Changing exchange days?

MARLA_823's picture

So who here has 50/50 week/on week off custody? What are the exchange times/days and why are the times/days good or bad? We currently do exchanges of SD at 6pm Sun, but don't think it is the greatest setup. Now that SD is in school, basically it's a rush to feed her dinner and get her bathed and ready for bed. (We get up at 6am to get ready for school.) Also there's the fact that no one parent really gets a full weekend with her. We're thinking either the parent getting SD picks her up after school Fri or Mon.

WOW! Long Time, Same Drama! BM appears to have forged some documents informing Social Services that she regained custody of SS!

We wondered if mom actually had a job, like the child support agency said she happens to have now, why hubby wasn't getting any of the payments, we were informed at the end of last week that BM apparently has informed child support and social services that she regained custody of SS6 and that is why there was a block on hubby's child support! They couldn't tell us exactly what the document was that was rec'd, it may have been a forged/changed copy of our court order which is one of the only documents that these departments will accept.

Pregnant with a jealous stepson!

Ahh! My SS is driving me crazy. He is 6 and has been acting like a baby since he found out we are adding to our family! He is being a little jerk to be honest. He has been asking for a baby brother or sister for months and now that he is getting one he is acting out. I can't imagine what he is going to do when the baby actually arrives! DH doesn't want me stressed out but the SS is doing everything to push my buttons. He won't even listen to DH.

My new song- The Last Word by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter's
The Last Word

You can have it, I don't want it, and when you've got it, I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying when the damage has all been done

Can't seem to keep the faith, as if that's all I need to do
I'd rather walk away than take what belongs to you

You can have it, I don't want it, and when you've got it, I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying when the damage has all been done

BM too busy drinking yesterday to tell us where SD was so we could pick her up.

My fiance went out of town this weekend with SS3 to visit his parents. He had agreed to take BM's daughter and SS on Sunday night when he got back even though it wasn't our night. (If you read my last blog, BM wanted to go to a sex toy party and was planning to drink...whatever)

Creative PAS

BM gets PAS in every way she can think of.

We have to bring specific complaints to court and have it written in the CO that she can't do this or that specific behaviour, as in she is prohibited from discussing emotions when she calls skids.

Well, she's getting more creative.

Fabulous Day :)

Sooo, since my first entry my bf and I had a bit of a blow out. I've always heard that keeping your feelings bottled up would drive one insane. I feel like I was heading toward major depression, but last night the bf and I had it out. Amazingly, it was wonderful. I think partially because we never fight. He pointed out that I get on SD for every little thing, which to an extent, he's right. I do. She is 4 and I should lighten up a little bit. I just feel like if I give she's going to take more than I'm actually giving. She's famous for it.

How to present SS's crap to DH without tension?

Apple's picture

Seriously, should I present the steamy pile with a garnish on the side ?
I'd rather not know if I have a choice.
SS19 announced that he got a job offer last week, we finally can get off his back, what he didn't tell his was, that is a part time job. I was in the same conversation, found that out when he was telling his aunt about the job, talked to DH this morning, he didn't know that either.
