Just found out SS14 will be getting zero's for those missing assignments. He missed the cut off date to turn them in for credit.

I suggested SS14 do them anyway, to follow through and finish the task, DH agreed. DH is also going to e-mail SS14's teacher to get her side of what happened.

This weekend is off to a bad start.

Caught SS in a lie

The boys were with us last night. DH and I were questioning SS14 as to the status of his missing math assignments. I caught him in a lie.

He had told DH and BM that he turned in all his missing assignments from when he went on a school field trip with his spanish class. DH had looked at SS14's grades online and SS14 is missing math assignments from the dates he was in the field trip.

BM makes fools of us

BM professes to co-parent with DH but when it comes down to it she just wants everything her way. She wastes DH’s time asking for his input on issues that have come up with the boys.

She and DH recently decided the following:

SS14 and SS9 would not play M rated video games. SS14 has been aggressive and violent in the past and DH and BM (we thought) felt that these types of games fed into those behaviors.

Tired of Secrets

BM likes secrets. Her secrets are her form of control.

The only problem is that to keep a secret one usually has to lie.

BM has secrets with SS9 that SS13 doesn’t know about; so SS9 is lying to his brother to keep his secrets with BM.

BM has secrets with SS13 that SS9 doesn’t know about; so SS13 is lying to his brother to keep his secrets with BM.

Both SS9 and SS13 tell us the secrets they have with BM but then ask DH and me not to tell the other brother.

BM trying to be a hero

Yet again BM called on our weekend with the boys to yell at SS13. She called DH’s mobile, asked to talk to SS13 (who was in the shower). DH has SS13 return BM’s call.

SS13 starts whispering into the phone; DH can tell BM is yelling at SS13 about something. DH pipes in “What did you do now? Let me talk to your mother.”

DH put my feelings first – long

SS9 has a smart-mouth. It’s not so much what he says but how he says it. His target is usually me but DH also gets it too. We’ve been on him for months trying to correct the behavior, but SS9 hasn’t gotten the point. Last night was no exception.

DH, SS9, and I were having a nice dinner. (SS13 had a school activity that DH had to pick him up from later in the evening.) During the meal I noticed SS9 playing with his food and not using his silverware properly. I let it go, till the nearly the end of the meal. By this time DH had corrected him a couple of times.

DH and I got into it last night over procurement of xyz gift for BM.

He brought it up and I painted him the following picture...

As in - your current wife has spent the last couple of weeks:
1. Trying to track down xyz gift with you;
2. Locating said gift on the internet, only to have you nix ording because of timing with regards to shipping;
3. Listening to you plan how you are going to go out of your way on a business trip to procure said gift FOR YOUR EX-WIFE.
4. I don't want to talk about this anymore, I'm done with it.

Let me start by saying the DH and I have been together a total of 6 years and this is the first Christmas DH has been like this.

This year DH is obsessed with BM’s Christmas gift and it’s driving me nuts.

SS13 mentioned that he thought he and SS9 should get BM xyz gift for Christmas.

Well DH has been on a mission to procure this item ever since.

Electronic Calendar Saga

I haven’t posted in the longest time. Things have been crazy busy. This issue has been going on for what seems like forever. Has anyone else experienced this?

BM set up an e-calendar about 4 years ago when she changed jobs. The purpose of the calendar was so that DH would know when we have SSons and what activities they have going on. As the PP is based on BM’s work schedule and BM’s work schedule changes every 6-weeks. The e-calendar sends DH and BM an e-mail at the beginning of every week with a link to that week’s schedule.
