Where in the world did that come from !!!

Not sure if this is one of the "stages" I have to go thru on this journey, but W is really irritating me at the moment !

She wanted the kids to have her old car, and while they initially declined, common sense prevailed and they are now driving it around. 2 days ago S21 had to drive to a town about 60 miles away for something to do with his license. Anyway he got halfway home and blew a tyre. Presto no Jack in W's crappy old car so I get the phone call "Dad can you come and help me out ?". So off I go during the middle of work to get him going again.

Then in the last 2 days D17 has started her job at the Dental Surgery where W works. Bear in mind W only wanted D17 to have the job so they would get closer and D17 would forgive her for the whole WAW thing. So D17 has to get the bus straight after school - only a few miles but the school won't let her because she doesn't live in that town. So guess who has to stop work last 2 days and drive her over to work. Yep poor old Dad.

I know they're only small things, but it just irks me that W has her life now, doesn't want anything to do with raising the kids, and yet at the same time everything she tries to do to get back chummy with them just causes me more work !!!

Thanks for the vent.
