no energy for lifting. finished "ready player one" last night.
lunch: hell i dunno, chicken i guess
told fb about my album.. no response. great.

ex: i'm still working out playdate plans. ask her if there is anything specific she'd like to do this wkend....keeping in mind that outdoor activities are not an option with the heat index as it is.
me: i told her last night and she has told me repeatedly "i refuse to go"
ex: she is not the decision maker.
me: i'm just telling you what she said. that's why i said earlier that this weekend is probably not a good idea.
ex: the less she comes the less she's going to want to come she needs to come this weekend because i won't see her again for a month.
me: so you'd subject her to this visit against her will?
ex: she never wants to come p! why should this week be any different? if we never make her do things she doesn't want to do, she never will come.
me: i would really like to take her to church so how about Friday to Saturday
ex: if you want to come get her...
me: you're still focused on teaching her a lesson, instead of genuinely being there for her when she needs you. even after all these years, it's still all about you. how disappointing. from now on, don't do this pre-visit "what does she want to do" nonsense every time. you should know your kid well enough to have an idea what she'd like to do by this point.
me: why don't you plan an outing or a playdate this weekend and take her for a few hours, so the tension of the overnight stuff is out of the picture and she feels more comfortable with you in her own environment
ex: we switched so she could go out of town with you on her weekend with me... she can either come this weekend or next. Her choice
