STBXW: Oh, I'm taking D17.9 to her hair appt at 1 pm today and I wanted to come over earlier and print some more of my business cards and brochures if that's ok with you. (Note: Last night D17.9 asked me to take her to the appt.)
Me: That's ok with me.
STBXW: Are you sure, I'll be in your space then?
Me: (chuckling) It's ok for you to be in my space.
STBXW: Ok. Also, D13's Anime drawing class starts tonight. If you want I can take her there and pick her up (6:30 - 7:30, and of course I was prepared to take her)
Me: That would be nice, why don't you do that then.
STBXW: Ok then I'll come by and pick her up.
Me: Ok, great. Bye.
She comes by and prints her stuff. As always she messes up the 'which way to turn over the brochure to print the second side'. I end up helping her. At one point we're standing staring at the printer waiting while it is 'warming up'. She doesn't look at me. So I look at her and say "Isn't this exciting watching the printer warm up!". She still doesn't look at me. Then I make another joke and she finally looks at me and smiles but looks away quickly.
Then she gets a call on her cell, and a few minutes later says she got a massage scheduled for 5 pm and could I drop off D13 to her class and she will pick her up. I said that would be fine and she says she could use the money. I agreed that money is 'good'.
It's nice that she offers to drive the girls to appointments because she knows that it takes time out of my workday. I know that is her primary motivation, she feels guilty I have to do everything.
During the entire exchange I felt very uncomfortable but 'faked it'.
