Things from this weekend.

  Last weekend, Daughter and I were talking about having your period.  I'm not positive how we got on the topic, but that's irrelevant.  In the middle of us talking, Daughter said that The Ex "doesn't like her using tampons."  I asked why.  Daughter said, "I don't know.  She says, 'I was 18 before I used tampons.  I always used pads."  My mouth got ahead of my brain and I blurted out, "Yeah, well she also had a kid at 18, so..."  I immediately apologized for it; Daughter couldn't stop laughing.

  Later that same day, Daughter got a phone call from The Ex's younger daughter.  She asked if Daughter knew where Son's baby book was.  Daughter said no, she didn't.  Her sister said that The Ex said they had the baby book for Son & Girlfriend's baby shower, but now they can't find it.  (I've got so many questions and comments about this.  First, why is a 10-year-old asking where her brother's baby book is?  Second, the baby shower was over two months ago; why are we suddenly looking for this book?  Third....The Ex lost Son's baby book??  Is any of this actually happening?)

  This particular incident didn't happen recently, but I forgot to blog about it so I'll do that now.  I've been getting my nails done consistently for almost 4 years now.  After sports ended this year, Daughter started getting hers done, also.  One of my friends told Daughter that they looked amazing and that she had picked a really great color.  A week or so later, Daughter says to me, "You know what I think is funny?  [My friend's name] told me that she really liked my nails.  [The Ex] saw them and said, 'Ew.'" (Ummm....)  I asked why The Ex had said that; Daughter said that The Ex told Daughter that her nails are "too long" and that The Ex doesn't like fake nails.

  First of all, my nails are much longer than Daughter's are.  I like them that way and I'm still able to function like a normal human being with them at their length, so it's not an issue.  Second, quite a few years back one of the kids' phones was recording while they were at The Ex's house; Daughter said something about her nails being short for basketball.  The Ex told she ought to grow out her nails and "not have man hands, like [my name]."

  Sooo...short nails = man hands, long nails = "Ew."  There is no winning with this woman.

If it walks like a duck....

  I could have told you a long time ago that The Ex is only claiming that Son has depression because it draws more attention to her and she thinks it will convince the court to grant her placement.  However, all of her actions prove that she's not actually concerned at all about Son; if he actually had depression, there's no way he'd be better off with her because she doesn't even pay attention to him right now.   A little over a week ago, Husband emailed The Ex saying that Son told us that she is telling him he is depressed and needs to be on medication.  Husband said that Son is not exhibiting any signs of depression and gave specific examples of how/why; he also said that since The Ex had a concern, he would schedule a doctor's appointment for Son and let her know when it is so that she could attend if she would like.   It took The Ex four days to respond. ( If you honestly thought your kid was depressed, wouldn't you be checking up on them a bit more fre...

Voicemails from 2012

  Sometime in mid-January:      “It’s [The Ex], I just wanted to talk to the kids. Can you please have them call me? Thanks.”   An hour and forty-nine minutes later:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. I called about two hours ago, if not a little more, to talk to the kids. Um, still waiting for you to have them call me back. Bye.” ( It was Family Night.  We didn't have our phones and she knew this. )   Early February:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. Wanted to talk to the kids, if you can have them return my call. Um...I know you say 5 o’clock is the best time to call so...I was hoping to catch ‘em. Have ‘em give me a call. Bye.”  ( Husband never said this.  Our schedule had been the same since 2009; the kids and I didn't get home until around 5:30pm.  The Ex even left a voicemail in 2010 saying that Husband had told her the kids get home at 5:30pm.  But now magically, Husband...

Must be awfully icy in Hell right now.

   Son & Girlfriend recently had a party for Granddaughter's second birthday.  Girlfriend created a Facebook event and invited all of their guests.  The Ex never responded one way or the other; given that Grandson is 3 years old and The Ex has attended his very first birthday party but not the others, I didn't know if she was going to attend or not.   About 2 weeks before the party, The Ex had planned a couples' weekend and invited her best friend, the best friend's boyfriend, and also Daughter and her new boyfriend.  The friend ended up backing out but Daughter and her boyfriend went.  Daughter said she also pre-warned her boyfriend that Ned is extremely awkward, that he had a staring problem, and that he's a terrible driver; her boyfriend later told her that he thought she was kidding about all of it but she was, in fact, warning him about the truth.  Apparently, Ned will just stare right at you and not say a single word; if you look back at...
