Hopefully after the D, X will be more likely to make decisions based on what's good for the kids, as some of the financial motivation that I think is influencing his decisions, should be gone. Realistically, I think he'll always be tough to deal with though.
I picked up the kids yesterday at noon. It was about 65 and D9 was dressed in shorts, and said her dad told her to put them on right before they left. She said her legs were really cold.
She told me after her soccer game Sat. that she took a 3 hour nap at her dad's! and afterwards X showed her a picture he had taken of her sleeping (I'm sure he wants to use for court that I'm an unfit mother).
I did celebrate S16's birthday yesterday. Made the requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for him. D9 and I did his chores, and spoiled him all day. Good to have them back!!!
