It's All My Husband's Fault

  After not logging into 2houses for 10 straight days, The Ex decided that she needed something and sent Husband this message on Sunday night: "Can we please switch the weekend of September 8th with September 15th? Please let me know" ( It always makes me giggle when she uses the same words over and over, like she did here . )   Unfortunately for The Ex, we planned a family outing on the weekend of September 15th.  I literally made the reservations four days before she sent this email.  It was hard enough to schedule and book what we have planned around sports schedules, school, and shared placement.  Quite honestly, I don't want to spend the time and energy trying to reschedule the entire thing just to make it more beneficial to a single person who isn't even a part of my family.   Husband replied and said we already have plans, we cannot switch the weekends and said he was sorry.   Fifteen minutes later: "How about the weekend of October 27th...

  Not even two weeks ago, Husband and I confronted Son about his lying. ( This was when we took away all of his bonus things, like a phone and a car and a TV. ) Instead of being mature and owning up to what he had done, Son literally looked Husband directly in the eye and lied about lying; he must have thought we didn't know the truth and if he kept lying, he'd weasel his way out of it.  We actually saw the flash in his eye when he realized he was caught and there was no getting out of it.   As that's been explained, Husband and I couldn't stop giggling to ourselves last night because Son posted this to Facebook: "Now I know what it feels like when people lie straight to your face"   Maybe I shouldn't laugh...but I just can't help it  😂

  Daughter has complained before that The Ex nags them about "spending time with her" but when they're in Tiny City, The Ex is spending all of her time with Ned ( Just like she did ten years ago when she had custody; she'd leave the kids with her parents and run off with Boyfriend for who knows how long and her parents got tired of it. )  A few weeks ago, Son had wanted to go to a water park with his girlfriend.  While Son was gone, The Ex called him and left this voicemail at 3:19pm: "[Son], I just drove by, twice now in the last hour. ( I'm assuming she was saying she had driven past his girlfriend's house. )  And....both those vehicles are there!  Are you at [name of water park], or what?! ( The Ex is now accusing Son of lying to her about where he is.  Which I suppose isn't that hard to believe considering Son's behavior lately, particularly when he's with The Ex. )  I guess I'm to the point where I'm starting to get upset.
