Do I Look Like A Damned Chauffeur?

There comes a time when one gets tired of keeping mum about things that irritate the shit outta them. Although I feel that I am fairly easy-going, and can get along with most anyone, Kai's mother has certainly been a task. Although our relationship has always been "civil," let me tell you that it hasn't been easy. She's the kind of person who feels that she is owed everything, and then when people give her what she wants to make her shut up, she complains about it too. Constantly for the past (?) years, I've tried to contain myself, for the sake of Kai. Lately, I've felt like a pressure cooker, ready to explode. Today, I'd finally had enough, and put my foot down. Something as simple as dropping Kai off is an ordeal. For 5 years now, Kevin and I have picked Kai up from her house to get him for the weekend (fighting with Ashley Phosphate traffic), and dropped him off back home afterwards. Not once has she offered to bring him to us or to pick him up. Since we have moved out to Moncks Corner, and his mother further out in Summerville, Goose Creek has been our midway drop off point. However, she feels this is now "not fair." Her comments of, "Well, I will meet you in Goose Creek this time but I can't always be so accomodating..." have been bugging the piss out of me. Today, I'd had enough.

(my phone rings)...
Her: "I was just wanting to set a time to pick Kai up."
Me: "OK, what time do you want to meet?"
Her: "Well, you can drop him off at Ashley Phosphate at X:00, or my house in Summerville at X:30."
(note that Moncks Corner, at least 30-45 minutes away. Also, her house is less than 10 minutes away from Ashley Phosphate. How convenient for her!)
Me: "Uhhhh, no. How about neither one?! We can meet halfway at the Dojo, like always."
Her: "Well, I've really been going out of my way by meeting you places all those times."
Me: "Meeting us where is out of your way?"
Her: "Goose Creek."
Me: "How is meeting us halfway going out of your way?! You realize we live in Moncks Corner, and Goose Creek is halfway between you and me. I already pick Kai up from school 45 minutes away. The least you could do is meet me halfway to pick him up."
(long silence)
Her: "Tell Kevin to call me when he wakes up from his nap."
Me: "No. I'm not waking him, and I don't know when he'll be up. I'm here now, so tell me what time I'm meeting you at the dojo."
Her: "Well, fine. You can have your pick this time, but I can't always go out of my way there."
Me: "Look, we're not driving to Summerville from our house. We're not driving to Ashley Phosphate. We are meeting in Goose Creek where it is an even distance for us both, and that's the way it's gonna be. Period. So, tell me what time, already."
Her: "7:45."
Me: "Good, thanks."

I know this is not the end of it, but I'm tired of Kevin and I being taken advantage of. I really hate to be ugly, and I know this will cause further strain on our "relationship," but I will only put up with so much BS.
