Just found out SD11 will NOT be spending the summer with us! H asked BM to contibute to the childcare bill & just as I suspected she said it was too much money & decided to put her in another childcare program by her house the was MUCH cheaper & H will b contibuting to that instead.

So now I wonder why this option wasn't presented in the first place (apparently SD's childcare costs are not a concern until BM might have to contribute), but whatever the reason, this has lifted a GREAT stress off my shoulders, as I was prepared to explain tonight why I could not agree to this visit until we see how marriage counseling goes first.

One less thing to stress about, but unfortunately the visit itself was not the problem & neither is SD11 herself, so we still have a long way to go...

I am glad it all worked.

Cheaper works out for everyone.

Of course it couldn't last!

BM called this evening stating that the daycare she had lined up for SD this summer fell through, so now we are back to the original plan I guess with SD coming here? Actually I'm not sure yet because H really only told me this to complain about BM not returning the money he gave her for half the other daycare & whether or not she can pay for her share of one here.

I guess it doesn't matter anymore because I'm in a different place now. The original "compromise" stands (1 month versus 2, H pays for BS1's daycare too, & equal, age-appropriate treatment including discipline) or H is welcome to keep SD anywhere he wants this summer, except here!
