It seems like my ex comes back to town nit picking at me. He got 6 days off to stay at his GF's without parenting responsibilities and comes back to have them for one night. I picked them up last night after working 12 hours to his phone call complaining that I shouldn't beep the horn when I pick them up. I CALLED ahead to have them ready and still had to wait. After a 12 hour shift the last thing I want to do is sit out in my car waiting!
So anywhooo, he called me and I hung up on him, he called again and I hung up. He called a THIRD time and I told him to stop calling or I'd have him brought up on harrassment charges. I took the phone off the hook and my daughter and I took the dog outside for some air. When I came back I put the phone back on the hook and noticed that he had left a voicemail. I deleted it!
I'm just so tired of him breezing in and out of town and taunting me with his holier than thou attitude. I'm broke again because OUR daughter needed more medication for her ear infection and it was very expensive, plus she has an unpaid balance on her doctor's bill which I had to make a payment on. He hasn't contributed one cent!!!!!!!!

Girl tell me about it. My ex has no real responsibility either and then when he does come every other weekend and then has the nerve to act as though I do nothing or dont even know how to properly dress our son. Today he asked for him and I nicely agreed, didnt have to but Im trying to show that Im willing to be fair, today isnt even his court appointed day and he still had to put me down about his clothes. I will just try to continue to take the high road and pray he gets it someday.
LOL, we can do it.
Fast foward 24 hours and I come home from work to find my daughter and her best friend sitting in front of the computer. She greets me with a request to have said friend spend the night at our house. I told her only if she put away the dishes in the dishwasher, which she immediately did! Interesting how catty little teenage girls are, plus she was PMS'ing.
As for the ex. He showed up late to pick them up Wednesday evening and had to be reminded that he's to pick them up Friday night as it's his weekend. Funny when he gets a day off during their spring break he doesn't spend it with them. He's not working today and spends it over at his GF's house with HER kids. What a loser. It just gets me when he is clearly not doing all he can, yet he can breeze in to town and dump all over me.
HUGS!! Ex's AND kids can be REALLY infuritating at times.
I'm glad your daughter calmed down a bit. They really don't realize how much we do for them, and how much it hurts when there's no appreciation. One day, our kids will realize what we've done for them....at least, I hope!
