Time sure flies when you're unhappy.
Daughter had told us a few weeks ago that The Ex had planned a family trip for this past weekend. Daughter said they were going to go hiking and see waterfalls. (If you don't remember, Ned took The Ex on what she referred to as a "waterfalling" trip in November 2016. Now they've decided to go again and this time felt it was important enough to include the kids. You can read about the original trip here and here.) Daughter said their whole family was going, including Son and Girlfriend. (I don't think Lucifer was included, which shouldn't surprise me but whatever.)
Daughter mentioned one day that she needed to bring money for this family trip that The Ex had planned because The Ex had told her that "they were going to be eating out at a lot of restaurants, and they couldn't be buying all of her meals." (I asked Son and Girlfriend earlier this year if they wanted to go out-of-state to visit Husband's family; I said I'd buy their plane tickets and everything. Son really wanted to but he wasn't able to get off of work. Yet, The Ex is such a piece of shit that she plans a "family vacation" and then tells her 17-year-old daughter that she's expected to buy her own food.) I told Daughter that it was a family trip and she was still a minor; there was absolutely no reason that Daughter should be paying for herself to eat. (I could see making Daughter pay for her own souvenirs or something for that nature...but food??? It's kind of a necessity.) Daughter also commented something about, "Well, Mom paid for the hotel room..." and I even think she may have alluded to The Ex hinting/saying that Daughter needed to repay her for a portion of it. (I literally will never understand this woman. This same stupid bitch told Son after he'd got his license that Husband and I ought to be giving him gas money or paying for his car insurance because that's what her dad did when she was that age. But she plans one vacation that actually included her kids for the first time in I-don't-know-how-many-years and suddenly, they need to start forking over cash for a trip that she arranged?!) We made a joke that Daughter ought to take $100 out from the bank but only tell The Ex that she brought $20. My dad felt bad and gave Daughter $20 for the trip and told her that it wasn't right for The Ex to expect her to pay for herself. I thought about giving her money, but we're going to visit Husband's family next month and we'll be paying for Daughter at that time; it is not my responsibility to fund her vacation with The Ex.
Son is in-between jobs right now, which is a huge long story but not the purpose of this blog. With him being out of work over the last few weeks, I wondered to myself if he and Girlfriend were actually going to go on this trip. If The Ex expected 17-year-old Daughter to pay for her own meals and contribute to the boarding, then surely she'd expect 19-year-old Son and 18-year-old Girlfriend to pay for their meals and boarding as well, right? If that's expected of them, how are they going to afford it with Son being out of work? And if they were going, were they going to bring the baby? Because I can think of about four million other things I'd like to do before I ever reach the point on my bucket list that reads, "Go hiking with a 15-month old child." As it turns out, Son and Girlfriend did not go on this trip, so all of my speculation was pointless (As it typically is, but I have a vivid imagination and an overactive mind so leave me alone...LOL).
But the whole reason for this blog post is because yesterday, The Ex decided to share a Facebook memory from that date in 2016 and once again immersed us in her stupidity. I have plenty to comment so I'm going to wait until I'm done quoting the idiot:
"It's been 5 years [Ned first & last name], and even though we have had our ups and downs and many more I'm sure... I still Love You❤️ You are My Everything and more... I'm so happy my kids love you and you are great with them!!!
Our 5 year Anniversary this last weekend was so memorable and brought back to many wonderful memories from our 1st year Waterfall hiking!!! The kids loved it🥰 Can't wait to make more memories with you Sweetie 💋"
So I've already discussed how The Ex just tacks on "and more" without ever having to actually go into any depth about the topic she's pretending to discuss. Also, the phrase "everything and more" seems redundant, does it not? If he is "everything," then how can he be "more"? Doesn't "everything" encompass each imaginable thing? This is basically like writing "You are my everything and everything." It's just nonsensical.
Next, the comment about her kids loving him and him being great with them. Son seems to like Ned okay and does get along with him. I know when he was still being an angsty teen, Daughter told me that he and The Ex got into an argument and he screamed at her that he didn't want Ned trying to act like a father to him; Son has matured quite a bit since then, which I can personally attest to. Daughter seems to be better with Ned than she was years ago but last year, she still had objections to them getting married; I don't know if that was exclusively because of Ned, or if she just knew that The Ex has too many self-issues to work on before she should have been jumping into yet another marriage. The Ex's two younger kids seem to like him which is understandable; their own father is completely removed from their lives and Ned is their father figure. I still don't understand what Daughter told me a few years ago, that The Ex's younger daughter "wants Ned to adopt her, but wants to keep Boyfriend's last name." Whatever, moving on...
Third and probably the least relevant is the comment about their "1st year Waterfall hiking." I...do not know what that is supposed to mean. I don't know if she means the first trip that they took when they went waterfall hiking, or if she means when they went waterfall hiking the first year that they were together. The first "waterfall hiking" trip that then went on happened when they'd been together nearly a year and a half, not their first year together. And to my knowledge, they haven't gone "waterfall hiking" since then. But okay.
And finally, my favorite part. The Ex and Ned just celebrated 5 years since they started dating; The Ex was still seeing New Guy when she started dating Ned, and she's legally been divorced for only 3 years. But according to her, I'm a whore.
