Visitation weekend is near and what does that mean? BM will be contacting DH, yet again, to switch pick up and drop off with DH. She usually has some excuse about the need to work late, saying something "terrible" and last minute has come up and it will be really difficult to convince "her boss" to let her leave before a certain time on Friday evening (um, she's the boss at work...she's a partner, she doesn't report to anyone). DH replies and says, "it's fine for the kids to come later." She replies and says, "but it won't be until 11pm" or something like that.

And so it begins...now that BM has a new boyfriend she has begun her manipulations to change visitation times. It started with her just changing all the dates that she entered into the OFW calendar without notifying DH and then telling him they agreed to follow that calendar (they didn't) and that those dates had been on the calendar for over a year (they were added on October 23rd according to OFW). 
 

I said something to DH about how BM was getting divorced (confirmed by looking her up in the state court system). He replied that he noticed several months ago that her car was the only one at the house and she parked it in the middle of the driveway. Neither skid has said anything to DH about it. These are the same kids who tell BM what they had for lunch at our house (one of them literally tells her things like this), yet they don't tell DH that their stepdad and stepbrother moved out?

 For the fifth year in a row, SS has switched classes to avoid "mean" teachers and bad grades. 

SS just passed the first progress report for the year. He had an F in special ed English and a D in math. Surprise, surprise - this week, he has new teachers for both of those classes. Ironically, he is now in class with the math teacher who has given his brother a D, so I'm sure his grade won't be much better. But now, both he and BM can feel better.
