Happy Friday! Let's see if Bm follows thru w/ her threats

I'm anxious to see if Bm is really going to follow thru with her threat to W/h Ss from Dh this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if she did because Dh really crushed her power trip last weekend for the first time ever and so I'm thinking she's probably still seething because to her this is all a game, she doesn't care that it hurt Ss not to see his dad. I'm kind of hoping she does w/h him so it can start a fire under my Dh's ass to finally get his parenting plan in place so his he has his visitation schedule established in writing and we won't have to deal with her crazy demands anymore... well, I mean we'll still have to deal with them but she won't have the power to hold crap over Dh's head. blah.

On another note if she does w/h Ss it'll be kind of nice, I haven't had a weekend alone with Dh in the longest... just too bad funds are tight considering I only got paid for 6 working days on my pay check today because of this damn shut down. I've been working for the last 10 days w/o paying and being told we'll be reimbursed when the shut down is over... oh okay congress... what do I do until then?? yikes.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Smile

I thought GUBM withholding visitation/phone time from FDH would light a fire under his ass to do something about his situation, too. It hasn't. FDH was supposed to have SD every weekend when we lived in NJ. GUBM just randomly decided it was going to be EOWE when she moved two hours away to south Jersey. When we moved to PGH, SD was supposed to visit on holiday weekends from school, one week during her Christmas break, her spring break, and at least four weeks every summer - so she would spend the equivalent of two to three months of time with us. So far, she has only visited for one week over her first Christmas break after we moved and four weeks last summer, and we've been living here for two years. FDH and SD were supposed to be able to skype at least once a week and talk on the phone three times a week minimum. They skyped once the first month we lived out here before GUBM let the cable bill go into collections and SD's rarely available to talk to FDH on the phone. GUBM withholds SD from FDH bigtime. And it's awful. I thought for sure it would encourage him to do something, but, there's a level of learned helplessness with my FDH that I do hope your DH does not have.

ETA: Sorry to hear that you're being impacted by this damn shutdown!

Being that I've been on my Dh to establish his parenting plan I fear that he probably won't move his feet but a girl can dream! lol. I get so angry when we talk about it because instead of the court/mediator just figuring that damn parenting plan for them, they gave Bm and DH the paperwork and said "turn it in when you finish it" and the dumbasses never filled it out... I guess Dh liked being manipulated. gah. So in our case, child support is all established and he's getting credit for his time that he has ss5 however he has nothing in writing because they never turned in the parenting plan. I actually made Dh go meet with Bm last year to sit down and do the paperwork however she refused to go to the notary so what they filled out wasn't even valid because they met at like mcdonalds or something but she wouldn't go to the notary... which ultimately I'm thankful for because stupid Dh let Bm actually do the writing on the parenting plan and she basically put that he was to pay for everything (extracurricluars/medical copays etc), she put that she claimed Ss on taxes every year, Dh would cover all daycare costs but was telling dh that they'd be splitting it all... so THANKFULLY she refused to go to the notary because if they did Dh would have screwed himself. ugh, it makes me sick thinking of how stupid he can be sometimes.

Thank you for your words Smile it's hard right now. It pisses me off a little because most fed employees are being furloughed and from the talks i've heard they will be reimbursed for their time off, where as everyone where I am are actually working but not being paid... we'll get it later but we're at work for free right now basically.

Woah, that's some luck that BM refused the notary! She could have made out bigtime with that crock of a plan!

Wow, I still can't believe you and your coworkers are working without pay :/ I work at the VA so I am one of the few who wasn't furloughed, but, I'd much rather be furloughed and know that my salary was going towards someone else (I'm not a medical worker, I just work in research, but we're somehow deemed more essential than other federal employees???)
