BM is selfish

After being even more difficult than usual to get a phone call with SD this weekend, BM notified DH she is taking SD on vacation Tuesday - Thursday. Finally today she just shared the address of where they are going for vacation and it is a 4.5 hour car ride. So SD is going to be in a car for 4.5 hours at least the day before SD takes a 4 hour flight here. BM had 2 weeks between SD getting out of school and SD coming here to take SD on vacation and she chooses to take her the day before her flight here? BM has had the flight information for months. Poor kid.

Not to mention then we asked BM to make sure she sends SD with her summer packet and readers from school to work on over the summer. She has the audacity to say SD has improved on her reading so to make sure we keep on top of it. Like get off your high horse, she's been struggling with school since she started in YOUR care. BM also said that oh yeah she needs to look through all that anyway. So typical, SD isn't working on any of the summer stuff from school the entire time she is at BM's (3 weeks of summer) but has the nerve to tell us we need to keep on top of her reading.

Sounds about right *eyeroll* All you can do is just give SD some time to decompress once she gets there. I'm sure you both will be excited to see SD, but undoubtedly exhausted from travel & will need some space.

I feel for you. I have a HCBM also. I wish I could say it gets better but mine hasn't. Thankfully we have this site to vent & people respond with support and care. You seem more thoughtful to your SD feelings. She's fortunate to have you in her life. How old is your SD?

when she says poop like that just give a short laugh and say "yeah we'll do that" and end it. she wants a fight, so she can blame it on you. doesn't mean she gets to have one. I bet SD is very excited to be coming to see you! She seems so happy to be w/ you guys!!
