BM says the darnest things

BM finally replied to a email sent this past Friday. She was rather crabby and rude in her email. Here is one of the things she wrote..

You chose to move 66 miles from where baby and I live. I refuse to be punished any further for your choice.

Apparently, BF is punishing BM by moving 66 miles away. WTF!! BF did not even know baby was his until 2 weeks after he moved. He had nothing to stay in that town for, he closed his shop (his dream), BM got the house, he needed a fresh start and got me in the deal!

BM's can say the darnest things and shoot themselves in the foot in the process.

Was this in response to sharing the cost of transportation for visitation?

BF requested and BM agreed to meet half-way, sort of, BF has to go about 40 miles one way and BM has to go about 20 miles one way. So BM has less driving. This does not start until late November after FSS turns a year old. Both agreed to pay their own costs for transportation for parenting time.

BF requested that neither party can move more than 80 miles one way from the other and if one chooses to move farther than 80 miles then that parent still has to meet at the original meeting place. Does that make sense? Another thing BF requested is that if BM signs up the child for sports or activities that interupt BF's parenting time, that BM has to okay it with BF and BM must reimburse BF for transportation costs (.45 a mile or whatever the federal rate is at that time) to get the child to and from the activity BM signed him up for during BF's time so the child does not miss practice. Does that make sense?

But I think you can plan on getting this decided by a judge in court. I just don't see her agreeing to anything in mediation. This feels like a time-waster to me. The longer she drags it out, the longer she gets everything her way.

They think they are the center of the world don't they? Our BM forsed us to drive 6 hours to visit the skids. Now we have the girls living with us and she still wants us to drive 6 hours so she can visit them. She told the girls that hell would freeze over b4 she comes to Georgia. DH laughed and told her why do you think I live in Georgia.

We moved here from North Carolina to care for my father after my SM died. We never moved back to NC b/c that where BM lives. When we lived there she was calling the cops EVERYTIME her CS was late, and her CS is garnished by the state! After a while NC police just started calling my husband on the phone and asking him to come pick up his sapina. We knew all the cops by name. He told the court that if he could spend more time at work and less time in court them maybe he could afford to pay her more. The state of Georgia though refuses to arrest him at BM's every whim. They tell her to call NC CS and that they will contact Ga. In the three years we've been here they only threatened to arrest him once and that was after their computer screw up.
