The summer went really well, but why is biomom mad?

Ok - so we just ended our summer parenting time with the kids and it went really well. Last year the SD was difficult to deal with and was constantly talking about her mom and dad getting back together. This year she hardly talked to her mom and never even mentioned them getting back together. This did not sit well with her mother, at all. Last year we got a blast o gram from her saying that the kids didn't want to come back up, because they were really difficult last year and were constantly being disciplined. This year - she is mad at us becuase they did have a good time.

Does anyone else just hate the summer?

I know it sounds selfish, but I just hate the thought of having to give up the majority of my summer to babysit (because heaven forbid we actually call what we do "parenting" - for fear of riling up the X). Summer was a lot better this year than it has been, but it is still not something that I look forward to. It is not the stepkids fault and they aren't even bad kids, but I would at least like to have the choice to say that I would rather not give up my summer this year...Any thoughts on this?

What do you think...

Why do the "second wives" always take the brunt of the anger from the X? After all, most of us met our DH after they were divorced or separated and had no intention of going back to their X's. Is it just that the X thinks that the divorce is temporary and we are poaching on their territory? Do they really think that their psychotic behavior makes them seem appealing to any man? My DH wouldn't touch his X with a 10 foot pole...yet, I am the target of her anger, especially after extended parenting time with the children.

How many of you

believe that the hard earned money your DH pays to his X for child support is being used to actually support the child? His X has argued that she needs money for child care, but then find out she stopped using any during the school year late last year. Then her attorney says that she needs an incredible amount per week to pay for a High School kid in the summer - are you kidding. Why is that the X thinks that she is still entitled all of DHs money after the divorce...

Why is it

that my DH can't talk about any issues that deal with his EW for more than a minute. He seems to think that I am obsessed for even bringing something up. I don't think he understands how frustrating it is to be the SM and to have to deal with his past issues and the present ones, because the reality is that we have quite a few years left to deal with this. When a person is so opposite of you and lives to make your life a living torture (I am still not sure why we take the brunt of the hostility), it is hard to understand. Sometimes I just need to talk it out and he hates that.

Just wondered why anyone would ever give a key to their SK? They need to read up on Betty Broderick..that story is like Fatal Attraction to spouses who cheat. The bad part is that it really happened...

Does anyone else

Have an EW who is a hypochondriac and has recently scheduled my SS to have their tonsils removed becuase he snores? Who does this to a child? She also has my SD seeing a shrink and tells her that it is because she has anger issues. The shrink has no idea what she is talking about. How can a mother do this to a child?
