In our case, DH approached BM and thought it was too risky for Skids to come to our home right now, especially since DH is immune-compromised and BM's husband and stepson work retail. BM at first agreed and then pitched a fit, saying DH was "selfish" for not using his EOWE visitation. She also then said we were just as likely to expose the kids as they were to expose us...um, okay, BM, isn't that a good reason for you to want to keep them at our house. She then told DH he would owe her more child support if he didn't take his weekends...again, BM, not quite how that works and if that were true, you should  have been paying DH for all the extra weekends he's taken to help you out?

This is the same woman who spent a year battling with DH in court to reduce his time and then told DH that she wished he would just work with SSs to figure out if they want to come to our home or not. Throughout that entire ordeal, she told DH he was "selfish" for wanting SSs to keep their EOWE schedule. 

Can't reason with crazy!

Nope, sometimes you just can't win! Soon this will all pass over and it will be back to crazy as usual >:)

I feel all visitation swaps should stop immediately!!  This is not forever people but could be to some if this is not taken seriously!!  Unless you need the other parent to have the child while the other parent goes to their mandated job,  do what is best for your kids and society and remain home!!!  It is simple!  Face time or Skype.  It is selfish to keep up these visit schedules.  

I may get back lash but this is reality!  We need to stop the spread of this vius!!

I agree with you wholeheartedly! In our state, the governor specifically said "no sleepovers"...how is a custody swap different than a sleepover in terms of disease transmission.

In our case bm announced 2 weeks ago that ss would remain with her. Turns out she's still working and her bf is 'babysitting'. To add to that his kid is going back and forth between the 2 houses, AND he is taking both kids to his gym to do his daily show off videos for social media. Totally necessary journey or what?! I was so glad my 4yr old is sheltered from that s show but as of yday she was crying to see him, so dh has today taken her to do a distanced walk with him. I said make sure he's on 1 pavement and you 2 the other!!!
