I wonder if BM really has had a change of heart. She didn't help SD get anything for DH's bday in January (which I know isn't her obligation) but since 50/50 started about 3 months ago, BM has "apologized" for the past and told DH how "amazing" and what a great dad he has been all this time. Insert massive eyeroll and vomit. These praises and apologies were all through text messages , never in person, of course. I can see through it all because I think she always has a motive.

DH asked me to take SD to camp today because he had to go to work at 5am to get work knocked out before they opened. Today is also crazy hair day for SD and I'm better with hair so I decided to step in. If you all can't tell, I am having a hard time disengaging even though it's driving me crazy. I don't think I'll ever fully get it. Her hair is too long to spike like she wanted but I pinned and tied skewers in her hair to hold it up and it turned out ok. I didn't get a thank you but at least she liked it and was cheery when she said bye to me.

I'm sure you are all sick of my venting but I have no other outlet. I picked SD up from summer camp which is at her school and couldn't get into the front door. That is how I got in yesterday so I *assumed* today would be no different. After ringing the doorbell with no answer, I call SD and she is short tempered with me and acts like I should know how to get her. I tell her that I would appreciate her being helpful instead of a smart alec. I get to the gate that has a code on it and call her again because there is no other way in. After she gives me the code she hangs up on me.

Is pretty much non-existant. He never interacts with her when he gets home from work and works at least 12 hour days 6-7 days a week. No joke. As many of you remember, the new 50/50 arrangement isn't COed and probably never will be. He still owes BM $450/ month but refuses to go back to court because he can almost guarantee that she'll fight it because she loves and needs the control.
