Hello this is my first post on this site, but ive been a 'creeper' for a few months before I joined. Im 20 and My fdh ( may 24th is when were getting married! ) has a 6 yr old daughter that we see every other weekend. He and I would love for it to be EWE but we live about 120 miles from her so they meet halfway EOWE to exchange her. Anyway, this order has only been in place since December ( long story- fdh didnt get to see his daughter for 6 months after he moved here because of BM she changed her number and he tried to show up where she lived and even offered her CS but she wouldnt take it) anyway, Ive decided im going to start documenting everything because lately BM hasnt been answering the phone when fdh calls to talk to SD6. They are supposed to go back to court pretty soon because she wont even give up where SD6 goes to school or let him have an extra copy of her health insurance card just incase she gets into an accident! thats how crazy she is.

Im just wondering if you guys document anything, what do you document? Im planning on writing down everytime we have her and everytime BM is late to pick her up and weve been taking pictures of any marks she has on her that werent there before (BM tried to say that fdh was abusive to BM -not to SD6, but still she might try to one of these days-) and even grocery reciepts (read about some BM on here saying that they werent feeding the child right!)

we have her this weekend and was supposed to drop her off today at 6pm, but lo and behold he gets a call at 3:30 saying her bf's car is broken down on the highway( no car no job just lives off CS and her bf!) and would he might keeping her an extra day? We think its BS because in her backpack of clothes that BM dropped off were extra pants and shirts, more than 2 days worth (usually there are like an extra set just incase she gets dirty, but there were more extra sets than normal!) She didnt say when they were gonna do the exchange either so he will have to text her tomorrow just to make sure. it is spring break after all!!! its kinda funny because as soon as the court order came about, BM sure didnt mind letting fdh have extra days with her! she was with us most of christmas break and then over valentines day they were supposedly taking a trip so we had her an extra 2 days (she missed school too...!) I wouldnt mind if we had her the whole week either. shes a great kid.
sometimes my stomach gets kind of tight though when i have to watch her by myself for more than 30 minutes if fdh steps out or something. Ive never babysitted or been around kids for that much until her. Ive known her since she was 3 and half though. Its getting better over time. she listens pretty well and shes great practice for when i have my own! haha just kidding (kind of!) sorry this is so long just had alot of stuff to get out!
Thanks for any feedback about documenting things!
