My dad's drama

Lady.Tremaine's picture

Not on topic for me but definitely a topic for here

My father keeps calling my mother. Constantly. 

He is remarried. She is not but she is quite frankly happy right now

She is very uncomfortable when he calls. I told her to explain there is no reason for him to call her.

I have told my father to be better to my step mother particularly after pulling this s--t for a few months. And to stop. Calling  . My mother

 

A year in review / my love letter to steptalk

Lady.Tremaine's picture

I went through all my old posts tonight. In a way that's the best way to understand the right and wrongs of life. I cringe at my mistakes ( the baptism ) I glow in the change ( basically anything regarding SD7)

I'm still so unsure where my life is going. DH and I have an open discussion about having a child.if we are financially stable. I'm still not sure about a kid.. I mean I could go for a cat or dog instead but part of me is beginning to think we could have that grandkid my family wants . If it's a girl I honestly worry how SD7 would react.

OT-ish Dear Zachary

When DH went to bed I went on a movie binge last night

I'm not sure why I watched Dear Zachary again. Watched it before I was a step mom a few years back. Watching it as a step mom I basically rage cried throughout the entire thing.

If you've never watched it there's a very pointed argument of how much the legal system favors moms even when they are absolutely bat sh--

 

Happy Dadmas? No? Ok..

Well Dadmas ( our weekend prior to the holiday) started off... Great.

SD4 has a bad cough. So we definitely wanted her Friday night regardless (SD7 will get a cold soon as they are always together) plus this is our only time to give them their gifts.

Both of the kids were happy and grateful for the gifts . SD4 asked to go home at 10. Fine used to it. Could go on a rant on how it's BM and Dh's fault 

So we have a great morning with SD7. SD4 is to be dropped off at 1 to go to Grandpa's with us.

Baptism update

So better and / or worse than expected

We get there and we had thought this was like the whole Pre-K class ( sd4 goes to Pre-K at this church)

Nope! It's a sermon. Only SD4 is getting the baptism. Just the Saturday congregation. And BM is wearing a pink mini angora sweater dress with no bra ! Stay classy.

We come in and there's maybe 25 people and BM has us FRONT and center. Yikes. There goes the escape plan.

BM to DH " so will you be up with SDs and I for the words ?"

DH: ugh what's normal ?

BM: both of us should go up

DH: ok

Urgent : Presbyterian advice needed

My husband and I are both non religious. We were raised different religions ( national Catholic and Jewish) but we both just believe in doing the right thing - god involved or not

 

Well today is SD4s baptism which BM sprung on us this week. We are both a little annoyed that she's pushing religion on but whatever. Anyways we are BOTH invited to go but

1. Is DH expected to participate ? I know for babies there's the whole promise thing but I don't know the rules for toddlers

I survived the dreaded family mix party

SD 6 is now SD7 as of today.

Her mum had a 15 or so kid party and invited us, my sil ,fil and sister's husband.

Of course it was our weekend  and she literally plans everything without asking but whatever.

We have SD7 open her gifts from us and his family at home. Had to rush things because BM had a need by time she randomly established at drop off. 

Why have a coparent when you can have a babysitter?

I'm going to preface this so I don't like some form of selfish hill troll

BM has issues with actually parenting with my SO. She will switch schedules and tell the kids first. She has admitted she "doesn't need " us or DHs family and that the girls already have an amazing support system. She has offered to sign away the rights to both girls when DH and her broke up.  She moved 1000 miles away with little warning and broke up 3 families because she needed a lifestyle change. That last one just bit her in the ass. Hard

Have you told Mom yet ? My giggle for the week

Lady.Tremaine's picture

To start off ST my week has been awful.

I have tense chest pain , lack of taste and random numbness. We bit the bullet Wednesday and went to urgent Care. I thought they'd maybe do some questions etc but nope straight to an EKG . Came out ok but my blood pressure is apparently through the roof

While the doctor advised going to the ER we went against it. It's probably random stress and I'd frankly rather die than go to the ER without insurance
