So the great cell phone debate just went worst. Guess what SO did? He bought the phone and brought it home. He says he told SD13 that it wasn’t fair that DD15 &DD9 had to work for everything and she doesn’t (anyone else think that this is going to cause hard feelings?) I know he did this to end the argument with me but really? So he gets home right before I do from DD15 school orientation. An hour later his ex wife calls. According to him pissed off because SO didn’t just give the phone to SD13. I heard SO tell her well then why didn’t you pay for it? EW (ex-wife) because I don’t have a job, im on welfare and cant afford it. I don’t ask you for anything nor do I take you back to child support for more money (SO has always paid CS and there really is no point because here welfare gets CS and then distributes money and foodstamps no matter what amount is ordered). SO hangs up. EW calls back and leaves a message he lets me hear. EW going off telling him to shove the phone up his ass. That SD13 works hard at home (mind you SD13 has had a phone since February and rarely calls or texts SO. His whole reason for getting it to have access to communicate with her & he told SD13 that).Another this is SD13 fourth phone since February. At this point I feel that SO is using me and DD’s as a scapegoat to give rules. I told him last night he should give the phone to SD13 because we all know she’s going to disappear after she gets it again anyway. Why go though the hassle of EW? So now SO has a bad attitude because he can’t make anyone happy. I believe if he just ignored all of us and did what he knows is right to him he would be happier and make good choices. Because when given a chance and support to parent SO really is a wonderful dad (we do this for my DD9 because he was there since I was pregnant.) EW is too busy being a friend to SD’s than a parent, of course they want to be with her.
