We had court on Friday....and lost.
I've been so emotional I haven't been able to post this weekend. We had petitioned the court for a set placement schedule that was consistent and stable for the skids 9 and 12. We have 50/50 custody, and requested a week on/week off schedule. BM and her hubby work as EMT's on 24 hour shifts.

Question for SM of teens.
Is it just me or do teens that have parents that live separate have an attitude of entitlement, where they feel they should have what ever they want when ever they want it! And that things are just never good enough for them and that SM's are nothing more than maids that are supposed to buy them things ,take them places, and clean up after them? Maybe this is normal Skid teen behavior ofr I really do have the laziest, most self centered, rude and hurtful skids on the planet!

SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN ME, WHAT DOES A CHILD AND ADOLESCENCE GROUP DO EXACTLY
Can someone please explain this to me.
BM has cancelled two meetings with them for SS5 and then told his teacher [she has it taken care of] when she was asked about the meetings
Do they assess SS? he has some pretty severe developmental issues
I don't think they're directly related with the school system, are they more of a social services group of people?
HELP! Anyone experienced this?
How old should a child be before you explain to them about mommy's "problem" ?
Our BM has a drinking problem. She NEVER has any money for necessities which means we HAVE to pay for this stuff. We have 50/50 custody and BM gets $800 a month CS. She also works (when she's not hungover). The skids will be sent to our house and tell us they have no lunch money, or no money for halloween costumes, or no money for school pictures, etc............it is never ending. BM lives in a house her dad owns and although she is supposed to pay rent, we know she doesn't.
Added another Rule to the Rule Book
The skids are constantly fighting. I'm tired to death of trying to sort out who did what first to cause the other skid to hit, push, punch, punish, the other.
I told them yesterday I cannot watch them 24 hours a day to decide who is doing what wrong. So my new rule: if the kids can't get along, both of them will be sent to their room. No arguing, no complainiing. Its as simple as that.
I told them we'll try this for a while and see how it works out for us.

My night having to share a hotel room with BM.....
Well SD15 & I left home around 10am and headed for Indianapolis(about a 9 hour drive). (Just to re-cap Now as you all know from my previous post...SD15, SD12, me, & BM were meeting and going to share a hotel room.) We arrived in Indianapolis @ 8pm. SD15 called BM and said "we'll be @ the hotel in about 10 minutes. Can you come outside so I can put my stuff in your car?" BM "Sure." So we fill the car will gas and head to hotel. We get there and BM was waiting at her car so we could put SD15's stuff in it. Then we head inside.
OK....I forfeit....I give up....I'm waving the white flag....BM wins......and my skids lose.
So Friday was the Christmas party for SD8 and SD10. I am head room mom for SD10's class. I had weeks of preparation for this party. I came up with a craft for the kids to make, a game for them to play, and I also baked 8 dozen cookies on Thursday for both parties because BM was unable to bake anything or even send in a bag of chips, or a 2 liter, or anything.......and she had also told the skids that she would be unable to attend.
