I never thought the day would come, esp not so soon, but it is here, thank goodness and I am finally not the evil step mom in DH's eyes. He never called me evil, but has implied in the past that my feelings and intentions were less then pure :jawdrop:

BB and ss took off for their family vacation on the 4th. Dh tried to call BB to speak to ss before they went on vacation, since they will be gone for 2 weeks and we wont see ss (yay) for 4 weeks. Dh called about 10 times, even left messages to call back , for the 2 days before they left. finally , the day they got to their vacation destination, BB answers the phone. DH asks to talk to SS, and Dh sais that ss can be heard in the background, " NO! I DON"T WANT TO TALK TO DADDY!" in the most snotty voice ever . OF course, BB didn't make SS talk to Dh, because as we are learning, BB is getting the hang of spoiling SS and really lets him have and do whatever he wants, apparently. I felt so bad for Dh, as he does try hard to keep in touch with ss when we don't have him. I could tell it broke his heart and could see that I was right after all and (in his words) Ss was being a "little Sh**)! Dh was hurt, and then furious. "How dare he! he's so spoiled, your right!" ahhhh its good to be right. Of course I wish SS was not spoiled, but it is what it is, and I called it after I first met SS. Since we have been married, I have taken over the finances, even though Dh makes the dough, but because he cant handle money, and I have been the big evil smom not letting DH buy ss toys every time we have him, only on birthdays and certain holidays. before me, Dh would take DH to the store every single weekend he had ss and buy buy buy. I could never believe it. I am a product of a broken home, and got swaped back and fourth every other weekend, and my father never exhibited that behavior with us. We always got anything we needed, but never spoiled us with endless toys. Ss on the other hand is taken to the store for toys by Grandma, , other grandma, mommy, mommys boyfriend, and used to be daddy. The child literally has more toys then he would ever be able to play with.. and hes not even 5!If it were up to BM he prolly wouldnt be potty trained by now either. We had to do it when we had him on our weekends. Anyways, DH proclaimed that there would definitely not be anymore toys, and what not for a while and this is why he stopped buying them for him in the first place! I'll let him think its his idea, I don't mind. I thought it was too good to be true that we get a few weeks interrupted, but now it's ever better because Dh will not be feeling so guilty and sad at not having ss for the next few weeks, esp since ss doesnt miss him and only wanted toys from him. In the last few months he has been getting nasty with DH because he wouldnt take ss to the stor for toys. DH tried to ignore it.

I'm happy to say that we went out to our fav restaurant and had a great 4th in the city. Dh throughly enjoyed the rest of the long weekend we had together, and really seemed a bit relieved to be able to have a guiltfree time without ss, and should be , since ss is well taken care of and not at all living in depravity.
