Hey Nikki, hope you're feeling better. Thanks for stopping in. My thoughts and plans were for her to work out the changes to the kids being with her, I followed thru on that for a week and finally gave in, not to please her tho', for the kids. They were getting more and more miserable as time went on. I made her make the decision about them coming back and it was supposed to be predicated on her paying for the tickets and she talked about how "she'd given them $1000 already so $500 to send them back was cheaper than that..." or something to that effect, almost like it'd be cheaper for her to pay to send them back then to keep giving them money.
Also her talking about how they should just come back here and that they were bored down there is a big change for all her previous talk about S13 spending the whole summer with her and moving down there with her and going to school there next year. All that talk seems long gone. My wife was also trying to repeatedly push S13 into be friends with my wife's new BFF's son who is the same age. I didn't hear of them doing anything together in the last 2 weeks and before she kept talking about how she was going to take S13 to see him and how her BFF loves S13, she was even trying to get S13 to txt msg the kid to push him to build a friendship. S13 doesn't seem to want any of that so he does little to nothing to foster a friendship with the kid, my wife is the one that wants him to have it, not him.
Wife sent me a txt msg about 10:30pm her time with "nite" and I replied with "Goodnight [wife's name]." I had thought about sending her a goodnight txt msg, but resisted and it was nice that she stepped up and sent one eventually. I'm kind of disappointed about the fact odds are that I won't be around my wife for our anniversary, I had offered to take her to a baseball game and she acted like she'd see if she could go, now it seems like all a moot point. I'll have to figure out if I'm going to send a card to her now instead and pick one out and mail it to her.
