[the ex]: Tried to call [Daughter]. Noanswer. 9:24 AMMe: There is no excuse for bad phone manners. Sad you lack basic decency. [Daughter] is out with her father, I will have her call when she comes in. -[StepMom] 1:57 PM

Me to [the ex]7/2/11 6:29 PM 6 weeks ago

Me: All set for a call, if you are available. 6:29 PM

[the ex]7/3/11 9:44 AM 6 weeks ago


[the ex]: [StepMom]. Your words were clear. She is out. My word was clear as I said ok. Don't use my phone to make nasty comments to me. That is also stated clearly. 9:44 AMMe: I was in the middle of speaking to you. I was mid sentence actually. And for the record, phone etiquette states you should say hello and goodbye. 9:46 AMMe: I have taught all of my children those manners including [Daughter]. Not hard to do. Hanging up when you are done is simply rude -[StepMom] 9:47 AMMe: And my comment on your manners was not "nasty". I was bringing your uncooth behavior to your attention as every time I answer, you hang up on me. -[StepMom] 9:49 AM

[the ex]: I would like to give [Daughter] to chat with me after her dinner. I am here for a return call. I will also call back before eight. Please give [Daughter] the phone. 5:32 PM[the ex]: These calls I place and my mobile phone service is to ensure my daughter's contact. Please cease using my phone for [StepMom]'s mockery of "pleasant conversation."5:36 PM[the ex]: I would like to give [Daughter] a chance to chat with me after her dinner. I am here for return call. I will also call back before 8. Please give [Daughter] the phone. 5:40 PMMe: If you believe "Hello, how are you?" is a mockery of polite conversation then clearly you need to revisit your telephone manners. 6:57 PMMe: [Daughter] spoke with you for over a half an hour and is in the middle of playing games with her siblings. 6:59 PM[the ex]: Again u text nonsense. Inappropriate use of my phone. I will call for [Daughter]. Or simply have her call me. 6:59 PMMe: I was attempting to speak to you and ask how you were as I waited for [Daughter] to come to the telephone. -[StepMom] 7:00 PMMe: I was surprised by your non-response. I am saddened to see you can not even manage to exchange pleasantries over the telephone. -[StepMom] 7:00 PMMe: Saying "hello" is just basic manners. As it bothers you so, I will refrain from doing so in the future. -[StepMom] 7:01 PM[the ex]: Please place a call so [Daughter] can say goodnight at least. Please stop communicating with me on your interests. I'd am here for my child's thoughts and words. Thx7:02 PMMe: You are the only one communicating "non-sense." 7:04 PMMe: Basic manners is not an interest. It is common courtesy to the woman who is helping to raise our daughter. But you are correct, you have no interest in raising [Daughter] to be a respectful young lady. 7:06 PMMe: [Daughter] spoke with you for over a half an hour and is in the middle of playing games with her siblings. 7:07 PMMe: You must not arrange contact with [Daughter] as she is a child. You must communicate with me and if you can not do so, then do not be surprised if we can not accommodate you.7:09 PM[the ex]: For the third time- stop communicating your thoughts and commentaries to me. Clearly I will not have a goodnight call from my child based on ur text. 7:10 PM[the ex]: Or should I call [Daughter] before eight? Please let me know. 7:12 PMMe: You are simply an absurd woman and you wonder why this situation is going the way it is. 7:13 PMMe: You will do whatever it is you wish to do regardless of what I or anyone else says. 7:13 PM[the ex]: I did not get a yes or no about calling back for [Daughter]. Please be clear in your text on that specific question. Thanks. 7:15 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:17 PM[the ex]: I will leave it to you to allow [Daughter] a goodnight call when the time and events accommodate a call tonight. I'm here waiting. Thanks. 7:19 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:21 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:21 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:21 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:21 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:21 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:22 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:22 PMMe: You did get a response, please feel free to actually read what it is I am texting you. 7:22 PM[the ex]: No goodnight call for [Daughter] was received from you. So sad. Pls tell [Daughter] that her Momma Ioves her. 8:12 PMMe: What does that statement even mean?No goodnight call for [Daughter] was received from you. 8:14 PMMe: [Daughter] is happily playing video games with her siblings, there is nothing sad about it. 8:14 PMMe: And she did get to speak with you for over a half hour this evening. 8:15 PMMe: Lastly, [Daughter] does know you love her. We ensure we tell her that daily as I am sure you do as well. 8:16 PM[the ex]: I'd really like a chance to say goodnight and give my little girl a kiss over the phone. Would u reconsider your restriction of her call time allotted tonight? 8:21 PMMe: Stop twisting my words. There is no "restriction." 8:24 PMMe: [Daughter] is in the middle of a game with her siblings. 8:24 PMMe: If you are done attempting to collect evidence, I would appreciate the opportunity to get back to my family. [Daughter] will speak with you at 7PM tomorrow. 8:25 PMMe: Thank you and good night. 8:26 PM[the ex]: So you will allow [Daughter] to call me back now or when she is done? Yes or no? Simple one word response will suffice. Tnx. 8:26 PM[the ex]: Oh. Just got ur text. That's a NO I see. So sad. 8:27 PMMe: No its not sad, [Daughter] is laughing up a storm at the moment. 8:27 PMMe: She is enjoying playing with her family. She'd rather speak with you tomorrow as she did already speak with you once today. 8:29 PMMe: I'm sure you understand, she is wrapped up in her game and having fun. She doesn't want to stop and would rather speak with you another time since she spoke with you this afternoon. 8:30 PMMe: Thanks and good night. 8:31 PM[the ex]: You just placed a call to my phone. Then you hung up. I redialed and the call was disconnected. Did u change ur mind to let [Daughter] call? 8:33 PMMe: No one called you and I am uncertain why you keep saying my line is disconnected as I am currently texting you. Sounds as if your phone has a glitch or something. 8:35 PMMe: I'm going to go play a game with my kids. Have a good night. 8:35 PM
