he’s got it under control.
I took A to the old house to drop him off. We talked about him coming to my house every day after school to wait for dad to pick him up, rather than having to ride the bus all the way out to the old house, then walking the mile up the private road. He thought that was a good idea.
A said that dad’s plan is to live in the old house until he can get it fixed up enough to be able to rent it. A didn’t know what that meant or how long that may take. I am wondering how on earth he’s going to pay for all these repairs and fixing stuff up…
I saw this ad on craigslist this morning with the old house’s address listed:
3 bdrm / 2 bath 1000 – negotiable
“Cape style home situated on 2 1/2 acres in Eddington, Maine. Home has full basement with washer / dryer and a chest style freezer. About 1500 square feet not including basement. Pets are determined on a case by case basis and will require a deposit. Utilities not included – heat and electricity. First, last and security. Rent is negotiable and I will work with the right people to find something that works for both of us.”
So. He’s not really worried about it getting fixed up I guess? The best I can gather, the master plan is to get some schmuck to pay him first, last, and security – totaling $3000.00. And with that money, he and my son will then move OUT of that house and into a DIFFERENT place all together? I guess whoever said that kids need stability was just full of shit.
Plus, in speaking with REAL landlords, like the people I rent from, it’s pretty impossible to find renters who have that kind of money to be able to part with at once. Most places we looked at wanted first and security…because they wanted people to actually rent the place. But, I’m sure Asshat knows just what he’s doing.
In court my lawyer asked him about buying clothes for D rather than expecting D to bring clothes from my house. Asshat’s response was “That’s what I learned from the For Kid’s Sake program, (the mandated parenting class we both had to take) that clothes are a big issue for a lot of parents.”
That is what he learned from a 4 hour parenting class about how to parent your children when you are divorced. I’m sure he’s got everything under control.
Looking Forward
