BM finally made her "request"...

Or more accurately, her demand, that we allow her to take SD to her sister's wedding. Of course, she sent the email to DH's old email address that she has been told not to use b/c it was hacked a few months ago so DH set up a more secure account that is linked to his phone. BM has had no problem using DH's new address for the last 6 months or more, then suddenly he received a hateful email at his NEW address yesterday asking why he hadn't responded to any of her questions, etc. that she had been emailing him. They got into a huge fight (via email) about how she had never received his change of email notice, blah, blah, blah.

When he got home, he logged into his old account & there were about 5 emails sent within the last month. Most of them were stupid notifications of school fundraisers & the like, but of course her "request" to take SD out of town on his weekend was there too. Now why in the world would someone use the proper email address for months then, out of the blue, begin using an old, defunct one again?? And only when they want to make a request that they thought would likely be refused? I'm not sure what she's up to with these stupid email games but I'm sure it's something. I mean, it's like she sent the email to the old address hoping he wouldn't find it & respond, but then she emailed the new address ranting that he hadn't responded? WTF?

Now on to the "request" email...

Which wasn't a request at all. It was more like a notification along the lines of "My sister is getting married in Dumbassville the weekend of x/x/xxxx. Not sure when we will be leaving b/c of all the snow days but I will let you know when I find out."

No "please allow SD to switch weekends", no "do you mind if I take SD to this wedding on your weekend", no mention of make-up days, no "sorry if this is an inconvenience to you", nothing. She is such a bitch. I kind of want DH to just respond "No, I do not agree to this" now & force her to get an attorney to fight it out.

It won't work if she is the custodial parent. If's she is anything like my husband's ex, she'll take her anyway and deal with the fallout later. You can waste 40 grand trying to teach them a lesson. It just isn't worth it.

If she did not actually mention taking SD with her then you could consider this a 'notification' she will be out of town.

So respond with "OK, thank you for letting me know. SD will be fine with us while you are away."
