Not well. That I get the $1600 child support each month and that I should pay for everything. And have I gotten a job yet, and hopefully a full-time one now that the kids are in school.
I emailed back that I have spent thousands on extra therapies, medication, and dentist bills that non-autistic children don't have ($800 is the standard amount not considering autism expenses). I will put the money into her lunch account b/c she wants to get school lunches, but will have to use the money that I wanted to use to get the kids haircut this week (they needed them a month ago!) I ignored the job part as usual. He's just an a$$.
S15 told me he needs his progress report he got yesterday to return to his 2nd period teacher tomorrow. I had no message or info re: the progress report. I emailed X that he can drop it off while we are at the grocery store this afternoon (I told him the time) or make his own arrangements to get to the teacher tomorrow whichever he prefers. I said as coparents I think both parents should receive progress reports/grades, and I would appreciate it if he would copy or scan them for me as I have been doing with S15's virtual school grades for the past couple years. Saved it in my "divorce" file of emails I'm saving, as my L had told me if you aren't informing the other parent can be considered in custody decisions.
I agree to him having the kids Sunday night or Saturday afternoon (alternating weekends) until Tues. morning. The big argument seems to be over Tuesdays. I think it's crazy for them to start out mornings with him (well his apt. anyway he's out running or at work), and then afternoons with me, and then evenings with him again. His rationale to me was that he wanted to reduce switching/back and forth with the kids, which I think is good, but he just wants Tues. night to reduce his child support imho.
His actions this last 2 weeks have made me determined to try to cut down his custody time as much as I possibly can, a 180 from my attitude this past 2 years. He will hurt the kids just to help himself; and that's just wrong.
Thanks for calling! i've been super busy with the play. We got home at 9:30 last night not too bad, but I'm going to let D9 get babysat by S15 (I'm paying him) so they can get some good sleep tonight. I'll take the kids tomorrow night though since no school Saturday.
