How many different ways do I have to say it???
BM IS NOT ALLOWED AT MY HOME! It is a very simple instruction. There is no way to misinterpret what I am saying. Yet BM keeps asking to pick SD up here and DH keeps asking me if it's ok. And I keep say the same thing - NO, not now, not ever, no, no, NO!
There are many reasons: My home is my sanctuary. It is where I am supposed to feel safe and secure. I don't want to always be walking around feeling anxious and panicky waiting for BM to show up. I already share everything with that bitch - she had my DH first, she got to make a baby with him, she gets his money, and the rest of our money along with much of our time and energy is spent fighting the non-stop drama that she brings. It's the one thing in my life that is BM-free and I want to keep it that way. There is also a long back-story involved as well, but it's too long to write about here.
In the last 3 years, BM has asked DH directly several times to pick SD up here. When that doesn't work, she tries to negotiate it into the CO. We got another call from our attorney yesterday saying she wants to switch exchanges to the parent's homes. DH called me to ask what I thought. I immediately started saying NO, NO, NO. DH interrupts with "Hear me out, she has a good point..." I couldn't believe him. What about MY point? Does he even care how I feel?
Then when we were on a conference call to the attorney about it, DH says "well, maybe in a few years..." I thought I was going to lose my mind. Are both of them deaf? I said NO, NOT NOW, NOT IN A FEW YEARS. THIS WILL NEVER BE NEGOTIABLE. The attorney and I almost got into it at that point. I told both of them to never come to me again with that request. If she makes it, she or her attorney need to be told NO, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. THE END.

Is she asking to enter your
Is she asking to enter your home or just pick up outside of the house?
She says that she will stay
She says that she will stay outside in the car, but that is a lie. The one and only time DH (against my wishes) allowed her to pick up from our home, she told him the same thing. But there she was, on our enclosed front porch, knocking on our door, waiting for SD because she was 20 minutes early. Our enclosed porch is like an extra room, btw. I view it as an extension of my home. She lies all the time, about everything. I have zero reason to trust her.
Maybe I should put a sign on
Maybe I should put a sign on the front door, like "No BM allowed". After seeing it everyday, maybe it would seep into DH's brain?
YYeah, at a neutral meeting
YYeah, at a neutral meeting spot. Never, not even in the original CO, has exchange been at DH's house. Always neutral or BM's. Of course BM is very skilled at convincing DH to change things if it is more "convenient" or "better for SD". Translation: suits BM's agenda. Exchanges at home always escalate to her causing a scene, harassing us, or witholding SD. She just wants the facetime with DH in a non-public place. That is why we put no home exchanges in the new CO, judge agreed with us, and of course it's the main thing BM has fought hardest against. I have no idea why she suddenly thought she should give it another try. She told her attorney "because she and DH have been getting along so well lately". Um, no, we haven't been talking to you at all lately. And I'd like to keep it that way, thank you very much.
I agree with you 100 percent.
I agree with you 100 percent. BM is not allowed to even drop kids in the driveway here. This is my home and I don't like her even looking at it. Plus I don't want to be reminded of her and if she is in my driveway that is a BIG reminder. That is why they have a meeting spot in the CO. DH has suggested we let her pick up here and this is a matter I will not even consider. She is nasty and unstable and I will not subject my child to potential bad behavior. Sorry DH.
I guess I'm lucky. BM is
I guess I'm lucky. BM is required to p/u and drop off at our house, but she is always a no show.
I guess in a way I'm lucky...
I guess in a way I'm lucky... BM always boo-hoo's to the judge that she has no car so she can't even meet at the grocery store, nevermind do HALF of all the DIFFICULT transportation.. So we drive an hour one-way for pick up AND drop off at her doorstep. When she witholds we make that trip for funsies
I don't think at this point I'd want her near my home either. So I understand, neutral meeting spots are a really good option. I don't understand ti fight against them (in your case and mine)
