Apparently after about 6 or 7 days without seeing SS, BM starts to get a guilty conscience.

BM emailed DH the other night
BM-I will be picking SS up at 5 tomorrow and keeping him according to the court ordered schedule. I will bring him home to you Friday
DH- Why would you do that?
BM- Why wouldn't I? I want to spend time with my son.
DH- We need to talk

When BM called him, he basically told her that her emailing him as though nothing is wrong and everything is just "normal" is insane. You haven't had SS over night in almost 2 months (with the exception of Christmas Eve night) and NOTHING in your situation as changed. You just email and say "I am taking him" is not ok. He told her that we have been keeping SS to give him a sense of normalcy in his life. She doesn't have a bedroom for him, no TV no internet, no money to take him anywhere. Not that kids need to be entertained 24/7, but what if there is an emergency? You don't have ANY MONEY to take care of him. She apparently agreed with him and agreed to picking him up at 2 and bringing him back at 8 yesterday... she didn't even MENTION taking him today at all. So she went from wanting him for 48 hours straight to 6 hours. When she very easily could have said "I will come back and get him Thursday and bring him back Thursday night". Nope. Haven't heard a word from her.

Loser.
