Ok, so I'm going to vent.
My ex just got herself a little dog. My kids are over there playing with the dog and talking about how cute it is. I am furious, though I have to do my best to hide it because my ex is salivating to see me get angry and use it against me.
Why does it piss me off so much? There are two main reasons. First, It's obviously an attempt to get the kids to want to be with her. She knows both of the girls are happier with me, and she knows she is an emotionally unavailable mom. So, suddenly she gets a puppy and the kids want to be over there. I know it will die down, but it is clearly an attempt to manipulate the kids. That brings me to the second reason. A dog? Talk about putting ZERO thought into things... . She doesn't even have her own place to live -she lives with her sister- and she is working sometimes for a few weeks or a month at a stretch, away from her sister's place, living on-site for her job. How the heck is she going to take care of a dog? It's going to be her "travelling buddy", she says. Hmm. Yeah, right. So, I already know what is going to happen. She is going to dump the responsibility on someone else, just like she does with everything. So, our eldest daughter will probably be the recipient of all the responsibility. And that likely means that my ex (her mom) is going to expect her to take care of the dog even when she is spending her week with me. And suddenly, I'm going to be asked/expected to drive her over there to feed the dog. I'm going to say "No," but then who gets to look like a bad-guy for the kids? Yup, me. Such a cute little doggy, and daddy won't even take his own daughter over there to feed it. boohoo.
Anyway... . just venting. I know there is nothing I can do about it, and I need to just handle it as it comes. It's just... . all this crap piling up in the back of my mind is wearing me out and driving me nuts.
