It's All My Husband's Fault

  A little less than a month and half ago, The Ex filed her bogus motion asking the court to modify placement for Son but not for Daughter.  The judge reviewed it and sent it back to mediation.  Mediation is scheduled for Thursday.  A few weeks ago, The Ex was telling Son to talk to Husband and to say that he wants to live with The Ex; Son said he had told Husband and that Husband said he was "going to fight it in court and shit." ( Husband didn't say this.  All he said was that he and The Ex were going to court, which Son already knew. )  The Ex replied, "Seriously.  I'm ready.  Let him bring it on. R u?" ( Okay, so this isn't really about what's best for Son.  It's about you fighting with Husband.  Cool. )   Last night, The Ex and her mom dropped off Son and Daughter; we were at the neighbors' watching football, like we typically do on fall days.  Both of the kids came over and said hi to us, then went back home.  Abou...

  The Ex uploaded this picture to Facebook this afternoon:  She took a selfie with some friends and was laughing.  I covered her face just to keep stride with the anonymity of this blog, but it's not any better without the sticker.   So yeah, that right there is the woman who told Husband almost thirteen years ago that she was going to lose a bunch of weight and he would regret not coming back to her; I think it goes without saying that neither of those things happened.

  After Son's ordeal with Nice Girl this past weekend, ( Read it here if you haven't already. ) he shared a picture on Facebook that reads: "If you're judging someone based on who they used to be, obviously it's you who's stuck in the past."   Son is passive-aggressively stating to Nice Girl that if she doesn't want to date him, then it's her problem because she won't get over who he "used to be."  He fails to realize that he looks like a total idiot because he keeps saying, "I changed" and then does the same dumb ass stuff over and over again.   Of course, because she can't be bothered to check in with her kids on a regular basis and see how they are, The Ex had no idea that this was going on with Nice Girl.  She went on Facebook, saw this post, and commented: "Sooo true. Some people just want to make people look bad when there ( *their ) life has gotten sooo good...mom..."   What she is trying to hint at is ...

  Saturday afternoon, The Ex started texting Daughter asking what she thought was a good name for a male dog.  Daughter said she didn't know, and asked why The Ex was asking.  The Ex replied that she would just have to wait until Friday to see. ( The Ex loves playing this game.  It's not her weekend, so she does something to pique the kids' interest and try to make them want to come to her house right away. )  The Ex then sent a picture of a poodle puppy and asked Daughter if she liked the name "Blaze" for a dog.  Daughter said no.   Sunday night, Daughter called The Ex to ask if she had, in fact, gotten another dog.  ( I say "another dog" because Ned has a dog that's like, fifteen years and is blind; The Ex also has a dog that's five years old.  Additionally, The Ex's parents are still staying there while they "pay down their light bill" and they also have a dog that came from the same litter as The Ex's dog. ) The Ex said yes...

  At the end of last school year, Son liked this girl who we'll call Nice Girl.  Nice Girl was somewhat upfront and told Son that she wasn't interested in a relationship with anyone because she didn't want anything holding her back or keeping her in School City after graduation; she also added, "But that could change."  Son and Nice Girl went to prom with a bunch of friends, they danced together a few times, and Son thought it was going to turn into something.  A few days after prom, Nice Girl more or less friend-zoned him and just reiterated that she wasn't looking for a serious relationship.  Son was sad but he got over it.   Now Son and Nice Girl have been flirting again.  Nice Girl told Son he should come to more of her games because she "usually plays better when there's hot guys there."  Nice Girl asked Son if he wanted to go to homecoming with her and he said yes.  Nice Girl told one of their friends that she wanted Son to ask her in...

  Okay, so after The Ex posted pictures of Daughter's underwear online ( You can read about it here . ), Daughter decided to get some revenge.  Daughter laid a pair of The Ex's underwear on the bathroom counter, took a picture, uploaded it to Facebook, and wrote "Pay back is a bitch aye mom😂 Next time put your panties away😂"  Daughter also tagged The Ex, two of The Ex's sisters, The Ex's mom and dad, The Ex's cousin, The Ex's aunt and Ned.   The commentary that followed was...just weird. The Ex:  [Daughter first and last name]!!!! I wiped my ass with those and you touched them...eeewww ( ....why in the actual hell would you wipe your ass with your underwear?!  The only thing I can figure is that The Ex was trying to hide her embarrassment so she wrote something that sounded funny without actually thinking about what she was saying. ) The Ex:  When you clean your hands get those tire marks out would you ( You just told everyone on the internet th...

  This past weekend, Son and Daughter were supposed to go to The Ex's.  Friday afternoon around 3pm, Son messaged The Ex on Facebook and asked if she could pick him up on Saturday instead.  The Ex didn't answer, so Son called her and they talked for just under 2 minutes.  Son then messaged me and asked if he could drive himself to The Ex's on Saturday and if not, he'd just stay here this weekend. ( We had this conversation four months ago as to why Son would not be taking his vehicle to The Ex's house. You can read it  here . )   Son then messaged her and said he guessed he was staying here.  The Ex then decided that she would reply: "I can't pick you up tomorrow.  I work until 5pm and [Ned] has his party tomorrow. ( Ned and his friend have thrown a joint party for like, fourteen years now.  You can read about last year's party  here and here . ) R u driving up then? ( Uh, no.  You told him that he "didn't need his license," re...
