I don't know what's worse -- my W thinking she deserves a "parent of the year" award, mostly for leaving me. Or your W who is vying for "anti-parent of the year" award.
Yeah.. not sure what's going through her head. She is very foggy.
It's like a turtle.. she comes out of her shell for a few minutes then dives back in.
It's also the scenario I will 100% avoid. She's trying to sit on the fence again and I won't allow it.
It's coming up on time where she takes D5 to school.. I imagine she has to run home and get the backpack. Wonder if she got MIL to get something for D3's class. Probably not.. MIL would let her have it good for that.
Another yucky thought.. she has a kidney infection/UTI. Usually when she gets the UTI's, it's physical activity related.. you know what I mean. Evidently, this is worse. God forbid she ends up with an STD. Would serve her right though.
The reason I bring this up is I asked how that was going and she's nervous.. they are running more tests and she should get the results today. She was born WAY premature and had operations when she was little for her kidneys.
Anyway.. she specifically asked that I not tell her mom. I'm sure I know why.. mom will kill her for being "physical" more than likely without protection.
Goon... BTW.. did you all know that they are coming out with a Goonies 2? I hope they don't go cheesy and make it a repeat of the first!!
Goonies did rock!! Was just talking to my brother about that the other day!!
Nut.. yeah.. that's sick. Shows the lack of respect even for themselves. Idiots.
So.. W called.. I was busy, so I let it roll. She left a very short message about D3 having an accident at school and while she was at her place picking up the backpack, she got her some extra clothes and could I please make sure they made their way back to her.
She sounded angry.. like it's my fault she is thoughtless.
Of course it's your fault Jar...your life should revolve around making her life easier She seems very immature, almost like she views you as a father figure against whom she can rebel and from whom she can expect unconditional support. It has to be very frustrating for you.
Keep being the grown-up. Your kids will respect you for it and follow your example.
Thanks nut... it's funny you say that. Pretty much our whole marriage I kept hearing "Quit acting like my father"
Now at times I will admit I was acting like that.. mostly because she was acting like an immature little girl.
Then I'd get the "You don't treat me as an equal"
Lots of immaturity issues.
She's 26 with 2 kids.. what does it take to grow up?
Lots of things.. she's a quitter. This is easily the longest job she's ever held. She runs into problems and then quits. No different here. Until she realizes that she's the problem and addresses it, she's going to have a tough time with life.
I keep having that vision of Stuart Smalley.. "I'm going to do a terrific show today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!"
