Good Lord, quit talking to the kids!!!!!!
|
One of my pet peeves is when our kids spring plans on me that they have made without talking to me first. They KNOW this but from time to time, still do it.
So last night, when I pick up the kids, DS8 says, "Mom, dad said to give you our pool pass so you can take us to the pool tonight."
<there goes MY plans for the evening>
I said, "Why would you need to go to the pool if you've spent the whole day there?" (they go to the pool nearly every single day, all day, per the kids)
DS8 says, "Dad couldn't take us today because he was too busy getting ready for the trial."
WTF????
I didn't even have DS12 as he was at track practice so I didn't want to go to the pool and leave him at home alone when track was over. So, I had to tell DS8 no. He wasn't too bothered, really, he had 2 friends over and he ended up spending the night with his two buddies. DS12 showed up at 7:45 and wanted to go to the pool. Just out of curiosity, I asked him, too. "Didn't you spend the day at the pool?"
DS12 said, "No, not today. Dad was getting ready for your trial today. He was too busy."
I kept my mouth zipped but I was annoyed.
I offered to swap days with the ex so the boys could go to a theme park with my brother on July 1st, whaich was supposed to be our trial date. He still has not responded. It makes me wonder if he had planned o n having our kids testify that day and he just doesn't know HOW to respond....that may explain why the kids know so much about the trail.
