Update - Bio-Daughters SM Wants To Be Friends

CrystalRE's picture

Ever since last weekend when my daughters SM said she wanted to be friends she has emailed me every day. Today she somehow found out that my dad is in the hospital and emailed me to see how he is doing. Yesterday she emailed me and brought up DH's ex (as if its any of her business). I think she's up to something...this is just all too weird!

More Head Lice Woes!

You guys might remember my headlice post from a couple of weeks ago. BM sent the kids to our house, they had headlice, she said she knew about it but didnt treat it. We treated it twice, just like the directions say. We are totally confident that they were gone when school let out.

BM Knocked Up AGAIN

I just found out this afternoon that BM is knocked up again. 30 years old and is going on her 5th child with 3 different men. That is IF I assume this child is by the same dad as her last one. That makes 7 children between her and her live in BF. Anyone else deal with such a mess of a woman???

Bio-Daughters Step Mom Wants To "Be Friends"---Feedback???

DH and I were at my bio-daughters softball game last night. As we were getting ready to leave her SM came up to me and asked if we could talk. I agreed and we went for a short walk. She told me that she thinks its best if we try to be friends so that we can share information about my daughter. The kicker is that she asked me not to tell my daughter that we are friends.

He Finally Called Back...He Did Call Her A Dumbass

So he finally called me back a minute ago. He admitted to calling her a dumbass in front of her friends. Of course he had all kinds of excuses as to why it was okay but in my mind its NEVER okay to talk to a child like that. I asked him how he would feel if I called his kids a dumbass and he didnt have a response. SHOCKER! Im so upset right now that I dont even want to see him tonight!

DH Called Bio-Daughter (14) A Dumbass To Her Face And In Front Of Her Friends (HELP)

My bio-daughter was at home alone with DH as she is out of school and he had the day off. Two of her friends came over to walk to the pool with her. They were standing in the living room while DH was at the computer when my daughter told her friends to go on and she would catch up. Her friends said they would wait for her and DH then turned to her friends and said, "Dont wait for her, Id leave her dumbass here."

Im at work when my daughter and her friends call to tell me this and Im so pissed that I want to tell DH to get out! Any advice before I blow up???

Facebook - Update

CrystalRE's picture

....I just wanted to thank everyone who has joined so far. We have 22 members in the first two days! Pretty exciting!... I am another one of those Facebook obsessed people! Always looking for support when it comes to step parenting, I decided to do a search on Facebook for groups. I found a lot of them titled, "I Hate My Step Mom" or "Step Parents Suck" but couldnt find one without any negativity that simply celebrated step parents and step families. Sooooooooo I decided to create one. If you search Support Step Parents its the only one of its kind.

Just Wondering

SD, 10 came home from BM's with another communicable disease. This time its headlice. We usually just take care of this stuff but Im getting fed up with her never taking responsibility for anything. Does any one know if we can make her pay for half of the treatment? Would it be considered a medical expense?

God Grant Me The Courage

...not to slap the living crap out of this woman!

My SD, 10 had a softball game last night. Dh coaches the team so my biodaughter, SD 6 and myself were sitting in the stands watching the game when BM comes walking up to us. She pulls her Blackberry out of her pocket and hands it to my SD 6 and says, "Now come sit with Mommy."

WTF?!?!?!? I dont know where we get our restraint sometimes but it was seriously all I could do to turn the other cheek!

Wanting To Get Back To A Healthy Place...Any Advice?

We have been dealing with a huge assortment of drama from BM for over 4 years now. All of this drama has caused a lot of turmoil in my home from problems with DH to problems with SK's and even problems with my biodaughter. We have finally gotten to a point where things are good between DH and I and have managed to keep my biodaughter fairly protected from the aftermath. One problem still remains...the step daughters 6 and 10.
