Even thou me and the twins mom aren't together we get along pretty
well. We share this kids and all decisions. We decided about a year
ago we were going to get Brittany a pager and decided on a sidekick.
None of the T-moblie stores had them in stock so I was looking at
5 different places on the Internet. The best overall deal was on Amazon
and after the rebate it would cost 80 dollars. We would split the cost
of the pager and the monthly cost for the unlimited data service.
Well my daughter's mom got a wild hair up her ass and found a T-moblie
store here in town that had 3 in stock and bought 2 of them. One for
our daughter and 1 for herself. she paid 300 dollars each and got only a
50 dollar rebate on each one
To top it off on my daughters phone her mom not only got the data
service but got the phone service too. My daughter can speak but she
can't hear well enough to make sense of what the other person is saying.
On Amazon she could have gotten another 50 dollar rebate per phone
for getting the phone service and then they would have cost only 30
dollars a piece. She wound up spending 500 dollars when after rebates
she would only have had to pay 60 bucks.
I told her this was nuts and I was only going to pay what we agreed on.
She said that was fine and told me her mom was paying for the phones
but even if that is true why would she want her mom to pay all that money
when it wasn't necessary.
No I would never really choke her but I'll be dammed if I can understand
why she did this.

good vent bbnt! i uddy how u feel and what u are going thru -- some ex's can be like that -- seemingly hardheaded and not really want to listen to what the ex was explaining especially when involving the child(ren) -- hope u 2 actually agree on whos going to pay what for the service for Brittany
