ALMOST called BM last night to come pick up her daughter...

As most of you know, we still take SS3's older sister, SD6 even though she's not my fiance's kid (he helped raise her). I've posted recently about this whole thing changing soon, the reason being FDH is starting a new job and visitation is changing anyway, and her bioDad is in the picture and wanting her more often so why not let her get closer to him, so we're gonna just kind of let go of seeing her all the time or feeling "obligated" to take her.

Yesterday I picked the skids up and right away SD6 is saying, "But I thought we were going to MOMMY'S tonight..." and I said, nope it's Wednesday, we get you every other Weds. Well she made that same comment 10 more times in a whiney tone.....sooo annoying. Mind you, we haven't seen SD6 since last Monday. It truly seems she'd rather just stay at BM's anyway (whom she idolizes).

Then the fighting started between SS3 and SD6...and I was thisclose to calling BM and having her come to pick up SD6 and just being done with it. But I held back. Why?

1. BM would say, "I have plans and I'm not changing them at this late of notice."
2. BM would say, "Well what's going on there that she doesn't want to be there so bad?" and make it look like we're bad parents.
3. It would probably make SD feel bad that we didn't "want" her.

*sigh*

I'm going to convince FDH that tonight is the night to have our talk with SD about not coming over all the time anymore.

We have never been in contact with him...don't even have his number. I guess we could have found it somehow but the thought didn't cross our minds! I will keep that idea for tonight though Smile

Another option would be call BM...and if she says "I'm not changing my plans at this late of notice" then ask her for BioD's # and inform her that since shes not available you will have to see if her father is. She will either come and get her or give you the number. Either way you get rid of your DH's XSD (thats really what she is)

She should come visit your home as a family friend...in a guest capacity. It would be far less confusing for everyone.

That's the plan! We definitely don't want her to feel that we don't "want" her...
