I think the dance night was a few things. I think it was a way to give W more time with the D's at my expense. The plan is for me to take them on Monday's. W will tag along for the first few (OM will not be allowed to attend.. even if I have to tell him myself).

The big deal is Monday the 7th. That's their first night. I have other plans and have no intentions on taking them.

I will not allow W to take them and I will get the law involved if MIL tries to pick them up from school and take them.

As a matter of fact, I will be speaking to the school on Wednesday to modify our "parental release" to where it HAS to go through me on Monday's and Tuesday's. Then it will be the school's ass as well. I'm itching for a reason to bust those idiots.

The other angle I could play is the fact that MIL paid for the dance classes without consulting me. It's my night (legally.. got the court papers to prove it), so I can tell Grandma to pound sand.

Their excuse was it was the only night available. I have no problem with it.. would've been nice if they would've OK'd it with me since it is my night rather than thinking "Oh.. it's for the girls, so he'll do it."

The other thing I see happening is W saying "Well.. I'm going to dance with you guys, so how about I take them home when I get off and I'll meet you there"

Part of me is OK with this, but motives, principles, etc.

I hate that this is the way things are.
