No worries about the tail rotor, @hoosiermama. Many years in Army Aviation.
You have to understand that a great deal of this argle-bargle from WAW comes right out of left field. It's like that 16-ton weight in Monty Python. This is why I'm increasingly convinced that WAW is mired in MLC -- there's no rhyme or reason, there's no chronology, to anything she does. It's all right there, on the surface, top-of-the-head kind of stuff -- no sense of impact, consequence, any of it.
Example: When Themselves went to their mother's house on Christmas Day (as later related to me by Girl-Child Herself), Girl-Child told WAW that she, Girl-Child, was worried that "Daddy will be sad for Christmas."
WAW's reply, per Themselves, was: "Well, I would have invited him but he acts too uncomfortable around me."
Okay. First of all, nice job validating the child's feelings. Way to go.
Second of all, what the f*ck? You would have invited me? Divorce not finalized, your parents and siblings in attendance? Yeah, that wouldn't have been too awkward.
Third of all, what the f*ck? You take a child's expression of concern for a parent and turn it into an indictment of the parent -- "don't blame me, it's him."
