I go and pick up the kids. I ask them if their Mother came and saw them today. They said no. MIL chimes in and says she called them three times. I said I don't care Mother this is not typical behavior of you daughter. She wouldn't go without seeing them for the day. Never ever.
She almost cries.
I played with my God daughter. She is such a joy. Walking now.
I also found a very nice present for SIL she collects nativities. This one was a rock that was carved nativity scene made by Currah. They were raving over it.
I also go to talk to Dad. We had some small talk. I also said you know Dad what makes me feel better is the fact that you have (wifename) and my wedding picture on your piano.
I said Dad I need a favor from you. When the kids are down her and staying over have them call me at 10 or something. Because I'm not initiating contact with your daughter. She doesn't want to talk to me, so I'm not going to call her. She can hit a brick wall. I'm tired of getting my feeling hurt wondering where my kids are. Please have them call me if she isn't here and the kids are staying over. I said I'm not contacting her, she doesn't even go to Church anymore.
He didn't say he would. He also didn't say anything about her not going to Church. He was my sponsor when I got confirmed. Why in the heck is this not settling in with him.
Yes I know blood thicker than water. Right, I don't know what the heck she said to them to make me look like the evil one.
We had some other small talk because he changed the subject. I followed. He wanted me to eat, but I'm not hungry and said I was going home to make steaks.
I thought it was enough time of the kids playing, and me acting like a fifth wheel. I also got this one chimed in some how.
I said Dad that reminds me of Proverbs 21:19 It is better to be in the wilderness then to be with a quarellsome and vexatious wife.
