Was home sick again today, but started feeling better some time before noon. W called to "check" on me. When she found I was not at work, she asked to leave S7 with me so she could go to her office this afternoon. I agreed after a moment's hesitation -- hesitation for thinking what might really be going on.
And then later she asks if she can also drop S3 off at my place so he can take his nap here as well. Hmmm, gets more and more curious.
I'm still wondering why her Mary Poppins-calibre, oh-so-child-loving mother was not interested in caring for our two S's instead of exposing them to their father who's recovering from a nasty sickness. Moreover with W's aunt/MIL's sister visiting, I could not understand why the both of these paragons of motherly virtue were not protesting their losing the chance to spend time with our darling S's.
Whatever. W prattled on about some nonsense about having to go into the office to learn some new timesheet. I wish she would cease trying to come up with these excuses. She's shown nothing but hatred for me personally and utter contempt for my parenting skills. So why the pretense of giving me excuses and playing nice, when she's just wanting to use me for her own selfish interests now and once that's done she'll quickly revert to her nasty hostile stance afterwards?
I guess I am a sucker in her eyes, since I have almost never refused any additional time with my children. And yet it just flabbergasts me that she knows I have been sick, and any other time she'd be trying to say she wouldn't want to expose them to my germs. She's a nurse, and a very anal-retentive, hyper-sensitive-to-germs paranoid type at that, and has chastised me in the past for taking our S's to venues where they have been exposed to and contracted the latest contagion. So, now she has no qualms about dumping them off onto someone she thinks of as an irresponsible temporary child caregiver, husband or not, who just came off of a feverous cold?
It really makes me wonder about her. Obviously she's all too ready to throw caution to the wind, hyper as it is, even for her own two sons. Of course, I can only think it must be that the OM is going to be there at the office too.
I don't really ever mind taking care of my S's -- I just don't like thinking W is trying to take unfair advantage of me, especially when she seems all to ready to stab me in the back with regards to our custody agreement.
The bottom line though is that if W is so gung-ho in leaving her children with someone she regards as irresponsible (I know its alien spew, but bear with me) and is potentially a contagious risk for her children's health, all to show up at the office supposedly and more likely to see the OM -- then I wonder what other risks she has taken that I should be concerned with.
Should I be concerned with getting a full STD panel? (It's been about 264 days now.) Or am I being paranoid now?
