SD - Kindergarten

So if anyone read my earlier blog from today, they saw that SO and I messaged BM yesterday wanting to know what school SD was going to be attending for kindergarten. We wanted this info for many reasons:

1. To be able to find out when the 2021 - 2022 school year is going to start so we can pick our 6 weeks of summer prior to April 1, following the court order

2. Have the information of the school so when it gets closer we can reach out to SD's teacher and make an introduction so not left out of any important information

3. See if BM really is moving or if she is staying in the area

 

Yesterday amongst all the drama, BM said she was not sure which elementary school it is in her county, there are two and it is one of them. She also said enrollment for kindergarten is not until April 23 so she will not have any info until then. SO reiterated how he has to let her know prior to April 1 what 6 weeks of summer he wants and since we are moving we need to know this sort of info as far ahead as we can to make the appropriate accomodations for SD's transportation, visit, etc. Again, BM went on this whole excuse train of reasons why she doesn't have this info, blah, blah, blah.

So today, SO and I googled "what elementary school will my child attend in (county, VA)" and guess what? The first result is a search tool made by the county that you type your address and it tells you which school your child will attend. So we typed in BM's address and ta-da, there it was the school that SD will be attending. Took all of a minute to do. So we looked at the website for the school and they do not have the 2021 - 2022 calendar up yet, not surprising, so we will be calling tomorrow and asking what the est. date for the next school year will be. Also while browing their website we found out the enrollment is online and available NOW. There is nothing about April 23 and they want you to enroll your children online, not come into the school, so just more bs from BM.

BM probably does not know all this because she has not done any research into any of it yet, but I also have a part of me that feels like or she does know, but she wants to be difficult or she wants us to not provide what weeks of summer by April 1, so then by following the CO, she can tell us what 6 weeks of summer we get. Not going to happen. If she doesn't know, we will not be doing BM's job and informing her of this information. Already wasted time and did her job by telling her what the court order says yesterday and many many times before this.

The county school system may have a general calendar that would apply to "all schools".. at least for big breaks etc....

But I think due to covid they don't have anything like that on their website currently so SO will just call tomorrow

You dont need to handhold her, for schooling, let her do her job.

I got into our parent portal and SD14's google classroom and helped her get out of f-zone, meanwhile toxic troll couldnt be bothered, even though she set herself up as primary contact then asks dh what assignments are due, she thought only art.

Im like, eff that. I made a check list of all asignments for 3 classes, and so I say to you, bm can eff off.

Yes Im punchy today.

Sounds like you have a BM with LAS - LAzy-A$$ Syndrome, and she just cant be bothered, because single mother...

I don't disagree with what you are saying even if you're a bit punchy! Nope, we put the 5 minutes in to find out easily accessible information that BM is supposed to be doing and sharing and we aren't going to do the job for her. We also won't tell her what the court order says anymore just to reference it the next time she says incorrect info. Not our job in the slightest!

I agree with clove---

Drop the rope for once. LET THIS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO have your future husband and his x figure this out.

As far as picking summer, dh can send her a note with option 1 AND option 2  Bing bang boom. Of course you know she will cause trouble.  Heck, you can offer option 3 eow (LOL)

Try try try to relax. She is only in Kindergarten. You have a very long road ahead. You will drive yourself crazy.

Congrats on wedding date.
