INCONSIDERATE BM'S!!!

mommommom's picture

From reading posts on here I see that alot of BM's are the same. I understand that some BM's feel that they are ENTITLED to whatever they can get, but good grief why try and break the bank so you can one day get NOTHING!!! It really doesn't make sense to me. If DH is paying support ON TIME EVERY SINGLE MONTH plus covers insurance, why ask for more? If Skids are loved in both homes by both SETS of parents then why in the world would you continue to try and throw a wrench into the situation?????? I am a BM and a SM and just don't get it.

Halloween with US this year!

When DH went to pick up Ched on Friday he told BM that he would be picking up Ched on Halloween day at 3pm and returning him at 9pm. She said, "Oh, well, I wanted to take him trick-or-treating this year."

He said, "It is MY year and *I* am going to take him."

Later he asked Ched if he wanted to go TorT with him or w/ BM. He said, "With BM." DH asked Ched why. He said, "Coz you don't LIKE going trick-or-treating."

Am I totally wrong if I don't want FH to come home tonight?

I seriously don't want FH to come home tonight just so I tell HIS kids that he went out with his buddies today and got screwed up and didn't come home. I will say that I was out with him earlier in the day but I had my lil bro and his girlfriend babysitting for HIS kids but I made sure I was home in time to tuck HIS kids in bed AND make their lunches. I'm REALLY irritated right now cuz he was supposed to be home right after me but now it's 4 hours later and he still isn't home...

Went to church today

So, I woke up this morning and went to church, I spent the day with my sister and then came home. Church made me feel hopeful and confident again. I felt that I had lost it for good. When I came home, my FH tried talking to me about it but I asked that we didn't. I have an interview and a lot of school work to complete and I didn't want to be upset and not be able to function like I have been the last month. We didn't talk much today, although there is an awkwardness between us.

BM asking for money again!

So apparently BM called last Tuesday asking if we could help pay the medical bills for SS12 for breaking his fingers...and DH didn't tell me she called. I saw it on the phone bill. It was only a 2 min convo so I asked why she called and why he didn't tell me. He says cause I'll just get mad. Moron. He told her no he couldn't help and if she didn't like the bills she should have kept Tricare prime (no copays or out of pocket costs) and driven to the right doctor instead of switching to tricare standard (closer doctors but its a cost sharing plan).

If DH goes back to school, could we lower CS?

My husband recently was accepted into a 4 year degree program, with all the financing we never qualified before. Sadly a couple weeks later, he was let go from his job. He is getting a small sum from unemployment, but doesn't have any promising leads as far as getting a new job.

Glad I found this site...(long)

Mostly because I've been dealing with being a SM for the past six years, and shouldering most of the burden myself; thanks for having a place to vent and get support. I have SS13, SD9, and my two daughters 5 & 3. It has been a rocky road, mostly because of bipolar, unmedicated, codependent, and incompetent BM (oh yes, who is also a nymphomaniac with a victim complex), and who occasionally happens to be funny, together, and intelligent (although, not consistently enough to make her a good parent).

I was told it wasn't easy,

I've read a couple of posts and I can see that I'm not alone. At first I thought I was and when I saw this site.. OMG! Yes, thank you for helping me vent...

I get it now, being the sm is not easy. Especially when you have your own kids. What's with these exes. I know, not all of them r that bad but come on, can you b any more stupid.

Can you stop telling your kids lies. Stop telling them lies about us. About things that aren't even happening.

I have had enough.

≈CAN I PICK UP THE PHONE AN YELL AT YOU≈

I know, keep calm and just let her talk!
