You'd be so proud... not! The weirdness continues after our v-day 'gifts' from the sKids. After digging deeper into the mystery as to why BM would send the skids over to our house with v-day balloons for us, we are left with more questions than answers.

In my last post I told you guys that I txt'ed BM and told her that it was inappropriate to send DH 'romantic' gifts. The response I got from BM was some long explanation about how SKids had used their allowance to buy us the balloons and they had wanted to do it. She didn't think it would be an issue. She likes to 'make' them spend money on other people. I told her to take me and DH off that lest we don't need anything but they time.

Well yesterday I asked SS7 about it to get his take on the situation. He told me that his grandma (BM'S mom) bought the balloons for him and SS5. And it was his choice to give them to DH and I. After clarifying it with him because it was no where near what BM had told me. I carefully explained to SS7 that you don't do that. When some one buys you a gift you don't give it to someone else, your supposed to keep it and be thankful. And I added that DH and I don't need that kind of stuff. We don't need him to buy us things to prove that he loves us, i told him to just spend some time with us instead. He started to cry up and I told him that he wasn't in trouble, we just don't do that any more.

The issues is BM re-gifts, i know because I used to get all the junk she didn't want before I told her not to get me anything. DH said when they were married she had a drawer full of the stuff people had given her that she didn't want and when she needed a gift for someone she would look through it.

Also yesterday SS7 asked why he had not been to see Therapist in awhile. We told him that he was supposed to go 2 weeks ago but BM canceled it because she said they were going to a wedding, but SS7 sad that BM and Chubby went without them, they stayed the night at Grandma's. And then he was supposed to go this past Friday but BM canceled it because they were supposed to be going on a trip out of state but they didn't. SS7 said they were at Grandma's house on Friday and stayed the night there. DH then told him that we made a new appointment on OUR week so that he could be sure to make it. SS7 then started to explain why BM had said they were going to be gone but DH stopped him. He didn't need to make excuses for his mother.

Then the day before DH was trying to get SS7 to ride in the sled that he built to go behind the snowmobile. SS7 launched into his long story about how it smells like smoke from the snowmobile. I paused him and told him to stop lying. He has never been in the sled when it was behind the snowmobile so how in the heck would he know that it smells? When I called him on it he just stuttered. He also lies to get out of trouble.

So apparently BM thinks it's okay to lie, re-gift and make excuses, which is rubbing off on SKids.
