First of all, my stepson called yesterday and acted like he was the one who asked to call. Then his mother gets on the phone with one of her rants. I think she just uses her son to get my husband on the phone, when she is really the one who wants to talk to him! Anyway, she was trying to blame us for my stepson getting on the school bus instead of waiting for a ride from her on her day.
My stepson rides the bus everyday except for the days she picks him up. She thinks that she gets an extra 20 min. with him if she picks him up. I think she is just having issues!! By the time she gets him home, the bus would almost be dropping him off anyway.
So, somehow it is our fault because my stepson got confused and thought he was coming to our house and not her house. The first problem is that because of the holiday in Nov., my stepson was at her house a lot more than normal, so he thought for sure that this past weekend he was coming here. Plus, he had his soccer awards on Fri. night and we said we would see him then. However, she is the one who took him to the bus stop on Fri. so why didn't she make sure he knew he was going to her house.
I told my husband that he should have told her that it is not really our problem and she is the one who won't let my stepson ride the bus on her days. The bus stop is the same for both houses so it isn't like she has to go out of her way. My stepson is the kind of kid that needs a regular routine and if he has to try and figure out which day to ride the bus and which day not to ride the bus, it is hard for him. I was surprised that he has done so well this long.
She just needs to get off of her high horse and do what is best for the child and take responsibility if she is only doing what is best for herself. She needs to quit blaming us!!!!
