Kicked in the teeth by ss again...so angry
when oh when will I learn? SS came home from school and informed us that he needs to take a food for a school project to school on Monday. How nice, he's had this project (which he has been working w/BM on) for over a month, and now tells us that we have to bake 48 scones (to represent Scotland)for Monday. I ask him if he needs someone (me) to bring them to school, or if parents are invited. He says no, that he'll take them with him to school on Mon. I don't even bother to ask why he couldn't have done this w/BM, since I'm well aware that the only baked goods she can cook involve a drive thru. Ok, so in the kitchen we go, I bust my tail and kick out the scones.
So SS is on the phone to his mom and SD is reading a book in the same room, when I hear SS say "So mom, you need to be at school Monday at 10am so you can help with the food display."
WHAT>>>???? :O
After SS hangs up w/BM, I ask him if his mom is going to school w/him on Monday for this project.
After a few minutes of dodging SS admits that BM will be coming to school as a parent helper for this project. I asked him why he lied to me about whether parents are coming to this. His response is that he forgot. So later on in his backpack, I find the sign up sheet that was being returned to school for this project along with the food. You guessed it. Written in big letters are "SS project, Scones from Scotland, made by SS and BM (names)" Must be nice to take credit for someone else's work.
OMG I am soooooo mad. I confronted him again with this sheet. Again, he looks at me like I've grown a second head. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said, "mom didn't have time to make them, and I figured that you would"
DH found out about all this when he got home and lit into SS pretty good....but I am so very tired of this. Going forward, I'll be damned if he ever gets my help w/these type of projects again. I was half tempted to hide those scones and tell him to let BM bail him out.....but of course.... I am a better person than that. (Sometimes it sucks to be a good person)

Screw that!! I would be a
Screw that!! I would be a brat and use salt instead of sugar!! Why should she get credit when she cant bake for shit!! I apologize for my language but this pissed me off!!!! This whole thing is just effed up he lied to you twice and then you have to help him? You are far better than I. I would grab his ear and give him hell! BM is a waste she should have asked you for help and the whole she didnt have time bit I love that I am sure she couldn't get off her fat arse to help but she can sure take credit!You deserve to be treated better than this and although DH scolded the boy He should have called BM and told her that making these are her problem.BM shouldnt have dropped this on you last minuet and then get all the credit for your hard work....Arrrgggghhh

I would have
eaten the scones myself...
Or "accidentally" dropped them in the trash can.
Reminds me
of an EOW moment. Man/child had to study for a final. He expected me to tutor him (because it was a subject I teach). His biomom was in Vegas. My dh said (without me uttering a sound) that they (ss & biomom) were trying to use me. I smiled and left for the day. I wasn't going to fall into that one---it has been a long time since I sucked my thumb.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I would . .
Show up at that school and stand beside him and let the WORLD know that YOU were the one that helped him with his project. Then, NEVER, NEVER help him again.
I would show up for the event
and just stand there and watch him sweat. Or take the sign-up sheet, cross BM's name off and put your name instead. Or eat one in front of him then trash the rest.
What he did was the ultimate in sneaky and he deserves consequences for his actions.
How mean.
And there's BM, teaching her son it's okay to use people. It's easy to see what's wrong with the world, they really should make everyone take a test to become a parent.

Bm would not be taking my food to school and taking credit for it. In fact neither one of them would take anything that belong to me. I would find a way to make all of it disappear. Its time for little Bucky to learn a lesson about using people.
Destroy the scones
Let BM do it if she is the one who is invited! No way should he be allowed to use you this way!!!

I would pretend to get rid
I would pretend to get rid of them with the discussion of consequences for using you and being dishonest. Then at five minutes to ten turn up at the school and act like the best step mom in world. I didn't want you to look bad because BM hadn't made the effort to make scones ( covered in jam and cream )for you. And look the best you can possibly be......
I would be flippin livid.
I would be flippin livid. it would be the LAST thing I ever did for that kid. I would also call up the bm and say.. I looked up how much it would have cost you to go out and buy that many scones for the project. You and ss owe me $xyz for the scones, and an extra $xyz for being lied to and USED!!!
That pisses me off! I would be tempted to throw them out.. I know I would.. Let him know their are consequences for his actions.
What did your dh think should happen??
I would be pissed too
but I would have carried the scones to the car for my SS and accidentally tripped over something and drop them on them ground!
