He is trying to bait me, I think. Maybe he is frustrated at his lack of control- in any area of his life, to boot!
I have noticed, though, that it is not really spew anymore. But, I put an end to that months ago. I didn't play along- not in forever. Plus, around April, I told him straight up that I would never listen to that again. I set a firm boundary. Since then, I really only got it through text once. When I reminded him he owed me $.
But he has baited me a couple time. I haven't bitten.
Today he emailed me twice, once telling me s17 was marked absent in classes today and another to tell me d13 is missing assignments (according to online posted attendance/grades).
I didn't see his texts. Then, he sent an email to s17's counselor and cc'd me. I responded and simply said that s17 was in ISS, which is why he was marked absent from classes.
Now, I texted him this info yesterday which is when I got the response about s17 being on the road to trouble and xh being *accountable*(?) for his actions.
And, d13 is not missing any assignments (probably the teacher just hasn't posted yet- or bc d13 was sick today- very sick, my poor babe!) So I did not even respond to that.
I just saw that xh sent a text about an hour ago.
xh: U can continue to be angry but need to respond when it comes to the kids.
OMG, what does he need? I told him about it yesterday, sent him an email today. WTF?!
I wasn't going to respond, but I also don't want to come across as passive-aggressive. I just want to say what needs to be said with minimal contact.
So, I responded with (probably not the best):
me: Nope. Not angry. Didn't see your text until I had already responded to your email- which I already told you about yesterday. And d is not missing assignments. So go f@<K yourself.
Ok, ok, I didn't say the last sentence. BUT I WANTED TO!!
