After another email this am. my cell rang about 15 minutes ago.
I decided to go ahead and answer it. I had just finished an insanely busy day and if I didn't the calls would be not stop, she is the most relentless person I know. After the latest, I am now a ghost. : )
Of course I get "what's going on? How come I haven't heard from you" blah blah blah. Then I get grilled about the meaning of my comment I left yesterday about being predictable.
I actually laughed it off and said it's a joke. I heard "I don't get it." "What do you mean?" about five times and just blew it off.
I stayed upbeat and happy and pretty soon all the questions about the mortgage turned into "oh well I was just wondering, I haven't heard in a while. I'm not in a hurry" (whatever)
I did calmly address the issue with my daughter reminding her of her words just a month or so ago that totally contradicted what has been taking place. She had no response to that, other than "It's been more than a month." I said ok, well maybe a month and a half. She said nothing else.
I said my only concern here is for our daughter. I hope you really took the time to place yourself in her shoes and how that must have made her feel. She said she did that. I told her I disagreed and pretty much left it at that.
I wouldn't have answered the phone but I felt the need to address the issue with my daughter while still fresh.
My statement contained no anger whatsoever, perhaps a bit of guilt, but she can have that at this point. It is time she considered how all this crap is affecting our children. Will she actually do that? Probably not, but I'm not going to keep my mouth closed when it comes to the kids. I could tell the way I came acrossed was unexpected and it through her for a loop.
Looking forward to not dealing her for a while. : )
