Because it's impossible to behave like civilized, rational adults. That would be too much to expect or ask.

DH and I were lucky enough to spend time with family this weekend and apparently, during some quality time with his brother, DH got told that BM sent a letter to MIL. Was this a gee, I hope your heart surgery went well letter? Nah. It was a "your son is the trash of the planet, he has Abondoned his daughter, she will never be able to go to college because of Him" whine whine bitch moan letter.

I shouldn't be so happy

To hear about BM melting down in the court house. I shouldn't. But I am. It just makes me smile to hear the lawyer tell us that BM slammed every door on the way out, cussed up a storm and almost got security called on her butt for being such a looney toon.

I love that the judge told her what she wanted wasn't happening. Ever.

So she cried about how SD won't be able to go to college if Daddy doesn't pay. Cry me a river. Poor Cinderella can't possibly take out loans, find grants, get financial aid... Or I don't know, make her own money and pay for it?

Victory!!!

So best thing ever....

Crazy pants didn't even show up to court!

We were granted the order to terminate child support. BM's petition was thrown out. The last child support payment has been made! That's it, we are done. Hooray!!

Wtf is Wrong with BM??

And yes I blame BM for this.

DH received certified mail today from his darling, loving, sweet, considerate daughter.... Can you sense the sarcasm? This Beautiful letter is a CC of a letter she sent to the magistrate, requesting a GAL for HER upcoming court date.

My bad, I thought child support cases were between the Parents of minor children. She wants to know what she needs to do Next.

Yes BM, you are just that predictable...

So the divorce decree states that CS ends when SD graduates high school (or turns 19, whichever comes first). However, the DD is from a different state that where they live now. Now, BM lives in the grand GU capital of New York State. Yay us. So, after we talked to a lawyer, a petition for the cease of CS has been entered to the court. Yay.

On being a family...

So after seeing various posts on family vs stepfamily, on men behaving differently once they have a "new" family, and of course my own recent fabulous family drama... What makes family "family"?

Blood isn't enough obviously, given adoption, estrangement, etc. Choice isn't enough given the rate of divorce. I guess the best answer is love, but is that enough?

Who is the onus on to keep a family together? At what age do kids become responsible for really participating in the family?

Not sure why this surprised me

I don't know why I would have expected his mind to operate any differently...

We live pretty far away from all the family right now, as in a drive is not remotely an option to visit. However, DH travels a lot for work so he actually gets to see his side of the family every couple of months or so. This particular trip is pretty extended, so DD and I went with so I could see my family and not have colicky baby duty to myself for a month straight. During this visit, we will be spending a weekend with DH's side of the family so they can meet DD.

Holiday invitation update

So surprisingly, SD actually emailed DH a response our holiday invitation. (Background-SD lives 2000+ miles away, any visit with her involves plane tickets and to in my world plenty of lead time). She even responded before the deadline. That's kind of where the surprises stop.

Can I tell you how much I just love the word "uncomfortable"? It covers a huge multitude of sins. I think she used it about three dozen times in her amazingly passive aggressive email.

Pretty much as expected

So the baby has arrived and is just perfect. DH of course started telling the family, left a message for SD to call him back. And then he gets a text, telling him that if its about the baby, SD could not possibly care less and don't bother trying to contact her about it again.

Yea.
