So glad I'm not the one who will be dealing with the mornings!
After dealing with YET AGAIN last minute "planning" thanks to BM waiting until yesterday to ask SO if he wanted to get SDs yesterday or today for his week (school year is usually Mon-Mon and it's tended to be Sun-Sun this summer) ... he informs her if they can wait until today, he'll get them after his doctor appt. Then she proceeds to tell him they have a hair appt at 4:30 today ... so what IF SO had gotten them yesterday? He's supposed to drive an additional half hour to take them to their free hair cut that she scheduled on HIS WEEK! Yet again, she just does something w/o even talking to him ... what if his doctor appt was at 4pm?! (I know "what ifs" don't really matter, but it's the point of it all w/her continually just planning their appt's, etc on his week with no regard to his schedule. I'm trying to just let it go since it doesn't really affect me and my time ... but I'm just getting sick of it and him not saying shit to her!) Fortunately, SO's mom said she would take the girls to their hair appt and then keep them overnight since they'll be going back to school next week and she won't see them as much and then SO can go pick them up tomorrow and take them to get their schedules/ID pics taken. So, it's worked out ok.
I'm at work trying to get some stuff done and get a text that says "They want bangs." I quickly responded "NOOOOOOOOO!" First off, SD12 has no clue how to fix her hair ... I've tried to clue her in to some tips here & there but she doesn't take too kindly to tips from me (or anyone really). I guess maybe because BM still does her hair for her she figures she doesn't need to really "fix it." And I think SD13 could handle bangs ok but she's going to need A LOT MORE TIME in the morning to get ready now compared to what she used to already need! I told him that I didn't think it's a good idea and I don't think either one of them realize how much extra time they are now going to need to get ready. And then I said, "YOU are the parent, you can so NO, end of discussion. It's going to be disastrous in the mornings. I promise you." He agreed and sent a text to his mom to tell her don't let them ... and then I get a text that says "It's too late." Oh man! Thank goodness I am just about leaving the house for work when they get up in the morning once school starts. I foresee some "interesting" mornings ahead ...

Yeah, our BM does that too.
Yeah, our BM does that too. Schedules EVERYthing on SOs time. SO would say well I will just do it and next time she takes me to court for something the judge will see bla bla bla.
Im like " no the judge will say Thanks dad. good job."
And since SO is no contact with BM she gets away with it cuz he wont even contact to say no.
She actually sends text that say, *well since you wont talk to me I have sched skids appts for these days and times and you must get them there and pay for it.*
DH and BM and the SBrats are why I gave up long ago.
Yes, even when we lived
Yes, even when we lived closer and even after he's given her a copy of his class schedule, she would still schedule appts that coincided with his classes! Sometimes he will reschedule but when it's the day before, it's kind of hard. This instance worked out "ok," but it still drives me bonkers! I don't understand it but she has an entire weekday off on the weeks we have the girls ... so you'd think she could maybe schedule something on her day once in a while!
BM used to do that on
BM used to do that on purpose. She would schedule stuff and make sure she didn't have SD11, then FREAK OUT if we couldn't take her. Then she told SO that they should BOTH go to a dentist appointment. He said ,"Hell NO, you take her OR I will take her " BMs solution, just not take her at all. I've had SO, MIL, and BM1 get pissed at me for not taking her to an appointment. Ha ha , no one can be responsible for this kid.
