Ok so right now I don't have the nicest feelings towards BM. At O's final soccer game on Sat (Which she showed up 35 minutes late for,) he lost one of his snacks after the game and started crying. We don't encourage crying over such little things. She was comforting him and he started walking towards me. I said, what snack was it buddy? She said, "The fruit snacks, like I JUST said." and copped a little attitude. Eric was packing up our stuff and it was our day and we didn't want her encouraging this behavior when we were going to be the ones with him the rest of the weekend. So I say okay lets go look and see if there are extras. There weren't. We left and went to his team pizza party, (Which she called us on the way and told O she wasn't going to when she had asked him 2 times AT the game if he wanted her to go.)
I get a text while we are sitting there, "In the future hun, let me deal with issues with O. I am his mom and I felt you undermined me when you asked him the exact same thing I had just asked. Maybe if I am not there you can handle these things. Deal? Thanks!"
Eric did not let me reply. He said she was probably mad at herself for showing up late and not going to the party. He said the fact of the matter is we parent very differently than her, and he did not want her encouraging his whiny behavior on or time. He felt I did nothing wrong. Some of you may disagree, but that't not the point of this post.
So she picks him up yesterday and I give him a hug and don't say anything to her.
I text her today, (Eric is out of town for the 3rd week in a row) Hey I put o's soccer picture in his folder in case you missed it. Also the dentist estimate I gave you is only if we do it all at once. If we split it up then next Thursday we will each be responsible for 196.20. Or if you still want a second opinion I can call the dentist and get the x-rays emailed to me."
"ok"
"Ok as in second opinion or as in all set for thurs?"
"Studying for final exam baby, text tmrw." <THIS IS THE REASON FOR THIS POST.
She called me baby. EVEN if she meant to type babe (which she has called me before, or hun, or sweetie, its always condescending,) it's still gross!
So I, bring the mature adult that I am, forward the text to Eric. The I type "VOMIT" and click send.
Only.... I accidentally send the word "VOMIT" back to her!
WHOOPS!
She texts back, whats that mean? I said Whoops sorry i stayed home sick today and my boss just texted asking how i feel. thats what I get for being overdramatic.
She says, "Oh i thought it was an acronym for good luck i hope you ace your exam, but couldnt figure it out
"
So hopefully she bought it? Either way, WHOOPS!
