The Fab 5 and Dad

[J5K]

It has been a hectic couple of weeks. I am trying to sustain some normalcy and routine with the boys. Overall they are happy but it is apparent they have all regressed with behavior issues. I tend to keep it together and am in bed about an hour after they fall asleep! LOL!

The new school has been great in assisting and helping the boys focus. Lots of support and love for them. I have also signed them up for karate and one other activity.

My afternoon nanny starts next week, cannot wait to get some help to assist the boys in becoming the best men they can be.

XW and I are still up and down, she continues to blame all kid issues on me. Our conversations are more cordial, but tend to drift towards her criticizing me and what I have not completed based on her timeframe of when things should be done. I can no longer take that type of conversation and politely dismiss myself from the conversations.

She has now filed a motion saying I am denying her weekend visits with the boys and not adhering to the judgement, which is completely untrue. She sees them once per month and has never exercised her parenting time in Michigan. This is a matter of her interpretation of the judgement vs. mine.

I had no choice but to file a counter motion. She has made statements that she cannot take the boys on their mid winter break, spring break, and summer because she will not be able to afford it. If this is truly the case then I have no choice but to change the circumstances and request child support now.

Of course her perspective will be that I am being punitive towards her. My L also wants to lock down and define visitation more clearly so that XW and I do not go around in circles debating which weekend the boys visit with her.
