As someone that got into debt and pulled herself out (18 months now without a debt to my name bar the student loan!) I can be quite touchy about money, especially the amount that my OH can spend on his son.
Reading some of the blogs & forum posts on here it's clear to me that money can often be an issue in blended families - some kids may have more material things than others, arguments over paying out of joint accounts for big items for skids etc.
Mine and DH's anniversary is Monday. Last year, The Wookie who NEVER texts DH, sent him a series of texts and pictures one evening, two days before our anniversary date. While sitting there wondering what the hell, it dawned on us that she thought it was our anniversary and was being spiteful. We actually thought it was pretty funny.
So that means, she will be calling Saturday night.
This year, I'm ready! I intend to either text back or call her and tell her that DH is busy, has his hands and mouth full and can't be bothered.
Small bit of background since this is my very first post: I have 2 stepkids (ss8 & sd12) of whom my husband has 50% custody. Their mother is a nightmare who has a history of scaring away decent babysitters with her antics (general craziness, not paying them, etc).
I work from home and we recently hired a college student to pick the kids up from school and help with homework (I guess that's usually called a mother's helper). When BM found out, she demanded to know the girl's personal contact information and DH refused to give it to her.
I have a 19 year old step daughter, who hasn't graduated high school. She has no job! But she is madly in love with her future husband. And too top this off, they are fixing too have a baby! Now what is wrong with this picture? They are both irresponsible. Neither one knows anything about providing a home for a baby. My step-daughters room looks like a cyclone has hit it more than once! But then on the other hand, she says her boyfriend is a slob when it comes too house cleaning! Thought you had too be able too do something right before you could show or tell someone how too do something?
like previously posted, BM called cps on us. They cleared us officially last night cause they thought it was just a bogus ass claim they didnt even need to have on their list.
This is from Children of the Self-Absorbed by Nina Brown...
My third blog taken from Children of the Self-Absorbed by Nina Brown...
THE CONNIVING PARENT
From Children of the Self-Absorbed by Nina Brown...
THE PRICKLY PARENT (this is also BM and SD's response)
All of the following is from the book, "Children of the Self Absorbed" by Nina Brown. It's actually a workbook for adults to help them get over being the child of a narcissist. I bought it to see if it could help me figure out what is going on with SD and BM. There are 4 types of Narcissistic Parents .... I'm going to do this in 4 blogs... ! This is the first. It also has what the child's response is to each type of parent. These "classifications" and the child's responses are what really convinced DH and I about BM.
