So Bm responded.

Of the 6 things Dh is asking for, she only responded to 4 of them. So as you may know, Dh is asking for Visitation to remain every weekend, shared transportation, Holidays to be split every other year, Taking turns claiming Ss on taxes every year, communication to be via our family wizard and lastly joint legal custody-which here in our is usually standard unless there is history of abuse or something crazy.

So Bm changed her number AGAIN and just called Dh. He didn't know who it was and answered and she started rattling off right away asking if he'd talked to her mom and if her mom told him how she was just in the hospital and how she almost died. Dh was like "and?" and she was like "well I can't handle court stuff right now... Your lawyer keeps calling me and they said I need to respond within 30 days and I just can't. I can't. I have too much going on to deal with this." So Dh was like "What do you want me to do?" and Bm tells him, "Can't you just pull back on court?

So I seen a quote the other day that said "the best thing a father can do is love the mother of his child." This got me thinking about my step life because dh certainly does not love Bm. What are your thoughts on this quote? I'm sure it was intended for nuclear non step families but I seen it on an acquaintance's instgram but this person is a Bm-a very unpleasant one at that. Thoughts?

So this past weekend Ss6 was acting a little off. During dinner Friday night he suddenly stopped eating and annoucned that he was sick and couldn't eat anymore. Prior to dinner Ss was acting fine and even when he said he was sick he didn't seem sick. Dh thought Ss was lying so he gave him a smartie and asked him how he felt. Ss announced that he felt better and went to bed. Dh was a little thrown off but we thought whatever and left it at that.
