the next on 2houses. Once I saw that, I was kind of happy with our decision to just let it go.
Until this morning.
The Ex texted Husband at 6:34am and wrote:
"Hey, Last (The word "last" was capitalized why, exactly?) night [The Ex's daughter] handed me a slip for her concert. (She got the slip last night, and waited until 6:34am the following morning to talk to Husband about it.) It's on the 19th @ 7pm. (Okay, and?) She she needs to be there by 6:30pm. (Okay, AND?) Please can I pick up the kids straight after school? (HAHAHAHAHA.) Or can [Son] drive up? (Oh my word, this is even funnier yet!!) I think this would be great for the kids to have there (*their) siblings attend. (They've had to miss things here too. It's part of life. Also, how is this "great for the kids"? Your daughter is only one child and she's the only one with the concert.) Please let me know."
Husband texted her back and told her to use 2houses to communicate, which I'm sure completely set her off. She then texted both of the kids, I'm not sure exactly what she said but we know she was bitching about Husband and whether or not she was going to get them early next week. The reason we know this is because Son texted Husband saying:
"So were not gonna make it to [The Ex's daughter's] concert cuz you don't want us picked up early?" (Husband never said that. Oh, and let's disregard that paragraph in the court order that reads, "Both parents should make every effort to communicate directly with each other, rather than through a spouse, significant other or the children." She asked a question, Husband didn't say yes, so she texts both kids telling them that Husband is making them miss their sister's concert. And all that bullshit aside, let's be honest: Son isn't planning on going to this concert regardless of what time he gets picked up. Son only wants to go early so he can spend a few extra hours with Girlfriend.)
Husband ignored him because, again, the kids are not supposed to be utilized to discuss schedule changes. Another point to make is how interesting it is that Son "knows what's going on" despite Husband and The Ex not even discussing it yet.
Sixteen minutes after texting him, The Ex logged into 2houses for the first time in nearly three months and sent a message with the subject, "[The Ex's daughter's] Concert/Pickup 19th" which read:
"I tried texting you but you won't talk to me anywhere but on 2 houses which is childish. (I'm saved in her contacts as, "Ugly's Wife [my name, misspelled]." But using written, documented communication is childish.) So here I am hi. (And there you shall stay.) Anyways, [The Ex's daughter] has a concert at 7pm and needs to be there at 6:30 p.m. on the 19th which is also a pick-up day for the kids. (Doesn't mean anything to me, but cool.) Since you like me begging, (When did he ever say that?) may I please on my freaking knees (Soooo many jokes to make.... *GAG*) pick up our kids at 3 after school and bring them so they can see there (*their) sister [name] at her concert? Please let me know so i can move my schedule around or ask someone to pick them up."
I told Husband that this really makes me laugh because it just goes to show that she was intentionally avoiding using the site for no reason other than to make things difficult. Now suddenly, she wants something and the site works just fine.
I'm telling you, this woman and everything that accompanies her is just a total circus.
