In our last episode Beaver did nothing to punish GWR for his role in the "study hall prank".  SD was not thrilled with this development but has since calmed down and accepted this as norm.

In this weeks episode  Beaver further proves how lazy she is and how little she cares about SD's comfort and/or making SD's life easier.

Both skids go to our school district.  It is a pretty decent school district and way better than the getto district the Beaver dam is in.  Right now the kids are on a hybrid schedule..one week in school..one week remote.   The remote week is on Beaver's week and the in school is on our week.  Cool..Cool...SD just takes her bus from our house during our week.    Easy peasy lemon squeezy as my DD says.

Except for Friday...you knew there was a catch with the old bitter Beaver.  On Friday, they switch houses. Ah the joy..

Past years....SD took the bus to school and then took it back to our house. Beaver would then pick her up on her way home from work.  SD had a chance to pack up her stuff and NOT have to take the entire lot of stuff to school.  

Again..Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy....especially since Beaver's place of employment is 2.8 miles from our house..9 minutes if there is a little bit of traffic.  Our little city here doesn't have THAT much traffic.

If you guessed this is now a problem....WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.

yes...Beaver has deemed that 2.8 miles is just tooooo muuuuuucccccchhhh for her to drive.  SD has to ride home from school with GWR and GWR has been banned by Beaver from driving to our house with SD to pick up her stuff.  That's right folks...Beaver banned GWR from going to you know HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.  ****take a moment to let that one sink in*****

Now..SD is forced to put all of her stuff in her back pack to take to school...she looked like a sherpa going up Everest with the amount of stuff she has to pack. Plus, she has all her electronics in there...lets hope the back pack doesn't get stolen.

And the piece de resitance....she has to rely on GWR, who is neither reliable nor cares a hoot for SD.

Lets all give Beaver our vote for MOTHER OF THE YEAR.  

Let me just say this..I had a similar situation with my bio kids.  Their dad lives in a very good city with a school district that is number 2 in the state and in the top 25 in the nation.  No way was I ever going to take them out of that school district.  The district was amazing in their support for DS and his aspergers.  

So on my weeks I drove 15 miles in rush hour traffice to get the kids to school. Turned around and drove 15 miles back to my office.  Repeat in the afternoon.    I did this for YEARS, DD wasn't even in kindergarden when I divorced, DS was in like 2nd grade.

On Fridays when my kids switched we left a little bit early and they would drop off their stuff at their dads house if they were going to his house.  If I was picking up for my week, we stopped at their dads on the way home after school so they could pick up their stuff.  Did I want to go to my ex's..the Village Idiot's house..NO not at all.  I did it with a smile though...because it was for my kids.   It made my kids transitions easier and that was my ultimate goal.  Their transition/education was more important than my 5 minutes of discomfort or my 1 hour long drives to get them to and from school.
