The custody arrangement for Christmas is that the week up to and including Christmas Day and on into noon on the 26th, one parent has SD. On the 26th at noon until school resumes after New Year’s Day, the other parent has SD. SD gets two Christmases, one on the day, and then one at noonish on the 26th when she comes to the other parent’s house. Well, this year, we get the first half, since we had the second half last year.

Last night, SD told us that BM wanted to know if it was okay if her grandma (BM’s mom) could send a gift over to our house. So, we said that we thought that it’d be more appropriate for SD to get gifts from her mom’s side of the family at her mom’s house, and she said she’d tell her mom when she called. So, apparently, BM told SD that the package was actually already on its way.

Two things here: It’s against the divorce decree, and with really good reason, for one parent to communicate with another parent through SD. Also, who in the blue fuck thinks that is even remotely appropriate?! So then SO sent BM an email pointing out that she shouldn’t use SD as a messenger and also that she needs to tell her family not to send stuff to our house, and that we'd be forwarding along any packages received from BM's family. BM responded by acting like she didn't understand why it wasn't appropriate. What a stupid cow.
