Great idea, Karla

and sounds like you agree, too, eh, Robyn?

Robyn, Just make the offer to drop the kids off on Saturday mornings. It would all be contingent upon his availability to receive the children. He must be there. The kids are to let you know if he is there. If not, you take the kids home with you. Yes, it's a pain, but it takes away his power and his attempt to manipulate the system.

He would return the kids on Sunday at a set time when you will be home to get the kids.

Just by you making the offer it may end this. Perhaps you will never need to make the trip. Maybe you will only need to stick with the plan for a couple of weekends. He may find a reason why he won't be available, but that would end the plan to make you look as if you are trying to alienate DAIB from his kids.

You would be both doing the same amount of driving for now. When there is legal custody and visitation set, it will be easier than this disagreeable mess.

With Thanksgiving coming up it may give you some advantage. You have the kids for the holiday, but you would be willing to drop the kids off where he is living for the weekend. You may need to travel back from your sister's place, but you may need to bite the bullet this year.

I suppose I am selfishly wanting to see DAIB's bulling tactics defused. In the end, you will need to do what you need to do to get through the here and now.

Two words: cell phone

Exactly!
I don't think I would cut an out-of-town Thanksgiving at your sister's short, though. They can spend next Thanksgiving with him, give him time to get settled.

I think compromise will win you alot of favor with the courts.

But when you word the letter, address the fact that visitation is currently not happening due to his demands to pick the kids up when you are not at home and that he has twice now refused to meet you on saturday mornings at a central location. Make sure that's in there so that there is no question about where you stand and why.

Hey everybody.

My car died last night in a 60mph zone. It never ends, I feel. It had been heating up, but not overheating. The car has oil and water and anitifreeze.

It started knocking, and the ckeck engine light was blinking on and off very quickly. I made it to a place where I could pull over. There was steam coming fr the engine. The kdis were still at kalos.

I called her to let her know what happened, and she called the landlord, who owns a towing whatever, company, and his brother came out. Called AOM last night, and she called me back later last night.

ib harrassed me at work yesterday, but by way of my cellphone. Why is is again that I cant get the kids on friday, on and on and on. Dont answer, I know.

He left a message on the home phone last night that he would see the kdis this weekend and that he loved them, but that he was getting ready to work out. Just asked A where....it is a gym...

So he called back later and I was probably notably upset, and he asked the kids if they got the message, no they didn't. I just got in the door.

He told them he was going to meet me on Saturday morning. Talked to Lindsay for about 3 minutes, A for about 20 or more. A was getting agitated, I had told him he needs to eat, earlier in the call, and then I guess ib asked him what was the matter, and he told him nothing, I am just hungry, and a minute later he told him, well, mommy told me I needed to come on and eat dinner, and the call ended a few minutes later.

AOM called me this morning at 723.

Last night A was coughing on the phone. I have gotten him a nebulizer, Lord knows what happened with his when we moved but it is gone. ib asked him if he had gotten medical attn. he has no colored sputum, etc, just a bad cough, but I am having him use the neb 2x a day now, he was using his inhaler before, of cource OTC meds.

The guy who towed my car said it seemed as though maybe the heater hose busted or something, I dont know.

You guys say extra prayers for me today, please...
