So today my fiancé’s ex sent their kids “return home from visitation” plane tickets to us. We are flying them in later this month for spring break, and she bought her return half today. This is after she made a big deal both at Christmas and when we bought Spring Break itineraries ) about the airport selection saying there were closer one’s to her, and the time. She was complaining of lateness of the flights which were both around 8pm (Christmas and Spring break), and even commented on price that we could of found cheaper ones on blah blah websites.

Anyways I was happy to see that she …

1. Paid MORE for them to return home : )
2. Couldn’t find a closer airport to her, like we said, and she still has to drive 1 1/2hrs to her airport
3. There are no earlier flights than 8:50 at night

and NUMBER 4. I WON'T SEE HER ON MY STREET STALKING OUR HOUSE ALL DAY UNTIL PICK UP TIME, (LIKE SHE NORMALLY DOES) SINCE SHE'S FLYING THEM THIS TIME!!! YEA! Biggrin

Anyway's I hope she got a refundable ticket since our court hearing is in the middle of spring break, and if there are answered prayers the kids won't be returning with her! I have faith!

We have similar travel issues with BM as well.

Skids are with us for Spring Break right now. In the past, she's bitched and complained about how expensive DH's "impromptu, last minute travel plans" are (he provides no less than 30 days notice of visitation). She says waiting until the last minute is detrimental to the skids because of the high cost; somewhere they lose out eventually. She has also tried to say skids need to be back with her no later than 4pm on the day before going back to school.

Not only has she booked "standby" tickets at the last minute (so she says, but I don't really believe that), costing an additional $300 per ticket, but she has NEVER booked a flight with the skids that got them home anywhere before 4pm. The last flight SHE booked for them to return to TX with her landed at 10:30pm. I guess it's okay when it benefits her ..

We buy our tickets as a “one way”, and we pay for that proportion, and she is responsible for getting them back and any cost that in crews.

We are on temporary orders and now. Before when we had them all the time, before this mess, she was responsible for ALL transportation costs.

This is the first time in 3 years she had flown them. Even when she was 7 mths pregnant she drove down here to pick them up. I think just to show off to her ex she was “happily pregnant” :sick:

My fiance and I are both are employed, and do not have time for driving them 1100 miles; unlike like her.
The first time they were flown by us was in December she sent a nasty email about how flying them alone as unaccompanied minors, was detrimental to their fragile emotional state, that “they are just babies” come on they are 7 and 12!

We only have to give her notice of Summer Visitation ahead of time which is by April 1. Any other visitation can be arranged up to the moment of pick up time. Which for spring break it was upon release of school on the day spring break begins. Unfortanly we couldn't get a flight until @9pm, but that gives her ample time to drive her "babies" to the airport and check them in! We always give her plenty of notice (usually a month) so she shouldn't have any excuses for not being able to make arrangments for travel.
