I have pretty much lost patience with Mr Car. He is very happy to text all day but no suggestion of meeting up again. I have put out ideas twice and they have been met with a reply of "not sure."So I have gone ahead and made other plans and filled up both this weekend and next.
Weds night with Prof was good, he brought me a dozen red roses
None of the dates for his upcoming trips will work for me
but he did ask if I could attend either or both which was nice. I did find us a glamping spot for tonight, he says it will likely be the last trip that the van can make due to a number of engine issues.
I have concert tickets for next Friday night which I am super excited about, I'll go with Prof.
Mr PoD is back to being fairly chatty again. He is getting back from vacation next Saturday but said he'd still like to see me on Saturday night even if he is a bit tired. He used the word "exhausted" and I said we could push it out for another week but he he said no, we can just eat locally and then play.
Mr Six and I are meeting up but his kid schedule is far more flexible than mine in the sense that he and his ex cooperate with parenting and don't have a very set schedule.
My ex finally got back 50/50 legal and physical custody share of our kids. Apparently 4 DUIs, jail time and driving the kids with no license is not enough reason for him not to get his legal parenting rights reinstated
I was completely shocked at the outcome of the court hearing. He now also gets to claim one of the kids on his taxes but I still get to claim them as my dependent, which is just as well as I would lose the childcare deduction. I predict he will screw up his tax return by claiming everything he can and I will be the one to have deal with the IRS, again. He is supposed to pay 50% of the daycare but I haven't asked him for it for years in the hope that he will leave me mostly alone. I pay for everything for the kids, the clothes, shoes, haircuts, fieldtrips, the endless requests from school for money, birthday parties...and the cost of putting then on my insurance has just gone up to $600 a month. I wouldn't care if he worked any amount of hours approaching full-time employment but he doesn't.
Update: I texted Mr Car a short while and said we are not the same page with dating and scheduling, I enjoyed getting to know him a little but need to move on. He replied with "Best to you." Phew, no text rant in reply.
