Thanks all. As you all know, it is a real struggle to stay on top of the kids lives when you are NOT the custodial parent. We all remember from our 'lessons' here that women multitask a LOT better than we men. Recall, "women are like Microsoft Windows: multiple windows open, multitasking and 'pop-up' windows that need to be closed by us."

I will have the kids for 3/4 weekends in Oct since I have Columbus day weekend and it falls on her parenting weekend (vacations supercede parenting time). D7 told me she wants to go to Philadelphia.

XW went out again last night and didn't come home until 10:30P.
Although more time for me, it's a school night. I had the kids shower and get into PJ's. She called and spoke with S10 then asked to speak with me.

XW: "My car literally rolled into the driveway. I ran out of gas. Please leave me the gas can. I'll have to walk to the gas station in the morning."

Now, my son heard all this. I should have said 'FU'. I should have told her to get her OWN gas can. I threw the gas in the back of the car and brought the kids back to her. I filled her car with a 1/2 gallon of gas as S10 watched to see how/what I was doing.

I'm too nice I think, in view of the fact that she is always teetering on dragging me back to court.

I've replaced the kids bedroom furniture with bunk beds since XW took both sets. I'm trying to restore the emptiness of the house as best as possible.

No bids on the house of late.

Dating service: Ugh. A lot of people with issues, angry, etc.
