I almost want to take bets on how BM is going to reply to DH's e-mail we had to send.

The school sent a letter this weekend about SS's tardy's. SS had 12 tardy's as of last Wednesday. Our district counts every 3rd tardy as an unexcused absence. So that's 4 absences, in addition to the 4 he already has (because BM kept him home for funsies). If he misses much more school, they can actually request he repeat the 3rd grade...

SD has 6 tardy's as of this morning as well as 4 absences.

BM is responsible for all of those absences and tardy's. The kids always go to school on our days. So DH sent her an e-mail to make her aware and will be sending her a copy of the letter from the school this evening.

I know her excuse is her pregnancy and the new baby's birth.

I bet one of the following:

1) She'll reply with a big ol' fuck you DH.

2) She'll whine because her house is too far away from their current schools (even though they are court ordered to go there and she KNEW that when she chose to buy this house, she's still only 15 minutes away).

3) She'll ignore us and the kids will continue to be late to school.

4) She'll ask what we have in mind, then when she learns that I offered (yes I did) to pick the kids up every morning and take them to school, she'll decline since it makes her look bad.

Be interesting to see...
