I am still dealing with batchitt crazy every once in a while.
This morning was such a case. D7 wants her mom to take her to a special girl scout event this Friday which is also XW's weekend with the kids. So I had D7 call her mom to ask and she told her that Ed and her have plans with S9. So I got on the phone and asked what the plans were and she got very secretive. I finally found out that they really had no plans other than to maybe take him out to a fancy restaurant with herself and Ed. And XW says she does not like the girl scouts because they wear uniforms which is something she was forced to do growing up in Thailand. Ugggh! I thought to myself that maybe she does not like them also because they teach ethics and morals to young girls. She seems to have the attitude that since I started D7 in the girl scouts that I am the only parent that should participate. She feels the same way with S9 and the cub scouts - wants no part of it.
She also said I dont want to take D7 because I have a date with some lady which is not true. I am more than happy to take my daughter to any girl scout activity, but I thought that since my daughter kept expressing to me that she wanted her mom to go with her on this special occasion that I would try to ask my X to spend some time with her daughter.
The X finally agreed saying she will leave S9 with Ed to take care of.
The strain of talking to her is just not worth it. I think from now on I will just give up on trying to help my daughter convince her mother to participate in things with her.
