This morning woke up and we gave our daughter her birthday gifts. Usually my wife would buy everything, even on my behalf, but this year I bought my daughter this fancy hydro flask bottle. My wife gave my daughter a modest gift and wrote "stay tuned" to get her something later ... when she opened my gift my W got teary eyed. I think she felt bad I got her a more expensive gift ... ? Not sure
We went together to the gymnastics meet, W didn't interact with me much, but was happy my D13 did excellently. My W was supposed to take our D5 to a birthday party but at the last minute it was "cancelled". She said the birthday boy got sick. This is the son of one of her close co-workers that she talks to all the time. It seemed suspicious to me.
At with the kids at Panda express, told oldest to ask her mom what she wanted to eat, she didn't want us to order anything for her. Bought her some lo-mein, but I saw it on the fridge and she never ate it. It's like she doesn't want me to buy her any food.
Plan was to take kids and some of D13 friends to eat sushi, with W. But no she tells me I'll take them while she picksup other daugther at dance. I didn't like this, told her I thought the plan was for us to all go together. She told me I wasn't going to change her plans. I told her she could just go herself and I'll just pay and leave, I feel like she's only involving me as a "money source". Went back and forth didn't escalate much but she didn't like that comment. She said she'd stop by the dinner on her way back, and that if I didn't want to feel like a money source to interact with D13 friends.
I should have probably not said the "money source" thing but that's how I've been made to feel this whole time to be honest. Let's see how the dinner goes.
