So this weekend ss has some school events going on. We don't live in the same town as him, but both our families do. Anyway, instead of missing visitation or having ss miss those non-mandatory vents, he decided to play nice dad. We knew before school started about this weekend and dh told ss about a month ago that he would get him to this activities and they'd just stay the weekend with mil. I never had any intentions on going with dh. So 2 weeks ago I told dh the kids and I weren't going. Honestly, I just didn't want to go.

So this summer dh was contemplating giving ss12 an extra phone he had. (this is not a phone blog. I know people have mixed feelings about that.) SS has had a phone since 3rd or 4th grade because his mom wanted him to have one. 'She' pays the service and everything. Last year dh got him a new one because the one ss had was in really bad condition and the phone was his Christmas gift. So anyway we have an extra phone that ss has asked for.

Our extended visitation for the summer is OVER!!! I literally wanted to yell and jump up and down when they left but I contained myself in front of my kids. SS was excited too, of course. No one likes these extended visits but DH feels since he is allowed the time and since he pays cs then he should get him the 30 days. Anyhow, regular eow visits resume but no more extended visits for awhile!! Even DH said that now our house can get back to normal. Exactly.
