You can't have everything, where would you put it?

Email is communication isn't it? Ninety-nine percent of the stuff can be handled through email. D11 has an appt. here or has to have this done, etc.

I'm just trying to set it as a general practice.

How does it matter to the girls how we communicate? Isn't it better to handle things civilly through email rather than argue on the phone or at meetings?

I know the girls would like to see us together more, but that's because they have the 'parent trap' fantasies running in their heads. When we are together you can cut the tension with a knife. That does no one any good. And when we are on the phone, it's the same thing, there's no real discussion. Just clipped sentences.

Remember my response to STBXW on what I discussed at the parent-teacher conferences.

She took that as a swipe at her that she DIDN'T discuss these things with the teachers. I'm not going to respond. It's bait to start an argument.

I've never said that I wouldn't talk to STBXW when it was important. A first-quarter midterm doesn't rise to that level for me.
