Why is she being so nice?
It is funny how when BM is mad it makes life unhappy and on pins and needles but on the flip side when she is happy and in good mood it is no different. Why is that? I will tell you why... because she is so awful hateful all the other times that when she is nice it means she is up to something or wants something.
About 3 weeks ago SS teacher sent BM a list of times for Parent Teacher Conference. Then on Wed she sent on with SS that said his dad's name and my name on it. Well BM saw it before we picked SS up and wrote all over it that she SS's mom did not need to meet with her. Then she yelled at H saying that StepG is not his mom and I do not know what yall have going on at that school but I am going to call and set them straight. She yelled at H going out of the driveway that he was a piece of crap and he did not take care of his son etc all the while son in the car with H hearing it all. Now comments of you do not take care of your son towards the dad who bought all ss's school clothes and she threw them out in the front yard cause she did not want him to say in court that he had bought the school clothes then proceeded to chunk the school supplies that H bought out into the yard as well. No count dad comments being spewed toward the dad who begs for extra time with his son and finances about 90% of all things for SS on top of the $140 a week child support. Then BM rants about me that I am trying to be his mom I am not his mom and wishes that we would get a kid of our own. All the while telling SS these things and making him feel like crap. When she makes promises to SS and has never followed through with any of them.
So around about last week BM got her discovery papers requesting all her financials and asking her to admit/deny that she hits on her boyfriend, that she talks crap about H in presence of SS, that she rushes SS off phone with dad by telling him you burning up my minutes, that she curses dad in front of SS, requesitng all days missed from school last year (17 of them and dates why). So we figured she would be pissed because at the same time she gets this info calling out her behavior she gets the response to our discovery which included our documentation that stated things SS had told us about his moms house and the fighting. Yesterday H went to get SS for our Wed night visit and BM was soooo nice acting like nothing was wrong. She call H into the house to show school pictures and to see if Step G wanted to go to SS halloween party cause she would mark her down and she was going to. WHAT? Just last week H was a piece of crap that did not take care of his kid and StepG was not his mom and needed to leave her son alone. So you see I cannot take her good with open arms. Is it the calm before a big blow? SS tell us that his mom wants him for Halloween. It falls on her weekend but is our year. H and I agreee to not ask for him as the holidays go our way this year and she will try to change them so we leaving it alone. SS tells us that his mom is going to make him cut up his spiderman suit from 3 years ago and make a new one. We tell SS we will get him costume. So yesterday BM says are you getting SS a costume or am I. H says well SS says you are going to make him cut up his spiderman suit and make a new one and I am not having my son going to school or trick treating like that. She said oh I was just kidding with him and the girls (her bf's kids) about that. He said well did you go get them costumes and she said no he said exactly I will get him one. She said with smile OK and let me know if Step G wants to go to Halloween party. I am sorry but I think it is worse when she is nice cause I know it is all butt kissing and fake.
On the up and up H did got to parent teacher conference and SS teacher said that his teacher last year warned her about BM and said that BM almost cussed her out on several occasions last year which she has documented and is willing to give us. So our lawyer is going to call and request it. Then teacher said that the word around the school is (it is a small school) is that SS teachers do not see how he preforms as well as he does given what goes on at his home!!!! The only thing I can figure here is BM's neighbor works at the school and has gotten into fight with BM before and knows/hears what goes on. Remember BM was abusive to H in forms of slapping, hitting, punching, and beating in face whith the heel of a high heel shoe. So from what SS tells us same thing still goes on and neighbor has seen and heard it and told it at school.
So we will see what her discovery period brings out. I think it is good that we have the stuff from SS teacher and both teachers say they will give deposition about how involved H and how they say he is one of the few dads in the teaching career that cares so much. What do ya'll think about what the teachers and that docuementaion about BM by a 3rd unbias party can do for us in our quest for extra time with SS?
The only thing good about BM being in good mood is SS thinks it is for real his mom is being nice and he does not feel so torn. He is at peace and jumped on his dad when he saw him yesterday rather than greeting him while he walks on his bottom lip. Why can't BM see his attitude is hers.

I posted the same thing
about a week ago. When BM is nice I always think something is up. She only stayed nice for a couple of days though and then it was back to normal.
I feel the same as you do when BM is nice, she does that much damage to our home life when she is in her moods that when she's nice I don't want to hear it, or I think its the calm before the storm.
I've always said to BF that if ever BM was to one day realise (high hopes, i know) that she has been a big idiot (i could use much hasher words but i decided not to ;))for the last 4 years and wants to have a normal, calm and non aggressive relationship with us, that I would bite my tonge but only for the sake of skids and BF otherwise she has burnt too many bridges with me that can't be repaired and I would much rather have absolutly nothing to do with her.
I think that its great you have documentation from SS's teachers. Anything and everything documented will help you guys. I can't see why they wouldn't give your DH more visitation time it's not like he is going for full custody or anything, from what I've heard they like to see that the child is spending enough time with each of the parents.
Good Luck!
