Three times in the past year BM and her fiance have taken the skids (11 and 9) on to accident scenes (they are volunteer firefighters). DH has repeatedly told her that is unacceptable. Yesterday SD told us that BM's Fiance had left her at the firehouse (alone and unsupervised) while he ran out on an emergency call. Keep in mind this is not their paying jobs (they are also emts), rather a volunteer position, and they don't HAVE to leave on these "calls". DH went to the firestation this morning and spoke to the fire chief. He was very nice, but essentially told him this needs to stop. Children do NOT belong on the scene of accidents nor unsupervised at a fire station. The fire chief agreed and told DH that he would be talking to both BM and her fiance today about it, and going forward this would not happen again.

Of course, now DH and I are just holding our breath, waiting for the fallout from this. Since we are already in the middle of litigation over the placement schedule, I can only imagine the issues that will come up. BM is a total victim drama queen, who once tried accusing DH of being abusive (because he showed up unnanouced to her EMT job during the time that she was having an affair w/ her partner). I can see her going off on this one. Oh well....he and I both decided the most important thing was protecting the skids and to hell with her.
