Went on a hike yesterday with DH, SD16, SD20, BIL, and niece. It a mountain hike that starts of at the base and begins the assent right away. Hike was a level 3-4 (out of 5) and it was 27 C (not sure what that is for you Americans!). Should have taken us four hours return.

SD20 does zero activity and is about 50 lbs overweight. I said to DH before we started that this wasn't a good idea.

DH has not received any documentation with regards to SD20s financial situation regarding the amount of her student loans she has received for the second semester or for Intersession.

All DH has is an email from BM stating that she did not send any documentation because SD20 does not need assistance this year for her post secondary education.

BM has stated that SD20 has applied and been approved for intersession as well and IF SD20 requires financial assistance in the future BM will forward the documentation that she thinks he will need.

DH comes home and says that SD20 wanted him to ask me if my place of work did "work terms" for students from the college (she is currently enrolled in Office Administration). I was so shocked I blurted "Is she cracked?!!!!"

I couldn't help it! I think DH was kinda miffed at my tone but it was a totally shocked response. The nerve of some people.

Anyway...after my initial reaction I told DH that under no circumstances would I recommend her for a work term at my place of work..NOPE!!! That's all I would need to have a reporter for BM at work every day!

So we requested (through the mediator) a copy of BM's insurance coverage for SD15, income information for BM and SD20, college costing and student loan amounts received for SD20 and a couple of other things. She sends along the the info to the mediator who forwards along to us. All well and good.

After reviewing the information we find that the Vision section she printed off empty from the website states "We are unable to display the requested information at this time. Please refer to your handbook or contact a representative".
