FINALLY! - OT

Stick's picture

Got a chance to go and network with old working buddies and also see some really old good friends in the process. Had a few cocktails (I was driven to and from event) at the same time. And now, BM, who showed up 8 hours late yesterday to pick up SD wants to come in when she drops off SD to talk to me about some church / confirmation functions coming up! I've got the coffee brewing and I just ate some potatoes, but BM better watch what she says to me today. Defenses are DOWN!!! I can totally see me saying to SD - go in your room and finish your homework.

ot-since it was popular...surgery advice

I dont know your situation, but the best recovery imo is if you follow these steps if possible!

take bread and something to drink with you to surgery. when you get put to sleep, you are not able to eat anything the night before, therefore when you wake up from surgery, you can not take pain meds on an empty stomach. once the pain sets in, its hard to get rid of it. So you wake up, youre like wtf did i do this hurts...the person taking you home shoves some bread and sprite in you and then some pain meds, and off to wonderland you go.

Everyone has had a bill not arrive now and again the post office isn't perfect I however have a different problem... On Friday DH came home early and BM was sitting on our front steps waiting for skids to get off the school bus.DH was curious why BM was at our house because she usually picks up skids from school. DH decided to go outside and talk to BM.On his way down the stairs DH heard the creaking of our mailbox and saw the shadow of someone opening it in the stained glass window. As he got closer the lid was quickly shut and the person fled. Obviously it was BM.

Summer activities, programs for teens abroad

BM seems to have gone off the deep end, she is reportedly on cocaine and staying with "friends" her son 6, from a dif guy is with gramma, and SD, 15 still really wants to go visit for 2 months this summer. she misses her mother, brother and some friends in the town. (a few states away) We are very against this plan and it is a very sensitive issue, she loves her mom and brother and wants to visit. If she does not go it also signifies the end, it states how bad things are with her mom to the whole world, and not just in her own mind.

BM pushes the parenting on us once again

Every other Friday when we pick up SD8, I never know what to expect. Yesterday was one of the not so great ones.

First of all, the clothes SD8 was wearing: T-shirt (a size too small; sleeves were super tight), Socks (badly stained & worn out), Underwear (hole in the crotch) & Pants (3 sizes too small; HUGE holes all along the crotch...like 4 or 5 inches long). I would be ashamed to let my daughter wear this to school. What is wrong with BM?!

Just want to cry..........

I can't take it anymore. BM's nonsense just doesn't seem to end. It's one thing after another. She emails my husband several times a week (sometimes several times a day), with the premise of trying to iron out this whole mediation agreement, but really it's just her being an asshole. She is calling all the shots & expecting my husband to agree with whatever she wants. If he disagrees, she just makes up a million excuses why her way of doing things is "best for SD8", threatens him, puts guilt trips on him, etc.

Am I asking too much?

Ok, so last thursday was SD5's preK Graduation and it was over by 11:30 AM. She was going to stay with us until Sunday and then she was going to be gone for about 3 weeks, because she was going to her mother's (and DH's) home state in a road trip or whatever...
And BM and her boyfriend were/are leaving on Sunday...

Disengagement Part 3

Stick's picture

BM just picked up SD for her "day/night". WHAT THE F#@%?????? By the way, it's 8:00pm here where we are... so nice time with her own daughter. When she called last I just wanted to tell her to forget coming over and so did SD. She wasted BOTH of our entire days. But I don't want to be accused of PAS... so what the heck do I do??
