smooth sailing

This week with BM has been incredibly smooth. BF and I joked about calling the police to file a missing person report because she is being so accommodating and nice. Haha Wink

She hasn't tried to pick a fight when things don't go her way. Has been very nice in all talks about christmas. She has been a little "over flirty" with bf ("we should get together and catch up" "sometimes seeing you makes me miss you hahaha") but that's easy to handle.

Calling CPS on BM

Anon2009's picture

Have you ever called CPS on BM, and what were the results?

DH and I have called CPS on BM because she had the kids living in squalor and was letting them get molested. She was letting registered sex offenders live at her house. CPS gave the kids to us, and we were awarded temporary custody of them until our custody battle was over. We won full custody of them. Those calls to CPS were very helpful, because the judge got to see their reports and the pictures they took of BM's house and learn about how skids were abused.

BM's drama never cease to amaze me!

[My apologies for this very long post] SS11 bday was Nov 26th. DH sent a gift card by ToysRus (so ss11 can purchase his desired video game). Gift card purchased at ToysRus to ensure BM does not us the funds for herself. At any rate, as of Dec 17th (yesterday) DH's numerous voice messages left for his son had gone unanswered. As a result, he called BM to see what's going on. BM is such a conniving liar & she's always trying to create a wedge btwn me (the wife) & my DH . . .

FH can pay CS but isn't even respected enough to be listed as skids' dad.

I went to skids’ school for their Christmas parties yesterday afternoon. I introduced myself to both of their teachers and nothing was said about FH and I never showing up, etc. like I was worried. SS5 was very happy that I was there and introduced me to everyone.  SD8 was happy too, but she’s a “big girl” and didn’t need anyone at her party. LOL

Disney BM But I am Thankful I Understand Why She Does It - THANKS ST!

We are taking our first vacation away with the kids for Christmas. It is DH's year and I am about to deploy so we saved up and are all flying to the east coast. We are all totally excited.

So we let the kids open the presents from BM and her weirdo family this morning. There is no way we could pack all that into our bags and bring it with us.
The cost of these presents besides shipping must have come out to about $600!!! Nuts.
BUT, DH remarked "Wow. Guess she has to make up for her neglect somehow."

Kinda O/T Need some honest feedback from you all...especially Rags

Last night BF snuggled up to me and we talked about overspending on Christmas which we are both guilty of so it was definately not an argument but just a talk. We talked about how we needed to start saving our money better and he said especially if we want to get married...he then told me that he and his brother had had an argument about getting married...his brother said that he was never getting married...it was only a piece of paper. BF told him that women want the ultimate commitment of marriage though.

Princess 18 got home from college for Christmas break on Monday. Yea! She's home for a whole month! I have mixed feelings about this. I love my SD with all my heart, but she's been using it as a trampoline for a almost 2 years now. I've adjusted to not having her around, and things have been so much better without her energy in the house. But if she will let me, I look forward to hearing all about school, and the boys she likes now that Stepping Stone (her old boyfriend) is out of the picture.

Grrrrrr!!!!

My kids, SD13, BS7, and BS2, receive quite a bit of cash from my DH's family. Every holiday they get $5-$10. And I mean every holiday. Halloween, thanksgiving, 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day, etc. I make the kids put it in the bank in their savings accounts for college. We pay for anything they need or do, and they get allowance for spending. Anyway, I was going to the bank, planning on depositing money, and asked SD for hers. She said she's just been leaving the money on the counter (very cluttered).
