Saturday I got super PO'd at my ex when I found he hadn't wipes his son's butt good enough. I mean, I went into major shut down mode. I haven't said two words to him since.
Well, today, Monday, my son pooped himself again. I took him downstairs to clean it and my ex met us in the bathroom. I told him he can either take it from here or let me do it. He took care of it, but once my kid came back upstairs I decided to check how clean he was. Well, I had to use two wipes to get him totally clean. There was even a visible brown spot when I started.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills!!!!! This isn't stuff I can just ignore. His ass has to be cleaned!!! This isn't a job you can leave half done. I just want to scream and go running home to my family in Carolina!! But I love my job here.
Oh my god, what do I do?!
I'm looking at renting places, but my ex will still get his son once or twice a week and leave his ass half wiped and take him fishing without a life jacket and not pull his chest strap all the way up in the car seat. The car seat thing happened Saturday too. I have been EDUCATING him on the chest strap since freaking BIRTH!!!!!!!
WHY IS EVERY SINGLE THING HALF ASSED?!?!?!?!
I don't think I'm being a picky, control freak AT ALL!!! Some things seriously have to be done right and consistently!!!!!
I had to ask him to help me

I had to ask him to help me get the screw off my oil pan. This was my first oil change with my new car. He tells me I was tightening it, not loosening it. I know that it is lefty loosy/righty tighty. I know I was doing it right. This is not my first rodeo.
Then he proceeds to loosen it with the same ratchet without changing the direction thus proving I was doing it right, yet I had to EXPLAIN that to him.
Mental. And he's taking me with him lol.
Just a note:

Make sure you document everything you do, dates and all...If it's a new car and you're not using the dealer for service. Because if something goes wrong under warranty they can get out of the warranty. If you have no records...If it's just new to you and out of warranty forgive me :) also I'm impressed a women would try it...Not that women aren't completely capable of being mechanical minded...I've just met so few who wouldn't say something like..." Are you Kidding! If I suggested they change their own oil :)
I started changing my own oil

I started changing my own oil about ten years ago when a Quick change place charged me $40 for a high mileage change. That car lasted me over 400,000 miles and was still running great when the overseas move forced me to sell it. It was a Honda and so is the new one;)
I don't see an oil change affecting the warranty, but you have reminded me to keep that in mind;)
I can keep changing the oil in my own cars, but I knew with my first try things would be on too tight.
The rest of the day went super smooth by the way. I've been in a great mood;)
I think you are saying

I think you are saying document in case they claim I caused damage by not changing the oil.
Gotcha! Thanks!
My car is one of the smart ones. I guess they all are now. It won't stop reminding me to change the oil until I do;)
