Just got a phone call from the wife. She wanted to come over and spend time with my daughter. I told her we were on the way out the door to go feed the birds and see a movie. She said well, when am I going to get to spend some time with her? I said, actually this is first time that I can remember that you have tried. She said well, I was trying to give her space. Ok, what do you want? She said I want to have her every weekend. I said no, that's not fair, that's the only quality time there is. You can have her every other weekend. She said well, you have her through the week. I said, I know, I take care of her through the week and there is little quality time with work and school. She said, you can't keep my D from me. I said, I haven't tried to. If you want to see D, then all you have to do is talk to me. She said you don't have custody. I said, are you threatening me, seriously? She said no. I said, ok, look, if you want to spend time w/ D then let me know. I haven't tried to keep her from you. I said, is this the way it's going to be? Are you going to start being nasty with me? Cause I'm not going to have a conversation w/ you if you think you're going to talk with me that way. She backpedaled very quickly and asked how she was being nasty. She then asked if I would give her a call later after we got home so that she could come over and spend time w/ D. Sure, no problem.
Whew--tried to set a boundry. Not sure how successful I was.
