I may have mentioned previously that the exH is not fond of our dd13's new school. It's a small private christian school. She has always attended private school and it was time for her to move on. Her counselor agreed that putting her into the public schools would not be a good idea.

Anyway the ex and SM have been telling dd13 how the school doesn't provide a good education, how the teachers don't teach well, and how she won't be attending next year. (Of course this is all based on... I don't know since they've never sat in on a class. Not exactly something they should be discussing with her IMHO)

So dd13 is participating in the schools Christmas play. This is their one big deal they do all year. (No homecoming, no spirit week, just the play). The teachers participate, they stop class and have the entire school(50 kids) go rehearse and this week, before show, they've had practices from 4-9 or 10 each night.

So last night was the ExH's night to have kids. He's been aware of the aggressive schedule all along.

I wake up this morning to an email from the principal from 8:30 pm last night that read something like this;

Mrs step off,

I just had a run in with SM and apparently she is not happy with the way things are going with the play...long rehearsals, late nights, no teaching. She made quite a scene in front of the students. I hope dd13 is ok. I hope she'll be able to participate. She's in the choir and has a solo.

Wtf!!!!

I picked up the phone immediately and called the ex to see if he was aware. He said he was and that he fully supports her. (Good answer, but..).

Without going into all the details he expressed that he did not like the christian school. He thought the play was ridiculous. He thought the play was just the principal showing off and trying to get money. (BTW, this school cost about half of what other private christian schools in our area cost. Non denominational schools or arts/other focus schools cast triple).

I asked why they pulled dd13 out early and his first response was "this is time to be treasured". Then he said that that's not even it. Which of course set me off. Because he is notorious for making the kids fee bad about having an interest or activity outside if the home. So I laid into him. He got mad and yelled. Told me I was vicious and mean and hung up on me.

Later he texted and asked me to forward him the principal's email.

Now I don't really care if they are unhappy. They can have a private discussion with the principal. Not go pull DD13 out 90 minutes early and make a scene. And wtf is wrong with him that he sends his wife out at night to get his daughter? Wtf. I also asked him if he had called the principal to discuss the education and teaching styles that were concerning him after our discussion a month ago. Nope. Why on earth would he waste his precious time doing that?

ExH said there is no way DD is going to that school next year. He wants her in public schools near his home. Nope. I have sole legal. I don't to play those cards but I will.
