The BM is in town

So BM finally decided to come visit her daughter since she was flying to a different country and NY is her layover. She is then spending the weekend and going back to the country she lives in. So let me get this straight... she can travel across the world but can't plan a vacation to spend with her child. The last time she visited was during the Summer of last year and there was a motive - to get married in civil court w/ her husband from another country.

DH agreed on parenting time again this weekend even after she has interrogated her and poisoned her with gossip and lies for the couple hours she got to spend with her during ghe beginning of the week. However DH isn't allowing SD to sleep over with BM. 

SD asked me if i could take her to the library this weekend to return books and pick up new ones for a school project.  I said sure not knowing DH had already planned on SD going with her mom. I simply told SD after coming home from BM tonight that she should go to the library and bring her books with her tomorrow and get the ones she needs since there is a library by BMs parents house (where she is currently staying for the weekend). SD tells me she asked her mom and the response was "no i cant, if you were sleeping over then yes." That is something BM would say and SD has a rep of lying so idk what to believe. BM has never taken her to the library and many places that I've taken her since we got custody of her. But seriously?! Bm how low can you get?! going to the library with your child is quality time and the least she can do is be involved in SD school project while she is here. 

 

Once again the b.s. never ends. After every visit there is some frustrating crap to hear.

To be fair if i only saw my child very rarely I would want to do what I wanted to do with her and not run errands imposed on me by someone else. She may be a shitty mother, but she can spend her very litmited parenting time doing what she wants.

Got your point. But if your child asked you how can you deny? Considering the library is only walking distance?

Absolutely not. However we're not talking about a toy or a piece of candy. I'm talking about a school project and quality time.

Your quality time is someone else's boredom. Not everyone is going to think the same way as you. There are many ways to have quality time. Aside from that BM probably already had plans as to what she wanted to do with her day that did not include time for extra things.

Im sorry i think you're misunderstanding me. It's not my sense of quality time i could careless to go to a library I'd rather go to the movies, park, or shopping or out to eat. Its what the child sees as quality time. From what i was told all BM did was sleep on the couch and SD played with her grandfather most of the time.
