Bio doesn't know what size underwear the kids wear... I think we should take her Mom card away...

Bio called DH after 930PM last night to ask what size underwear she should buy the children. I kid you not...

She must of ran out of reasons why DH is a bad dad and ran out things to complain about. So back to calling and asking stupid questions about the children... to get attention or to interrupt our lives.

I'm pretty sure primary caregiver should be intelligent enough to figure out what size underwear to buy her children. She's does things like that to be annoying, correct? I mean she's been buying the kids underwear for over 10 years now... pretty sure she can figure that out without calling and discussing with DH.

is she that handicapped that she's unable to check the underwear on their ass?! or go root through the laundry basket?

BAH!

I soooooooo wish he would just hang up when she asks stupid stuff... But, she would just tell him he's a bad dad because she's wanting to "discuss the kids" and him hanging up would mean he doesn't care about them. BLAH BLAH She could make anything about the kids so she stays relevant in his world. It's really sad.

My skids BM hasn't bought them ANY clothes in at least 7 years. I'm sure she had no idea what size they wear.

BM used to ask me what kind of food SD likes, what she likes to play with, etc. anytime she'd go for a visit (usually just in the summer). Like lady, if you called once in a while, you might know these things....

My DH sent me out with SD (15) to buy bras. He's so incomfortable about it. Her mom isn't in her life (currently her mom is in jail).

BM here refuses to accept the children have grown. I had a struggle getting A in a bathing suit because she swore she wore a medium. Let alone she wore a medium last year. All of her clothing from moms is tight and small. She's finally understanding that she needs large and that's what we buy for out place. She can move easier and get's to just be a kid instead of feeling restricted.

BM is the same way with M. She sends him in shoes that are 3 sizes to small. The boy cries cause they hurt his feet but tell her that and she says "nope they fit". He also had 2T underwear for the longest time though I've slowly been throwing them out and replacing with children xs which is size 4/5. I buy the cool batman, paw patrol, ect for our place and the cheap tightie whities for him to wear home because while he can ride in car without shoes I refuse to make him were 2T underwear.

Yeah, BIO keeps sending SD in 2 sizes too small shorts to the house. SD literally comes over with her shorts unzipped and unbuttoned because they are two sizes too small. It's sad and selfish of BIO not to spend child support on clothes the kids need!

I figure it's a way for her to end up with our larger size clothes and replace their wardrobe while she's collecting child support AKA ~ "her paycheck".... to use on herself.

And that is why when she came to pick up the kids for her weekend during his summer visitation he carried son out without shoes on. He handed her the shoes she sent him in and explained that they were to small and that son would not put them on.
He returned with shoes that actually fit after that.

She's thrown a fit over clothes before. Last year for tax free weekend I got both kids two sets of clothes to wear while with their dad because yes they would bring bag of clothes but it was always too small or not the right stuff such as sending long sleeve shirts in the middle of August. BM found out that the clothes were bought and through an absolute FIT that they didn't get sent home with the kids. Ummm nope, Two things. First off I bought them not their dad. It was my money and there for my choice that they stay at his house. Second the kids needed clothes at his place.

Now that they have enough they don't carry a bag for visitation. They arrive in whatever which we wash. They wear the clothes they have here while with us then get sent home in what they arrived in.

I just can't believe this woman seriously thought she deserved the clothing that I bought for their dad's house.

BM used to send skids down in tiny clothes. There were several times that we had to cut underwear or shirts off of them. We figured she was just doing that so we'd send them back in clothes that fit. Which we always did. BM was notorious for digging out the ugliest, most stained, clothing she could to send skids to our house in. So we started sending them back in them. A few weeks later she started sending them in tiny clothing. We ended up providing 90% of their clothing because we kept throwing the tiny stuff out.

When DH got custody BM refused to give them anything and sold everything that belonged to the skids at a yard sale. She wouldn't even give us their jackets or school back packs.

A few months after they moved in BM bragged to me that she had gotten SD a lot of new clothes and that they were SOOO CUTE! They were all at least 1 size too small. SD wore a 6/6x and the clothes BM got were 4T and 5T. They were all skin tight on her. She started keeping our clothes and sending SD back in the little ones.

GBM still to this day hoards the skids clothing. We stopped letting them bring a change of clothes to her house last month. She's refusing to return anything and says she doesn't have anything for the skids to wear at her house. Skids say they have a whole drawer of clothes from our house over there, but GBM won't let them bring any home.

Selfishness... We give Bio $400 to buy new school clothes for 2 kids. It's suppose to be CO 50/50 (DH agreed to that.. I wasn't around or I would of said that's what child support is for! ... IDIOT...) She gets hand me downs from her relatives. She gets PLENTY of child support money a month to the point where she is a stay at home mommy to her plethora of kids she has now with her newest baby daddy. BIO would rather them go without ~ until we are forced to buy them new pants for Winter for her home and ours. She also does the same thing with hair cuts. She will let SS's hair grow out to the point he's complaining it's in his eyes because BIO doesn't want to spend Child Support on the kids and would rather have that for herself and let the kids suffer and go without things they need. She has the kids more ~ We have the kids about 8+ overnights a month. She wanted to be primary caregiver so she could get that bigger "paycheck". SO, SHE SHOULD ACT LIKE ONE!

BM was like that with haircuts too. In their entire life she's only taken them to get haircuts twice. We'd eventually get sick of it and cut their hair on DH's weekend. Hell, the skids have lived with us over 2 years and she hasn't spent a dime on either of them. Not a cent of CS or even a birthday present. Nada.
