Divorcee Parents Still need to say, "Thanks"

It's a Win, Win Situation. Kids got to see a giraffe. And I didn't have to sit through 'EPIC'. Divorcee Dad can go fish in a lake LATE!

Friday night I had taken my son Griffin to the movies to see the new Pixar film 'EPIC'. I thought it would be fun to make it a Play-Date, so I called another Mom, Janie. She declined the offer but thanked me. In turn, she asked if I could take BOTH of her children (the nerve). I felt okay on the spot, but made sure Janie gave me enough ticket-money for BOTH of her kids. So on our way, my son Griffin's friend answered his cell phone in the car. It was his father whom is divorced from Janie, calling me to make sure his kids don't arrive home late because they're going fishing in the morning.

Divorcee Dad failed to say thank you (AS USUAL) for taking his kids
.
Even if Divorcee Dad was not part of the arrangement with the Ex-Wife Janie, it would have been Proper Etiquette for Divorcee Dad to mention,
"Hey Eve, thanks for takin' my kids to the movies. Have fun."

But Nope! Nada!So we had a blast.  Stayed out late!  And watched Hang Over III instead!
*BOOM!*
