I'll preface this by saying that compared with some of the issues others are dealing with, this is pretty trivial and I know I'm lucky in comparison. So this is a minor annoyance vent.
Ex brought Kid over to my place today to start my week. Kid arrived with big duffle bag full of clothes. These are all clothes which I've bought her and which have migrated over to his place over the last couple of years. Kid says "Dad says he doesn't want your things at his place so I have to bring it all back". I told Kid that in my opinion they were Kid's clothes, not mine, and I didn't need to get everything back. Kid said "Yes, I know you're cool with it, but Dad says he doesn't want it in his house". Kid says Dad and Stepmom went through all her clothes and took out all the things I had bought. Dad was (for him) reasonably pleasant and civil at the handover, and said nothing about why Kid had a huge bag.
So now I'm wondering - what kind of person keeps track of who bought which t-shirt or pair of socks from years ago? And who sends all this stuff back because "he doesn't want it in his house"?
The answer is: a weird and unpredictable passive-aggressive control-freak person. And there are so many reasons why I am glad I am divorced.
