Give an Inch, Take a Mile (AKA No Good Deed Goes Unpunished)

Looking back over my blogs today, I see a lot of instances where DH and I attempted to be nice or easy-going or generous with BM and skids...and were immediately expected to do more. We'll get two tires for SS. Oh...what about 3 tires and an oil change? We'll pick up a haircut for YSD. Oh...does that come with color? We're taking kids for vacation. Will you be getting them clothes for the trip, too?   

Wondering if this is common with BMs? What about with your DH or SO? 

YSD Got Tattoo and Nose Ring. Looking Grosser Every Time I See Her.

Haven't been on in a while...super busy at work and trying to help launch DH's business.

DH and I going on vacation next week. Hopefully I can actually relax and de-stress. 

Good news = We just sent the very last ever CS payment. WOOT! Next month...my money will finally belong to me, again (and, yes...unfortunately I do mean MY money...)

YSD is 18 Tomorrow!!!

Hey everyone - 

Haven't been on here recently. Have had tons of travel and feel incredibly behind at work all the time. Trying not to be too stressed...but helping DH with his business (which we've put SO much money into, recently...really hoping it pays off) while also having a nearly full-time job is starting to take its toll, I think. 

Grieving - Might be too much to handle

I've had a really rough couple of weeks lately. I try to maintain an upbeat attitude...but I think it's starting to hit me that DH is going to be incredibly over-active in his kids' lives, offering to do and pay for stuff...for quite a while after they've launched. OSD is now 21, SS just turned 20, and YSD will be 18 this month...

OT - I Despise American Airlines

So...totally OT but I've just had the worst day. 

I never fly American, but were one of the only airlines that had a flight to my destination today. 

So, I had a 5:45 am flight and I got to the airport at 4:00 am...flying out of a small regional airport with two terminals. First thing when I get there...no curbside check-in for American, no kiosks to get my boarding pass...no way that I could figure out to check-in online. The American check-in line is out the door at 4:00 am. United and Delta each had about 5-10 people in line and kept it moving.

lol. 

So...file this under 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished' 

 

DH told me yesterday that he offered to get YSD a haircut this week for prom...around a $40 expense. BM sent him a text yesterday saying 'Thank You' and asked if that 'included color.' DH said 'No, but you can get her color refreshed if you want.'

About an hour later BM sends another text. She has changed the appointment to be for cut and color. Total is now around $140...they can split it. She tells DH he can pay for the cut and color over the phone and just 'write her CS check for $70 less.'
