SS13's Behavior at Promotion
I was appalled at how this kid acted during his promotion and awards ceremony at school.

Lucky Me, no really, LUCKY ME!
Just got some great news from MIL last night when she stopped by. She asked what the plans are for all the kids this summer while I'm home on maternity leave. She was like, "you don't want to be dealing with all these kids when you're home this summer and once the baby comes, you really won't want SS13 in your hair - send him to me!"
I could have kissed her right then and there.

I Try Not to Be a Controlling BM, but exH insists
It's like he still needs me to wipe his butt or something.
Yesterday was so fun! First, I get a text from him asking what the plan was for the kids on Friday (since they don't have school). I respond with something along the lines of, "I assumed you had it covered since it's your day and you hadn't mentioned anything in advance. I'll be working from home if you need to drop them off if you don't have anything planned".
Slightly irritated, but apparently, he was able to make accomodations for most of the day.

Can I have Another Serving of More of the Same?
We're back to DH saying that I'm excluding poor SS13.

DH Has RO against BM - Should I try for one too after this incident
Last night we were in my brand new care (less than 6 months old) and we got a flat. first thing that went through my mind was BM, as she has put tacks under DH's tires several times so that he would get flats while driving, hence the RO he has against her.
BM had SS13 this weekend and it happened on our way home from the exchange. She had him jump out of the car as soon as she saw us rather than her usual 40 kisses and hugs she gives him.
I mentioned my theory to DH ,"maybe that's why she took off so quickly" thinking she didn't want a confrontation.
Why Does DH think We Must Cater to SS13? Mostly a Vent, but looking for input.
Two steps forward, two steps back.
I blogged last night about SS wanting to miss one of his weeks with his mother this weekend so he can attend a week of Day Camp. He is now 13 years old and this particular program only runs for one week during the summer and he is scheduled to be at BMs during this week. My three bios who are younger will be attending during a different two week period (the program runs in two week sessions for kids that are 7-12 and it runs twice).
Poor SS13 Just Found Out that the Week of his FAVORITE Day Camp, He'll be at BM's
And what does DH say to SS13 when he asks if he can skip a week with BM so he can attend day camp?
Why, DH says, "You'll have to ask your mom." Then he back peddles a little bit and says, "I don't know, that's probably cause problems, .... but go ahead and ask her and see what she says."
This is why the kid thinks he rules the world. This is his FIRST summer where he is spending time with BM on a two week on/off schedule. This will be the most consecutive time the boy has been in her care - ever. (NOt to mention I am counting the days till he starts this summer schedule).
Regrouping and Trying a New Approach
I've been so fed up with SS13 over the past few months and it's really just making my blood boil - which really does me no good.
I've tried stepping back, I've tried ignoring bad behaviors, I've let him know that I'm the boss - but still, not really happy with the outcome.
Since his blow up last weekend, and my exH's bringing some things to my attention regarding DD12's feelings towards him, I feel like I need to try something new.

Blog Hog: What's your take on this: ExH, Passive Agressive much?
As noted in my previous blog, I spent the last few hours at a parent orientation with my exH. For the record, exH and I get along very well. My DH works for him, we attended his wedding. We communicate frequently and work together on punishments/ expectations, etc. We were married for about 10 years and have 3 kids. We've been divorced since 2007.
I am 7 months pregnant. During the orientation, exH made two seperate remarks about the pregnancy.
Home from DD's Initial Counselling Orientation ... and it's always about SS
Sheesh! Can anything in my life NOT be about SS13?
My exH and I went to a parent orientation today for her to get some counselling and be evaluated for her ADD. After the initial parent meeting, we went off to meet their counselors.
