is it appropriate for BM to get FSM something for Mother's day? When BM dropped off the boys yesterday she left a framed picture. I found it and asked BF what it was, of course he didn't know. It said happy mother's day. BF txt'ed BM and asked who it was for and she said 'me' duh! BF was like well I am not getting BM's man anything for father's day. I told him that he shouldn't and I didn't think that it was appropriate for BM to get me something for mother's day.

BF took FSS3 to the store to get his glasses adjusted. When they came home FSS3 was crying and took off running for his room (which he does when he is mad, he pouts for while and then comes back). BF looked unhappy and started in with why FSS3 was upset. When they got done at the glasses place in the store FSS3 wanted a toy or something - he always thinks he needs something because BM always gets him something. Well FSS3 threw a fit in the store. BF went on and on about how BM always buys him stuff and it's a waste of money.

Neglect or just annoying?

I have been thinking about this for some time. It popped in my head again today after getting into it with BF about what was important to him. He hates some of the things that BM does with their kids but doesn't do anything about it but complain. I know that he doesn't have the money for a lawyer to take her to to court and get custody changed. But still ....

My BF will have been divorced 2 years next month (BM divorced him) but she continued to control his life up until I showed up (about a year ago). I have been working with him on tell her 'NO' and calling her out when she lies to him. He also no longer needs to her help him with the kids on his weeks because he has me to do it and I complain a lot less about it. I know I am an evil person, right? So needless to say she doesn't like me and tries to get rid of me on a regular basis (it never works but it's still annoying). You know that saying...
