Six months later--the truth is out there

[BeingMe]

Honestly, I don't think she should be staying at her dad's during a school week. It's ridiculous having to disrupt her life like this. I'm not sure what you can do --- maybe come to some agreement with your H about having her every second weekend, and one visit during the week, but no sleepovers then. Maybe now is the time to put some boundaries into place, and let him see that this is hurting D12, and is unnecessary. Let him start feeling the consequences of his actions --- he should feel it, not D12. He can, of course, phone her whenever he feels like it, I'm sure. This, of course, plays right into your desire to not have 50/50 custody. He chose to live far away, so he made it difficult ... not you.

How DARE the principal shout at you. Most unprofessional. I hope you put him in his place very firmly. Next time he has the audacity to shout, just tell him you will not be spoken to in this fashion, and when he can do so calmly and professionally, then you will listen. Then put the phone down.

Time to put you foot down, maybe. I also think that SPM has something there.
