Not the Evil Stepmom's picture

I love Christmas break! SS11 is staying with his mom until Wednesday evening and then going back to her house on Friday and staying with her until January 5th. Yeah for me! Things have been great! My mom kept my kids Saturday night and Sunday night. Sunday we just sat around and watched the whole first season of Dexter. It was awesome! No arguing. No getting stared at by skid. Getting to do whatever I wanted without second guessing myself. I forgot how nice it was.

Who else did great at christmas

I got from dh - 2 bras and a nightie from VS, My nail done, an opal necklace and earrings, a snuggie, the ROC set that I wanted, and 2 pairs of boots!!!

My dd and ds - body spray of P.S. I love you (bath and body works)

My parents - a bottle of purfume P.S I love and the lotion.

I LOVE all my gifts. It was awesome. Anyone else got things they wanted too.

Oh silly BM

When BM sent SS to live with us, she agreed to send back the money that was garnished from DH’s check for CS. And to include her own CS on top of that. All fine and good right? Well it is like pulling freaking teeth to get it from her in a timely manner. There is always some reason it is not here when it is supposed to be, or why it is short bla,bla,bla.

BM>>>>>Check the damn mail box.....

Rant:
Dear BM.....
When it comes to the CS payment, you're there, when you are looking for your half of the therapy check, you're there. So why is it that when we want to send something to our darling SD13, to arrive prior to Xmas, (and see that it has been confirmed as delivered to your address on Dec 24, (5 days ago)) as of this morning YOU still claim to have not received it.....

Thanks yous from skids.

I noticed that neither of my skids said thank you to anyone. So I reminded them to say thank you and that was the right thing to do when someone gives you a gift. They all looked at me and a light bulb went over their heads and they say oh yeah thank you. LOL So I then reminded them they need to say thank you to their dad too. So off they went and told him thank you.

Let it go... it's Christmas

Steamed's picture

And that was my theme for christmas...., just let it go, not worth getting into it with SS22 and ruining my Christmas.....

for example:

- no recognition, "thank you" or even eye contact from SS22 after or during him opening his gifts.

- Nothing from SS22 for me or his BM (my DW), and of course nothing for his sister (My SD21) or my BS12.

in serious revenge mode-just venting, thanks for reading if you did!

ok, so as much as i try and try and try I'M EXPLODING EHRE and the pot just keeps boiling so i'm exploding on here. the first thing skids said was that it's dad's fault the divorce happened uh, TWO names are on that marriage license, and MOM cheated on dad in their own home! THEN bm told them since i'm such a good mom they can come live with us-please do, then SHE can pay cs instead of him-they made a "smom is doing this for ssister, and she's younger than us" comment!

Of course BM is going to the same NHL game we're going to...GRRRRRRR!

I bought DF tickets to an NHL game (he's never been to one but is a huge fan). I picked a weekend we DON'T have the skids...makes sense, right? We will travel 4 hours for a long weekend, stay at DF's brother's for 2 nights and have one night in a hotel. It will be our "last hurrah" before the baby comes in February. Of course we were excited, right?

Dysfunctional Family Christmas part deux

Wishes's picture

What did S.O. get for Christmas from SD you ask?
Answer: nada jack diddly squat (literally) Keep in mind I said not one thing to him other than "So what did you get"? (Fully expecting it would at least be some little thing or a card from the g-kids. They live out of state and he went up to see them Christmas day).
S.O.'s defensive mode went up: "Nothing....I told them not to get me anything".

Then there were more lies and excuses and blah, blah, blah. :sick:
