So, I'm a little irritated. D8 told me tonight that I'm going to have two weekends in a row with them because mom will be taking them trick or treating on Halloween.
Um, what? STBX never mentioned anything to me about having them 10/31, or changing the schedule. As is I have plans to take them to my best friends house so that all of our children can trick or treat together.
I'm totally at a loss for what to say to STBX. I mean, first off you don't tell kids about changes to schedules without getting agreement first. Second it's awfully presumptuous to assume that I am not capable of getting them costumes or taking them out.
I was thinking of writing a rough draft for review by the DB forums...but actually I'm not going to send STBX an email at all. Why should I? I'm not going to ask permission to parent my children, nor am I going to lecture her on how to parent. Instead I will simply proceed with my plans. At some point she'll have to mention a schedule change to me at which point I will decline. But I see no reason I need to bring it up.
I can't wait until court.
