[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 394144, member: 1991"] I'd have put stepGFG in the car and dropped her off with her parents. Where she belongs. They can sort out which one takes her on. You deserve to know your routine and not have surprises, especially when it's stuff he knew. He also has to follow through on ALL his responsibilities. If he says he will buy lunch, he has to ensure they get fed. If lines are too long, he has to make other arrangements. Next time he drops something like this that is not acceptable, make him solve the problem himself, even if it means he has to keep stepGFG glued to his side. You cannot babysit the girl, it's not fair on her and it's not fair on you. He has her for this time to spend time with her; not to dump her somewhere. As for him texting his ex, that is not the problem. It is his failure to communicate at least as well, if not better, with you that is the problem. Maybe you should ask him to either ensure he either sends copies of tests to you, or sends you a similarly informative text. Your aim is not to spy on his communications, but merely to be kept informed of the demands on his time and energies, so you won't ask him to do anything that he can't fit in. He can choose, but he has to keep you informed. And make it clear - you WILL take stepGFG to him and dump her on him, next time he is left with you and he is not around. And do it. Marg [/QUOTE]
