I have no idea where to get this out so here goes....

Last night DH went to pick up SD8, she threw a fit and did not want to go. His ex amped up the drama, encouraged the kids behavior and even pushed him up against a wall. She has been out of control in the past, but this was by far the worst.

When he finally got her in the car, what did he do? Took her straight to her gymanstics class. I was in shock - let's go ahead and reward shitty conduct. Awesome job.

We have SD on Tuesday nights. FDH takes her to gymnastics from 7p-8p on Tuesdays, back to our house afterwards. BM does not work (shock) and sometimes feeds SD before we pick her up and sometimes she doesn't. We never know if she is going to need dinner or not.

She is a super picky eater - if you ask her what she wants to eat she will tell you 'meat'. Forget vegetables and salads. So, I decided to be safe last night and made hamburgers - meat, smart of me, right? Nope...

Soooo, BM calls FDH this wekeend to give him and update on their SD8's therapy session.

Here we go:

She doesn't think it is necessary for their child to see a therapist and she is not going to participate any longer.

She thinks the therapist is making too big of a deal out of the fact that SD hits, pinches and kicks my DD.

She is NOT going to change her parenting style and doesn't think he should either (from how it was before he met me).

This is the best one.......

I took everyone's advice to heart and reached out to my ExH. I called twice (he did not answer) and have sent an email, with pictures attached, very nicely asking for their version of what happened.

Nothing, no response, virtual tumbleweeds for a response.

My kids have all asked not to go to his house this weekend and told them they are alwasy welcome at home but they have to own their relationship with their dad and they have to communicate their wishes to him directly. The older 2 sent him texts last night telling him they want to stay home this weekend.
