But yes, at least he acknowledges he was wrong.
Hold the phone.
True - & i dont know how sorry he is. but i THINK he has at least some regret, or embarassment, when he acts like that. Either way, the only TRUE way to show he is sorry, is to freaking STOP ... but Im not counting on that anytime soon!
(btw - i didnt even acknowledge the text, which Im sure, drove him crazy. As the psyc pointed out in the past, he looks for ways to engage me - DUH! - lol - just to have contact w/ me. So unless its important & related to dd, I dont respond)
(the doc then pointed out "But M, YOU have no issue changing it when YOU have someohting to do ...") & then after that, he agreed to be more flexible.
How I wish someone, ANYONE, besides me would point this out to PsychoBoy. And the crazy making behavior, boy o boy do I get that. Please take him on the Cuba trip LOL! Could you imagine what that plane ride conversation would be like?
With S17's activities PsychoBoy has grudgingly taken on his responsibility of getting him to the existing activities, although he does gripe if an activity falls on his time more often than mine. Heck, he even paid for the regional Jazz program this year. I don't know if it is progress on PB's part or S17 has gotten better at manipulating him. With D4 I don't schedule activities for his time. This will become harder over time, particularly looking forward at how dance is scheduled. Then I foresee a big hairy battle, even if I volunteer to pay for it all. Almost makes it not worth having D4 even do the activity. I absolutely hate all that drama.
QB
Oh QB, although I dont have a PB like you do, I totally DREAD when kids have activities on his time - and avoid as much as possible, a little difficult when their lives are here and 2 of 3 are teens and the other is more into activities than the others plus
mom_uk2socal - Mom to DS22, DS19, DD16
Although our exs are vastly different - I do have a strategy that works for those activities. It is quite simple - and he bites.
"You get to take him to.... I thought that would be fun for you and DS says he would love it if he got to go with you."
I now have him driving and picking up from school and all activities that fall on his days.
It is like a benefit really.
But I don't know how you would be with this with PB - I know that is a different animal - but that could be worth a try?
