during the next 10 days. We pick up the sd5 tomorrow. DH and BM are both supposed to drive 1.5 hours to the pickup location.

BUT i know it will be some drama - becaue she has already emailed an excuse why DH should drive all the way to pick sd up from school. School lets out early and after school care is closed. Although BM's mother and father would normally get her any other time.

SO he tells her nope - no good. We both still work to 400-430 pm.

SO i am quite sure she will not drive to the correct exit, will not arrive on time, will not get out of car to exchange child and will not confirm when she arrives or if she is coming on time or not.

THEN - next week we are to get her the day after Christmas (hooooray!) I am excited to have everyone together for this holiday. The first since we have been married and in the new house...... BUT i just know it will get ugly for that one as well. I am just sure she will not drive to meet us at all. BUT we have already decided, if we have to drive all the way to her house in NC - she will be driving to our in VA. (Doubt that will happen though - it sounds nice to say.)

But if so, I will then make sure we invite her in to dinner and to check out her daughter's room. I bet once we "kill her with kindness" she will never pull that one again. She hates to drive to VA - I mean hates to drive to VA.

But i figure if she doesn't follow the rules set forth in the new court order - and makes him follow the old of driving to NC to her house - then she will get the same old treatment.
