DH's dad is here with us this weekend and has informed DH that BM is going broke and is about to lose her house.
Reality = if she were going broke, and she's not, it would be her own fault for incurring 10,000 dollars worth of lawyer fees dragging DH into court for increased child support (she makes more money than he does and we have 50/50; it is NOT going to happen).
Ok I posted that my ds had an accident as a result he didn't want to drive the car he had, understandably. so he saved up some money and traded his car in. He got a 95 mustang his choice. I did not buy it he did. Of course it is in my name but he paid for it.
So DH and I are sitting here, killing time before he has to go to work. BM calls and because she's changed her number so many times, we didn't recognize it.
Yesterday one of my coworkers was talking to me about her garden (we both garden), and she said, "Oh your string beans should be about ready, you can pick them tonight!" I told her that I was going to hold off until the weekend because we have the kids and they like to pick things from the garden for dinner.
Then she said, "You're such a good stepmom." I was a little flabbergasted. No one has ever called me that directly I guess, and it caught me off guard. Furthermore, she said it so POSITIVELY. Holy moly. It wasn't at all sarcastic in tone; she was dead serious.
My fiances & his ex wife have 3 children. The kids are not properly taken care of and even my 6 yr old daughter has asked them why they smell, don't brush their hair, wear dirty clothes, etc. Well BM is off to her BF house every weekend leaving the kids with who over else is home to watch them (She has multiple family members living there). She is now prego with twins! :jawdrop: Now she is already bitching she cant do stuff and when my fiance is on the phone she feels the need to give him an update on the babys stauts! Just disgusted!
BM wants to only play by the rules when it benefits her. She is working to become a lawyer and she can't even read her own court order. Phone calls are between 5 and 530 mon wed fri and sat. She thinks because she works past 530 that she can just call whenever. Why have a time if you can call whenever?
Last night BF and I were at the table eating dinner and I totally called it that SS4 wouldn't eat. Because it was a real home cooked meal and not from a box. I can't remember what we were even talking about, it was something about the kids, but BF stated "I think that you are a better parent than me", instead of my usually 'I am not a parent at all', I just said with out hesitation "I know that I am."
I could give examples, but I won't 
I have a feeling this will be an ongoing saga in our life...it already has been for the last year.
In 2010, both skids were in gymnastics classes. They loved it. Then summer rolled around and the schedule changes to 2 times a week rather than once, so BM said she didn't want to do that, that it was too much obligation for the kids (we all know this was really just too much obligation for BM. The skids would love to go 2x's a week!).
There's not a single person here that wants THEIR children to ever be treated by possible future SKIDS the same way THEY are treated by their current SKIDS...I know NONE of us even want that for other women who are not even related to us...much less our kids.
