Hmmm.... I knew your ex would get nasty when she knew you were dating someone. Her loss...
Just ignore her and her "more of the same" crap. She doesn't sound like a Happy Camper. Good that your girls can brush her off - but do they really? It does get a bit tiring after a while no doubt.
Do you share regarding University stuff. Neither parent should ever carry all the burden and it IS a lot of work. My ex did squat - I always shouldered it all. And know what that made me to him? A "control freak". Hmmm.... C said that taking charge and being controlling are 2 different things. But regardless - your ex's approach was nasty. She should be spelling out clearly what she would like from you and you should be offering help. Oh - in a perfect world...
Nice that you had dinner out. Sounds like a good date.
