I need to vent a little. Probably being slightly petty. Just slightly frustrated, which just shows how detached I am not. Tomorrow is the off Friday where she is supposed to pick up the kids.
W Text 1: Hey! My mom is watching the kids for a few hours tomorrow morning, so can you drop them there? She is going to take them to get haircuts, so if you could drop them by 8:30. They both desperately need them!
W Text 2: Also, just a reminder that next week is my London trip. I am going to keep them home Monday during the day (taking the red eye that night). Were you planning on taking them those extra days? I don't think we ever firmed up that plan.
My Response: I will bring them to your Mom's. I will be sending the kids with checks for Child Support, for taxes along with your copy of tax paperwork, and recent mail. I received those dates via text and assumed I would pick them up from daycare. Please send me the updated calendar.
Perhaps I very petty, but it is the day before, the schedule is not finalized, and I am left to try and pick up the pieces. Which I don't mind doing, but we are D'ed. Therefore, I shouldn't have to. These should be business transactions and therefore I should have the courtesy of time and respect. If the roles were reversed I'd imagine she would have a huge problem dropping them off with my parents (as she hasn't spoken or reached out to them in... well... ever).
This isn't going to ruin my day by any means, just a Debbie Downer.
Feel free to call me out if I'm being stupid!!! I'm here to learn, and I can handle the abuse!
