Well it's been a which since I have been on but I wanted to update you all on what has been going on with the SS and his job situation. Unfortunately he did not go to the store where they were conducting interviews so, he missed out. What I additionally learned is that all of time I was checking into what SS had to do to get an interview and go through with this job process, my husband did not want him to get one. Initially he told me that he wanted him to get a job so that's why I was helping with the search. Now he says he doesn't want it because he is afraid his grades may slip....that's bull.

Then he tells me that BM said "since you are going to have him for the summer, you need to get him a job over near your house".

He as acting funny about his entire thing and then it all made sense. After SS failed to follow through with the job situation near his high school, my husband started talking bout US getting him a job near us. It didn't make any sense because he would only have the job for 2 months and then he would have to quit so that he could go back to school in August. My husband kept pushing and pushing and I kept saying it doesn't make sense...who is going to pick him up or take him to work. We work. If he was at his house, he lives close enough to stores where he can walk.

But when he told me what the BM said....it all made sense. He is trying to accommodate her!!! Really...? Why? She then asked him if I could get him a job where I work since I work for a family owned business. I told her no. Better had cause if he would have even suggested it...I would have been HOT!!

I told him point blank...we will not get him a job. We will not take him to apply for any jobs. If she does have any good sense to know that it would have been best for him to apply for a job closer to his school so that he could have kept it throughout school, then oh well.

October 2016, SS turns 18 and May 2017 he graduates high school....then it will finally be over. I told my husband on the last day school better be the last time that she ever calls him regarding his son. After that any communication with regards to SS better come from SS himself. She better never call him about anything with regards to that boy.

My husband always says you should talk to her and I say why...I didn't marry her or have a child with her. Just because you are too afraid to give her a piece of your mind, doesn't mean you are going to pimp me out to do it for you...NOPE!
