I wanted to reply to BMs text....

But I didn't. She sent DH a text asking for SSs winter coat. DH checks SSs room and the coat closet and replies that we don't have it. She texts back that its not at her house it must be at ours. Our home is very organized. Its not here. None of his coats are here. He has also left about 6 hoodies at her house. She then says well he needs one. I wanted so badly to reply back "so go buy him one" DH doesn't pay cs they have 50/50. DH decided not to respond. We buy him clothes and shoes all the time and a new coat every year. His three coats I bought last year should still fit. They are somewhere in that hovel she lives in. She needs to find them or buy him a new one. We didn't hear anything for a few days. She started texting DH again asking if he was going to buy a new coat. DH said no. He already bought him several. He's at her house and she is responsible for his needs when he's with her. She hasn't texted again. We'll find out when SS comes home today if I need to go get him a coat. How much do you want to bet I'm buying a new coat today?

Is it possible he's leaving

Is it possible he's leaving them at school? I only ask because my BS had done this. It's not at his dad's and not at home. We usually find out a week later it was in the school's lost and found.

I will bet on million! Your

I will bet on million! Your gotta be buying coat #4, #5 and #6 this season...been there done that!

uhm....how about skid doesn't

uhm....how about skid doesn't get to go anywhere when he's with you since he forgot to bring a coat. And as for getting him to school, send him with an old one from the back of DH's closet....or better yet your closet. Something pink, or something ill-fitting, out of date, etc.

Go to your neighborhood

Go to your neighborhood thrift store. How old is this kid? He should be able (you would think) to keep tabs on his coat.

He's 12. He's already lost

He's 12. He's already lost DHs suede coat. He took it without DHs permission. I think thrift store is a good idea.

It sounds like BM is trying

It sounds like BM is trying to get as much money as she can from DH, and either throwing away SS's coats or just wants one that's "in" now. Or SS wants a new coat so he manipulates the situation to get a new one. I second the notion of taking him to a thrift store and only letting him have it while he is with you guys. When he gets sent back to BMs, you guys take the coat back to your house to make sure SS doesn't "lose" it again.
