I wish SO didn't take calls from Skids during the week.

I know he misses them but it's always drama, every time.

Text yesterday while at work from SO
SO: SS had a good day. H was sad saying he can't get a few good days in a row. I love him sooooo much
ME: Yeah

---SS could have a good day every day if he wanted to. All he has to do is NOT misbehave. No way would he ever act out at our house like he does at school. He knows how to control himself IF he is going to have to face consequences.

SO: SD is mad at her shitty (BM). Shitty won't bring her to a bday party right down the rd
ME: Sux, but she knows how her mom is
SO: She knows she doesn't want to be there any more
ME: Nothing can be done about it. And if she lived with us, she wouldn't be going to everything that comes up. That's life.
SO: Don't be so harsh. Its an 11yr old girl mssing out on friend and fun. Id be upset too

----At this point I ignore the text. I can already see what's coming. That's why I texted what I did instead of commiserating with him. This weekend is a kid free weekend. I don't get those every often. The last time we did, I was off the Friday before the weekend and SO said he wanted to take the day off too so that we could spend more time together. ACTUALLY, he took the day off so he could go spend hrs at their school having lunch with them. I can already hear him saying he's going to take her to the party this weekend and we will lose half a day together.

After a few minutes of me not replying, I get
SO: She's not asking us to do it. She just wanted her mom to do on thing for her.
ME: I understand

"She's not asking us to do it"---Just like I thought.
