...and it starts

This is a normally scheduled weekend with SS8 - so why is it that this whole concept of established EOW visitation seems to be foreign to her although she's been doing it for the last 6 years.

So DH calls her to find out what is going on about this weekend and stupid BM schedules a house showing when she's supposed to be dropping off SS. Apparently, her sister and brother-in-law are flying in to look at possibly buying her old house and then they're going out to dinner, and then when they're done, she'll bring SS to us. Her "best estimate is between 8 and 9."

Deadbeat Moms

I am concerned about all the posts I see about BMs who won't comply with residential custody/visitation orders. I was told by the police department that every time a court order is disobeyed, the police should be called. That is in Illinois. What concerns me equally, is the bias in favor of the BM, even when she is not the better/fitter parent. While all is not perfect for women, yet, in the US, barriers to education and employment have been removed. I do not see a reason for a mother to stay home indefinitely because she is a "stay at home mom," unless her financial situation allows that.

Ever just have one of those days where you feel like everything sucks??

I know in the whole scheme of things in this world that I shouldn't be complaining, but I'm just bummed today. I have this melancholy feeling about everything today. The situation with my SO and his kids, our financial situation, I work in sales and of course - that's in the toilet right now with the economy. I just cannot seem to bring myself out of this funk today. **sigh**

Smile So my bf and his parents went on a cell plan together for phone service for the next year. Even though it was a nuisance for bsns purposes and contacts he's chosen to change the number...and send the n to his old contacts EXCEPT the EX! Must say I am thrilled. His dad agreed it was best, they speak often and his dad said if the ex needs to leave a message she can call our house. You can call her back and block your number from her seeing it.

Easiest setting to deal with skids?

We have skids this weekend.

On the Tues/Wed before we have them I start trying to plan things to keep us away from home during the time they're here. I don't care what or where it is. I just dread the idea of being home with them there. I've found that it's better to be out somewhere. Maybe it's because when we're home I feel like I've lost control of my own home. Maybe if we're in the car or if they are doing some activity it's easier to tune them out. Maybe it keeps them from constantly having to be hanging on daddy.

BM doesn't want to help SD with her homework because she doesn't have "crafty" things at her house -- and we do.

We had SD5 and SS3 on Monday night. Fiance cleaned out SD's back pack and took out her "Take Home Folder" and looked through it, but forgot to put it back in her bag. We don't see SD until next Wednesday now.
