Good morning guys. So BM asked us to change our custody schedules to week on week off, we currently do 2 days a week each and EOW. We said fine - let's try it starting next week which means this week we only have SKs our regular 2 days since this weekend coming is BM's. Rewind to 2 weeks ago - BM asked us to have the kids on her 2 scheduled days which meant we had them for 9 days since it was our weekend also. The day she was supposed to pick them up for her 5 days she calls DH and says she is in another state, she has problems with her brand new car and won't be back for another 4 days (what a crock of s***) - so we then have kids for 2 weeks without a break. Both SK's have ADHD and a lot of behavioural issues. The day she was to return she was supposed to pick them up at 11.00 but what a surprise she doesn't make it back until late afternoon and wants to do grocery shopping first so we drop kids off at 5.30pm on Saturday night. She then will have them for a week returning them last Saturday as that was our weekend. She says she can't return them Saturday because she is out of town and will return them Monday - we say OK because kids want to see her - they miss her - it's natural. Fast forward to yesterday and BM has SD call me to tell me it our weekend this weekend. I say no, your mom is mistaken, may I talk to her please? What ensued was the post pathetic display of selfishness and immaturity I have ever heard. She starts screaming at me that this is our weekend because she had them last weekend and if she has them again this weekend she will have had them for 3 weekends in a row. Ugh, excuse me, this is your scheduled weekend, your last scheduled weekend you only had them for Saturday night and Sunday and you had them last weekend because YOU said you were out of town and could not return them to us despite the fact that my SD told us they were home all weekend (they live 10 mins from us). Is all of this our fault? I think not. She is so mad I can't even make out what she is saying - I tell her she needs to speak to my DH because I won't listen to her tirade and she hangs up. She kept them last weekend assuming we'd take them this weekend plus the next 7 days so she could go out of town with BF. My SS's teacher told us she couldn't make PTC next week as she is out of town all week. Anyway she then has my SD call ME back to tell me she does not need us to take them on her days next week. I said I was sorry SD was hearing all of this but can I speak to mom again? She announces she is going for full custody and hangs up again. So my DH had been beside me the whole time, she refused to talk to him. When he called her she would not take his calls so he left a message for her. When she called back I was very proud of the way he handled himself. He basically told her that it was ridiculous that she would even suggest seeking full custody simply because she had made an assumption with the schedule and was annoyed it wasn't working out for her. She hangs up on him when she doesn't hear what she wants to hear. An hour or two pass and then she starts sending my husband pics of the kids in Halloween costumes. She then calls him up and says she was thinking of bringing them over to his parents and were they home? My DH asks why would my parents want to see you - you just announced you were going after full custody (she does not ever see/speak to his parent) so she hangs up yet again. We are both just amazed at how this grown 36 year old woman behaves. I feel like buying her a self-help book on anger management. I mean how can someone get so bitter and twisted about something so easily resolvable. And if you have such a hard time taking your kids on your scheduled days how in the heck are you going to manage full custody. Give it a rest. I don't need the drama.
