He shut that bitch down with NO INPUT from me. YAY!

She, according to their divorce decree (they have no CO), is supposed to provide all transport for skids between houses (it might not be "fair" but he's the one who shells out money for everything for them, and she signed the document agreeing to it). She agreed to this, and yet is the queen of manipulating shit so that she doesn't have to. DH has been her bitch, jumping when she says and driving the skids to her/picking up from her, to "keep the peace." She likes to let DH know at the last minute that she has to work Friday night and/or Saturday morning on her weekends, or sometimes she just flat out refuses to pick them up and demands that he transport them.

I guess he's finally had enough. I was at work and incommunicado when all of this went down. He was on the phone with skid1 and asked when they were showing up to pick up skid2, since he had plans to go to the gym at 6pm (pickup is supposed to be 4:30). Skid1 asked Twuntzilla what the plan for skid2 was, and she went off in all manner of profanity at the kid, saying "I'm not fucking driving all the way over there to fucking pick him up."

(Side note: I have already told DH not to put skid1 in the middle of this shit, because she's an unstable asshole. Maybe now he'll remember.)

He hung up from skid1, called the twunt and told her to stop acting like a lunatic toward their kid. She reacted in typical unstable form, cursing at him and acting like and idiot. He told her he wasn't dealing with her unless she acted like a sane person, and hung up.

She called back. Rinse and repeat.

He ended up telling her she could either pick skid2 up tonight, or wait until tomorrow to see him, if she sees him at all this weekend. He told her "You want to play mother of the year all the time but you can't take a few minutes to pick your son up?" Took skid2 to the gym with him, and lo and behold, when they got back Twuntzilla arrived to get him. Fucking shocking. In the past, DH would have packed the kid up without hesitation, cancelled his own plans to drop him off. Tonight, he put the responsibility on her, where it should be.

Progress, I guess.
