BF and I are working together to make proposals to BM regarding parenting time, custody and child support. BF sent one first and BM took 3 weeks to respond and the proposal stated respond in 10 days. BM's proposal was for the most part the same as BF's except for a few items. Both BF and BM agreed to try to work those things out via email. There DD states they have to try to work it out before they go to mediation and if that does not work then court. BF is trying to take one item they disagree on at a time and work though each one individually.

Saw baby (just shy of 4 months old) for Easter. BM told us she thought he had pink eye because his eyes had a little matter in them none that we could see. Having 3 kids who have all had pink eye more than once but never at such a young age I checked him out. Membranes of the eyes are fine, no excess mucus or pus or swelling of the lids or any sign of pink eye. His eyes do tear occationally but that is normal due to immature tear ducts plus BF's eyes tear for no reason too.

BM is still pushing for baby to get a passport. BF refuses for many reasons - child will be too young to travel abroad (7 months old), 3 weeks without time with BF is too long, BM has said she will run off to other states to live...BF offered to take baby while BM is gone but BM claims baby is exclusively breastfed. Huge lie!

Get a life BM. Until there is a court order, they have joint custody and BF said no.

I bake on Saturday since homemade is cheaper than purchased snacks. Plus I make a meal or two for later in the week so we can just heat and eat. Something easy like goulash, sloppy joes, taco meat, simple hotdish, using whatever I have on hand.

Laundry is a every other day thing with a family of 5. Cleaning is done when I have time usually I do the floors on Monday while the recycle bins are on the curb for pick up so they are out of my kitchen. I use alot of cleaning wipes because its quick and easy.
