I hope the asshole realizes that if he decides to forego visitation with his kids, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay support. Because he sounds like that kind of asshole.

Bitches, I'm so sorry you're having a bad day here. {{}}
Things will get better. They must, and we're doing our best, so if they won't... we'll file a complaint. Or just take the whole fucking Earth down with us.
"what a weird coincidence - my parents are in town too! But why not combine parents visiting with playgroup?"
That's what I read.
ION, People Who Have No Business Being in the Service/Food Industry: if I tell you 3 times within less than 30 seconds my order, and then you get it wrong, I'm gonna slightly hate you. That is all. Also, if I'm walking into your store and you're doing everything in your power to ignore the consumers' presence (because yes, it really does take 4 people to flip a freaking toast), I'm gonna walk away within 2 minutes.
People. People who avoid from me food are the worst kind of people.

I read the email in the bitchy tone. I wouldn't really be interested in belonging to a playgroup with that mother.

I also have to say that though I can't watch it at the moment, Wake Up With Hugh Laurie is the best idea ever.

I gave the mother the benefit of the doubt when I answered the email, but still pointed out (in the nicest way possible) that my parents' visit was not her parents' visit.
The asshole is a new development in this fellow's character - he was apparently a latent asshole. I'm actually waiting for the announcement that he has a new, intellectually stimulating 19 yr old girlfriend, since that seems like it should come next in this mid-life crisis cliché.

Are hair plugs involved yet? I would love it if he got hair plugs.

That is one thing I have to give STBX. He moved across two states and found a new job so he could stay near his son. Now that we have split he is finally turning into a grown up. Kinda.
