Question:

D begged me tonight to let me get her ears pierced. We have been going back and forth with this a few times for a few months now. I finally told her okay but we need to clear it with daddy.

So I called J tonight to discuss this with him. He said he had no problem with it and if D wanted both of us there to let him know and he would make the trip. He then had to add that D talked to OW about this weeks ago and wanted to go with OW and OW told her no, that was something she needed to discuss with mom and dad and that mom would want to be a part of. Hmmmmmm...sounds fishy.

So I flat out asked D if she wanted OW to take her? She said "no...way!!". I said are you sure? She said no, I want you. She then said daddy lied. She told me "daddy just said that because he wants OW to come along so they can kiss". Lol! I couldn't help it. I said "gag" out loud. D just looked at me and said "I know, right?". Lol!!

So why would J tell me such a lie? To get me upset that my daughter and OW are so close? To make me happy that OW doesn't want to "interfere" with my mothering? What purpose could it possibly serve???

I also took my car in to get fixed. The brake lights, as you may recall, aren't working and I needed new tires. J came by and said the bulbs in my car were fine so it had to be electrical. First thing the mechanic said? "It's the bulbs. Next time don't let your ex near your car". The bottom of the bulbs were melted and corroded. I kept the bad bulbs as proof. I was thinking about making earrings from them.

What a maroon.
