I hear it never gets any better either..UGH!
My sister in law was divorce for 5 years when she met my brother, she has a 8 year old and let me teel you when she come back for a month at her Dad's house she is a b*tch. But when she is here she is sweet as honey. Amazing how they change. But then her Dad does teh same thing my ex does, plays her emotions when she is there, giving in to her every want...that's the only whay they know to parent I guess. Give them what they want and you don't have to deal with them for another week (or 6 months in her case)
