W called at 5 pm while I was at the gym and my phone was in the car, so I didn't answer it. On her message, she told me that D had received two identical Barbie dolls, so we have a present for the party D's going to w/ me next weekend already. W did not address my calling at the usual 7:30 time like we discussed she would if there was going to be a conflict later b/c they were going out to dinner. Thus, I assumed that I was ok to call as I always do.
I called at 7:30 as usual but W didn't answer the phone. I left a message for D to have a good night and that I loved her, but also asked for her to call me so we could talk briefly. As is the case sometimes, W didn't have D call back, so another night goes by where I'm unable to tell my child good night or that I love her.
It is sad and unfortunate that W uses D to get to me. She doesn't know I'm disappointed and I won't let her know, but the fact she's doing it is wrong. My poor little angel. I'm sure she had a terrific day and I can't wait to see her tomorrow at 9 am.
