It's All My Husband's Fault

   With today being the end of 2021, I believe/hope/pray that this is the last incident of Holiday Crazy 2021 that we'll have to talk about.   Girlfriend messaged me on Christmas Eve saying she was hurt/upset because she was putting everyone's stockings together when Son walked in and commented that next year, they ought to buy more gifts because The Ex "goes nuts on Christmas and gets a lot of presents."  Girlfriend was upset because she's the one who had gone out shopping and bought everything; she felt like Son was insulting her and/or comparing her to The Ex.  I told Girlfriend that it's all about money with The Ex; I said it's not about what you bought or how much you spent, that's not the reason we have Christmas.  I also told her that Son was probably more comparing himself as a parent to The Ex more than comparing her to The Ex.  I said Son probably feels like he's "failing" because he "didn't do as much as The Ex did....

 She's back at it again, y'all.   Girlfriend messaged me last night super pissed at The Ex because she's starting crap about Christmas.  She sent me a bunch of screenshots of the conversations, told me that The Ex has brought up Christmas Day about 3 different times even though Girlfriend has already told The Ex what their plans were, and now The Ex is using her narcissistic manipulation to turn Son and Girlfriend against each other.   Despite having already previously asked and being provided an answer, The Ex messaged both Son and Girlfriend in a group chat last night.  Here's a transcript:      The Ex:  Can you [Son] and kids be at our house on Saturday at 10:30am      Girlfriend:  Tbh I'm not sure we can try to be but we're also having our Christmas here first ( Girlfriend said that The Ex asked a few months ago and asked again last week; Girlfriend told her both times that she and Son wanted to celebrate with their ki...

   Short blog post, but long enough to increase your disdain for The Ex.   If you haven't read through the events of this year's Holiday Crazy that have already taken place, you can read those here and here .  As if there hasn't already been enough nonsense from her, The Ex has continued on her rampage; we're still 2 1/2 weeks away from Christmas so I'd be shocked if this was the end of it.   After The Ex had told Daughter that she and Ned wanted gifts that were anywhere from $120-200 each, which Daughter told The Ex that she is refusing to buy, Daughter told us the other night that The Ex texted her saying that her youngest son wants a toy for Christmas.  I guess the kid is really into Pacific Rim and there's some character/animal action figure that The Ex said he wants.   I looked it up on Amazon.  The listing says this particular item is for "adult collectors" ( So, it's not really a toy.  It's a collectible action figure and not meant fo...

   Daughter said the other day that when she and Guy will go up to Tiny City, The Ex will go to take a shower but leaves the bathroom door open.  Not just unlocked, but open.  Daughter said that The Ex will then get out of the shower stark-ass naked, while the door is still open, knowing good and full well that Guy is in the house.   Excuse me while I go drink bleach to try and get that image erased from my mind.
