Ugh, I just vomited a little listening to ex

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

Ex called to talk to ds. The call lasted 6 minutes (a new record! He hasn't hit 5 minutes in months!). About 90% of the call was ex complaining to ds about how sick he is and how this week is busy for him at work and blah blah blah. Here's how part of the conversation went...

 

Ex- "Yeah, I'm really sick. I've been in bed all day watching sports and making my wife bring me food and drinks."

Ds- silence....

Ex- "And I just started sweating a bunch, the fever is probably breaking, but I'm sweating all over my sheets and blankets. I'm going to make my wife change the bed and clean it when I get off the phone with you"

Ds- "Can we hang up now?"

 

Gag me please. First of all- ds doesn't care about your sweat. Ewww. Way tmi there. Second of all- please, for the love of all things holy, don't teach my child to be a pig. If you want to treat your wife like that, continue on your way. But that is NOT the way I'm raising my son. He won't MAKE his wife do anything. He can ask politely for her to do something, but he will not MAKE her do anything. Especially clean his sweaty butt. Nasty. It's times like this I want to kiss dh's feet and thank him for being such a good role model for ds. DH would never in a million years say that he's making me do anything. He may ask me to do something, but he never makes me do anything.

I have to admit, I do laugh at some of the stuff Owen says. He is a ham and really isn't putting up with any of ex's crap. A couple weeks ago he actually told ex "the only reason I like going to your house is because you have disney xd and my mom and dad don't". Holy cow I about peed my pants trying not to laugh! I told dh and his response was "so.... we're going to get disney xd now?" LOL!

 

DS is constantly telling (well, trying to tell- when ex doesn't interrupt him) ex that our house is better than his and our city is better than his and all sorts of stuff that really gets ex riled up trying to defend his life.

 

Or the other comment yesterday that really had me laughing. After Owen asked if they could hang up he clicked the button on my phone that unlocks the screen. He saw that it was at 5 minutes and something seconds. Here's the conversation....

 

DS- "Woah, the time is already at 5 minutes and the seconds keep going up!"

Ex- "that's okay, we don't have a time limit"

DS- "I know, but I usually cut you off at 3 minutes"

 

jaw.gif biglaugh.gif OMG! First of all, I couldn't believe he used the phrase "cut you off". Second, I had no clue he was keeping track of how long he talks to ex all this time! LOL! I couldn't stand it, I had to walk out of the room at that point!

what an awesome kid you have.  at some point, he's going to figure out he doesn't have to talk to your ex at all.  i will be sad, then, to miss out on hearing about the stupid stuff ex says! :p

"and the seconds keep going up" is the best.

So how much longer before the custody is sorted out and Owen doesn't even need to deal with your ex for 3 minute (by the clock!) increments?

I forgot, I never updated on here.... We went to court a few weeks ago. The judge ordered that ex gets owen the last weekend of every month. 4 hours that saturday, 4 hours that sunday. BUT.... Ex has to drive to kentucky to do those visits every other month wink1.gif so at the end of may he's supposed to come here (we've been here almost 4 years and he's never been here to see owen). At the end of june I bring owen to michigan. Rinse and repeat until november 8th when we're back in front of the judge to update him. So ex has to come to kentucky 3 times in the next 6 months or explain to the judge why he didn't.
