Was that a speedbump or a milestone?

[sleeper]

Last night while picking up kids at X's (we're flipflopping during Xmas break) she requested that I take one of the two dogs she has to my mother's because it's not as well behaved as the other dog. I said no. She then asked if I rent a house with a yard would I take it. OM was in kitchen and I just pointed to the kitchen and asked, "Doesn't his house have a yard? Why can't he take it?" She didn't answer but made a face in response. She keeps his TWO cats in her house even though she is allergic.

X refused to keep kids last night even though htere were mantainence problems at my apt using her "I don't get vactions like you" litany again. She must have felt a little guilty about that as later she said, "I don't mean to be a b#tch" referring to herself. I'm getting tired of that and the next time she complains about no vacations I'll respond that she chose her career and I don't have a big house like her or a new vehicle.

She also mentioned how tired she is and the next time I hear that I'll tell her it's just because she is getting old and she better get used to it as it won't get any better.

Definately milestone.
