I'm sure BM is seething

For context, our CO gives DH Labor Day weekend every year, but it also has a stipulation that if SS has a football game at any point over Labor Day weekend, we forfeit our visit and BM keeps SS for that weekend. The game has to be indicated on the official team schedule or it's a no go. 

A few weeks ago, BM and DH emailed back and forth, confirming that SS would be visiting for Labor Day Weekend since there was no football game. BM demanded that DH adjust pick-up to 4:00 p.m. to accommodate the second half of football practice on that Friday. Last year, DH did this and practice ended up getting last minute due to projected low attendance, resulting in DH losing an hour with SS because of the 4-hour travel time. DH explained to BM that he would allow SS to finish practice, but DH would still be arriving to BMLand at 3:00 p.m., in the event practice was canceled or ended early. He reiterated the events of last year that resulted in an hour of lost parenting time. BM passive aggressively went off on DH, including team chat screenshots, trying to say that last year's practice was actually canceled due to weather, that DH was wrong, and that DH had to stop being difficult and stop interfering with SS' sport commitments. DH didn't respond. 

This morning, DH received an email from SS' coach, canceling practice for Friday, again due to projected low attendance. DH immediately emailed BM stating "I saw coach's email, canceling practice on Friday due to projected low attendance. I will be picking SS up from your house at 3:00 p.m. as per the CO." I'm sure BM is seething, since BM can never ever be wrong and BM thinks DH is such an idiot. The coach is offering an optional practice on Saturday, but our CO only states that accomodations will be made for games, not practices, so even if BM fires back, trying to cancel the weekend, she won't have a leg to stand on.

It's about time BM eats her words, even though we know she will never admit she's wrong. T-minus 5 days until SS arrives. I am hoping this visit goes smooth. Luckily it is short (3 days) and he won't return again until Christmas.

I was hoping that SS would be unavailable this Labor Day weekend, but I am laughing an evil laugh about BMonster. I hope all goes well!

Luckily, we are super busy next weekend with family visiting and home improvement projects, so my interaction with SS13 will be minimal. For 3 days, I can easily make that work.

when these toxic BMs and/or adult SKs get their due rewards. Here's to a peaceful three days for you, Castle...while the BM and GF fume. LOL

The coach is offering an optional practice on Saturday,

If the coach can't get enough kids for a Friday practice, the odds of getting enough on Saturday are infinitesimally small. I'd expect an email cancelling the optional Saturday will soon be coming.

We aren't even entertaining a request for SS to attend the Saturday practice if BM asks. We are under no obligation to accommodate those.

What an exhausting b-word of a BM to have to deal with.
