I just need to vent. BM (Princess) calls this morning - several times - until SO finally calls her back. She doesn't generally call and by the time she'd called the third time we figured something was wrong (he was in the shower and I wasn't about to answer his cell and talk to her).

What was the crisis? What horrible tragedy had befallen her that required SO's attention RIGHT NOW?

Her DH was downsized out of a job. And somehow we're supposed to care about this?

SKids are on SO's insurance. He pays ample CS. They live in a house owned by BM's parents and pay nominal rent. Of all the people I know to have economic crisis hit - they're just about in the best position of anyone to handle it.

But she was upset. And she couldn't talk to her DH about it because he's upset, too. So Princess had to call MY SO to cry to him about it. I'm not sure where she thinks she gets the right to use him as an emotional support. He puts up with it because she plays keep away with the kids when she's mad. And it pisses me off.

I will say he got off the phone with her kinda quick this morning. That's the trouble with calling her back right out of the shower - it leaves open all kinds of ways for me to distract him. }:)
