BM calls last night while DH is in the shower, as he had just gotten home from work. I hit ignore. That felt good. He noticed it about 10 minutes after he got out, and called her back. He talked to her about 15 minutes. Conversation flowed like this;
First, she called to bitch at him about some homework assignment that didn't get finished on Sunday morning, as he did not know YSD had it. To me, this seemed a pretty minor offense, especially considering it was also the first time it has ever happened. Really didn't warrant a phone call/bitch session. Whatever, she was just trying to make him feel guilty to build up for the follow up question...

Can you give me money for skids' joint birthday party coming up? According to skids, they are renting a limo to take them somewhere, some ridiculously overblown event for a 9 and 10 year old. But, whatever, I shudder to think what will happen when they turn 16. BM is bad at budgeting, and looooves to spend, and is still not accustomed to DH not being her ATM machine. He told her no. I was so proud of him. Not long ago he would have just said 'how much?'

And her final request was that she needs to work one evening later this week, she wanted him to drive to her place, in rush hour (during that time, our house to hers is the way traffic is going, so it takes like an hour or more for what is normally a 20 minute drive)pick them up, bring them back to our place, and then bring them back to her house a couple hours later. He told her that she could text him when she was on her way to our home with them, and she could pick them up after she finished working.

He really has come a long way in dealing with her bullshit, she ran his life for 11 years, she still tries, and I KNOW it pisses her off when it doesn't work.
