WAW called our S4 and S7 this Christmas morning. I she must be back from "out of town at a place out of cell phone range" with OM (see previous post on that topic).
WAW talked to my boys then specifically told S4 she wanted to talk to me. I could tell she had been crying, and she very nervously told me "Merry Christmas" four different times in the course of a 1-minute phone conversation. She didn't talk about business at all. I asked no questions and met each of her queries with a short, cheerful response. I said "bye" as quickly as possible.
How f#*king cheeky of WAW to be (most likely) at OM's house and make a point to tell me "Merry Christmas" over and over on the phone.
Ironically, this is the Merriest Christmas I can remember having for a long time. My boys, my parents and I together have had a great time. Very busy and very fun.
WAW got me an iPod shuffle from my boys as a Christmas gift. I want to smash it and give her the pieces.
How f#*king incredible to spend >$50 on such a nice gift for me the LBH who only heard evil things from her mouth for months and while she is f#*king OM?
I wouldn't use that iPod if someone paid me $1 Million.
I expect she requested to talk to me to hear from me how much I liked the iPod. Forget that-forget her-I have except when she wants to talk, and I can't get out of it.
When she dropped off my (yes my not "our" anymore) boys last weekend, she twice made sure in my presence that they had Daddy's gift with them.
The whole idea of getting each other Christmas gifts "from the boys" now or ever in the future irritates me beyond belief.
I felt compelled to get her something from my boys when she made such a big deal about my gift at drop off. I got her a custom calendar with different pictures of her and my boys each month. What a waste of $15...
It's so "cake and eat it too" to think I would appreciate (or frankly even want) a nice gift from her.
I think the best thing now is to write a short thank you to my boys at WAW's address and then re-gift the iPod to a niece or nephew on my side. What does everyone think?
