Today I take BD10 to the orthodontist, referred by our regular dentist. Regular dentist has already told me 2 yrs ago, BD10 will probably need braces. Ortho tells me BD needs braces. OK. I get home and call Biodad and give him the news. He gets mad and says that it's ridiculous and that I should wait til BD10 is about 13 or 14. He thinks I should get a 2nd opinion. He says he will not support my decision to put BD10 in braces. I tell him well regardless if you support it or not you are still responsible for 50% if I choose to put BD10 in braces. That pisses him off even more.

Took the 5 little darlings out for dinner and a movie tonight. Had a great time. Saw Spiderwick, it's pretty good by the way. But you know when you get kids in a comfortable setting, like riding in the car shotgun they say the darndest things. We were all talking on the way home and SS11 says, "My cousin and her friends do drugs." I was like WHAT!! He says "my cousin does drugs." Mind you cousin is about 11 or 12 too??? This cousin is on BM side of the family. Cousins dad is a known user, and so is SS11 BM. When I say drugs I mean pot and possibly others but weed for sure.

Things seem to be looking up compared to my last blog. But one question I have. DH works nights and is home during the day. BM waits til he goes to work to call him. I have told him this bothers me that she does this because she knows I'm not around and he answers her call during working hours. I limit the times I call him myself. I feel as though everything we have gone through the last month was a waste of time. Because he pacified me at the time I was angry about BM not taking kids on her time but both of them expecting me to.

HB is yet again allowing BM to dictate MY time. She is suppose to have skids over the holiday dec. 28-Jan. 1. Today she called and told him how the cow ate the cabbage and has scheduled her holiday time once again around her social life. I told DH I wanted her to take her kids on the ordered days so as I could do the things I wanted and needed to do without kids around.(relax for #1) Anyway, he naturally agreed to her proposed days and that has left me holding the bag. Because he works I stay with the kids. I am beside myself with anger. This has happened the last 3 years.
