W: "Its D's birthday this Friday (normally my day). I was wondering if we would be up for meeting up somewhere. The four of us. Supper and an activity. What are your thoughts? I had bowling or mini putt in mind"
First couple of things that come to mind, 1. I know when my daughters birthday is and 2. I know Fridays are normally her day, we have been doing this for 8 months....
I have already taken kids to bowling and an indoor play area for her birthday this past Sunday, already have dealt with the emotions of only seeing D briefly when I talk some cake to daycare for her.
I also know that W have OM 'friend' over for thanksgiving 2 weekends ago.
This is on top of her telling me when I picked the kids up about her health issues and how she may have some surgery in 6 months time. To which I didn't suggest (as I would normally have done) as to how I can help.... I just said ok, and left with the kids.
The all about her mindset and using the kids are still part of her playbook and I am just not interested.
