flustrating acctinggirl: This is so stupid, so so stupid....
My daughter went to the doctor last Thursday, for an ear infection/sinus infection. They prescribed her an antibiotic. She went to my xh's house over the weekend (he lives about 100 miles away) He called me at work, and said "Pick her up at my moms, Im going out with my friends, and by the way....I forgot her medicine!!!!"
I realized getting pissed at him, will do me no good at this point, b/c the medicine is 100 miles away, and I cannot get it. I call her doctor to call it in again. (this is at 4p.m.) They say o.k. they will do it right away. I pick her up at his moms, go home. Wait until 7:30p.m, go to the pharmacy. No medicine has been called in. :(
I go back home call the nurse line, they forgot! They finally call it in. I go back to the pharmacy and they tell me they cannot refill it b/c insurance says I have enough for another week. I am getting irked by this point....I explain the situation to them, I can tell they dont give a rip. After waiting another 1/2 hour with a 4 year old racing around the store, they say it will be o.k. to refill it but I will have to pay full price, insurance wont cover any of it. Fine...at that point I dont care. I dont need a sick kid.
I called to let my xh know about the insurance (he carries the insurance on our daughter) I wasnt bitchie or anything. It just pissed me off so bad b/c he was obviously in some loud bar, and he didnt give a s***. He just kept saying "ok" I know it shouldnt bother me, but it did. My bad night was all his fault, irresponsible jerk! :P

Re: flustrating sudboy: I hear you Acting --
My work responsibilities include carrying a pager 24 hours a day. A few weeks after my separation, i was paged into the office at 3AM while my little son was sleeping in the next room.
And of course his mother (who lives only a few miles away mind you) had turned her phone off -- so I couldn't ask her to come watch out for the boy while I went to work. What was I supposed to do, wake him up and bring him to the office? The thought crossed my mind...
I ended up calling a kind neighbor who came over to the house, thank goodness. I was so angry at my STBXW for not being available to watch our son -- when she knows well that i don't have a choice about whether I go into the office when I get paged like that.
I think that was when I really realized what it feels like to be a single parent.

Re: flustrating acctinggirl: Thanks,
Yes...it is amazing what kids pick up. I guess it just makes me sad to see him call her or want to see her less and less each week....I mean if he is like this ( so little contact) after 8 months, what is he going to be like in a few years...it just hurts to see your children hurt.
I did do something that made me feel alot better. I created an "invoice" on my computer and put a copy of the receipt from the pharmacy on there and sent it to him in the mail. hehe....
