I have my own opinion about this, but I was wondering what you all think about the acceptable range of behaviors in relation to age?

(warning: this post will have gross stuff in it, so prepare for TMI)

1) I think that a six year old child should be able to go to the bathroom by himself and that six is too old to not be able to wipe yourself after a no. 2!! Any thoughts on this? Am I expecting too much out of a six year old?

2) At what age is a kid supposed to be able to know the alphabet and write their own name? Approximately?

So we gave BM the initial papers our lawyer wrote up for us and she was calm and agreeable until she saw that since we would be 50/50, she would get very little CS, if any at all. She then threw a hissy fit over the phone (to H) and hung up on him when he was in mid sentence! She couldn't have made it more obvious that it's not her kids she cares about, but the money.

Any halfsies out there? We are suing for 50/50 custody with no child support and would love and appreciate advice for those who have experience with this (and working out custody issues with batpoo crazy BPDer's). Legally, H and BM share joint legal and physical custody and BM has residential custody, although we have them overnight some too. I know that setting up precedents really helps and I am happy we thought of that a year ago!

I have been lobbying to get my SS11 to go to the Summer camp I went to as a kid and I did all the research and we qualify for a 50% scholarship, so that means out of the 400.00 it costs for one week, we will only have to pay 100 and Bm 100. She's in the doghouse with H at the moment so I think she would probably agree if H wanted to shave their head and make them wear dresses, lol! Well, so H talked to her today about the summer plans for the skids and after they hammered that out, H brought up the camp and she agreed! Yay!
