Cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it

Thanks Sol. The dinner was just ok.

So some more interactions with STBXW, never pleasant...not matter what they make me angry

My email to her (bypassed/avoided all the bills talk etc):

I spoke with xyz at [old day care] and took care of DD's tuition for this week [her last week at this school].

Also, after reading some articles I'd like to switch DD from the 2 day on/off to one week on/off. It will be less stressful for her that way and provide her a bit more stability. When bouncing back and forth between the houses every 2 days she probably doesn't get enough time to settle down and get used to the difference etc.

I'd like to try it for her and see if it's something that we can agree upon should this work. Let me know what you think.

Her response:

Sure, so then we would be a Mon-Sun instead of the current way. When should we try it out then? We should tal k to DD about it.

If we end up switching the schedule I'd like to set i up so that I can have most of the week (or at least weekend) that my mom will be here. She'll be here from Dec 8-16. It's midweek to midweek but if I could at least have the week of Dec 6-12 that would be awesome. If we're splitting up by week instead of days we need to pre-plan a holiday schedule.

DD mentioned that she had to give away some of her toys from her toy chest because she had too many. I don't know if you've already donated them, but I have asked you several times that if you're going to give stuff away if you could please let me know. A lot of stuff I could use. She doesn't have a ton of toys at my place so I could have used them. In the future please let me know I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

It somehow circles back to her wants and it always has to be what works in her favor.

Also while I haven't given any of DD's toys away but even if I did I might let her know as a favor/courtesy not because she wants me to. Her demands (guised as requests) just make me infuriated.

No I'm not bitter, I'm just feeling less sweet
