ok so bm had sd for the weekend then sd calls us and informs us that memorial day is bm's holiday according to court papers,( court papers do not state her having this day as her holiday but I didn't care I would be just another day in paradise here, dh was upset and said he would not pick her up bm will have to drop her off here she wants to pick and chose holidays to have her then she can drop her off too. well today we had a great day until we get a text from sd when are you picking me up ( he didn't answer only because they have been pulling this shit with last minute plans forever) the bm calls he doesn't answer then I get a text "well are you picking me up and when", of course then sd texts again this time dh tells her seeing since they were last minute plans then last minute plans involve bm bringing you home that didn't go over well bm texts dh and says you shouldn't be getting upset with her it isn't her fault ( how could he get upset with her in text?)then bm calls and leaves nasty voicemail "I am not dropping her off so you need to figure out how to get her home, and this is my holiday the papers say so" I go and get the divorce papers (both sets, same case) the first set (divorce papers) state that he is to pick up and drop off and pay CS and etc... obviously not the right paper work now the second set states that she would have sd on her (bm)b-day and split thanksgiving and she will have her Christmas eve no mention of other holidays. dh says honey what do you think, should I just go and pick her up? I said hell no leave her there I could tell he didn't care for my answer but I didn't hold back well after about an hour and a half our great day turned to crap because he is on his way to pick her up ugh!

UGH!!! Sounds like SD15's BM! She always likes to change the plan, then it is up to DH (or us) to change our plans around to fit hers...and she NEVER agrees to pick up or drop off if the plans change. Now, DH's papers do not address who is supposed to provide transportation, but it has always been that he has to. Even when BM got a wild hair at one point and moved 100 miles away, she still made DH provide all the transportation...she wouldn't even agree to meet at a half-way point! Back then, SD15 lived with BM, so basically, if DH wanted to see his daughter at all, he was going to have to make the 200 mile round trip!

Now she is here and is playing the poor me card and it was all bm's idea to stay another day ( even though sd's friend told her that she would hang out with her another night ) needless to say eh and I are arguing again sad is happy and all I can say is 1 1/2 yrs isn't quick enough.

Sounds like BM was trying to pick a fight over who's holiday it was and it didn't work so she told the kid it was time to go home.

The positive side would be that she lost the battle because your husband chose to not engage in battle and she probably learned another lesson.

Trust me she never learns tomorrow will be a new deal, has been going on for almost 14 years, I am just so tired of it.
