My W calls this morning after I left her a voicemail yesterday about helping her to buy shoes for the boys. She asks me to mail her a check. OK, no issues.

I then ask her if we are still on to swap the boys this weekend since "every other weekend" seems to be the visitation option. She then said" well S11 has basketball practice and this and that, and S13 is doing this and that..." I just said "OK, I'll take care of all that, no issues". W turned silent and said "OK".

I think she expected me to back off having the boys this weekend, I don't know. But I stuck to my guns and sent the message that I too could handle my buiseness as a parent. Well, that's mindreading , I know, but that's my take on that.

Calm and good ephone exchange though. W was sick. I empathized with her and wished her a speedy recovery.
