Long story short.....we have been battling with BM for months on changing decree to 50/50 time. She has been dragging her feet on signing anything and constantly has changes to prevent anything from being final. FINALLY we were able to sign off after having to agree to 7 days on/7 days off instead of the Mon-Tuesday, Wed-Thurs and every other weekend that we have been doing without the final decree being signed AND paying the full child support since early Spring.

We have just started 7 on/7 off and SD comes to us last night to tell us her mom will pick her up from school and take her back there since BM is off on Tuesdays. WTH! After she left I talked to DH and said I thought we agreed that with everything that has gone on since Spring we would not agree to any changes whether from BM or SD. We can't even get through one the first week with the new schedule with BM having input on our time. We didn't initially propose 7 on/7off because DH didn't want to go 7 days without seeing SD. Apparently BM was happy to have 7 days kid free, but wait now that we are doing it...she needs to see SD.

I'm frustrated with DH with no spine on this. We are doing the schedule based on SD/BM request. SD can ride bus to Mom's or friends and we can get her there (we don't live in the district). DH said if BM is off why can't she get her? HELLO because we have a decree in place that says 7 on/7 off. There has never been cooperation between those two since the divorce. We have had PAS, etc. Why does he always give in??!! My thoughts would be...I'm sorry you worked this out with your Mom, but this is our time with you and we will work on the details.

When we started the new schedule (without it being finalized in Court) in the Spring, we had her every Wed/Thursday and every other weekend. I would pick her up from the neighbor's house across the street from BM. SD considers the neighbors family since they babysat her since she was born. We never delt with Mon/Tuesdays so this week is the first of that and already BM is trying to call the shots. What is ROFR in the agreement?

Amen to that! They are so afraid of making either BM or kids mad, but some how we when suggest something WE are the bad guys. I like the post on dis-engaging. I need to do that more for my own sanity!!
