You're Not Fooling Anyone BM!

BM had SD13 call daddy to say that she wanted to come this weekend, because she misses the dog...

Then SD13 decided that she changed her mind and will be with her friends this weekend. Apparently the dog is not missed that much.

BM informs DH that even though SD13 doesn't want to come, SS9 does.

Hey, BM, we're not stupid. We know you are going out of town and your brats don't want to stay with your mother, so you are trying to send them to our house. Not happening! Its NOT our weekend!

I can't stop laughing!

Things are still a little touchy...maybe a break from SD8 will help...

SD8 is going to spend about 4 days with her grandparents. This had already been planned over the weekend...before our big argument (not sure if you could really call it an argument...let's say our "relationship rift"). She is fine...yesterday she spent ALL day long with daddy (he took off work and kept her home from school) and they had a fun day together and she had no tummy pains and NO spit-ups from the acid reflux.

Well, Well, Well...... We have the big court battle next week on 9 Sept. BM has filed an affidavit, and motion claiming DH, Me and his family abuse SD (physical and mental abuse), claims we leave her in places unknown with unknown people, DH and I tried to kill her in her sleep, we cause her to have nightmares, Our home is unstable, SD hides her clothing to keep from coming, we constantly lie to SD, and that she is owed more child support, DH scares her when picking up child ...etc. She is attempting to take away joint custody and visitation and get more child support.

I did something naughty

If you'll remember, the Wookie told my DH that under no circumstances am I to touch SD9's hair. In my head, I usually flip her the bird as I'm styling SD9's hair anyway.

However, today was picture day at school. So in order not to "get caught," I let SD9 go to school with unkepmt hair. We don't buy school pictures anyway. We usually take very good pictures ourselves in front of our tree in the front yard. But BM buys every single school picture the kids have ever had.

Family reactions to SD9's behavior this weekend...

I had a VERY interesting talk yesterday with my husband's stepmother. Apparently, she did notice SD9's behavior over the weekend & is not at all impressed. She said EXACTLY the same things I've been saying & agrees that my husband desperately needs to stand up to BM -- even if that means putting SD9 in an awkward position (BM will tell her everything & use her as a bargaining chip). He's giving BM her way now & look how SD9 is acting.

What a stressful w/end

SD16 supposed to be at BM over weekend. Get call Saturday afternoon, BM and SD got into fight, BM ended up calling cops b/c she felt threatened. DH goes to p/up SD, but charges are only dropped if SD agrees to come home and follow rules. She claims she will. Well, low and behold, she threatens to run, we call cops two more times over weekend (does run away on Sunday). All over SD BF. SD is out of control, BM can't handle her in these situations, so it is up to us to "fix her" before she can go see BM again.

Ok I was just about to post how happy iam to be a step parent, and I still am cause I just saw the TATOO BM got for SD15 !!!!!!

Are you F**cking kidding me!!!!!!! It is a tasteful one I guess. on the inside of her wrist, chinese symbols that means 'chance' her 4 yo brothers name. she has been wearing braclets, you know the kind KIDS wear, friendship braclets, woven ones. Anyways, what kind of mother takes her 15 year old daughter to get a tatoo on her wrist, a most obvious place, that will be with her the rest of her life! I am beside myself. without words.

Just For Fun

So, My DH and I were at the grand daughter's bithday party this evening (Lazy SD Princess 25's Daughter who also lives with us). So the kid gets two of the "Disney Princess" Barbies (Cinderella and Aurora). Well, I couldn't help myself, out came the comment to my 3 adult Step Daughter Princesses "Matel should come out with a line of Disney Wicked Step Mother Barbies". Well, the Lazy SD Princesses informed me that those dolls just wouldn't sell and would be completely inappropriate.

Inappropriate?

Wouldn't sell?
