Today was SS7's dentist appointment, and he had the hardest time tracking down his own son so that he would take him to the dentist.

This is what was SUPPOSED to happen. FDH got off work early and BM told him at the start of the week to go to this after school program and get SS7 so that he could take him to the dentist. Last night he called BM to confirm where he needed to go to get SS7. BM was soft spoken on the phone and FDH said that he couldn't hear any background noise, which is odd, when at home you can usually hear a TV or the kids. We happened to go by her house again last night on the way to the bank, the car was still there - but the house was completely dark - it was around 7 pm. (I had gone by earlier in the day and the van was there - but BM claimed to be REALLY busy at work this week, too busy to take SS7 to the dentist - see my other post for more details.)

Today FDH got to the place and they said that SS7 was not there. They had told BM that they didn't really have room for him but would take him any way - but when he didn't get off the bus they assumed that BM had found something else, until FDH showed up then they freaked out. So FDH went to BM's house (he had driven by on his way and notice that BM's car was gone but her mom's car was there) He found her mom there with both kids, the grandma seemed to know why he was there and handed over SS7 with out a fight. But her mom works full-time so for her to be watching the kids in the middle of the week is very strange - usually her MIL watches the boys for her during the week.

More importantly if the plans changed WHY didn't BM call FDH to tell him not to go to the day care place, but to go to her house. Where is BM and why was her car home all day yesterday? has BM finally snapped? Is is bad that when things get weird I automatically brace for the worst? So many questions.

I suggested to FDH to casually ask SS7 what he has been up to this week while he has him - I am interested to find out what he says, and how the dentist appt. goes.

I hope it's nothing - but it rarely is.
