Looks like it's me and the skids tonight...BM won't respond.

My fiance's uncle passed away on Friday and the funeral is today -- a 6 hour drive away. We are scheduled to have the skids tonight, our usual every-other Monday night.

On Friday, DF called BM to ask her if we can switch Monday for Tuesday. No answer. Left message and text. No return call or text. DF called her again on Saturday. Same day, we determined that I wouldn't be going (can't afford to take PTO because I need to save it for when baby comes) to the funeral. We thought that BM would throw a fit that I'd have the skids by myself for a night and DF wouldn't be around, but apparently she picks and chooses when she cares.

DF even called BM's mom on Saturday afternoon, hoping she might have seen her or knows if BM's phone is broken or something. No response from her, either. DF texted BM again on Saturday night, and called, and repeated again on Sunday morning. Nothing.

DF left yesterday for the funeral. Still no word from BM. I called him today to see if I'm supposed to be picking up the skids and having them tonight or what the deal is...he just called BM again and still didn't get in touch with her.

I guess I'll just go to daycare and pick up the skids anyway, and I'll just have them by myself tonight.

So weird. She usually has no problem switching days or just stating that she can't do it because of a hair appt or something...so this is strange. I checked her FB out to see if she was out of town or if we could see if her phone was broken/dead -- nope, tons of comments on it all weekend, mentioned how the skids were naughty all weekend, etc. So what's her issue?

She's probably just being a bitch, sadly. Hopefully, she doesn't try to turn it around so that you guys are doing something "wrong" by you having the kids yourself.

I wouldn't pick them up or anything! I don't think the day care can give them to you anyway. It is her fault for not answering her phone. She KNEW what was going on trust me she did which is why she didn't answer! IF the day care still has them past the time she is to pick them up they will call her. She will probably go ape sh!t but all your DF will have to say is "answer your phone". This crap makes my blood boil with anger, IF she was any kind of mom should would want to make sure their dad can pick them up at day care and with all the calling and texting he did she knows something is up. WITCH!

I'm on the list to be able to pick up the skids, so that part is all fine and dandy...but it truly makes me wonder what would have happened if I had been going to the funeral. DF never once told her that I was available to take the skids... I'm going to write another blog about the REST of the story Smile
