Shit never changes, last week I got a text from dee saying I owed my eldest 53 dollars pocket money, true I did, she said that she needed a new softball bat and that it was an idea for what she might like to spend the money on, I said that I would let my daughter decide what she wanted to do with the money and that I would talk with her about it on the weekend.
Now I had not the money that week because I had lost some cash somewhere during the week and couldn’t afford to give it to her so I was going to tell her that on the weekend and let her know that whatever she wanted to do with the money she could next week when I would be able to give it to her, which I thought was fair enough and I’m sure my daughter would have been ok with it.
So on the Saturday of that week dee asked if I could pick the girls up at the local shopping center as they were going to be there so I said ok sure, when I got there my eldest said that she needed 50 bucks for a new softball bat, then dee turned up and said that she had a bat on hold in the sports store around the corner, now I didn’t know anything about this and I didn’t say that I was bringing any money with me, sept the $300.00 in maintanance that I owed dee. So when I said that I didn’t have her pocket money dee got mad and said “ Oh well I guess Ill have to pay for it out of my money then, AGAIN” which I thought was unfair.
And then my daughter started to look sad because she thought she was not going to get her bat that her mum had obviously told her she was going to get, so I told dee that I would give her the money back on Sunday when I dropped the kids off if she paid for it then, this was ofcourse a lie because I didn’t have the money to start with but I was pissed off that dee had organized this on the assuption that I would have the money with me so I lied to her to get the hell,out of there and to get my daughter her bat, probably not what I should have done but im not known for making rational descisions am I.
