Does your ex give the kids things you send?

>> Monday, June 16, 2008

I'm just wondering if any of y'all have the same problem we have. We send the kids packages and they don't get to them in a timely manner. Mail time between the two homes is two mailing days but it'll be a week later and the stepkids are still claiming they haven't received things yet. They don't receive it until after we start asking about it. Coincidence? Not likely.

My devious little mind imagines the ex holding these packages (she checks the mail the stepkids say) and getting a secret thrill from keeping things we send from the kids. When we start asking the kids if they've received them yet and the kids claim "no" then the ex figures it's time to take it out of her hiding spot and give it to them, which she'll do a day or two later. It's how it always goes anyway.

We mailed something to my stepson well over a week ago. Probably more like 10-12 days ago. He still hadn't received it as of yesterday according to him.

It's time to start paying for confirmation tracking I think. In this way, gifts/packages we send the kids can't be kept from them by "anybody" for any length of time anymore (at least not without us knowing about it).

I guess anyway the ex can get her thrills I guess. Goddess knows she's not getting them anywhere else since she's still not dated since dh left her over 13 years ago.

No, I'm not in a sarcastic mood today. Really! Not.

Hmmm...wonder if she opens them all first and then reseals them so the stepkids don't know. She used to open them to see what came in the mail, reseal them, mark them "return to sender" and send them back to us! Always fun and games in a step situation.
