Just as I predicted

BM did not call SD yesterday like she asked to do so on Sunday. Not only did she not call yesterday, but she didn't message to reschedule or anything. At least SD is young, so she doesn't know any better and we don't tell her that BM asks to call or mentions calling because she never follows through on it. Bright side is our evening was uninterrupted by BM, other than me making a comment at 9 pm to bf saying surprise, surprise, BM didn't call, ask to call, or message about it. To which bf told me he forgot all about it because he wasn't believing she really would anyway. This is another reason why bf refused to set up a call schedule with BM because he didn't want to plan our summer around it especially when she wouldn't follow it anyway. 

Anyone want to take any guesses when she will mention calling again or actually try and call? I personally bet maybe this weekend she will ask to call this week, but then not follow through, but who knows. All I know is I am happy there will be no exchanges for a while and the divorce is done, so right now nothing to complain about.

Plus, SD loves her new room, we upgraded her to our extra queen bed and sold the bunk beds. 1. because we don't need them as we only have SD now, 2. SD is only here for the summer and a week in the spring and we will be moving to the west coast in a year, so her room will be a guest room from September - May, except for that one week we get her this year 3. We did not want to put them together to take apart again in a year. So when we picked her up Sunday we hyped it up to she got a big girl bed and she loves it! All her stuffed animals fit in bed with her, plus she rolls around so much so it is perfect, plus if/when we have guests they have an adequate bed too. I hung some decor items on the wall for her yesterday, one of which was my pretty butterfly painting on wood, she said "that is so beautiful," it was adorable! She is now back in day care, we took her out from March - May because I was working from home every day and with COVID we didn't want her exposed unnecessarily and bf was home almost every day too. SD is super excited to be back and school and get to play with her friends, so she is doing nothing but thriving right now and that makes us very happy.

So glad SD is doing great and you have some uninterrupted time! After this whole mess you three definitely deserve it!

Glad to hear she likes her new room. Kids always love that kind of stuff and its usually those little things they always remember. Good call on not telling her about the BM calls or lack thereof really. SS's BM likes to do this. She only really made regular calls when Stepmom2 would call her every week to speak to her other child.
