Let's Bring you up to Speed

Okay so the jest of it, I very much dislike my husband's ex wife. Really it has nothing to do with the fact that she is the ex, more to do with the kids and the stupid things she does. So I am starting a journal and letting you decide am I over reacting or is she seriously demented.

You be the judge and let me know your stories too.
The most recent horror story.... My stepchild who is 10 years old is a little overweight, and has a low self esteem becuase of it, but I have to say the sweetest child I have ever met. Just wants to have everyone happy. So my husband and I and even the doctor try to tell her that we need to work on helping him loose this weight, what does she do, tell him we all think he is fat. Hello, then she feeds him the following on any given day,
Breakfast: A tray of cinnamon rolls (that's right 4-8 of them)
Lunch: School food (can't really help that)
Snack: A Bag of Doritos's (large bag) and either 2-4 Pepsi's or the new Vault drink.
Dinner: Who knows she has never been a cooker, but a McD's 1 value meal and then and extra cheeseburger and small fries.

And it is a wonder that he is a little overweight, and I mean by like 50lbs.

So my whole thing with her is that why is it that the courts find that it is in the best intersest of the child to always be placed with the mother. I am a mother I know that for the most part if you mess with a mothers child you will "have hell to pay" but with her she could give a crap.

I believe being a stepmom is just a title for me (2nd wife). There is nothing else to it, can't discipline stepchild, can't sign up child for classes, can't talk to child if something is wrong cause he ends up telling his biomom and make me look like the bad guy. That's how I truly feel, it's just a label on me and nothing else. I stopped trying a long time ago.

Unfortunately we are stuck with the exwife and all her issues. I don't think anyone particularly cares for the other woman that was once in our love's lives. I try to avoid any contact whatsoever with the exwife and that way no one gets aggravated any more than they already are.
