My husband has been working a lot of late hours recently. Last night he got home about 11 pm (after kids were in bed). BD4 woke up this morning at 7 am and was lucky enough to find husband still home. She was very excited to see him, and they cuddled together in bed. BD1 woke up a few minutes later, asking for dad. I took her in there, and they were enjoying their time with dad.

Alas, it was not to be. SD15 saw them and decided to ruin it. She informed her dad that she missed the bus and needed a ride to school. By implying that it was his fault (he told her the bus comes at 7:05 am but it actually comes at 6:50 am) she laid on the guilt. Problem is, the kid is supposed to ride the bus every day. So she knows what time it comes.

Anyway, husband took SD to school and left BDs 4 and 1 home crying with me. We had to leave a few minutes later, so they only got to see daddy for less than 15 minutes this morning.

He said, "Well, she can't walk to school." Why not? It's only a mile away and she's had to walk home before, although he had to hear from BM about that.

She knew what time the bus comes. I told him she never pulls that when he's not there, but she's done it three times in the past month of so when he is there.
