Does that ever happen? I'm not asking for perfection, just a little less wishy washy planning and drama every other day. We drafted a custody schedule for the upcoming year with everyone's days and times and holidays all worked out and pretty and they signed a consent form so they have something now before they are modifying custody forms officially. (She agreed!!!) And since then she has been staying in multiple hotels dropped her son off on her few weekend days with DH's mom and flaked on at least two pickups a week, dropped him off late today and is asking to change the schedule the again because she can't get him to school on time. So now there is a chance she won't ever see his school. At this point, all I've been saying is as long as we can make it work, say yes and document errrrything. I would love to be in a situation where they could make this work no court involved, but it's like she's building an unfit mom case herself and were just watching her do it. So now on Friday's she wants DH to meet her halfway after school, she's moving two hours away into a place with her mom that may or may not exist yet depending on what day you ask her the new address her son will staying which she hasn't provided yet and drop him off sunday night. So we have to go back and make a new schedule and hurry and get new court papers filled out so she can't keep adding or removing days every 5 seconds. 'I want this, but now I want this and not this, and NOW I want this and not that' :sick:

And on the one hand I'm always happy to have him, always and I love being as involved as I can, I don't mind but it's also just sad. She left all the copies of school info and paperwork in his backpack that I made sure were labeled mom and DH told her to take because they were hers and she freaked out cuz she couldn't find his birth certificate which was with all the other paperwork, and I was sitting right next to him when he said he was returning it all together because she'd asked for it back. And it was all just still in his backpack today. So were keeping the BC since she obviously can't be responsible for keeping it in a safe place (like where, the hotel safe?) and I'm putting ANOTHER sticky reiterating that we always make sure there are dad/mom copies we keep his and she should take hers. Since she can't be bothered to speak to anyone at the school.

AAnd she had the nerve to say that she could've kept her job close by if we had just kept him in the school she didn't want to send him to originally and given her time to get the money to pay tuition, so to cover her with our money until she could.... But she was the one who gave the school his two weeks before she even told us, so I dunno how that works out in her convoluted head. And she didn't get let go? Like she said, when she said she was losing her job in two weeks?? I'm so confused. It's all lies and cover ups. We are just keeping track now and hoping it will be enough for legal custody to go to him next year. Also though, of course, it would be just as awesome if she got it together.
