Later on in the evening D7 called W to ask W if she was going to pay for a book she ordered that was due today and how. Then D12 also wanted to talk to W for a minute so she did. Then I had to get on the phone with W to get the details so I could fill out the form for W and D7. W was frusturated and told me they had called her earlier. I said I was not aware of that. Then W said if the girls are not with her, she doesn't need to be bothered.
K, do you not see how needy this makes you look? Do you wonder why your W is frustrated? She feels she is dealing with 3 kids here, you included! She is even telling you this!
When the kids are with you, you deal with this type of stuff, that's your job. You are not with your W right now, so don't call her about this mundane cr*p! You could show your the leader here, pay for the book, have the form filled out, and processed, if you have questions about it, call the people that are involved with the form, not your W.
You should tackle this stuff on your own, you have 0 chance of your W ever getting respect back for you while you do things like this. But you also need to realize that you do these things for you and your kids, not to show you W some changes! If she notices, well that's good, but count on her not noticing, and just do them because you need to!
