Well, we all made it!! My kids flight was canceled on Friday, so my DH & I, and our little one got a hotel in Boston, and watched the snow fall!! We did have a good time, the place was nice, and I got to destress, knowing my kids were flying in the next morning. They made it, but it took forever for them to de-board the plane, cause all the gates were full, there were alot of cancelations, and delays. So we drove home and the snow started again, and got home after 5pm. We got soooo much snow here on the Cape it is unbelieveable.
For we're off to face BM.
This trip is going to be stressful, I know that already. 90% because I like my privacy darnit! and 10% because we're going to be dealing with a hyper SD at MIL's house. I adore my MIL, but she's one of the ladies who thinks grandchildren are for spoiling. I don't feel as free laying down the law when I'm not in my own house, but DH will take care of it.
Follow up to "am I overreacting" blog. I know I am not overreacting and I know this kids needs help. I spoke to my husband about it and he took SS7 downstairs in the basement and had a "talk" with him. Apparently this "talk" was in one ear and out the other because when he came back upstairs all he told BD7 was that if he answered all of his dads questions he would get to see santa. Then he said "and guess what? I get to see santa" I spoke to DH and he said that SS7 was crying about it and how emotional he was with him. I fail to see the emotion.
Complicated. See I have always had a really good gut instinct on most things but particularly BM. We asked for insurance cost proof in regards to cs. All that was presented was a letter stating "family" portion and then this was divided by BM's children, her and her DH. Well...what was not mentioned was the fact that BM's current husband who is the insurance carrier also has two children from his previous marriage and I am positive that they were covered the last time we were in court on cs. See, I want to know if they are covered or not.
Ok, so SD16 was with sugarmama until today. Last night I needed her car keys and went into her room, which is not a norm. It was disgusting and really pissed me off! So, when she came home today, I took her cell phone away until she cleaned the room from top to bottom.. She gets a gazillion text messages a day and it kept buzzin, so I went to turn it off and there was this new video msg that opened when I opened the phone. It was from her BF (500 miles away) masturbating. OMG I am so flippin grossed out I want to puke!!!! That's disgusting.
Thanksgiving SD17 & SD14 brought H's dog (who is also SD14's dog) to my house w/them. I was TOLD the ex wanted a break from caring for the dog, so they wanted to leave him here until H was home again. So H came home 10 days later-they still didn't want the dog back.
SD14 calls today to tell me tomorrow is the dogs b.d. Then H called-could I run some money over to SD14 (30 miles away) so she can buy a game she's been saving up for. So I asked him if I should take the dog back when I go over.
Ok SD 13 is badddddd - she steals, is hatefule and ungrateful. Everytime she steals from me H gets mad at ME! H has EOW custody - when we had full custody we did not have has many problems so I know BM is behind it - regardless H needs to make her obey (guilty parenting). I disengaged - and it helped But last week she stole tampons - I had to address due to health issues and make sure there is not more to it - is something going on that we don't know about -is she back to stealing for BM????
My BM has a flare for the dramatic which mainly means she she tells a lie or two to get sympathy...
I belong to a on line club in my city for free recyling, well I found out by accident that BM belongs as well. I got a surpise in my mailbox. BM posted that she was looking for weights for her son (SS14) and that this was the only thing he has asked for Xmas. This is what she wrote:
Yesterday was horrible. I had let myself slip so far behind in school and I was LOADED with assignments, so I started them early on in the day, took a break and came back to them later on. I was getting extremely frustrated (I still am) with Algebra. I wasn't understanding why I excelled at it in high school but not now, in college. amongst all the frustration of my homework, crying babies, and anxiety, I was dreading the next day (today).
BACKGROUND:
I met my fantastic boyfriend earlier this year and we've been dating since. My boyfriend unfortunately has a psycho ex-wife. She divorced my boyfriend over 4 years ago, for a guy she was having an affair with.
