So it's H's day. First I worked late to finish stuff since I am off work tomorrow. Then a trip to the eye doctor to fix my glasses. No luck. They have to order new frames. That is, if my frames are still available to be ordered. Sigh.
I left there and drove to the library to drop off some books. I no sooner parked in my spot and my phone started barking. It was H. (I have the ring tone set to bark when he calls). I picked it up and normally I wouldn't but I felt the need to. He asked me where I was and I told him I was at the library. He said I need your help with D. I said what's wrong? Aren't you at her soccer practice? He said yes come right away. I said what is going on. Long story short D had a temper tantrum to end all temper tantrums in front of H and her entire soccer team and her coach AND all the parents . And he couldnt blame me because I wasn't there!!! So when I got there, there was D and H standing by his car looking like they had a mouthful of worms.
So I asked D what was wrong and managed to calm her down and then she was right as rain and wanted to go practice. H was then mad at me because that wasn't what he wanted me to do. I said I am confused. What did you want me to do? I wanted you to take her home. But H, she's happy now. You can't exacerbate a situation with a six year old. He said well now mom has saved the day and mom wins. I said it's not about winning. I said no one wins. What is important is that little girl. He just said "I'm not putting up with it anymore, WH." I just said what can you do, H? She is only 6 and she's sensitive. After practice D ran to me and wanted me to take her home. At first H said no, then she started again and he said okay. I got his mind off it by asking if he could try fixing my glasses that broke. He said he would give it a whirl. I told him he was always so good at fixing things like that. He said he would try. He did try, but he couldn't fix them. I thanked him for trying anyway. He was pretty quiet the rest of the night.
I did talk to D when I was taking her home and asked her what made her so upset? She said daddy was mean to her. I said when you are at practice you have to practice or else mom and dad will have to take you home. She said okay and that she wished it was a mommy day. : (. I told her tomorrow was mommy day and we would be together all day. She was happy about that and seemed very happy the rest of the evening. She even fell asleep early. Poor baby.
Now granted I wasn't there and I don't know what happened. H was very defensive about it. I never accused him of anything but he was defensive anyway. I just kept my mouth closed about it. I did ask S for his take on it and he said D started crying because her heel hurt and it all went downhill from there.
I don't feel crazy anymore but I think H has lost a few more marbles.
