Inbred sent the kids this weekend with a specific message. After DH picked them up I was greeted at the door with
"Can we change our budget for this week?"
Well hello to you to DH, my day was good thanks for asking. And no we can't.
Oh here comes the pouting from dPPP.
Me-What??
DH- Inbred told them we would buy their halloween costumes this weekend.
Me- Why would she do that? Did you tell her you would buy them?
DH - No, I guess she figured I would.
Inbred has a bad tendency of figuring we'll fork over money for whatever she wants us too. Now, we have bought their costumes before, but that was when they were us for halloween. DH got the fun of helping them get dressed, taking the pictures, taking them door to door. One thing DH and I do that Inbred doesn't is check the candy for punctures or rips but that's besides the point.
Inbred gets weekly CS and she gets A LOT!! Why is DH expected to pay for costumes that he'll never see them in? The first year we were together and he purchased costumes for them(three days before halloween because that was the amount of heads up she gave him) she had the nerve to call him and berate him for not getting exactly what they wanted. Well gee Inbred lets think about this for a moment, if I had time to actually take them and let them pick what they wanted out they would have had a bigger selection to choose from, but you're welcome none the less.
This happens a lot. Not just halloween. Once Christmas she asked DH if he had gotten their gifts yet and then asked him when he will be giving her half of them to give to the kids at her house.
Seriously?
Every year she asks him to buy their shoes for school. Last year he finally said no because the last three years before that she would return the name brand shoes, get them thrift store shoes and use the rest of the money on herself.
I really wish the courts would do something about BM's who think that since they popped some kids out that means they never have to work. When will BM's like this realize that CS is not a paycheck but supposed to go with the paycheck you're earning.
I really feel like grabbing Inbred by the shoulders and shaking her really hard. Maybe if her brain got knocked around a little bit it would start working better.

I think you should try it, couldn't hurt.

I've seen it work with electronics and mechanical things, if you hit it a few times it starts working...
I think it might be worth a shot...lol

Please tell me he didn't take them out to buy their costumes...

This used to drive me nuts with DH as well. (Mine are older now - different problems. *lol*) BM would send the kids over asking him to buy this or that for them (costumes, shoes, coats, whatever) and he would do it because "if I don't do it they won't have it!" Grrrrr.... Stop enabling her and she'll get off her ass and actually buy those things!

My DD lives with her BF and she was telling me same thing happened. The kids were all excited about being certain things for Haloween. then they came over and said they had to be a football player, and something else. Their dad asked what happened to your original plan. Well Mom said she can't afford to buy us costumes. So my DD and bio dad bought them the costumes they wanted. But again, they do not get to see the kids on Halloween, because Mom wants them that night, even though it is Dad's regular night.

^^^I AGREE!!

When I first got with DH she gave me a warning that her wants and needs will always come before mine because she is the mother of his children...lol ok Inbred, how is that working out for you??

Evil stepmonster's picture

No, she told me that. I would never come before her because I did not give him a child. Well, things sure haven't turned out the way she thought.

My kids have done that many times too. Most times they look better than the store bought costumes and are sure more sturdier.

We never have that problem here. lol infact every summer I say to DH how I would really like to move up north one day and have all four seasons instead of blistering summer, warm fall, yay it's 78 degree winter and way to damn hot spring. But after last years winter...I may have changed my mind.

WTF...REALLY's picture

This is not BM's fault. Its DH's fault. He is the one teaching her that she can take advantage of him. He is the one with the issue here.

He should really get a back bone and stop the enabling.

I don't understand these BM's who don't work and expect everything to be handed to them either. My husband once made a comment to GBM about how BM expects him to pay for everything, and she said "Well that's just how it works." The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
