Kids and Court Proceedings
How much are they supposed to know? Should they know that they have a "voice" at 14? Or should they just go with the status quo until 18?
SD said that BM "threatened" to take 50/50 away and when SD asks when she gets to see DH, BM ignores her and leaves the room. BM told DH that SD and her toddler do not get along and that SD "pushes" him. When asked, SD says that the kid hits her and is not discipled for it, but when she pushes him off, BM scolds her for defending herself.

Older skids and babies
DH and I are finally talking about TTC since he is getting older and so is SD. We are super close to being there financially and want to take the "next step" after 8 years. Here's my problem:

SD "week-on" update
The previous thread about laundry reminded me of my "precious moments" with SD this week. SD has been here since last Saturday afternoon, so all of her Spring Break. I guess BM is bribing her with "gifts" to go to her Easter egg hunt tomorrow. SD didn't want to go back to BM's and I think BM knows it, so she must hide eggs with money in them to grab SD's attention, but I digress.

Grrrrr.... DH rant
SD has been with us since Saturday afternoon and we assume that she will be with us until at least Friday. BM is dragging her feet about agreeing to a solid 50/50 (who couldn't see that coming?). This week is SD's spring break.
Anyway, the real issue is DH. He has been getting off work earlier to be with SD since I am working evenings. SD stays by herself with the dogs between 4 and 7 hours. All 3 evenings I've worked this week, they are eating out! DH was just telling me last week we need to be "frugle."

Feeling bad for SD
This week is her spring break and she asked for this week to be her first "week on" with dad. All of her friends have plans. One of her friends should be free on Wednesday, but until then, she'll have to be by herself at our house with the dogs. GBM stays at BM's with the toddler but SD doesn't want to be there.

BM is so pathetic
And probably lonely because her life sucks.
DH and I were sitting on the couch watching GOT and BM texts him: "Thank you. I am sorry for everything in the past. I love you guys and want the best for you both." Text ignored. It sure is easy to apologize in a phoney text message. I'll believe her when DH tells me she apologized for the sh!t show she's caused in person to his freaking face! I have a lot of resentment, if you couldn't tell..

The world must be ending..
Yes I couldn't believe my eyes. I am still waiting for DH to tell me April Fools!
I am at work and DH tells me that BM agreed to week on/ week off and will give us every Sunday to take SD to church.
Yes I think I need another eye check! BM says she "thinks it'll be better for everyone". I don't trust the witch so I told DH after a month or so he needs to file in court for a legal modification. Again, I do. not. trust. BM. Where did this sudden change of heart come from? 4 years ago, she was asking DH to sign his rights away and leave them alone??

It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to..
Yep, today is my bday and DH hasn't seen SD going on 3 weeks. My girlfriend who normally works Saturday night graveyards took tonight off and she and her husband are taking DH and me out.
SD calls and I don't know the full convo, but DH told her she can go to dinner with us. We were probably going to go to the casino since we assume the pubs will be packed.
His reasoning? "She probably just wants to get away from BM's and we can drop her off after or she can just hang out at our house".

OT Weeding out FB friends
I'm friends with one of DH's old bosses on FB. She's nice enough and we've gotten along at the Xmas parties I've been to. She has twin girls who just turned 3. As I'm just browsing out of boredom, I come across her post:
"Twin A: Mom! Do you see my penis?
Mom: ?? You don't have a penis.. Who asked you that?
Twin A: Boy. He showed me his penis. I love it!
Twin B: *sing song voice* you can use your penis! I can use your penis!
Twin A: No, twin B! Boy's penis is in my class!"

What does disengagement look like?
I have no idea. I am way too emotionally invested but need to step WAAAAY back for my own sanity. I care about SD very much. I care for her more because she is literally part of my husband and I want to enjoy that with him, but him having a child also initiates more arguments than we need to have.
