The Wipes

Sep 23 7:18am Me: I just remembered T needs wipes at daycare. Can you please send a pack with him when you drop them off?

Sep 23 7:27am G: I am running low on wipes. You took the case I bought at Costco after we split our finances when you moved out. You buy them.

Sep 23 7:31am Me: I HAVE been buying them. Jesus, all I was asking for was 1 little refill pack so he didn’t have to use paper towel today since I wont be there until the end of the day. Nevermind.

Sep 23 7:39am G: I am pretty upset with you over taking stuff that I bought with my money. I am just about out of wipes and I should have most of a case sitting here. Now you want me to re purchase wipes because you forgot to take care of it earlier? I don’t want T to have to use paper towel either. Maybe being reminded how underhanded you decisions were and having them affect someone other than me will help you make better decisions in the future.

Sep 23 7:48pm Me: I was only told T needed wipes when I picked him up on wed. and don’t talk to me about taking wipes when you have been supporting your kids with a mere $150/month for 3 months. Why 3 and not 4? Because one month you didn’t pay anything. I have a pack of wipes in my car but like I said I get to daycare at the end of the day. Sorry I asked you to do something for one of your kids. A $2 pack of wipes. Glad to know the real you.

Sep 23 7:58am G: this isn’t about me. This is about you thinking you could get me to buy stuff for you. 300 per month would be fine but you insisted on the kids being in daycare. It wasn’t a necessary decision. Now I get to listen to S and T cry and moan over not wanting to go there. Yes they have fun but in the end they would rather be at home with me. I think that part time work while attending college and having them with me while you are at work is more and more appealing. Afterall, I can only keep $185/week of pay so why should I work solely to have other people raise my kids?

Sep 23 8:11am G: oh don’t forget the clearing house will collect the $400 per month that was ordered for the last 3 months. They will collect that in addition to the $700/month over from my check until everything is caught up.

Sep 23 8:22am Me: this actually isn’t about you or me. It is simply about T needing wipes. That’s it.

Sep 23 8:26am G: which is your responsibility.
