When you know you get under BM's skin ...
BM tries to pretend she does not receive emails from DH. It's usually only emails where he's notifying her of his additional custody time (he gets 4 holiday weekends per year) or requesting documents she doesn't want to provide (tax info, etc).
To combat this, DH has resorted to printing them and mailing them to her via certified mail, with delivery confirmation.
BM allegedly remarried a few months ago but just recently started using her new married name. When DH sends the mail, he addresses it to her old name (his last name), and not her new one. He honestly didn't even know what the new one was since all of her emails and electronic signatures still use her old name.
She sent an email this morning, "Just letting you know I received your letter and that I'm HAPPILY remarried and my new legal name is xxxxx so there is no need to ever address me by my old name"
LOL .. we had a little chuckle .. all we really care about is that she confirmed she received the letter .. so no more withholding days 
The funniest part to me is
The funniest part to me is that she assumes we care. I couldn't care less. The gem in the whole email was her confirmation that she received the letters; so there's no denying she knew DH's plan to execute his additional visitation time
thank god BM never took DHs'
thank god BM never took DHs' last name.... }:)
I think it has always
I think it has always bothered BM more that I took DH's name. I know they were married, I was never upset that she shared his name, or that she refused to change it after the divorce.
But it REALLY got under her skin when I changed my name and people started to mistake me for the skids' mom. I just played like we were all one big happy family, and man oh man did it make her mad. }:)
BM & DH were never married.
BM & DH were never married. Never even tried being in a relationship until she was pregnant & it didn't even last the whole pregnancy. And soon after SD was born she got knocked up by his best friend. So anyways, never had DH's last name.
It kills her that I have his last name. When we send out christmas cards they can say "The DHslastname-s" & such. also at the school they always mistake me for SDs mom even though we live 3 hours away just because of the name. She hates that I'm "Mrs. DH" & she is "Ms. 'Maiden name' who's single with 2 children out of wedlock"
Do we have the same BM? My DH
Do we have the same BM? My DH and BM and shared an apartment together for maybe a year to try to make things work for skid. After it ended and DH went to pick up the rest of his stuff, she was in bed with another guy.
Hmmm, "Happily"??? I think
Hmmm, "Happily"??? I think she doth protests too much!
I think it’s hilarious when
I think it’s hilarious when the BMs put up the front that they are in a happy relationship (married of just BF). DH’s BM does that all the time. With every guy she’s been with, she’ll be act all lovely and sweet with the current guy she’s with but it’s so painfully oblivious it’s fake.
My husband's ex did this at
My husband's ex did this at mediation on saturday.
He asked that they use Our family Wizard for all communications because she never responds to emails.
She retorted that I read the emails and she only wants to communicate with my husband.
He said so what, we are married and we share everything.
She bragged that her boyfriend has never so much as asked about what she sends or does that they are so deeply in love that he r espects her enough to not even ask to know what the emails are about, let alone read them.
Right, right your boyfriend is so much in love with you that he never asks about what is going on in your life? And does not give a shit when you see your kids? Doesn't want to know anything about what is going on with your kids or your pending court case with your kids?
Oh yeah, that's true love. Deep love.
Ahh, the brags from BM. So
Ahh, the brags from BM. So satisfying. This reminds me of the time that BM, for no reason, told DH that she and her D?H had gotten raises. They both work at WalMart. Impressive, BM. Impressive.
Wow what they get 50 cents ?
Wow what they get 50 cents ?
Maybe together. I'm pretty
Maybe together. I'm pretty sure it was a quarter a piece.
BM has been "happily"
BM has been "happily" married, and divorced, twice now since DH (and who knows how many men that she didn't marry). She is now "happily" shacked up with someone new. So happy, that the BF sleeps in the living room (I know, maybe he snores but SD doesn't think that's it).
DH has only been with me since BM. Seventeen years. It just kills her.
Haha - I had the opposite way
Haha - I had the opposite way to get under BM's skin. I found out how furious BM was that DH married me because he never married her even after two kids.
After that, I made sure that DH addressed any correspondence to MISS BMsLastName rather than Ms. until she (finally) got married a few years back. She had sworn the skids to secrecy over her marriage and pregnancy but we found out anyway so then we freaked her out by addressing correspondence to her married name even though she thought we didn't KNOW she was married!! LOL
I can replace my cold, dead,
}:)
I can replace my cold, dead, evil SM heart with it!!!
I think that's part of why
I think that's part of why it's so amusing to me. She uses DH's last name on everything else .. down to her email. DH seriously didn't know her last name or how to spell it until she sent the email today. She's apparently been married for 6 months (convenient that she's also 5 1/2 months pregnant).
DH has heard SD7 say BM's new last name twice .. both times in reference to what the new baby's name is going to be .. and that was it before this morning. She's never referred to it as BM's name ..
Sounds similar to our BM.
Sounds similar to our BM. When she finally hooked this new guy, she randomly showed up with him one time and made a point to come talk to DH while hanging all over him. Her behavior was so odd that DH actually asked her if she was feeling okay.
I second that, Sparkling

She must have gotten her fashion tips from the strippers at her local watering hole!
ABout 2 years after DSO and
ABout 2 years after DSO and BMs divorce, Bm calls DSO and leaves a VM asking me to call her cell that it was an emergency. I was an idiot back then trying to just get along. I call the cell and it goes to her VM...if its an emergency and shes waiting for me to call then why didn't she answer??? you may ask.
She had just put her VM msg as 'This is MRS. XXXX'. Yea, she hit that MRS just a little too hard in that message. It was so obvious that it was all a ruse for me to hear that message and for the life of me, I still can't figure out WTF as they were officially divorced.
When we got our landline
When we got our landline hooked up because BM couldn't understand cell phone boundaries, I recorded the greeting saying "Hello you've reached the DHslastname family, please leave a message .."
Every message she left would start with .. "This is BMfirstname DHlastname, SD5 and SD7's MOTHER, calling to talk to MY daughters ..."
Ha .. made me chuckle every time ..
Ha .. sounds like our Bm.
Ha .. sounds like our Bm. Just last weekend she called DH's cell while he was at work. He immediately texted her back and said "Call the house, I'm at work. The number is: xxx-xxx-xxxx".
She called his phone 4 more times after that, sent 2 texts, and then an email saying "just confirming I tried to call your phone and you didn't answer and you won't allow me to speak to my kids" :?
Dumb dumbs
Another thing that will get
Another thing that will get under her skin .. receiving the calculation filed by DH's attorney for a modification of child support. She goes from receiving $240/month to OWING $26/month }:)
Idiot BM, talked smack about
Idiot BM, talked smack about me to some people. This is nothing unusual, but the hysterical thing? They were together for a hot minute when she was pregnant-they were not married, and have been split up for 13 years. I came along at the 8-9yr mark.
She spewed nonsense about me being a homewrecker and how I ruined her life with her ex-DH... (my DH.)
Bitch speaks in tongues..
