So after winning custody almost 3 years ago, DH is actually contemplating letting SS12 go live with his mom.
DH's first reaction 2 weeks ago when SS12 said he wanted to go live with his mom was "No way!", but now it's "maybe".
We spent thousands of $ on a lawyer, and there were good reasons why the judge granted DH custody instead of his ex-wife. But ever since, his ex-wife has been pounding it into SS12's head that he has the right to declare where and with whom he wants to live at the ripe old age of 12.
Wishy-washy flippy-floppy, someone please teach SS12 how to make a decision and stick with it!
NO-YES-NO: So last week was the boys' Spring Break, and my sister invited to take them both to the zoo with her kids. BS12 said he wanted to go when I asked him, and SS12 said no, he'd rather stay at home. The next day DH asks me for the 8th time what the kids are doing the rest of the week, and I told them that my sister was taking BS12 to the zoo with her tomorrow and then Friday since I have off of work, I'm taking both of the boys snowboarding. So DH goes into the other room with SS12 and comes back and announces that SS now wants to go to the zoo, too. I'm like, ok.
The "Real Reason" that SS12 wants to go live with his mom is because of me...
So after being married for a few years and having primary custody of our SS12 for the last 2 1/2, my SS12 just announced that he wants to go live with his mom. He has been talking about how he doesn't like the school that he goes to anymore, that he hates the desert, that he misses his mom and his older half brother and wants to give it a try for a year to see if he likes it better out there. Well that was the version that he told me.
