Original plan for tonite, agreed upon 3 days ago, was that she would pick the kids up at Kid Sports Complex after Boy Child's lesson at Dinner Hour, take them to her place, feed etc. them, then off they go early tomorrow to Snow Place for the weekend. I was to have the carry-on bags packed for them with their travel stuff. Did my part.
So.
STBXMRSSP calls at Dinner Hour Minus Three. She finds she has to go to the Dr. "for something." How about SP collects them from Sports Complex, feeds them, and drops them off at her house at Dinner Hour Plus Two? "Is this life-threatening?" No, just something.
Doing this will mean I have to cancel my tennis match.
So.
What's my move? Do I say "consequences," compel her to skip the Doc or find a ride and possibly hang the kids out to dry without a sure pickup and feeling hungry?
Do I rescue her and TCB my kids and take the hit on the DB boards for obviously still harboring secret fantasies of reunion and renewal?
Sounded like another one of her tests, let's face it, if you couldn't have picked them up regardless of what you were doing, do you really believe she would leave them somewhere to fend for themselves while she took care of her own business?
SP do you believe she is that heartless towards her own kids? She may be like that to you but she wouldn't have done that to them, regardless of how horrible we all believe she is, let's admit it, push comes to shove, if you couldn't have made it, you know she would have cancelled her "doctor's appt" (yeah right, I believe that one, she has a case of broken brain syndrome). Seriously if she's cognizant enough to go to the "doctors", she would have re-scheduled that and picked them up. I believe that in my heart 150%.
SP, cover your a$$. Give the boy a cell phone, give him your number, in case she flakes out and does ditch them, boy calls you, you pick up kids, end of story.
She tested you again, and she knew you would give in... like usual. Women testing men, hmmmm.... I've never mentioned anything about that before have i? hmmmm....
And SP still harboring secret fantasies of reunion and renewal with Mrs.STBXSP, yeah I'm sure she has a bit of a clue about that "fantasy" as well and oh how she uses it to her advantage.
