I lost my cool superwife: I hate when I do this. I lose my cool when the stbx calls. But he doe it on purpose. Now I sound like the psycho he thinks I am. He called me "crazy". Then I say stupid things like "I know I am, sorry... I can't help it", of course ina sarcastic tone (please don't anyone tell me I shouldn't do that, I know i shouldn't).
It was about the shoes again. This is his biggest thing...her friggin sneakers. It seems she always has a growth sopurt at Daddy's house. I'm just tired of hearing it, so I lost it. I also lost it b/c he hasn't done this in a while, and I thought he was done with this. But apparently not.
So I called him back (after I hung up on him), and was very calm. I said, "it's been 14 1/2 months, I don't like you, you don't like me. i'm ok with that. Can we stop w/ the name calling and just deal with whatever it is we have to deal with with our child. So he starts about 'all the money' he has to give me. I asked him how far he thinks that money goes. He said I don't even deserve it. I bit my tongue and said i'm not going to have this conversation w/ out legal representation (how sad is this, still?).
I then asked him if he really wants to get dovirced, b/c he has supposedly switched attorneys, and unless he wants to be served again, he needs to give me the info. He said okay. Yeah, right...
Re: I lost my cool worchid76: ???
I don't know why but I do this to. Don't feel bad. I have this thing with the kids clothing; I'm usually very careful with it and like to buy them nice things. Well when I get it back stained or not get it back at all I get so pissed.
>:( I work hard to be able to keep them looking the way they do so he takes them out on the nice stuff I buy and returns them in other crap I had not even seen before!!!
I do hate the way I act when he is near or on the phone. Feel like a wicked witch :-[
Re: I lost my cool Peaceandquiet: I can't even tell you how many times I have had a yelling match over the childrens clothes.. Now I have no problem with kmart clothes when that's all she can afford and I understand that.. but when she uses the excuse that she can't buy my daughter socks because she has no money.. but the very next day she is going out to a $80 dinner with her boyfriend it kinda strikes a nerve. Or when my son has to come home and sneak out a pair a boxers because mom didn't have any clean.. but yet she's walking around with new clothes.. just drives me up the wall.. The sad part is you don't want to take away from your kids but there has to be a line drawn somewhere.. I just wish the kids weren't in the middle of that damn line.

Well, if that were the case, I wouldn't blame him for being pissed. But since he has stiffed me by not paying any pof our debt over the last year+, he really has no right to complain. I'm not sitting here eating bon bons, and he knows it.
Re: I lost my cool Peaceandquiet: Reread SW I wasn't coming down on you and I wasn't sticking up for him. I think its sh*t that the other parent can't care for the chiildren like we do because they put themselves first.. all I was saying
