Hubby called ex back to let her know that she can pick
SD up on the 1st instead of her flying back on the 2nd. She originally agreed that we could make up with 3 extra days this summer. She is going to renege on that. Definately.
She yelled and yelled she wanted SD on the 31st. She wants to drive back to her parents house and spend the night there. Hubby kept calmly telling her its the 1st at 1pm or she needed to be at the TX airport on the 2nd. She then wanted to do pickup on the 2nd at 10am, that way she can blame my husband when she tells the courts that she wasn't able to drive to her parents house, spend the night there and take 2 days to drive home. It was his fault you know. We even printed mapquest out for her. If she left on the 1st to go straight to TX it only added maybe an hour and a half, but that was just too much for her, she says she can't do it. She can do 15 hours up, but not 16.5. Not much difference. If she left on the 1st from IL, she could definately make it to Austin by 3 pm with time left over.
We stayed very calm, very nice and gave her a couple options, but it was all about "her" not SD, no concern about her at all, it was all about what ex wanted. I think we got most on tape, but hubby is a walker when he talks and I had to drap him back to the tape player a couple times. We will let the attorneys secretary transcribe the tapes.
Nothing we could have done would have made her happy. Ex just wants to have an excuse to stay at her parents house until the weekend and now she has it. We get no extra time with SD and even lose a day. We are thinking though that if she comes up on the 1st and says she has not intention to head to TX then we should finish up our time with SD, we would but the stress of those extra hours would be too much. Hopefully the judge allows the tapes in and he can hear that she agreed to make up the extra time.
Thanks
