WHY DO WE DO IT?

[navajo]

Well, let the games begin...

W asked me the other day if she could move in this Monday (tomorrow) and I said whatever. So she has been coming over after she gets off and cleaning a spot in the basement, bought sheets and pillows for the futon, bought a rolling closet, etc.

Yesterday as I was leaving to go get my D18 from work, she asked if she can put her computer back in the living room and move the kids' back to the dining room. I told her I would think about it and let her know and left.

Well, last night she emailed to ask what I had decided.

I told her that the desk was hers (the kids and I bought it for Mother's Day a while back) so I would move the desk to the basement and she could put her computer there. Well, she emailed me back and said that would NOT work and that this is still her house too and she wants it in the living room.

Now a bit of back story (yes, I will be as brutally honest with you all here as I can). When she asked to move into the basement to live, I chuckled and said that no one can live in our basement since there is no bathroom or kitchen. She was adamant that she was going to LIVE there even though I was just trying to get her to admit that she would be “staying” there and also using the rest of the house as needed. Now, it is as if she has decided to insert herself back into the family whether we want it or not.

Both kids have told me they don’t want her to move back but understand. They have both also said that they do NOT want her to have her computer back in the living room and set her “command post” back up here. Now, before I get attacked, I did NOT lead them into this conversation and only brought it up since their computer in now in the living room where I can keep an eye on them easier.

So, I stopped emailing her last night about it since it was just going to turn into a fight and am now torn between just moving the desk to the basement today since it is 3 to one in favor or moving the kids computer and disabling the network connection there so her computer doesn’t work.

I swear! With everything else going on in our lives right now, fighting over this is just so asinine it’s not even funny! WTH is she thinking? That she is going to come back and act like nothing happened?
