Just venting... So how can someone say they can't compete against fun dad. B/c we played laser tag weeks ago or go out to dinner once a week or go bike riding. The complaint then becomes the kids are not doing their chores. W has had to make the kids beds. Doesn't make her own just shuts the door to her bedroom. There are papers all over the dinning room table and the grass needs to be cut. So how can I keep having fun all week with the kids and she is left having to clean up the big mess we left and she has to vac the house as well. Then says she has so little time with them to enjoy them. She spends it cleaning up after fun dad's week.
Within 1 hr of this conversation I have W saying she wants to go over friends house to cheer her up. Says she will go over after kids are in bed. Couple hours pass and we are getting into movie and W gets up. Packs a small bag and says she is going to friends house. Son melts down saying her never gets time with mom any more and he just loves her. 15 minutes pass and the boy is still torn up. W says she will cancel with GF. Says son can stay in her bed tonight. Boy calms down. She then leaves anyway. Boy is broken up again. Finally falls asleep.
Who does this? Blows off child to go out? Gives up quality time on a weekend in the middle of a movie? I just wanted to puke. I was so disgusted with that person I had to leave the room. I could not believe what I was hearing and seeing. She was just complaining about no time with kids. Trying to compete against "fun dad". She had her chance. All snuggled up with the kids on the couch. Both kids all to herself. She just litterally walked away from it to go and have her own fun. Of course the rest of the story is karma terrific.
W gets home at 2:45 AM according to her admission to kids at breakfast. S gets up while sleeping in her bed at 6:30AM. So W is dragging a$$. We get rolling for the day and go outside to leave and the car that W parked the night before is unbelievably poorly parked. To the point of kids noticing and commenting. We can barely get car out of our garage past the park job. Mom can you move the other car so we can get out of the garage.
All the while I am thinking ...What a joke! This person was so drunk she couldn't park the car. If she wasn't drunk then I am not sure how it was so poorly parked. What do you do with this sitch?
