Here we go again.
A couple of weeks ago, Daughter told me that The Ex messaged her out of nowhere, asking her if she would take care of The Ex's kids if anything happened to The Ex. (This happened two years ago. The Ex and Ned were taking a trip somewhere and The Ex got it into her head that she might die while on the trip. You can read about it here under the third "September 2019" paragraph.) Daughter again told The Ex that she would, of course, take care of her siblings. Daughter then asked The Ex what was wrong.
The Ex launched into a whiny rant about how she was so incredibly sick, she didn't know what was going on, she's never been this sick in her entire life, the doctors were running tests and tested her for COVID again, blah blah blah. (I don't know if I mentioned it previously but this past January, a whole bunch of them tested positive for COVID - The Ex, Ned, both of The Ex's parents, and I believe at least one or two other family members. The Ex and Ned followed quarantine protocol for their own diagnoses, but went over to The Ex's parents' house before The Ex's youngest kids were done with their quarantine so it was kind of pointless. Girlfriend also told me that The Ex had invited her and Son over with the grandkids knowing she had COVID but she didn't tell them; they found out prior to going over and confronted her about it. The Ex excused her behavior with, "Well, I didn't really feel sick the day I asked you to come over.") And if her whiny montage about her own "illness" wasn't enough, The Ex also threw in that she "was ready to kill [Daughter's] fucking dogs" because they wouldn't stop barking. (I didn't say it to Daughter, but these dogs are assholes because that's how The Ex has raised them. Her first dog with Boyfriend was an asshole that barked at people, jumped/clawed at them, and scratched their vehicles; her second dog with Ned is also an asshole who, according to Daughter, "barks at every little noise" which has led to The Ex's first dog also barking at every little noise.)
I did make one petty comment to Daughter about The Ex and her "illness" by simply asking, "Is this like the time she told you she 'might have stomach cancer' but didn't?" Daughter just rolled her eyes at her mother's stupidity and said she didn't know.
I seriously do not understand how or why The Ex thinks that her children are Daughter's responsibility in any way, shape, or form. I wondered out loud why The Ex's parents couldn't take care of them and my dad asked, "Or, why can't [Ned] take care of them? Since 'he's their daddy,' why wouldn't he be able to raise them? Why is this [Daughter's] responsibility?"
The last time this happened, The Ex told Daughter that she couldn't leave Ned to raise the kids because she didn't trust Lucifer to be around them...but Lucifer isn't around anymore, soooo?
That woman will never make sense to me.
