Update

In the car after Boy Scouts, Matthew asked me if I called Matt. I said yes. He said "Okay." That was it. He didn't ask about anything else.

I asked my sister (before I left to go pick up Matthew) if I should say anything or ask him if he wanted to go to Matt's during Spring Break -- she said no. She said that I should let Matthew ask if he wanted to ask.

I wonder what'll happen next. I know Matt is mad, as usual.

Ack...

I'm trying to be a good mom. Matthew asked me to call Matt and tell him when he was out for Spring Break. I said, "Matthew, wouldn't you like to call and tell him yourself?" He said no. He asked me again to do it today.

Against my better judgment, I called Matt and said, "Matthew asked me to call you and tell you when his Spring Break was. It's the third week in March." Matt said, "Well, are you going to bring him out to see me?" I said that I wasn't planning on it, besides he didn't ask. (The rule of thumb is if he wants Matthew, he picks him up and when I'm ready to get him back, I drive out there.) He said something along the lines of me bringing Matthew out to Little Rock and I said, "Look -- Matthew asked me to call you so I did." Matt then said that I need to bring him out to Little Rock to see him and that he knew I had money because I just cashed a check for his disability. I said once again, "Matthew asked me to call and let you know and that's what I'm doing. You are more than welcome to come out and see him during his Spring Break." He went on to say something about he had "responsibility" and he couldn't come out and he went on and I said, "All I'm supposed to do is tell you" and then I hung up.

I walked away to write this up and he called twice consecutively. I didn't answer. I did what I was asked to do.

What I didn't tell him is that Matthew didn't even want to tell him himself.
