[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 558773, member: 2196"] Well, Mattsmom, it's funny that you should mention the whole custody battle thing. He just brought it up again to the kids his last weekend visit with them. He told difficult child 1 that he is looking to buy a new house, and when he moves that her and her brother will be living with him. difficult child 1 spoke up and said she doesn't want to live with him. She told him she doesn't want to leave her school or her friends. He told her that she can always make new friends. She then asked him what he had against me that he can use against me in court to win custody. He told her that he will use the fact that her hygiene is poor and that she doesn't take enough showers against me. difficult child told me that she thought her dad was stupid for thinking a judge would take away the kids from their mother all because of oily hair. I agree with her. I know that no judge will take them away for that reason, BUT he can always use difficult child 1 skipping school against me and he could win based on that. That is what I'm really afraid of. Once again difficult child refused to get up for school this morning. She fell asleep at 10:30 last night so she got eight hours of rest. There was no reason for her to be extra tired this morning. Now she's just making up excuses not to go. I argued and battled with her this morning until I absolutely had to leave for work or I was going to be late. I don't want her dad finding out, but my mom has threatened to go above my head and tell him all about her missing so much school. I begged her not to tell him, but she said she cares about the welfare of my kids more than she cares about his reaction to it all. I don't know what else to do with difficult child. I borrowed a SARB letter from my work and typed in difficult child's school district instead of mine. I put her name on it and I am going to bring it home and tell difficult child that I got it in the mail. I don't like lying to her but I don't know what else to do. In the letter is clearly states that the said child is truant and the parent can be found liable and incarcerated for up to a year if the attendance doesn't change.
