Again, my ex is unreal....
We have two young kids starting school tomorrow. The youngest is her first day EVER!!! They are both very excited to start tomorrow
Over the last few weeks, the ex (who has temporary sole custody) has flip flopped on which school our children are going to, and hasn't said a peep about it to me (my oldest mentioned she was changing schools).
So I write a nice email, saying how nice it was to see the kids so excited for school, and that I would like to be there for the first drop off, and meet the teacher, etc.. The usual first day stuff. I did this with our oldest before separation, but now the ex is resisting.
Our divorce is filled with nasty allegations on her part, and she is spitting fire in every other email, even two years later after separation. Her first reaction, time and time again, is to do what she wants and forget about the reaction of our kids. Sometimes she smartens up and sees what is best for the kids, sometimes not. (The kids and I missed our one week summer vacation because "originally she volunteered it, and as such maintained the right to change her mind")
Not being one to push her buttons unnecessarily, I guess I am calling the school in the morning to find out what time to be there. She will likely get upset about it, but I remember from being a kid starting school, how cool it was when my dad could make it to school events (until I realized how un-cool it was when I got older )
Her last words on this matter.... "Your access time ended on Sunday at XX:00 pm and resumes in 12 days...".
Unreal.
So in my typical high conflict style <sarcasm>, I will be at the school tomorrow anyhow, and wish the kids well. I just hope it won't turn into a skirmish on her part, or she makes a scene, etc...
And just covering my butt.... has anyone here EVER heard about access being that restrictive that I can't even stop by and wish the kids a good day at school? There are absolutely no separation anxiety issues that would get in the way. My temporary access order just says "from xx time Friday to xx time Sunday, Eow, starting xx day".
