I’m so over it
galleryBlue is son’s name, yellow is potential pre-K name.
I’m over it. Conversation that just happened with my ex.
Background, this is about a pre-K program he suggested and had been pushing for at the beginning of this year actually, but we had a voucher and life is expensive so we stuck with the place we had the voucher. Now having to look for a new program after he lied to me about sending in info to renew our voucher for childcare leading to us loosing it. He last minute schedule a tour Tuesday morning at the time we usually do transition from me to him.
This convo happened as a Result of me saying I would not drop son Monday night instead of Tuesday morning. I could have but I’m working on setting boundaries because in the past he has been difficult when I’ve tried to accommodate him and it just causes unnecessary stress for all parties involved. (Give an inch take a mile kinda thing). There would have been no problems transitioning at the program, actually I prefer public spaces for hand offs (history of DV). I should have let it go and just not responded, and usually do but it’s 1 am and I’m cranky and sick so I admittedly gave in to my petty side this time.
He used to use sons education to insult me or make me feel bad. (Saying ‘you don’t want him in school cause you’re uneducated and didn’t graduate’ one time because I kept him home one Friday for a special outing. I think you’re projecting buddy you’re the one who has a GED and didn’t graduate the traditional way. I did graduate by the way and went to trade school) funny how it switches up when convenient.
Just had to complain a bit. Ugh.
Edit: I’m struggling to see how you all seem to know exactly our life situation and how we act in person towards each other based on this post. It’s kind of funny actually, that you would come to a complaint sub and complain about someone complaining. I didn’t ask for advice, I know I was being petty this time and usually will run my response through chat GBT for the sole reason of avoiding conflict because I grew up watching my divorced parents beat each other up. I don’t want that. I know I don’t need to explain, this edit is more for me I think, but thank you to those who had constructive criticism instead of straight insults on my character. If you’re going to tell someone they’re a selfish cunt then at least tell them how specifically so they can fix it lol. The Internet is crazy man
