but does anyone thinks it's weird that we haven't heard anything from Bm since prior to June 15th when ss came here for one of the two, two week periods of summer vacation that he's here with no breaks? She hasn't called ss. She hasn't called to see how his summer school went as yesterday was the last day.
Ss hasn't said that he wanted to call her so we haven't pushed the issue. He knows he can call her but hasn't talked about her much at all. We haven't brought it up though.
Fourth of July weekend is coming up and ss is here for that too. That means that he won't see Bm until July 10th.
So now the question is, is she up to something? Does she has a new guy keeping her busy? Is she going to chew ss for not calling to check on her?
For right now, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth but it makes you go-hmmmmmm.

I kinda posted about the same
thing earlier...... Our Bm had been too quiet for too long. It always makes you wonder doesn't it? It's sad they we as SM's, seem to be conditioned, like Pavlov's dogs, to be on the look out when things are too quiet........Beware!
if only...
we could have these bm free times to enjoy rather than to sit and worry what the heck is up their sleeve for their next installment of drama.
Zippy's BM
Is very similar. Zippy must initiate any contact with his BM-(her excuse is "Zip and her do not have a "phone" relationship")-my observation is they really do not have a relationship period.
If DH did not push the EOW contact, in all honesty there would be no contact between Zippy and his BM.
When DH and BM had Zippy 50/50-as soon as DH dropped Zip back at BM's -Zip was on the phone asking "When are you coming back to get me Daddy?"
I do not know what goes on in some BP's minds -S'n'M (Zips BM Ms. Smoke & Mirrors) has really washed herself of Zippy (wish Zippy would just wash period) since we have sole custody-she just lives in La La Land and prances around free and easy, telling everyone within ear shot what a great Mom she is....
Oh -and if Zippy does not call Mom on the odd week-it is weeks before she will entertain having him at all....

I totally understand what you are saying here. DH and I were talking about the same thing yesterday - BM has been too quiet lately.
Whenever she crawls into her hole and lays low, we always get some big "kablam!" thing that happens. Last time she moved away for a few months and before that she remarried with out telling us until after (or even telling the kids) and before that she tried to move out of state with the kids, etc etc etc. It's never ending.
Just enjoy the peace for now, it's the quiet before the storm.
We have that deal going on but it's b/c BM is pulling out
So I have no idea. BM doesn't really call for SD anymore, and often doesn't even return SD's calls when SD initiates. Ironically, she now seems to prefer telling DH what her plans are directly, because they usually involve not taking SD, and I think she doesn't have the courage to chance hearing a disappointed or angry reaction from SD.
I would say, ENJOY the peace and quiet and do not question the Gods for smiling upon your house!
