Agreed, bold AND stupid. And she even got the doctor to write an excuse... wow. That's something SS's BM has never done. I would think that the doctor could get in a little trouble also for writing an excuse that was not based on the findings of an exam.

I hope you saved the pics to your documents!

what an idiot! good for you though, this proves that she continues to lie, control and alienate DH.

I am glad that your DH called the doctor and got more clarification. I understand where the doctor was coming from but I still feel it was unethical for him to write a note that was not based on the findings of an exam. Doctors, especially pediatricians, should know that parents pull this kind of crap on each other all the time. It should have been a red flag to him when she requested he write that SD couldn't come on visitation. Maybe he was worried that he would lose her as a patient, I don't know, but that shouldn't be motivation to basically be a pawn in BM's PAS game.

I am one of those loonies that is of the belief that it doesn't matter HOW sick a kid is - unless they are admitted in a hospital - if they are supposed to go for visitation then they need to go to visitation. The NCP is just as capable of giving fluids and medications and keeping the kid in bed as the CP is. So I would have had MAJOR issues to begin with that someone would imply that just because you guys weren't the CP meant that you were incapable of giving SD proper care while she was ill.

BM pulls this crap several times a year (especially after we have a new baby) claiming that SS can't come on visitation because he's sick. BF has bought it a time or two at first and let SS stay home but after that, the rule became he's coming whether he's well or not. He can just as easily stay in the bed at our house. And every single time, SS has never been as sick as BM claimed he was (and sometimes he wasn't sick at all). I couldn't tell you how many times SS would accidentally mention that he had gone places or been outside playing with his cousins when he was supposedly so sick that he missed a week of school and couldn't get out of bed.

Hopefully your DH will adopt a similar stance especially considering that you guys have proof that this was a blatant lie on BM's part. Like the doctor said, it doesn't supercede a court order anyway and your DH has every right to refuse to let SD stay home in instances like this.
