SO got it in his head that because BM has been a relatively normal human being lately, that he would try to talk things through with her before scheduling the mediation.

So he call her today:

SO: So, I thought that maybe since we are getting along lately and we are both adults, I feel we can both speak face to face and have a civil conversation regarding parenting time without having to be supervised.

BM: I agree. I actually have an offer to make you.

She then tells him that he can have SD EVERY friday overnight in addition to his Sunday overnights and just cut out the Friday 5-9's. ok, whatever.

I told him that that was not really a good offer as far as SD is concerned because bouncing back and forth every weekend is stupid and what if BM moves, then half his visitation will be in the car? And I was mad that she was "making an offer"...like her daughter is something to be bargained...but I digress.

Basically they came to the agreement that ALL the adults in this situation need to sit down and come up with an appropriate schedule that will be fair to both of them and beneficial for SD...so she is coming over Thursday....

this should be amusing to say the least. I thought we had more time but now I get to spend the next 2 days writing up the parenting plans that he was going to take to mediation but now he just needs them for this "talk".

wish us luck!
