Why would you think I wanted your disrespectful, rude, ignorrant children's initials and birthstones on my bracelet? I don't. I want my children, the ones who love me unconditionally, respect me, and I enjoy being around. So now something that I once loved will sit in my jewelry box, unworn because if I don't include all the initials it will be an issue.

CO reads exchange at 9am. Kids are in school but school is closed this week. 1 child goes to sitter, other does not.
So...I have asked multiple times to change the time to 5pm to avoid the problem. Both parents work. In the CO the exchange place is a gas station or the sitter. Gas station is out (both at work) and there is no sitter.
My thoughts, leave her at my house and he can pick up on way home from work.

I don't know what else to do. I tried to contact ex to ask what he wanted done and received no reply. He is bipolar and replies are hit or miss.

I am a SM myself and we aren't the Brady bunch.
But...I learned how not to be a SM from my own SM.
Thanksgiving in my family....
Her kids get invited weeks ahead of time, my family gets invited when dad happens to run into my DH at grocery store 5 days ago. My sister is invited when she calls dad yesterday.
Well I had declined as I was cooking
My sis wanted to go and wanted us to.
I suggested I cook as planned and take everything over to add to her meal, since if both sis and I went it would be an extra 13 people.

We are being audited because BM decided the year that CS was increased from $600 to $1000 that now she had the right to claim both kids. For years, (at least 6 or 7) they each claimed 1.
We have roughly a 65/35 split. Nothing is in writing as to who should claim who. Anyone have any experience with this crap. Thoughts on what the IRS will say. Will they take into consideration that they have each claimed 1 for past many years and the only thing that changed last year was an increase of $400 a month in CS?
