It still astonishes me how this woman thought herself a better mother to your kids than you! And now she has her own to practice on --- I hope this little one has a strong character.

XH sent me an email saying he had asked D14 if she had spoken to me about the holiday he is going on. She hadn't so he was letting me know when he would be away and unable to have her. He offered to swap a week at a time that was convenient to me! I replied thanking him for the information and said I was planning a holiday but didn't yet know when and that I would let him know once it was booked.
I guess it would have been even stranger if he had phoned me but at least it's a start (although of course it's all to his advantage b/c he isn't taking any of my children with him)

I know I shouldn't gloat but I just can't help myself
D14 just called round. I knew she would be arriving at some point b/c all her school stuff was here when I got home. When she arrived I asked if XH was coming to collect her. She replied no b/c he didn't get the job and so his car had had to go back.
1. I didn't know he had had to apply for his own job (I believe he was only acting up but he's supposedly been doing this since he left - 5yrs)
2. My instnat (silent) reaction was Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Poor thing he really isn't having a great time of it at the moment is he

Now they will be really up against it, because they can't squeeze any more money out of you than they already have. At what age do you have to stop paying CS for D14? 18? Whatever, I predict she'll be back living with you way before then-- and then they will be really screwed. The Ho will surely have to go back to work. She's gotta be disappointed your X didn't turn out to be the moneybags she thought he was-- HA HA! It really is too rich.
Meanwhile, you have your new job, and are slowly recovering financially. You will have your kids. In the end you will be SO much better off than they will, and they will HATE it!
