DH had to work all weekend, so I was at home with the kids. Quite a number of nice things and pleasant interactions took place. This is just so that I remember the good stuff in years to come.

1. DH went out to get bread, SS went with him. DH got the kids a snack each, and one for me too, but SS was the one to remind DH what MY favorite snack is.

So, the thought has occurred to me that, perhaps, if I step up and act motherly together with DH in his plan to get the kids to do more schoolwork in order to bring up their grades (they are both failing Math), that BM might think I'm overstepping (or doing her job) and she'd step up and at least attempt to do HER job a little bit better.

He called me by the X-Wife's name!!!!!
During an argument.
WHILE referring to OUR child, eg X-wife's name, where is "our child"?

I am sooo mad.
He refused to admit he even did it.
It was like he didn't even realize.
It was like he seriously thought he said MY name.

The names are not that close, just similar ending, same vowel.

He refused to ADMIT that he did it and it was clear and plain as THUNDER to me.

I honestly NEVER ever thought this would happen. I don't know how to begin to calm down.

SD texted DH "Good morning, daddy, I'm on my way to school. Have a good day!"

That was unusual, she never initiates texts or calls during the week, but DH replied in kind.

The next day, same exact text from SD to DH. So it's starting to sink in, something's up, he gives her a call.

She was bursting with the news of "Mom's dropping me to school. Mom got a new car!"

DH actually blurted out "How the F*** can she afford a new car?!" and then apologized to SD for his outburst.
