UPDATE 6pm After the events of my previous post, i.e. my wife grabbing boxes of our son's old clothes from my garage to give to her friend, tonight she handed me a bag of "my" stuff that were in some of the boxes. I find it petty and insulting that she returned a newborn outfit that my parents gave our son, among other things.
More petty is she said this as she handed me the bag: "Here's your stuff. I don't hold on to things that belong to you." Basically she's implying that I still have a lot of her stuff and wonders why I'm unhappy when she barges in to take them. Well...
a. First, she left this family, this marriage. Whatever she didn't take when she moved out stays with THIS home.
b. Second, she has a hard time understanding that manners and social grace counts. She has never asked or discussed, she just tells me and takes what she needs. This also includes matters pertaining to our son.
I'm having a lousy day.
At least I managed to help our son pick a photo to make a photo card for her birthday today. We printed it, and wrote his name. It was precious.
