So BM hands-off my kids to me Friday night and she planned for them to spend Saturday night at their aunt's house, you know, so they could spend time with their cousin. Besides which, she has something she wants to volunteer for on Sunday morning. So, really, what she wants to do is dump the kids off, because their cousin - wait for it - wait for it - is four years old. BS and BD are 11 and 9 respectively. Can we please be serious? She just wanted to put the kids somewhere so that she wouldn't have to take them with on Sunday. This, at face value, is fine. I've had things come up and have asked her if she wanted to change plans. What she ignored, which is in the divorce contract, is the right of first refusal.

Let's pile on more...shall we? My son tells me he's been dealing with pressure in his left ear for two days. My son is prone to ear infections. If he gets sick, I watch for an ear infection. Period. But not a single word from BM. My son, later on looks at me and says "Hey Dad, check this out..." and proceeds to push his stomach out and open the snap on his jeans which are also too short. All the CS and she can't buy him new jeans that fit?

Another favorite - my daughter relating a story about her b-day party and who she's going to invite. She asked a friend what her favorite food was. Instant Ramen Noodle Soup was mentioned and my daughter says "Oh that would probably work. We eat that all the time." My fiance was nearly apoplectic.

So I started sending her text messages asking her what was going on with BS. Lo and behold! He told her, but she didn't do a thing about it and didn't tell me a word. So I told her I'll take him to the clinic. After much back and forth, I kept the kids for a long weekend instead of just over Friday night. The nurse at the clinic mentioned a remedy the next day and imagine the miracles! My son's ear started cleaning up!

I was beyond pissed with this woman. I was so exasperated that I just asked what she expected to happen out of all this? I almost didn't have the energy to be pissed.
