I took my S12 back to the east coast for a 3 city tour and some baseball games. It was a great trip, but we are worn out. My D9 stayed with W all weekend. I think she feels a little left out. She will get her opportunity to travel with her dad too.
I did received a txt from W while we were gone in regards to our trip and a token 'are you guys having fun?' I only replied with time details, etc, and nothing about our experiences. I felt put off by the text.
One of her complaints to a friend of mine was that she wanted to travel more. It seems she will be able to do less of this now that she's by herself. Wonder if she's noticed how much travelling I have been doing with the kids. She never mentions anything.
So today, my d9 called immediately this morning to have me take her down to school. I went over to pick her up at W house. W came outside, but was focused on D9, wouldnt look at me, nor hardly have a conversation at all. It's impossible to say something nice to someone that ignores you. She asked when I was bringing her back...she then replied that she had a ton of work to do and all I said was 'thats what I figured'...she got really defensive about it. Its her normal act to push her kids off onto others for her own benefit. She does it all the time. Thus, I'm sure she encouraged my daughter to call me up so I could take her down to meet her teacher. I think D9 loved it, but I doubt W would let me do it if she wasnt busy. She has always said she 'did everything' for the kids, which isnt true.
I just dont understand how she cannot even look at me, be so cold, etc. Drives me nuts. Her choice is obviously bothering the kids, but her mantra has always been 'the kids will be fine'...when they are not.
