My ex sent me another zinger of an email with the old problem of me making my son take the bus to school rather than me driving him. He basically said that I have to drive my son to school because it's midterms this week and he needs to get there early to study!! I was livid that he had the nerve to order me around like that. I can't leave my 8 year-old at the school before 7:20 so if I take him after that then we'll make it there AFTER the bus does!
My son started in on me about it last night and I explained to him that it's not right for him and his father to tell me what I'm going to do and not going to do and that it's a slap in the face to me that he thinks it's selfish of me after all the things I do for him. On my weekends I take that boy everywhere he wants to go, and I dropped him off at the movies the other day and went shopping while he went and I helped him buy his new guitar.
I addressed the issue with my son and did NOT reply by email or phone to my ex. The heck with him, I'm going to ignore him. I'm fed up with him inventing problems to complain about.

"needs to get there early to study"??????

The new problem that is now happening is that he's showing up late to pick them up, the deal was 8:00 and lately it's been 8:30 or after. I panick because he's pulled a no-show before which meant I had to find back-up so I could go to work the next day.
I think to solve the problem I'm going to start dropping off at his place at 8:00 and leave my 15-year-old in charge if he's not there. That way he HAS to get his a$$ home on time.
Life has been much more peaceful since I decided to cut off contact with him and stick to the basics with no fights.
