A Rant: Brief History of BM's Idiocy.

DTK's picture

Okay, I feel like venting some more about BM and the situation with SS9. I don't expect anyone to actually read all of this, but if you like stories full of stupid drama, maybe it'll be entertaining. lol. I just feel like getting it all out there, history and all. Believe this or not, this is only part of the things she's done since DH and I have been together.

BM talks the talk in court, but doesn't walk the walk

BM is given 5 hours visitation at the sheriff's office one weekend day a week. This weekend she told my SS to tell us that "[her first name] said she will call you about making it 3 hours". BM called my husband and told him that SS gets bored. The have tons of board games, movies, toys, outdoor b-ball court, plus she brought him his b-day presents from her that day(His b-day was August 11) and can bring in whatever she wants. She also cancelled the weekend before last, because she had "a job interview". What job interviews on a Sunday? What job interview can you not reschedule?

calm

I just thought I'd post how much more relaxed I am now that I dont talk to BM. Who wouldve guessed something so simple is so stress relieving.

I get a little worked up when H and her talk because every time my husband sends her a text about SS, she calls him back. But instead of getting super hyper about everything, I say 'aww that sucks for you babe'

So much easier now that I've stepped back and let him deal with her!

This has been an on going span of meetings. Not one time did gf express any concern or request to be included. My vent is about the way she did it!

Would YOU be with a BF or BM who walked away from their kids because they didn't want to pay CS?

i'm curious - would you stay with a person who decided to stop seeing their children because they didn't watn to pay child support?

What kind of reasons would you take to be valid for NOT seeing their kids for 6 mos or more?

Udate to the "Monthly Dinner Together as a Family" Suggestion by BM

Sooo, I told DH that I won't do such a thing. He said he figured as much. He doesn't really care to do it either but the reasoning of "for the kids" whispers naggingly at him.

Anyway, he told BM on the phone that "these things take years" and she had the phone on speaker-phone and SS broke into tears. He's the one who wants this gathering, it seems.

Have you ever come to a realization that just hits you like a train? That was me today. I am so not having a good week so far and I look like a train wreck. I fell down some icey steps and got all banged up and then this AM got the bright idea to give my cat a bath (i do about once a year). And of course we have the sKids this week.

We have been married for over 8 years and we have been to their house at least 10 or more times. They live 8 hours away. They have NEVER been to our house ever! Well dh got a call from his dad asking if step MIL an borrow a travel bird cage (we have 2 big birds and he knows we have one). The reason is b/c step mil needs one to help her brother move as he a a big bird.

My SD23 has been given a deadline of November 1st to move out. Her dad finally talked to her about the chaos in the home since she's lived with us and told her it has to end. I am not sure I can survive another MONTH!!
Instead of trying to live in "peace and harmony" for the next few weeks- the tension and stress seems to be just as bad if not worse than before. My BF is already aware that I have looked at houses and I have the ability to move out if that is going to save my sanity. But He has begged me to stay- says he just needs to help her find a place in the next few weeks.
