After months of paperwork and jumping through one hoop after another I just got home from court and FI got full custody!!!! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted! I was surprised by how smoothly things went; FI's ex didn't show so the judge made his decision in less than 5 minutes! Now I can spend my day celebrating with a bottle of champagne while I do homework

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you and your FI and your DS!!

And just think, now when Bitchy Team Mom says anything, you can be all like, 'Bitch, please. I have this here piece of paper that says bio-mom doesn't get a say, so how 'bout you STFU?'

(I am still infuriated by my interaction with my DRE earlier, so I might be snarkier than usual).

Yay! Congrats. And WOW! His mom didn't even show up to the custody hearing? That's ridic. You are definitely a better mother than she ever was!

@HisGirlFriday13 I was so excited I totally forgot I can use this against the team mom if she says anything!

Congrats!!!!

Has the team mom finally accepted that you are the parent/ point of contact for DS?

I'm solidly in the area of 'who lit the fuse on YOUR tampon??' today I am so irate. 

So, yeah, I immediately thought, 'Take that, Bitchy Team Mom. IN YOUR FACE.'

(If it weren't 20 effing degrees outside, I would go for a walk at lunch to calm down).

I think she has, kind of. FI got a team email yesterday and I still wasn't on the distro list, but he didn't reply so she forwarded it to me this morning. Hopefully seeing that I replied almost instantly will clue her in on why it's important to send me shit.

Dying over here. I think I need to use that phrase in everyday life.

Anyway!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

@phira, I do use that phrase in everyday life. I will warn DH, 'I am in 'lit-fuse-on-tampon' territory right now, so I need some space.'

It's a fabulously useful phrase!
