BM is a weirdo

Jcksjj's picture

So this is going to be a hard to explain in writing but...BM insisted out of nowhere that SD needs to be in gymnastics and that she would even come pick her up once a week from our house to get her. This is way out of character for BM, normally she is trying to do as little as possible. So I knew something was up and suspected that she wanted to look good to her BF and that her BFs kid was also going. 

So it turns out that not only was a right that yes BFs kid was going, but her BFs BM (so the other kids mom) is actually the one bringing her and BM isn't even going with to watch. What makes it even weirder is that it's one of only 2 days a week that the other kid is at BMs house. So they are actually pawning both kids off her BFs ex on one of only 4 days a month that kid is supposed to be at their house. 

Just to clarify I could care less about the situation, I just find it beyond weird and completely unsurprising that once again BM doesnt want to put any extra effort in.

This woman is willing to play taxi like this?  Why?  And does anyone in your home even know her?  That sounds really odd to me.

I have no clue why. And no none of us have met her. BM has a knack for getting people to do stuff for her though. Somehow she got her boss (small business house cleaning) to pay her extra when she needs to pay for drop in daycare for SD. I mean who has even heard of that ever being an option? She played the poor single mom card with that when she only has her half the time and pays for nothing. She actually has tried to get me watch SD when she worked a couple times but I said no.

Yes, I would agree she wants to put her best foot forward with New BF. It might be fun for sd too.

I remember going to gymnastics when I was maybe in 4th grade. We never took is seriously at all ...just a bunch of little girls just laughing and clowning around.

I agree, but trust me she absolutely did not have SD in mind. Past behavior clearly and repetitively shows with zero exceptions that she does things for herself period. So we were kind of confused as to why she was all of a sudden putting in a little extra effort...turns out shes actually not. I mean she got in a day long fight with DH about having to spend an extra $5 a month in gas picking her up during the summer. We ended up paying her the $5 because how stupid to fight over something that small. She actually used Google maps to find out the exact mileage and what it would cost her extra a month to pick her up 2 times extra.

$5, wow. Sorry you have that to deal with - ug.

Yep. Anything that even appears like she might be responsible for the tiniest bit over exactly 50% and she loses it. In reality shes not even doing her half since GBM pays for everything  and  she pawns her off on others as much as possible. And she actually wanted to give up full custody to DH when I first met him and was planning on moving away but DH made the mistake of telling GBM he would file for child support after she moved so she freaked out and has insisted on exactly 50/50 since then. People always give her the benefit of the doubt because shes the mom though and assume there are no deadbeat moms and they all truly love their kids underneath.
