Mom's response Re: Phone Call/Pictures

[Custodial Dad] & [Step Mother]:
Implication would be if not stated.
I have explicitly stated that I did not have a picture of her first day of school, etc.- see emails for details.
(You are fond writing me 'for my edification'- as you state.  This is for your education.)
Please continue to send pictures-  of my child's actual face and her wonderful work- cheerleading, etc.
School work would be great.  Colored copies or the originals would be great.
Report card would be great.  Originals would be great.
Good quality copies- of course, as I am hopeful you would ensure.
Just so I can appreciate her work.
Please prioritize [Daughter]'s call to HER mother.  That is the program of child custody.
Feel free to respond to my unanswered emails to you both.
Please make time for my child's time for a simple phone call with her Mom.
[The Ex]

We are normally able to allow [Daughter] a chance to have an undisturbed phone call but with Cheerleading, homework and an emergency with [Daughter]'s friend's mother this evening, [Daughter] wanted to spend time with her friend instead of on the phone.
I will ensure she has plenty of time to speak with you tomorrow after her appointment with her therapist.
Just want to check to see if you have received the many pictures/emails she has sent you over the past few weeks.  Please let me know directly as you have implied you did not receive any pictures from our daughter directly.
Thanks.

Just to educate you briefly... the term "for your edification" is to perhaps guide you towards correct and moral behavior.  The term to educate is simply to give knowledge to.  And the reason I choose to state "imply" is my polite way of stating that "while I know you have received and viewed the pictures, you are denying it."  I would suggest again to create an account with " my family wizard" to alleviate the back and forth.
If you are not receiving pictures of her face, what are you receiving pictures of?
I will re-forward all the pictures [Daughter] has sent previously, this evening.  How are the pictures coming that you promised to send of [Daughter] from 2005 - 2009?  I'd love to see those as well.
Do you find the irony in this email or is it just me?
Are you aware that Ms. [Teacher] and [school] are more than capable of sending you all the information you are requesting.  And with your weekly (telephone) conferences with the Principal and Ms [Teacher], have you have not been able to secure the information?  I know I suggested a multitude of times for you to do so as the school is more than capable of meeting your needs etc.
What "program of child custody?" I am not certain what you are talking about. [Daughter] was able to reach you, perhaps she just chose not to stay on the telephone for long.  The priority lies with [Daughter] having a normal life and less about you and I.
And as a PS, I am sure there are at least a dozen questions I would like answered that you have failed to address.  I believe I answered all of your questions this evening.
