Yesterday was kind of a crazy day. Son ran out of gas on way to school. Calls me - I rush out because I don't want him to be tardy (again) for school. When I pick him up he is on the phone with his dad asking if there is a way to have an excused tardy. XH - "you need to learn your lesson". So, when I reach son he is agitated and I talk him down. Happens to be a day when he has appointments - so I end up late for work / then leave work to pick him up for appt / take him back to school / pick him up from practice and then deal with his car (you know the kind of day)
Anyway - fast forward to the evening. Son is picking up his grandmother at 9pm. At 8:50 he comes down and says "Dad's outside wanting to talk to me" - He goes to see what he wants - XH wants to talk about "life" and if son wants anything from him then son needs to spend x amount of time, do this and do that. Son says - I really can't deal with this right now - have to pick up grandma. X says something smart and son starts yelling at him - yes white trash heaven in front of my house.
Son leaves - picks up grandmother - comes home - X is parked at baseball field up the street watching for son to pass on his way back home. Calls again - wants to talk - son says "dad I have homework"! X gets angry - whatever.
My problem - he does this - stirs things up and then leaves. I'm left talking down my son. So, so frustrating!
Just venting!!
