ME: Good morning. What time will you be bringing the kids over tomorrow? (they're on spring break)
STBXW: No later than 9. But I'm not feeling well and might decide to bring them over tonight instead.
ME: Sorry you're not feeling well. But I have band practice until around 10 tonight.
(pause)
...it was at this point that I started writing another text that would have suggested that my mom could come to my house and watch the kids while I was at band practice so that she could drop them off tonight.
But then I thought, "Why should rearrange my schedule and inconvenience my family because she doesn't feel well?" My mom is coming over tomorrow to help ME with the kids. I'm not going to ask her to come over the night before too.
So I erased that text and just waited. Eventually...
STBXW: Ok, not a problem. I'll bring them tomorrow around 9.
Do you know how much it SUCK$ to not offer to help the person you once pledged to love forever?
UGH!
