Well, I decided to go with Dh and ss to the orthodontist appointment. We got there about 15 min. early and had a few papers to sign. Ss and another boy got called back at the same time. The other mother got up to go back too and the ortho. assistant told that mother that they just wanted the kids. Bm was late so she didn't see ss before he went back.

and didn't tell Dh. Dh has custody of ss. I've posted here before that ss has a cast on his arm. He was supposed to get it off last week but the medical person he's been seeing was off that week. So this week ss is at Bm's for her vacation and Dh said that Bm could just take him to get his cast removed.

So I had ss yesterday on Bm's day. I was supposed to pick him up this morning at 9am for Dh's day. Ha!!

I get two min. away from Bm's house and my cell phone rings. It's Dh. He told me that Bm just called him and said that ss isn't ready and won't be for awhile. Bm waited until 8:55am to call and tell Dh that ss had diarrhea when he woke up this morning. Um, ok, then why didn't she call right then?!

I knew how this was going to play out but I didn't get asked my opinion before the plan was made. Why doesn't that surprise me.

First example of stupidity: Mon. night Bm calls here late and wants to know if her live-in ex can drop ss off at 8am Fri. morning. She has a dr. appointment and live-in ex has to drop off his 4 yr old at the babysitter and get to work, supposedly it would be too early to drop ss off at either the bus stop or school. Second exapmle of stupidity: Dh agrees. No questions asked. I will give Dh credit for saying that he would go into work late to take ss to school but I said no.

Yesterday ss got his yearbook at school. Ss of course was one of the only kids if not the only one that had to get two yearbooks because Bm had to have one too. I feel bad for ss always having to be different from all of the other kids. I know that there are a lot of kids who come from divorced homes but no one else had two yearbooks.

Bm will just keep using us if I can't get Dh to put a stop to it. If she can't handle ss or figure out what to do with him on her time, that's her problem.

Bm called last night and asked Dh if ss could be dropped off here Fri. morning at 8am. She has a dr. appt. and her live-in ex has to be at work early and has to leave at 8am and will only have time to drop off HIS child at the babysitter and make it to work on time. Ok. How is that our problem? Of course Dh said fine. I said that it's stupid! I usually leave here by 8:10am to take ss to school. Bm only lives 3 min. form us. So I don't understand why they can't figure something out without us.

I was so fed up with ss having to keep Bm's secrets from her live-in ex that I sent a message to her ex telling him that Bm was planning on moving out of their living situation without telling him.(which she was) Can you believe it! I told Bm's ex that I was concerned with ss having to keep these adult secrets. Of course I cleared it all with Dh before I contacted Bm's ex.

Ss says that his mom hates me because she doesn't like my parenting style!! Isn't that the funniest thing you've ever heard?! This coming from a person who doesn't parent her child and usually has to be told to when she does!

It's our 7th wedding anniversary today and ss is making is unpleasant. It started on Fri. and has continued on into today! Of course ss was at Bm's this weekend so that made it even worse because we had to go through Bm to solve the problem.

I've written before that Thur. night is usually the one week night that ss goes to his mom's. Well, he wasn't getting his homework done at her house. She said she couldn't help him with any of the algebra and her environment made it hard for him to concentrate.
