Begin rant.
So yesterday Mom comes to get the kids and doesn't bring car seats for them, and she asked me to borrow mine. This has happened before and I have told her that it's not my job to supply that stuff when she fails to plan ahead.
I get frustrated because this is the latest example in a very long line of irresponsible behaviour and tell her so. After I say it's irresponsible and while walking away with the car seats, she tells me to f off. I felt like saying "your welcome".
When there's a PA day coming up and I remind her that it's her time, she says I didn't give her enough warning and she has to work. Like, who's job is it to know when you're kids are supposed to be with you?
So there are also times that I feel a little bad for her because she is going to have a tough time soon when the SS ends. Instead of paying her $700/mth (SS less an offset for CS) she will be owing me $500/mth for CS. She doesn't make as much as me and this will be a big swing. On the other hand, I will not allow her to be the way she is in most areas of life - irresponsible - when it comes to financially supporting her kids.
All told, it happens every time. If I do feel a little sympathy for her, she will inveitably do something soon enough that makes it easy not to feel badly for her.
End rant.
