Perhaps I need to become friends with the women on this site who claim to have disengaged and seriously barter for lessons.
SS11 came home yesterday (longest 20 hours in a car of my LIFE. NEVER AGAIN) from Louisiana after spending a little over a week with his BM. Back in KS, one week before school and she pumped his head with all kinds of shit about being back on his ADHD meds because they make him calmer and he won't succeed in school without them. (Funny, he got one B on his final report card, the rest A's after being taken off the meds...)
So now we get to hear about this and have all kinds of excuses about how his behavior is bc we don't have him on meds. SMH.
He comes home in clothes that she said were for school - Two trashbags, mind you - And from what I'm seeing, they're hand-me-downs from his stepbrother down there who is two sizes bigger than him. The jeans will not stay up without him walking with his hands in his pockets and holding them around his waist. (Thanks so much BM - Where's all the jeans I bought and sent down with him from the Children's Place?!?!)
I'm feeling very confused right now. His constant lying and new attitude that he brought home is very much more annoying to me than before he left. I've worked to get him registered in this school and enrolled by myself my FDH has admittedly been working a lot of overtime to work on the ~8k that we still owe in debt from getting custody earlier this year. But when he has BM on speakerphone, discussing starting school he takes all the credit for getting everything taken care of here... Yet it's been me.
I really don't have anything to say to BM - She can burn in hell. But I'd like for her to know at the least that I have been taking care of her child and have everything sorted out.
Also, I don't know how to deal with this lying. Just about an hour ago I came home from a friend's house while FDH said he had SS in bed at 9:30 to get him prepared for school that's starting next week. I asked him where SS's touchpad was, knowing that he will pretend he's in bed but sneak lights in to read or the touchpad to play with. FDH didn't know and went looking for it, went to his son's doorway and asked where it was. SS said he had put it on the charger in the living room. FDH searched, could not find it, went back and asked again and.. WHat do you know... SS was LAYING ON IT IN BED.
Real smooth, huh?
Sigh.
I enjoyed this past week and a half of him being with his mother WAY too much and have no desire to be around him at all. But per this new custody order and our financial situation, it looks like I'll be a nanny until the next school holiday break.
Fuck. Me.
