Holiday troubles rant

Holiday troubles rant Before the beginning of the Christmas break I called my (blue eyes and blond hair, a real knock out) to see when she was done with her exams. She told me that she was done already and was staying with a friend. When I asked her when she wanted to be picked up from Toledo she told me that she didn't need to be. She called me a day after my surgery to announce that she would be spending time with her mother this x-mas break and would see me when my ex dropped off the boys at my house for the duration of the drop off (a whole 5 minutes). She wouldn�t even tell me what she wanted for x-mas. My and I have been very close so having not seen her but for 1 day during thanksgiving since the start of the semester was disappointing to me. She hung up the phone on me when I suggested that 5 minutes was not really worth my/her time and said that I was jealous because she spent time with her mother. She spent a whole 5 days with her mother out of a more than three week vacation. I pointed this out to her and that�s when she hung up the phone. Even better I found out that she used the emergency credit card which I gave her for buying school supplies if necessary to have $400 worth of a good time. She didn�t even call to tell me merry Christmas. My ex called to tell me that she would not be coming to see me but would be dropped off in Toledo. So they drove 4 hours to Toledo and then paid for two bus tickets for the boys. Then my called me from the Toledo bus station to tell me that she wanted to be picked up. I am not yet able to drive 2+2 hours to bring her home and she was mad at my mother for writing her an email telling her that she needed to be nicer or to at least give us a reason. So I suggested she take the bus with the boys but she didn't want to. About 2 hours later she called again to say she changed her mind. By that point I needed to leave to pick up the boys. I had to call campus security to have them let her into her room to drop off her clothes while I worked out a way to get her a taxi cab to the bus station and a bus ticket. Her mother didn't even give her a 10 spot for a cab. The next bus didn�t leave for hours so I convinced my mom to drive me to pick her up. She didn�t even say hello or give me a hug she was just sullen. I fed her and brought her home after which we finally had Christmas here. I don't know what her problem but my dad is so angry he could spit tacks as he put it. At least she gave me a hug a bedtime. Dohhh My oldest had made plans with my ex to be picked up on a Sunday. I let her have x0-mas this year because her grandmother had asked me if we could switch the schedule so that she could treat the grandchildren to an indoor water park this year. Of course she changed her mind on Friday and wanted to pick them up on Saturday because the weather was going to be 38 degrees on Sunday. My refused to go as he had already made agreed to work on Saturday and had concert tickets for that evening which had already been paid for with his own money. So I ate the cost of a bus ticket from Cleveland to Western Michigan just to stop a big fight. He had a layover in Detroit during which someone approached him with a gold necklace for sale. He paid $80 cash for it. My youngest told me about it after which his mother smacked him lightly to shut up. She had it appraised at a jewelers for $800 and wanted my to sell it on E-bay. It was undoubtly stolen and I can�t think of a worse thing to do then to sell it on e-bay (its a good way to get charged with selling stolen property). Second in a big city like Detroit I'm surprised he didn�t end up with an $8 necklace or a life threatening beating or worse. Dohhh ! So the boys were unhappy because they had to wait to open their gifts, grandpa and grandma are mad because they received no respect, my is mad for reasons I have no idea. I'm the only one being rational. How can this be? Oh and the lab emailed me last night about an emergency (lucky I checked my mail), I was supposed to come in to remove retina's from some mice that had to be taken today at some unspecified time because the boss had to leave immediately. It�s not even my work or my project. Did I mention I was up last night still trying to wrap presents? Next year I�m going to somewhere warm and exotic like Aruba or Hawaii! |

Well, I can't say that I don't blame you. But at the same time it sounds to me as if your ex is playing games with you and the kids which isn't right. Maybe your daughter has a problem that she isn't ready to talk about yet. I hope you get things worked out with her. Best wishes my friend for a happy New Year.
