ExH / BD makes me nuts
I was going to post a blog last night about how exH forgets the kids' schedules and the hinges he asks me to do to help him. I decided against it and thought its no biggie. Get over it. This is how it is.
This morning, he drops off the kids and I remind him "just want to make sure you rember thi is our vacation week". He looks at me confused/ embarrassed and ask a few questions.
I teasingly say, "I'm sure it's on your calendar" since we've finalized this back in the beginning of June. . .

Garage Sale just shows how SS/ DH think
We finally had a garage sale after moving into this house together last summer.
When I garage sale I go through my garage, closet, kitchen and jids' rooms to thin out the stuff. DH and Ss13 each have lots of stuff (that never gets used). I've been prepping DH to get rid of the stuff. He said he'd have to "ask SS" since some of the stuff was his.
I told him, "oh hell no. You don't "ask" your son what we are keeping/ selling. You tell him"

BM Told SS that she Regrets Divorcing DH - DUH!
We were at a family party yesterday (without SS13 since he was at BM's for visitation) and Step-FIL was chatting us up. SS13 will often stay the night at MIL and SFIL's house and will confide in them.
SFIL starts out by saying that SS seems to be enjoying the time he spends at his mom's (as prior to last summer, she was basically absent for 7 years). DH chimes in that it's nice to see her taking some responsibility for her child and its nice for SS to get to know his mom.

BM Finally Goer her Gangrene Claws into SS about our New Baby
Friday night SS13 went for the last of his 3 two week visits to see BM. During his last visit, he chose not to mention the birth of his new sister as he knew she would only have bad things to say. He adores the baby and thinks she is the cutest thing ever and really likes being more connected to our big blended family. (I have DD12, DS10 and DS9 and now DH and I have our first baby together - SS13's first sibling).
The "Step" Message in the Smurf movie... I'm serious
I just took my kids and two family friends to see the Smurf movie. I wish SS13 was there to see it with us, but I think he may have already seen it with BM.
The movie has a message in it about step parents that is rather positive - how they sacrifice for you, choose to take care of you, even though they don't have to, etc.
They also have another interesting spin that all of us Stalkers can relate to - the original parent being an evil person (an evil wizard in the movie, but evil, none the less).
Anyone see it and have any thoughts?

A List of Things That Currently Bug Me
- When DH tells SS13 he can watch TV and/or sleep in the very small Living Room / TV area outside of our bedroom. The kids have the entire second floor complete with cable tv in the upstairs living room, video game systems and SS13 has a flat screen in his room connected to his Xbox. We have a small portion of the house and I don't like kids hanging out in it - especially at night. I want to be able to walk to the bathroom or get up with the baby without having to worry about covering up my bits.

Well, DH was right
And I don't say tht often 
When we decided to have a baby together, he was insistent that the baby would bring everyone together and that Ss13 would love having a half-sibling.

DH: am I really that bad of a parent?
DH had a friend in from out of town. This is an old high school friend and we are in our forties so this is a long time friend of DH's that I am quite fond of. We often talk about his kids and the ex who live out of state and we also talk about ss13 and his poor behavior and his crazy BM.
The friend told me that during his last visit DH asked him after we had spent a considerable amount of time discussing ss13's unacceptable behavior, "am I really that bad of a father?"

Ok one more for the night: poor baby ss13 is scared so he's sleeping on the couch
Question of the day: why is ss13 such a baby? Answer: because his parents like it that way!
DH and I went to go see The Conjuring at 11 am this morning. Even though SS is a fraidy cat, DH asked him to come alon and he willingly came even though he knew it was a very scary movie. Well guess who is too afraid to sleep in his bed tonight. All alone upstairs?
How many times do I need to ask DH to speak w ss13 about barging into our room?
No really. Because there must be some magical number that I'm not aware of.
As if it wasn't annoying enough already to have a 13 year old boy walk into my room whenever he feels it necessary but now that baby has arrived and us staying in the bedroom with me and DH, SS thinks he can walk into the room when we aren't even in there so he can look at the baby.
