Ex's Are Like Assholes: Take Five

Sorry, but I guess I'm going to have to talk about the ex again. I mean, where else can I rant about his stupidity and ass-ness?

About two weeks ago I asked my ex if he could help out with cheer camp since I was dishing out a LOT of money for cheer uniforms. Cheer camp was $110 for both of my girls, and the person from UCA came out to our school to teach it. Anyways, my ex said that he would send a little extra on Friday, August 15th, when he paid me the child support (cs is due by the 15th of each month). Well, Friday came and went, then the weekend, too. He hadn't transferred any of the monies into my account until yesterday. Two things happened that have me pissed, but I guess one is partly my fault. One, since child support is the only type of money that goes into my account, I didn't have enough to cover the check written for the rest of the camp/uniforms. Yes, that's partly my fault, but had I known he wasn't going to be true to his word (which I really should have known, because he's a pretty good liar), I could have asked the cheer coach not to cash it until Monday or Tuesday. Now, I have to go sort some things out at the bank because of some fees that I don't think they should have charged me. Two, he thinks $20, yes, that's TWENTY dollars over the cs amount is helping with the cost of these uniforms, camps, and all their other extra curricular activities. It doesn't even make a dent. I guess I should be grateful he gave anything at all, but at times, I have to wonder. It's o.k. to buy your son personalized basketball shoes, help out with his activities, spend shit loads on your new baby, but rarely do anything for your girls?

There was a message on Miss La-Di-Da-Di's phone a few days ago:

Hi, this is your dad. Do you remember me? Do you still need/have (can't remember the exact word) a dad? You guys haven't been calling me. I know that school starts soon, so if you guys need anything let me know.

Yeah, right. When they heard that message, they were like, "He never calls us, so why should we call him?" Did you know, just the other day, he actually blamed me for them not calling because I don't let the kids use their cells too much in the day? Two of the kids made us have a $300 cell bill. I told him to call the house. I also tell them to call him on the house phone. He says that the girls say it's not working. I said to him (all this via text mind you, as that's the only way he'll communicate with me, because he doesn't like to be pointed out that he's wrong a lot of the time)that the house phone has been working for over THREE weeks now (we have Vonage and our router for the phone was bad). He should figure out how much he's fucking up if the girls don't call or don't even call back with the house phone. Duh!

Here's an irrelevant side note:
There was no football confessional yesterday because one of the cohorts was made at Showboat and the other cohort. Apparently, they keep calling him 'rock'. I don't think they call him 'rock' because he's buff/big (he's not), but the other reason why people call someone 'rock' (as in 'dumb as a rock'). He said that he wouldn't mind it if they didn't just keep on and on, but they never stop even after he asks them to. They say they're just teasing. Stinky had to tell those two to stop it. If someone says that they don't want you to keep doing something you should stop especially if they're your friend. Uhhh, Showboat hasn't quite got the concept of that yet. He used to do that to my girls even when asked to stop. He's pretty selfish and disrespectful of people most of the time, but I guess everyone has some flaws, right?
