Me: Hi, What time can I get S3 tomorrow? I would like to take S1 out for a bit after I drop S3 back off if that is OK.
W: S3 will be attending nursery in the morning as they are having a party and cake to celebrate his birthday. After I pick them up I'm bringing them home to open his presents if you would like to be there and to give him your gift . My plan was to them take him into town to choose a couple more toys for himself and then take them out to dinner.
Me: That's nice of nursery. Yes I would like to be there. I already gave him his gifts on Saturday. I would like to take them to the amusement arcade for bit too.
W: His birthday is tomorrow...why did you give him them early? So he has nothing to open tomorrow?
Me: I wanted to spend a decent amount of time with them playing with the presents.
W: Well what did you buy him? W: Sounds like you lot have already celebrated his birthday and I've only got an afternoon with him to celebrate so I'm going to carry on with my own plans. Cheers for being a d1ck about it.
Me: What do you think I should have done? Bring all his presents to (W's town) and open them in the street? I didn't know if I was even welcome in your house. Or bring them and take them back with me or bring them and then leave them at yours so I don't get to see them have fun with them? I did the best with what I had. You have all day tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday to to do whatever you want with S3. I have the day off specifically to see S3 and I would like to see him and he would want to see me.
W: Don't you think I would have had like to watch him open your gifts. You are welcome in the house....stop acting like a child. Right well I was going to take him to the amusement arcade as well so we can all go so S1 doesn't miss out. Can you bring me the trike for S1 as I've bought S3 a bike for his birthday.
Me: Quit it with the name calling. I wanted to take them both to the amusement arcade anyway so that works for me. Yes i will bring the trike. What time should I get there?
W: 2pm
Me: OK
So one minute I'm a d1ck because I gave my son a nice day and W missed it and then I'm a child because I thought I wasn't welcome at her house even though I have picked up and dropped the kids off at her M for the last few weeks.
I tried my best not to react and just respond. I did go off a bit on the message about why I gave him his presents early. She doesn't have a clue how this works for me at all.
I wanted to address the name calling but I wasn't sure how to for a while. I thought that labug would ask me, if I was being the man I want to be what would I do and got my answer.
Seeing as the kids finish nursery at 12:45 I must be pushed out of the present part. That's life.
