So Halloween is fast approaching and we still haven't heard anything about it from BM. I am not surprised, because she has a habit of "forgetting" about holidays she really doesn't want to deal with. It drives me absolutely crazy, they aren't even my kids and I can remember whose year it is for what holiday, it's not rocket science, I know she tries to play us.
We have gotten stuck with Easter 2 years in a row this way, and missed out on 3 Christmases in a row. She's not big on Easter, she tried doing it again Easter 2015 and it would have been our 3rd Easter in a row with the kids if we hadn't spoken up. We just get her excuse b.s. that she "swore she had them last year" and she "forgot completely" who had them. Every year she "swears" we had them the previous year for X-mas so she can have them, she is big on X-mas. We've looked the other way on that one for a few years just due to the fact with the CS she gets she can afford a better X-mas for them than we can, but we are speaking up this year because they are getting a bit old for the whole santa thing anyways.
Anywho, I just have a feeling she is going to "forget" Halloween this year. What with it being on a Saturday I wouldn't put it past her to try to get out of it so she could go out and party... Not happening, we've put up with her sporadic holiday flip-flopping in the past, but Halloween is MY day and if it's not our year then it's not our year. period. One of my BF's colleauges already hit him up to cover a shift on Halloween since he won't have the kids anyways.
It's just so annoying... god forbid we have them on birthdays and x-mas, that's her time to shine and play mother of the year in front of everyone.. but any other holiday? pft, they just get in her way so hopefully daddy takes them instead.. sorry sweetheart but I am not picking up your slack because you don't wanna deal with your own spawn...
