Omigod, what planet does BM come from?!?!
Just got a call from SD14. She wasn't rude and she is calling us, so she must want something...
BM is letting her take a whole WEEK off school, can she come and stay with us?
Why?
Because SD is in a dance production and there are rehearsals every night after school for the week before the show. BM can't be bothered driving SD the 45 mins to and from rehearsals each night, so has told her she can have the week off school and stay at her grandparents house or our house which are both closer to the dance class.
I'm outraged. School is far more important than a dance class, and if BM can't be bothered doing the running around, she shouldn't let SD take the class!
What kind of signal is this giving to SD? Certainly not that school should be her priority. How responsible is that?
And DH? He's just happy that SD wants to come and stay with him and doesn't see the problem.
OMIGOD I wish I could bang their stupid, ignorant heads together!

I would say, "yes she can
I would say, "yes she can come and stay with us", I would also drive her to and from school everyday. If bm cant be bothered about her daughters education thats her problem. Education is the most important thing imo, so make her look bad and get your sd to school and dance class.

Karma - I have no words for this hun. It astonishes me what these BM's let their kids do. A whole week of school for a dance class? Nice parenting...

im pressing all 3 at once!
what a bunch of idiots. taking a week off from school is NOT acceptable, especially for THAT reason! and let DH drive her to and from school...his punishment for agreeing to such madness. if BM and SD really cared about SD spending time w y'all, why didnt they schedule something when school was out?

DH had better respect your caveat to agreeing to her stay: She goes to school. No excuses, no exceptions. Although, you don't mention how far it is from your house to her school; what sort of schedule rearranging would that entail for you guys?
I remain, the world's most evil stepmom; ask anyone.
Unbelievable! I don't post
Unbelievable! I don't post very often, but this one was just to outrageous to pass up! Why would any parent let their child miss so much school just for dance? Course, she'll still have to do school work. But, what it is teaching her? If she does end up having to go to school, I would let your dh drive her. Don't force anything here because you will only be accused of being evil. But, don't do the running back and forth either because it doesn't sound like you were asked your opinion about the situation or if you would mind doing the running?!
HA press 3.....
I like 3..... HAHAHA what is wrong with these bm's???/?
Our BM would
b/c popularity in extra curricular activities is FAR more important than academics (The Holy Gospel of BM chapter 7 verse 4, Queen of the Universe Translation)
that's funny crayon......
hahahaha
I'm chosing option 4....
OPTION 4 = ONLY SANE ONE IN THE BUNCH !! Dang, it's not like you don't have anything else to do, right. So, is your DH going to be the one doing all of this driving? If yes...ok If no, your schedule seems to be very busy and stressful already and why would you want to put this added stress on yourself? Geez Louise -
I'm sorry for you to even have to deal with such ignorance....

Thank you Disney for portraying a positive image on all stepmothers!!!!
Folks, we have a winner....
I told DH that that I was walking away from this one. His kid, his decision. But I also said that if she came to stay she was not to be left alone in the house, that he would have to take her to work. I said that I strongly disagreed with her having any time off school and that if anyone asked me I was going to be up front about how I felt. I told him to do what he thought best.
Whoa... see that?
Was it a bird? Was it a plane? Nope...that was a big old PIG FLYING past!
This is what happened next...(I sh*t you not)
DH got on the phone to BM and said he didn't think SD should have time off. BM said she agreed but just didn't know how to make it work. DH said well maybe we can sort something out between us (whoa communication rocks!). They figured out between them that she will take SD to school Mon morning, then he will pick up SD after school and take her to dancing. DH will drive her to and from school Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri morning (40mins each way) and then BM will pick her Friday pm and bring her up for the last dancing class.
I know, I know... it's verging on a miracle, but this folks is DH and BM communicating AND parenting on the same page at the same time!
Can I have a HALLELUJAH!?!
Do what you have to do as a parent.
My SS was the worst when it came to school. we are talking a straight F student. But I stayed on top of him even though his mom didnt give a rats behind and dad didnt always get in his butt. I always kept in close contact with the Teachers, counselors and made sure I was at every teacher/parent conference. Needless to say he really didn't care for me at all.( Wonder why?) anyways, he received a full paid athletic scholarship and just completed his first 12 college credits over the summer. Screw what the BM is talking about make her go to school!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
common sense prevails at last.
