Well, made it through Thanksgiving. D4 has still been sick. Had to take her back to the doc. Had strep now on top of the still infected ears. So, more for ex to get mad about the dr. money. lol. I looked at my acct today and wondered why I was so broke. That little 450.00 or so for doc visits and meds has not helped in the last 2 weeks. Imagine what he would say if he was the one that had to take her and pay. Yep, that's with insurance. We have a high per person deductible and it sucks.
I am trying so hard not to argue with him when we talk, but his behavior and the stupid stuff he says just is so irritating. I am seriously trying to limit my contact. His favorite thing to talk about and whine about is if I'm seeing someone, who, etc.etc. That just still cracks me up since he's had the og for a year. It is comical and really irritates me at the same time. I told him last night that none of that needs to be brought up when we talk since it has nothing to do with the kids.
Christmas is going to be tricky. I'm letting him have them Christmas Eve at his mom's house, because that's when they do their family gifts and things. Then we had planned for him to come to my house Christmas morning to watch them open their Santa gifts. I wouldn't have a problem with that if there wouldn't be any drama. I just don't know.
Most of Thanksgiving all he could do is complain about us not being able to do things as a "family" and how much he missed it. However, he never did do anything to make that happen. Still will say that out of one side of his mouth (loves me, wants the family, etc. etc.) and turn around and whine to og about me and profess his love for her the next minute. That behavior still totally perplexes me.
Anyway, the craziness still continues. I try not to play the game as much as possible, but I sometimes allow myself to get mad and sucked into the drama. He crazy two faced behavior just makes me mad and all I want him to do is stop the games and be honest so that we can have a civil relationship and parent the kids. I know, I know. Asking a lot.
