Let the social experiment begin!

Today is the first weekend that SS4 is here since the move. We only moved last Saturday, so nothing out of the norm there. But now, we have GM83 here too. I don't know what to think yet. SS4 can be pretty independent sometimes. GM83, is well, 83 and feels the need to take care of everyone around her, except me it seems. She didn't come out of her bedroom when I got home. She waited until DH got home with SS.

OT- Advice needed for dealing with older family members

In one of my last blogs, I posted that DH and I were getting ready to move his GM83 in with us. We moved on Saturday to a larger apartment that would accomadate all of us, including SS4 when we have him EOWE. So it has been 4 days today, and I am already depressed. GM is driving DH absolutly crazy. They are arguing constantly which I can't handle.

Insurance Question

I am up way earlier than normal for a Sunday. DH and I weren't even suppose to get SS4 until today at noon, but BM hit up DH in a text and said we could have him all weekend, because she didn't have anything planned for easter anyway.

BM is an idiot!

So, DH and I go and pick up SS4 this morning. When BM arrives (late) to the drop off site, I notice she has a puppy in her car with the kids.

On more than 1 occasion, I have found fleas crawling on SS. And the idiot goes and gets another dog! WTF? You can't take proper care of the two kids you have or the other animals that have to be in that house, and you go and get another! Grr... well, the next time I see fleas, I will be calling CPS yet again. And, I will now be calling animal control as well. If the fleas are so bad they are on SS, the poor dog will be miserable.

This will be a long weekend

We pick up SS4 today. He was asleep in the car at 6:00pm. Just ridiculous! Serously, no one on BM's side is smart enough to put any child down for a nap. It must be too inconvenient for them to allow the child to sleep. And I blame BM's family because BM's Aunt dropped SS off to us, BM claims she had to work. Anyway, since he had to be woken up, he was pissed. He started crying for mommy and mommys sister. We tell him you are going to come with us this weekend, like you do EOW.

OT/ but need some advice

I posted last week that my DH and I are moving. When we move, we are moving his grandmother in with us. We are finally moving to a place that allows pets, no weight restriction. This is awesome to me because I desperatly want a dog! A big dog! My DH would like to have one too. Here is the part where I need advice. Grandma says NO! We have to take her opinion into consideration, as she is paying her share of the rent. That being said, the only reason she says no is because she thinks a dog will cost too much money.

Bruises

I have an almost 5 year old SS. He is a wonderful kid, full of love and energy. My question is, how many bruises are too many? I know that all kids get bruises. I don't think I have ever gotten one by being pushed. His BM is a pathological liar, and is teaching him to lie. In January, I called CPS because of the bruise on his arm. It was a perfect "grab" mark. Finger print sized bruises on his right forearm. In my book, it doesn't matter how badly the child is acting up, there is NO REASON AT ALL to grab a child that hard.
