Scheduling

Kirby's picture

Having some scheduling issues. Background is we have had a set custody schedule for the past year (ish) since dh first went to court. Since bm moved lost get job and just generally has been a crazy, awful annoying pos that has changed a million times in the past month or two. Every other day something else. We wrote up a year schedule they could agree to since the old schedule doesn't work anymore and sign because ss is in school and we should all be able to plan our years without scheduling arguments every week. They both signed.

Listening at school

So ss has been having trouble listening to his teacher in school. His teacher has pulled all 3 of us aside and I guess told his dad he is out of control. He's had the occasional incidence in the past and doing as told has always been a slight issue. For the record, great kid, love him to death, we all have our struggles, up and downs. So we've been working on it. Not seeing much success yet.

Listening the first time

SS5 has always been a little entitled I the way that he does what he wants and has a hard time listening if it something he doesn't want. He was raised by his gma a lot as a child and she's wrapped around his little finger (which is fine, she's his gma not his mom) because they were 20 when they had him and but his mom babies and bends to him just as much. Apologies for the awkward run on sentences.

Funny story

Funny story my dad told me I'd forgotten about. He was a parent volunteer at something my little brothet did in elementary and one of the other kids had asked my dad if he could set up a playdate with my brother. He went to ask my brother and my brother said he didnt want to. My dad said why hes a great kid. My brother said if you like him so much, why dont you have a playdate with him. Mike dropped.

Hoping one day things will settle...

Does that ever happen? I'm not asking for perfection, just a little less wishy washy planning and drama every other day. We drafted a custody schedule for the upcoming year with everyone's days and times and holidays all worked out and pretty and they signed a consent form so they have something now before they are modifying custody forms officially.

Wedding.

DH's mom got remarried this weekend and I was the maid of honor. It was really great except that BM came :(. She invited her because she didn't know who would have SS that weekend and he was the ring bearer. I played nice I always do and will continue to do so unless I completely break Wink but if that happens I'll end of in jail for life and won't really have anything left to worry about. I just think it's shitty for her to come.
