Not being “the BM”

MissK03's picture

Another quick rant. It does get really tiring to get looked at as 2nd when it comes to skids. 

SD had homecoming tonight and we went to a newer group of friends house that she has been hanging out with for pics. There were 4 girls including SD and the girls house...

Now one of the girls moms goes...in annoying already knowing the answer voice... "so who's mom are you?!" I just said SDs stepmom... which I actually cringe when I say that considering SO and I are not married. ..SO was there too.

Another MOTY excuse.

Well.. SD has confirmation Sunday. BM will not be attending because.....

She thinks the city it is in is "gross" and she doesn't want to sit there alone. **Poooooor BM** Apparently her husband has something to do and can't go with her... 

I call BS. She has something to do. She is though taking SD Saturday to go "shopping". No idea where but this is the first time she has taking her shopping in literally at least 5/6years. 

BM moving update.

Well.. SD brought up how BM was complaining that she get a French tip on her nails and it costs more.. the only thing she does with SD once a month..which is on and off.. 

SD then said how they DID buy a house up north...about 4 hours away.. SS18 brought up it has 4 acres and they said 1-2 years they will be moving.. I think it will be sooner..

SS18 just went out with her for his birthday for dinner.. the only thing he does with her for the year and he goes it's not terrible but then she starts the guilt the tripping....

***BREAKING NEWS***

SSstb18 told SO then the 3 of us talked about the recent developments!! 

BM and her husband moving states away (average 8 hour drive) 

NOW! We always thought they would move north 3-5 hour drive (she brought this up to skids years ago) but not south.

We only have a few details so here they are:

•BM has only told SS19. She told him NOT to tell SD15 or SSstb18 but he did. **shoulder shrugs**

Wedding Gifts… when do parents stop paying?

MissK03's picture

This is a piggy back off of AGs post about flights... when do parents stop paying for adult kids wedding gifts.

Next year we have two weddings in SOs family. One of his nephews in august then a month later another.

We were talking about how that's going to be an expensive time with us vacationing, weddings extra...

For the 5 of us it's 2k for wedding gifts we need. A lot right? SS19 works full time.. makes $22 an hour.. only pays $180 a month on bills... I suggested he pay for himself.. he will be 20 and clearly can afford it.. SO shot it down... 

Step life from all angles.

I am no stranger to step life prior to SO. My parents divorced when I was 8 so I was exposed. To different types of situations growing up.

My step mother passed away Tuesday.. years of drug abuse and poor health finally took its toll. She has been fairly sick for quite some time now.. My father and her had been together for 21 years but I never had to live with them.  My father and her both struggled for years with substance abuse issues etc etc. My step sister, step brother and my youngest brother had to deal with more then myself and my middle brother.

Driveway chronicles.

It doesn't happen often and even when I'm not home it annoys me. 

BM took SD to get her nails done today for school starting. We are up to 6 hours for the year she's spent with BM! Nails and home ..per her norm. Didn't ask to get her anything for school! Yahoo!! Haha.

Anways....

Naive comments.

This is just a general thing because living in suburban America my skids are definitely "sheltered." This statement from SS17 isn't maybe a sheltered thing or maybe something BM said to them when she got married... not sure.

Anyways..

OT invitations.

Even when you've been in the family longer are you still 2nd?? Just got an invitation to SOs nephews engagement party and it was address to... SOs first and last name & family.

Ive clearly been with SO longer then his nephew and fiancé (both 25) have been together and it just feels like they couldn't make the effort to put both of our names... or because we aren't married my name isn't important.. I don't know.. might just being sensitive. Stuff like this annoys me though. It feels almost 2nd
