Bio mom thinks it's funny to let 5 dogs out every time we pick up & drop off the kids at their house in the country. They charge our car. Apparently she thinks it's funny when they jump up on our new car. This has been happening for the 5 years I've been around & before. The kids say their mom tells them to let the dogs out your dad is on the way. Well all these years... We accidentally hit one of their dogs. We weren't sure. It was raining & dark. We turned around & tried to look. He called her after the kids went in & told her we may have & we were outside looking. Her husband came out to look, my husband told him where we had looked... He wouldn't resoond. We turned our car around & left. He called his ex back, told her we couldn't find the dog, but we did hear & feel something under the car, but not the tire & to let us know. A week passed, no calls, no texts. The day he was to pick the kids up, she texts she will drop the kids off bc he is not allowed on their property bc he ran over their dog. He replied "do you think it was on purpose?" Her response was "you are not allowed on our property, let's leace it at that." Well. That's fine with us. We have done 100% of the transporting all these years. Knock yourself out lady! It's been this way for about a month. Well he has to work in the morning. I don't watch his kids. So he text her. "Please be to pick the kids up at 6am. I have to work." ALL OF A SUDDEN. GUESS WHO IS WELCOME ON THEIR PROPERTY?!?! What a loser!!!

I feel bad for the dog. Actually surprised it took 5yrs for the accident to happen. I'm sorry DH ,you and the children had to go through that.

I wouldn't go back on her property (though I wouldn't have put up with chancing running over the pack of dogs for five years either). Pick-up/drop offs need to be properly modified. Perhaps a neutral place with each parent coming their part of the way? BM has the upper hand for this morning in this. She has no intentions of being at your home at 6am. If DH leaves for work with the kids still there, you can bet BM will get around to coming to get them when she's good and ready later today. That just makes it rough on you and you have every right not to be the babysitter. If Dad takes them home at 6am, the remaining four dogs will still be an issue.

Locate a central exchange place , tell BM this is the new exchange place. If she squeals and squawks, then just inform her that the new place will have to go through the proper court papers as DH will no longer drive onto her property. Thus the only option is for both parents to drive and met in neutral location. Too bad if she doesn't want to gather her kids at 6am, it's her own fault. Five years of thinking the dogs were funny and ha-ha DH has caused her new rise and shine situation. I'm suggesting neutral location as I doubt you really want BM on your doorstep all the time.

How old are the kids? Why can't dad just park out on the street/road and the kids just walk from the house to the car? I just do not understand why all of these kids have to be walked to the front doors/cars.
