This mornings beatings: 1) The kids and I woke up and were watching Horton Hears a Who before school. It is my week on the couch. I went upstairs to pick out clothes for S8. On the way down, XXX was on the way up...and reached over to grab his clothes out of my hand.
2) In dictatorial fashion, long outstretched arm and pointing to the stove: "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CLEAN UP THOSE POTS ON THE STOVE. THEY'RE FERMENTING. (well, I am guilty on this one...I had filled a pot with detergent to soak off the grease and they should have been cleaned already, but, wouldn't a "please clean those pots" have been nicer? ) FUHGEDDABOUDDIT.
I said nothing. There is nothing I can say or do that will have any type of a positive or constructive outcome.
Part of this is probably emanating from the trips we are taking the kids on. About two weeks ago, D5 started talking about our ski strip. XXX went nuts and booked a weekend trip to the Bahamas as if in competition. On the rec of my L, I typed up a letter listing both our itineraries and adding that the parents would have the kids call each parent once a day and any other time that they are missing the other parent. I also requested her to list an emergency contact number. The paper has yet to be signed and returned to me. I am taking the kids to Maine for a few days of skiing with my buddy "Anthony".
