Holiday Crazy 2019.
It's that time of year again. I previously blogged a summarization of the past years of Holiday Crazy which you can read here. And now, here we are again.
About three and a half weeks ago, The Ex created a group chat and added all four of her siblings, both of her parents, her sister-in-law, Son, Girlfriend, Daughter, her nephews and her niece; not a single person from Ned's family was added to this group chat, including Ned himself. The Ex sent a message to everyone saying, "Created this site to find out WHO is wanting to get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas AND WHERE??? SOON...VERY SOON" (She's using Facebook Messenger; she thinks she created a website. This is awesome.) The Ex also wrote, "I really want to be able this year and every year from now on to have our whole family together. It means a lot to me if we can do this. Even if it's not on THAT DAY... I'll have to check [Daughter's] schedule to see if I have her. Please let's start planning on a date." (Setting aside her completely butchering the formation of simple English sentences, The Ex apparently still does not realize that she and Husband signed a stipulation in February 2014 giving her visitation and physical custody for every single Thanksgiving break. Granted, Daughter has had practices and games which conflict with it but she's still supposed to have her on Thanksgiving, even if it's only for one day. You shouldn't have to "check her schedule" to know when you're supposed to have her when it hasn't changed for the last five years.)
The Ex also said, "So, I know every year around this time, I always ask, who's coming for Christmas???? This year it's important to have my family here. Can we please schedule it around [Daughter]...this is the last year" (Daughter replied that she said she was still going to be around after she graduated.)
The Ex went on to ask where they were going to have Thanksgiving and said Ned was willing to cook regardless of location. After a lot of babbling by everyone about Christmas gifts and games to play and whatever else, The Ex said they could celebrate the Saturday after Thanksgiving. (Okay, so they're planning on the 30th. That works. The Ex would have Daughter, there are no games/practices scheduled that day, everything looks good.) The Ex then said, "Someone would have to help do most if not ALL of the cooking..." and said that Ned works late on Saturdays. (The Ex announces that someone else is going to do the majority of the cooking...after she had just said Ned was okay with cooking.) The Ex's sister suggested that everyone bring a dish to pass so that the burden wasn't all on one person.
Four days after creating her "site," The Ex announced to everyone that her daughter had a dance recital in exactly three days and asked them all to come to it, telling them they needed to buy tickets the next day or they wouldn't be able to go. (Oh, so Husband is not the only person that she does this to; she just assumes that every single person should always be waiting around for her to invite them somewhere. Good to know.) The Ex's oldest sister asked if they were for sure doing Thanksgiving on the 30th and asked what time. The Ex then said, "About Thanksgiving...I have the weekend OFF, BEFORE Thanksgiving... So if we want to get together then? [Ned] still will work until 2pm. But we can get together earlier and have fun" (They originally planned on a weekend that The Ex would have had Daughter, but now The Ex wants to change their family dinner to a day when she doesn't have Daughter. And by "have fun," she means "get drunk.") The Ex's sister said if they did it that weekend, two of her sons weren't going to come because they'd be hunting; one of The Ex's nephews said he'd be working that weekend also. They all continued talking about random things. Then another of The Ex's sisters said she couldn't do the 23rd either because she had plans. They asked what she was doing; she said that she was going to dinner and a movie with their cousin for her birthday. The Ex said, "Change your plans...we come first. 2 BAD. Plus, her bday is long past." (The day that she sent this was her cousin's birthday which was "long past." I also find it hilarious that The Ex is demanding that her sister change her plans with their cousin yet hypocritically tells Husband that "Family comes first" when she's not getting her way.)
