Bms money tree went bare so she ditched her kids

crackergirl's picture

I haven't been around for a while because things have been crazy at home. We had the step kids week on and off then every other weekend then week on week off for the last year or so depending on what bms schedule and how much of a hassle they were. Dh would get tired of them and switch back to every other weekend. Bm would get tired of them and switch back to every othet week. These kids are so rotten and spoiled no one wants them. No one.

Bm trying to get inheritance money

crackergirl's picture

When dh's dad died he left a majority of his money to his kids except for dh. Dh's inheritance went to his kids since dh is remarried and I am assuming my fil didn't want me to touch it. Fine. Whatever. Now bm is trying to get her hands on some of the money. She wants to put the kids in an ultra expensive private school and take up expensive hobbies with their money. They came over last night talking about taking flying lessons. Can she get her hands on the money since it's for the kids?

Spoiled, ungrateful fleabag stepkids

I pretty much hate my stepkids now. They behaved like a$$holes at dh's dads funeral and they made it known to everyone how upset they were and that my son was not. My son barely knew the man and he acted like I raised him to, with class. No he didn't blubber around like they did saying it isn't fair and he was to young. The man was 79 years old and had cancer. We knew this was coming. Sigh, whatever. The worst part is Fil left his fortune to my stepkids and his other children. My stepkids will be rich. Not richy rich rich but if they are smart they wouldn't have to work.

Tomorrow morning ds and I take our trip! We were supposed to do 2 days at universal and then 3 days at disney on property with the meal plan but dh surprised me with $1000 for our trip so we are going to do 2 days at Universal and 5 days at disney on property. We are so excited. Everything is packed we just have to wait till go time!!

Christmas was a bust

Dh got his kids all kinds of expensive gifts and my son only had a few presents. Ds said he was fine with it but I could tell it bugged him. Since Christmas my son has been quiet and withdrawn from everyone and his grades are dropping. He won't tell me what's going on with him. I think he feels that the stepkids are loved more than him even though we discussed why he would be getting less. Dh tried to spoil me with gifts at Christmas but I refused to open them after a few since ds didn't have any more and we went into the kitchen and him and I made breakfast and it was awkward as heck.

What a blessing!!!

I can't believe I posted about this yesterday and then the second adjustor calls last night. He said it was water damaged and they are totalling my car!!! I have the extra insurance through the dealership to cover the differance on what I owe and what the insurance will pay. They are also covering what I paid to have it towed and my rental car insurance which has been a huge drain on my finances!! I am back baby!! I learned my lesson on expensive cars. My coworker and I have been looking all morning and i found a used one with a great price.

Therapist always says dh is right

I am so frustrated and annoyed right now! Dh and I had our marriage therapy last night and once again, I am in the wrong. I want Christmas presents to be even in price. Here is the real issue, I am broke and dh is not. Due to car issues I am broke. I spent about $75 in presents for bs this year. He knows and understands that I am struggling. He is ok with Christmas being small. Dh is not getting it. He is spending money left, right and sideways for his kids. I don't want it rubbed in bs face that his step siblings are getting a ton of presents and he isn't.

Everyone is back from vacation

Dh took his kids to Disney/Universal and "surprise" spent most of the money in our savings account. Yep. He said since it was him who put the money in, he could spend it how he wished. Fine.That money was supposed to be for a family vacation. I guess bs and I aren't family. I told dh I wanted to separate finances and he said okay. We sat down and divided the bills. Don't worry I am only paying mine and bs fair share. Of coarse dh still has a boatload of money and I will have next to nothing but I am paying our way and that is what counts.

I need to explain

I didn't post a full update yesterday because it would have been long. I talked to dh and we went over what happened. He didn't tell bs that we were all going. He told him that him and his kids were going and I wouldn't go without him and asked him if he wanted to go and make it a family trip. He gave him the choice of which vacation to take. Bs got mad, frustrated and angry. When I came in he just exploded. Last night when we talked bs did admit to shoulder checking me and instantly regretting it. Dh was right about that.
