I could swear today is Friday the 13th. But, alas, it is not. It's just ONE of THOSE days.
Court didn't go the way I planned, but it could have been worse. The same judge we have had everytime that was soooo on my side all those times before...today, was not. Not so much. H didn't get 50/50 - thank the Lord on that one. However, the judge did give him every other weekend starting now. She's 9 months old. He doesn't have a job. There are two boys and a newborn living with him. He will be responsible for 4 children, 2 of them being infants...by himself once OW goes back to work in a couple weeks. WTF???? The judge even asked my H "Do you have any experience with infants?" My H's response "here and there in High School babysitting." Again, WTF was he thinking. I pointed out that I thought it would be in K's best interest to wait until she was 18 months. This would give him some time to get used to his newborn and K would be a little older. Nope. Didn't matter. The judge said "People multitask all the time." Ummm, haven't you met my H? He can't even take care of himself, much less 2 infants and two older boys. She doesn't even have her own room. Her crib is in the boys' room. I was upset. But, I held it in until after the hearing. H knew how upset I was. He acknowledged it. I told him that I didn't think he was a neglectful father. Just that I thought we should take it slower and let him have time with his son and see how that went before he took on the responsibility of our daughter, too. I can't believe that she is going to be away from me overnight, so soon. Every other weekend was what I agreed to...WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE OLDER....hello???? But, now I will have to be away from her for a whole weekend.