The Ex then said she wanted to talk about Christmas. Her sister asked when Christmas was this year; another sister said it was on a Wednesday. The Ex replied, "Well Ass Hole Ugly (Husband) takes [Daughter] back on the 26th" (Girlfriend screenshot this and sent it to me. I said I thought it was hilarious that The Ex always calls Husband "Ugly" but would say that Son is handsome, yet they're basically twins. Girlfriend replied, "[Son] just said she used to call him 'fuck head' because he looked like his dad." This woman is just garbage, honestly...) They continued to plan for Christmas when The Ex said, "I want to do the girl on girl gift. And boy on boy gift." (Omfg, that is so far away from what she was trying to say. Then again, The Ex did sleep with her first cousin that she's related to by blood, sooo...maybe she wasn't wrong.)
As everyone was wrapping up the conversation for the evening, The Ex again brought up her daughter's dance recital and that the tickets needed to be purchased the following day. (The Ex told Daughter over the phone that her daughter was a back-up dancer; she said she was pissed because she had spent "all of this money" and her daughter may not even be out on the stage. Yet here's The Ex, telling everybody to buy tickets and come watch her daughter maybe-perform.)
More conversation took place here and there. Then, The Ex's sister announced that she had to work on the 23rd and wanted to know if they could move Thanksgiving to the 24th instead. They all agreed to do this. Daughter said she missed everyone and wished she could be there.
Sunday night, Daughter told Husband that The Ex's family was celebrating Thanksgiving on the 24th and that The Ex had said, "I wonder if your dad will let you come..." Husband said that he hadn't heard from her about it. Last night, I asked Daughter if she was staying here for Thanksgiving since she was going to have practice on both Wednesday and Friday; she said that she didn't know but told me that The Ex wanted her to come up this weekend so that they could do Thanksgiving together. I pointed out that if The Ex and Husband just switched weekends, then Daughter could be there for both families' Thanksgiving dinners.
Daughter calls The Ex while she, Husband, and I are all in the living room. Daughter says they could just switch weekends, but she needs to know because she's supposed to work on Sunday so if they switch, Daughter needs to find someone to cover her shift. Daughter tells The Ex to email Husband. We overhear The Ex say, "Why can't I just talk to the asshole? Why do I have to email him?" Daughter looks at Husband and says, "Dad, do you want to talk to Mom?" Husband shook his head no. Daughter told The Ex, "He's busy, just email him." We again overhear The Ex say, "I don't know how to use the site..." (Oh for the love of Pete....Husband signed up for 2houses literally five years ago. This is not that complicated.)
Well, The Ex must have remembered "how to use the site" because a few minutes after she hung up with Daughter, Husband got an email:
"Do you think it would be possible to have [Daughter] this weekend? We are having our Family Thanksgiving this weekend. (Which you planned almost 3 weeks ago with no regard to our or Daughter's schedule. But yeah, sure...go ahead and pretend that it matters to you if Daughter is there.) No, I WOULDN'T change a weekend either... You owe me WAY TOO MANY" (I don't even have words to explain what is wrong with this woman. She has no regard for anyone other than herself at any given moment.)
Husband emailed her back and said she planned a family event and then gave him three days' notice that she wanted to change the schedule. Husband said he didn't owe her any weekends and didn't know why she kept saying that. Husband offered to switch this weekend for next weekend because Daughter has practice on Wednesday and Friday, so she'll have to be here those days whether they switched weekends or not. Husband said that if they switched, Daughter would have practice until 6pm this Friday and could be picked up after practice. Husband asked The Ex to let him know as soon as possible because Daughter was supposed to work on Sunday and would need to let her boss know if she needed someone to cover her shift. (Daughter's boss is one of my oldest friends; Daughter messaged her saying that her parents were switching weekends and asked if someone could cover her Sunday shift. So apparently, Daughter was planning on a switch all along and The Ex is the one who decided to start moving the goalposts by declaring that Husband owes her eighteen million weekends and that she's not going to switch with him ever because he's the worst person to ever exist in the history of mankind.)
And now, we wait.

(Setting aside her completely butchering the formation of simple English sentences, The Ex apparently still does not realize that she and Husband signed a stipulation in February 2014 giving her visitation and physical custody for every single Thanksgiving break.

And now, we wait.
