DH gets to deal with pick up tonight and all the BS

DH and BM of sd13 have an agreement of a pick up time of 5, normaly it ends up being around 530 due to her work schedule.

DH texted SD13 to see if he could by and small chance pick her up early. SD replys no I cant go until 7 tonight. Mind you its around 45 min to hour drive depending on traffic to get her.

She is at the babysitters and has to wait on BM to get her when she gets off work at 630 (she has to work late). Then she tells him that all her clothes she is going to bring this weekend are in the washer so she needs to dry them first.

Ok so here is my thing he will drive over there be there at 7 most likely she will just be pulling in the house or not even there yet. (baby sitter is around 20 mins from her house, and work is around 10 mins from baby sitter. and she never just goes straight home, she has to stop at bank, then get dinner, then what ever else while she is out.)

Then SD will throw a fit if she can't take the clothes that are in the washer (which probly smell like mildew from sitting for who knows how long). So if DH wants her he will have to wait on her to get clothes dry, or bag them all up take them to our house to dry. (which she won't want to do because its not how she planned it.) He offered to pick her up from the baby sitter but she has no way to get in the house to get her clothes. And of course SD13 has no clothes at our house because she takes everything to BM cause BM never buys here anything to wear.

What will I be doing this entire time, sitting at home taking a bubble bath laughing cause for once he had to deal with there BS!!!

I am mad they pull these things but for once he can see how inconvenient BM and SD are. SD has known for two weeks she was coming over, and BM should of made sure she was ready last night to come to our house.

It's not complicated-he can pick her up-swing by Walmart or hell even the local thrift shop and grab an outfit or two.
SD16 pulls this shit all the time however DH's attitude is "if you are ready great-if not tough shit"

I agree with Katmomma, AND is skid doesn't like his plan then she can learn to be ready when she is supposed to be ready.

exactly-do you know how many times BM would call DH bitching because he "forgot" SD16?!
He told her like he told SD "I said I was leaving if she wasn't ready-she CHOSE to dick around. Either drop her off or you can deal with her."

And since BM can't be bothered to drive to our house 15min away-she gets to stay

Wait a minute. The parent pays for the clothes, but he has zero ability to stop saud clothes from leaving his house? How is that the kid's fault?

The same parent who lacks control over the items that he pays for, texted his 13 year old TO ASK HER PERMISSION :sick: :sick: to pick her up early??? This parent made the CHOICE to give his childthis power. Why is she at fault for using it?

Why are you ignoring your husband's part in all of this?

Totally agree with you on this one!

DH has given waaaaaaay too much power to this child.

Well asking to go away from court agreement is needed. and he only sends clothes home because at BM she has nothing to wear, if its between her having a clothes at our house for EOW or her having clothes to wear to school he picks schol.

Wait. SD is 13 and still goes to a babysitter?? :jawdrop: Let me guess, CS is calculated include the "child care" for the babysitter? At 13, unless SD is mentally impaired, I can't imagine why she couldn't go home after school for a couple hours, especially on a day your DH wants to pick her up early! She could easily pack her own things and put any wet clothes in the dryer. SD is old enough to be a babysitter herself. I know I was at that age!

At that age I was too, but BM has SD going to school out side her zone, so the bus only will pick her up and drop her off at baby sitters.

Plus SD13 is not capable of being left alone by herself, she is no were close responsible enough.

:jawdrop: I'm sorry but your DH needs to get his balls back, if CO states he gets the brat at 6, then 6 it is, if brat is not available latest 6:20 he can report contempt. DH allows them effing him around, I will have a serious chat with DH..
