Just read the CO...

Once again BM refuses to read the CO and asks if DH has the skids for the holidays. She texts DH yesterday this demanding text message that says "I need to know if you have the kids for thanksgiving you need to give this message your prompt attention and answer it in a by the end of the day because I need to know right away!" LOL She is a piece of work. Hello check the freaking CO and you would know. Why does she feel that DH still has to spoon feed her through life!? DH and I were both laughing about it and he told me that he ignored her.

Tankh.. why doesn't he just tell her. " Yes.. I do.. or No I don't per the CO.  Do you need me to send you another copy for your records so you can check this stuff yourself?"

I mean, I get that it is annoying that she asks things that she could find out on her own.. but the passive aggressive refusal to answer just ends up with a ratcheting up of drama with her right? and by association the kids as well?

Because he has tried that and it doesn't seem to work. Ignoring her is the best route at this point he says. I mean the message was pretty demanding she could be more polite I mean after all you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar you know. BM will cause drama whenever she feels like it whether my DH answers the text messages or not. It really is out of my control if he responds to her or not. I just thought it was funny that after 4 years she still cant read the CO and follow it. I do get what you are saying though ESMOD. Smile

Yeah, I'd ignore her. She just wants attention.  It's not passive-aggressive, it's an appropriate thing to do for someone who is being annoying.

I think she does this because she knows it gets under your skin. I think responding back with either yes or no, and here is the court order for your reference moving forward.

Every time BM pulls this crap DH has send her a picture of the CO highlighted for the question she is asking. I mean it is really getting old. She has been doing this crap for 4 years.

Just respond with "it's in the court order" and ignore her after that. More than likely she is just trying to get his attention to start a conversation even if it is a fight.

If BM has been sent the CO and even highlighted it multiple times, I'd ignore her as well. You can't keep entertaining crazy. She's capable of reading and finding the info out herself and give it prompt attention if it's that serious. Kills me that it's expected to keep playing her games just because she's bored and needs attention.

Thank you Siemprematahari that is exactly what I think. She does it on purpose I think and like others have said she is trying to get under DH's skin.

Lol. I would reply with my preference Everytime. I'd wager if she doesn't like the answer she checks the court order anyway

I’m a bit surprised he hasn’t moved their communication to email only, because this right here is a shining example why she should have zero texting privileges. 

Perhaps he can show her that he will only respond to her non time sensitive inquiries (within 24 hours, of course) if she asks them via email?
