Seriously?

Please, if you ever have children and end up in a baby daddy/baby momma drama situation, do not use the kids as your gopher.

During our great weekend, me and the kid hung out at the lake with Doodle and his boys. I was shocked (and almost blinded) by how pale these children were. Like whiter than my legs, which haven't seen sunshine for 20 years or so. Doodle slathered them up with the SPF 45 sun block. We were at the park for about 6 hours and unfortunately, he only put the sun block on them once. Their backs got slightly burnt. And by slightly I mean maybe an eighth of how bad I was in my whiney post. But being as their bodies have never seen sunshine, they were bothered by their burns. Doodle gave them cold showers, aloe and all the usual stuff after a sunburn. They tried scrubbing the pink off but it didn't work. They just hung around their house on Sunday (and did not go outside because of their backs). Doodle felt awful.

Then yesterday, he goes to pick up his kids and the oldest one runs out to him with two letters from his mother-who is standing on the porch and can't even have enough the decency to actually deliver him the letters herself. This woman is the epitome of what a woman should never be. He knows that atleast one of the letters will be about the sunburn. Smartly, he chooses to wait until the boys leave to read the letters. He knows he will be angry by them.

One of the letters says that the boys will no longer be attending the same school as they did before because her of move to another city. The other said that the hospital requires her to have a copy of the medical insurance card and had requested it when she took the youngest child to the hospital on Sunday where he was diagnosed with 2nd degree burns. Are you kidding me?

If this really happened, a concerned mother would be calling the other parent to bitch them out while they are at the hospital or shortly after they leave. Doodle also had his kids on Tuesday so again, if this really happened why would she wait and not tell him of the hospital visit until Wednesday? Or why wouldn't his kids say anything about it? She is a stay at home mom so there was really nothing which required her to take so long to write a letter to him. And the telephone was invented for a reason. I just don't understand women like this.

She is so angry at Doodle even though they have been divorced for over 3 years now. And the end of the relationship was due to her actions. Why would a woman/mother be so evil as to put her children in the middle of this? According to Doodle, earlier she would have told the kids what to say. He let her know that was not appropriate and if she had something to say to him, she should say it herself. Now she just gives him letters. How is this effective parenting if you can't even speak to the other parent of your children? FOR 3 YEARS. How does she not see that she is making her children feel bad? They love their father and should not feel guilty for wanting to see him.

And this makes me angry. She has no right to treat her kids-or Doodle-the way she does. If she hadn't been a lying wench who almost made them homeless, her and Doodle would probably still be together. And he would be miserable. But he would do that because he believes it is important for his kids. How does she not see that and why does she continue to punish all of them?

I guess the point of this is really-well, she is a bitch and I am glad I am not like that. Or I don't think I am. And if anyone else ends up in this situation, act like a responsible parent and think about the damage you are doing to your kids before you make them tell their daddy that he is a horrible person because they got a sunburn.
