Except we need to pick him up tomorrow night for Father's Day. I'm evil; I did try to plant the seed with dh while he was complaining about ss ""well you could always skip the Father's Day visit and we can celebrate when he gets back" ( ss is with is full time).

Dh didn't bite. Oh well.

Two glorious weeks! Two glorious weeks. And then four more later this summer.

Two Days in With Summer and So Far...

I've had to get on SS14's ass for scraping gum off of his shoe inside the house - like literally using the edge of a wall to get gum off of his shoe.

And then last night I see a pile of sunflower seeds on the floor between the couch and a chair. I can see them because I'm sitting on the floor. I immediately get on DH about it as he's sitting right next to me and he's ALWAYS eating sunflower seeds. He says it wasn't him.

Guess who it was? Yep.

And he says, "what? I just dropped one or two". Um hell no, there's a full on pile on the floor.

Can Someone Tell Me Why this Is?

DH has primary custody of SS14 and BM sees him eowe. DH went through the department of child support services to try and get an order for child support. They asked for income information from both parties, set up a court date and at the court date they assumed BM was the one asking for support and that she was the custodial parent.

They issued an order stating that she was to provide medical and pay half of all health expenses. They also stated that the court date was NOT about child support; it was to establish parentage.

Summer reading ... And then there is ss14

Today is the first official day of summer. I offered to take the kids to an amusement path but they were all tired from the end of year field trips and swim days.

I gave them their lecture that they would not be spending the summer inside playing video games and watching tv. They were expected to be up and dressed by 9 and then out of the house for the day: library, pool, bikes, planned activity w friends - whatever. I'm trying to get them a bit more adventurous and learn about the world.

Lol. SS14 a thought he was going on a date.

The kids all know they aren't allowed to date. They are able to go places in mixed groups but we will also have ss14 go with dd13 (or even ds11 or ds10) if we think there is any funny business. We also like to encourage the kids to get out if the house more because all these lazy kids ever want to do is sit in the house. So I'll make plans to send them to the library, mall, movies, park, teen church activities, etc for a few hours here and there. We are also testing out their independence and trying to get them more into the world.

Anyway...

If I'm not Venting about the skid then it's the damned dog

Dh and ss14 have a pit bull that is generally ignored and destroys things. We are in the process of redoing the yard and investing about $15k into the yard.

First step was for dh to build a dog run. He has built and rebuilt it stronger and stronger several times already because the dog chews through the chain link. I have tried to enforce the rule that the dog gets walked twice a day minimum and the agreement has been that if the dog is not being supervised, he will be in the run.

Update: BM Gave the Address... and the drama ensues

So DH asked BM for the address, per the CO. She responded, "give me the name of the school he'll be attending next year, per the CO."

Lame.

DH responded, "Blah, blah school - just like SS told you this weekend"

Then she gave the address.

Later that night at 7:30 she texted DH, "It's 7. where's my son. It's time for our call" Dh had SS call her but texted back, "it's 7:30"

How Would You Play this if this were Your 14 year old?

BM moved out of her GF's home where GF lived with her parents. Apparently the parents are done with BM and they aren't happy with her lieng, cheating ways.

So BM now has her very own apartment. She has not given DH the address.

Now that BM has "no adults in the house", she can do whatever she wants. Her behavior has already been spinning out of control the past 6 months with frantic calls, texts, professions of love, professions of giving up her miniscule amount of custody of SS14, and now basically being kicked out of her lover's home.
