Just spoke to H. He needed me to refax papers (to the office in the town where OW lives) regarding our sale of investment property.
I probably didn't do good DBing but this is the jest of our convo.
I asked H if he had plans to do anything with S15 this weekend (he didn't do anything with S15 last weekend). He said No. I said I thought you needed to fix the boat so you and S15 could go on your fishing trip for his birthday. H got defensive and said he's tried and tried to get with S15 about fixing the boat and that H was going to take it to a shop for them to fix. I then said Ok, I know it's been some time since S15 has seen your mom and I'm sure he'd like to see her. Maybe you could take him this weekend to see her. (H is supposed to be staying with her when he's not at OW's.) To which H replied (not as defensive) that that wasn't in his plans right now for this weekend and could I please fax the papers to him. A/K/A I'm spending the weekend with OW and her kids working on her home and I don't have time for my S's.
I did maintain a pleasant voice. Maybe too pleasant.
