SS13, "I have LOTS of Things to look forward to at BM's"... which must, of course, be why you don't seem to want to go anymore

SS13 tells us that BM is getting him a PS4 for christmas for her house. You may recall that he has been insisting on setting up the xbox in his room with online access and we haven't allowed it. You may also remember that he has requested a new piece of electronics every week since starting school.

I simply responded, "that's great! Now you'll have two special things at her house that you don't have at our house, so you'll always have something to look forward to when you go over to visit her." (meaning his xbox, hooked up to the internet in her bedroom and now a new PS4 that he can also hook up in her bedroom to play online games with his friends - because we were not going to be providing that for him at our home where he spends 80% of his time).

He didn't actually get my point (that we weren't going to be letting him play those games at our house in his room) and responded, "I have lots of things to look forward to. sometimes we go walking at XYZ park and sometimes she takes me to a movie."

Me: oh, that's nice. Did you go walking during (the 5 days you were with her for) Thanksgiving?
SS: We went for a little while once
Me: Oh, so did you get to see some of the new movies that came out this weekend? I know you were talking about a few you wanted to see.
SS: Well, were were going to go see Thor but we didn't
Me: Did you see something else?
SS: no
DH: Did you spend a lot of time playing video games online with your friends?
SS: Yes, but my friends were busy for most of the weekend so I mostly played alone

:? :jawdrop: :?

Oh the joys that this woman bestows upon her child. And he still seems to think he's having a great time "spending time" with his mother.

What's with these "women"?

BM also promised SS during Halloween that she was going to take him to the Fright Fest Event at the theme park near her home. I got to hear about it for about a month.

But she never took him to that either.

This is the same woman that pays no child support because "times are hard", will tell her son she can't get him for a visit because she "has no gas money" and told SS that DH shouldn't be having children if he can't afford them.

Oh yes, same woman that is driving a new car as well.

"Oh, so did you get to see some of the new movies that came out this weekend?"

I honestly don't understand why would you even ask this in that way.

lies and broken promises - exactly.

I try to be nice about it as we are discussing the weekend, etc on the ride home and I try to make conversation based on things he told me prior to his visit. He tells me they're supposed to go to see one of the movies that are coming out on the big weekend, so I ask him if he got to see one.

He tells me his mom is going to take him to the snow, I ask him if he ended up going to the snow.

He tells me his mom is going to take him to XYZ special thing, I ask him if ...

you get the picture.

Because on Mon - Wed last week we (me, SS, my three bios and DH) had discussed going to the movies several times... but SS kept telling us that he was going to go with BM so he wasn't sure what we should see.

yes. i can relate!

Our BM will tell SS that she doesn't have a job so she can't afford things for him, but then will turn around and tell him that she can't see him because she has to work.

Everything out of her mouth is basically a lie.

When they were going through their divorce and DH was requesting a RO against her, she filed tons and tons of statements/ declarations and half of them contradicted the other half. It was pretty funny, really.
