Her behavior all weekend was really strange. She went to her niece's birthday party while I stayed home with the kids (nice having that luxury when you're not a single mom, huh?). I fed them lunch and took care of them while she was out.
She came home with her sister and grandmother and was all lively asking how the boys were and then telling me all about the party, etc. etc. We took the boys swimming in her parents' pool and at one point she went underwater while holding S1 up about the water, not realizing how deep the water was. No problem, but she got her head wet and came up laughing. We both laughed. But most of my weekend was spent dealing with a W who was curt, edgy, inpatient and seemingly frustrated by something.
I played cool and tried not to make matters worse.
Patience is important, but like Silent said, it's hard sometimes and you feel like there's something more you can do. But dealing with a snippy and impatient W really made me have to struggle with feeling all warm and fuzzy for her. I was pretty over her and her mood. But I keep hanging in there...
