BM's money troubles (AKA laziness)

Nymh's picture

BM and BF are set to go back to court again on Tuesday regarding her suing him for more child support money...we'll see how that goes. Two weeks ago when SS came out here, BM's and his cellphones were "messed up" (had been shut off). Now, her home phone "isn't working right either" (has been shut off). She still has internet though, because she emailed me to ask if I could have SS email her to let her know how he was. We were away for the weekend and didn't have access to email, but she had several numbers to reach us at which she never called.

I gave my SD11 independence

I have blogged about my irritation with BM calling MY house everyday or night that the SK's are here. Originally my conclusion was to get a cell phone for her to call the kids so I could track the amount of calls coming and going. This is mostly an issue with the youngest SK because the older 2 have their own cell phones and are 16 and 18 so they are hardly ever home anyway. I kept talking myself out of it. I finally, after much arguing with myself, figured out the real reason and true benefit (in my mind) for getting her a phone.

Help with Husband not Skids what a shock!

kay's picture

Quick update. Busted husband having a text message "friendship" with a woman from his work that lasted about 4 months or so. He has convinced me against my better judgement that they are friends and his only problem was ot letting me know of the friendship. PROBLEM: right now as I type this he is in the shower getting ready to go to her house for another coworkers engagement party. He said I was invited but to no surprise it is way to late to get a babysitter. That is right I have my two kids and his son with me tonight. Part of me wants him to go ... am I sick or what!

Wedding question - odd request from BM

Mary Louise's picture

In 5 days we leave town for our wedding/vacation. In 11 days we'll be married. So far, no big BM blow ups, in fact, she actually agreed to swap some time so we can get out of town early. Not sure why she's being so "nice".

I'm finally getting excited. Skids are so excited, I suspect both BM and in-laws are SICK and TIRED of hearing the kids go on and on and on about how they can't wait to leave town and have the wedding.

Here's my latest dilemma: BM told ss to "have XXXXX take some photos of you in your tux and send them to me"

I got the job!!!

When school starts back on the first day in August I will be a dorm counselor! It's a the deaf school here in town. The kids live there during the week and go home on the weekends. I'll be working from 10pm till 8am. So DH will have to deal with the Skids! Hahaha!! Then I'll come home and go to bed while the hellions are at school. I will however have to watch them till 6pm when DH get home. I'll also only be working four nights a week! Also I'll still be a substitute school bus driver for the county. That's only once or twice a month.

Advice

FavSM's picture

Well im in need of a lil advice. for ss11 bday we got him a prepaid cell phone bc his 11 yr old sister has one and he really wanted one. But we made him sign a contract stating that he had to do chorus to keep it as well as ohter things like his attitude and behavior. So DF and I are having a hard time coming to an agreement on what he should have to do.

I am so very frustrated and need advice

torturedmommydearest's picture

DH and I have been married for over 4 years now. We are still very much in love and happy. He is not so much the frustration. It is his daughters, my SD (2). They are twins and age 11. One of them is usually respectful, obediant and does not cause much trouble AT our home. I am not sure of her innocence away from our home. The other twin is borderline evil. DH and I dated for a year or so before we got married and things were great, even after marriage things were fine. SD hated mom, didn't want to go home, etc. Things with MIL and whole IL family was good.

I just told my H I hate him and hung up on him!

Regretful1's picture

Ouch! I was SO frustrated with him and I feel like all my love has been beaten out of me and all I have left is anger and resentment. He is out of town, has been for 2 days...won't be back for another 4...he was boarding a plane...we were arguing...he said sarcastically 'I'm going to let you go now, '...just dripping with anger...and it just slipped out! I said, "I hate you!" and hung up the phone. I don't know what to do. He is on the plane now...and I won't see him for days...and he has an AWFUL temper as it is!!! He will probably never forgive me. He may even want a divorce.

Alone Again.....

Chel Bell's picture

Well, I spoke to my MIL the other day, and she had a really good visit w/ skids, and told me that BM's DH is gone, and she is definatly alone now. Well no surprise to me really, but for some reason, (no for a immature reason on my part...yeah I admit it!) I was happy to hear it. I think it's because BM used to force their relationship down our throats.....constantly telling us how "great their lives are", & "that her DH was a real man", and went on and on about their sex life that it got rediculious.
