POSX

Here's another one from the "My ex is a piece of $h!+" vault...

Older daughter called me a couple of days ago to vent.  A week or so back, my ex talked to my grandson and promised to come see him play lacrosse.  My ex lives about two hours away from older daughter and grandson, and to my knowledge, this would be the first visit since ex moved out of older daughter's house a couple of months back.  Two hours away isn't exactly a vacation trip, but it's a bit more than a daily commute.

Grandson was excited over the prospect of ex seeing him play.  Older daughter wisely recommended that grandson curb his enthusiasm, because ex has a habit of not following through with her promises and commitments...

Fast forward to a couple of days ago... ex called older daughter on Easter.  During the Easter call, ex told older daughter that she had to bail on the visit... so she could work. As older daughter relayed it to me, the lure of double time pay was more important than the commitment to see grandson play lacrosse.  Adding insult to injury, ex asked older daughter to deliver the news to grandson and quickly bailed out of the phone call shortly thereafter, meaning that once again, ex took a shit in older daughter's nest and left older daughter to clean up the mess.

This is nothing new.  The ex has a well-established pattern of making promises and not following through.  She did it to me.  She did it to older daughter.  She did it to younger daughter.  Now she's doing it to first grandson.  She can't pull that crap with me anymore.  The kids have kind of grown immune to it and now treat virtually anything ex says with a grain of salt.  First grandson hasn't yet learned his lesson though.  I know that daughters will work diligently to protect grandsons, but damn...
