Just saw something BM publicly posted about how she's going to do a random act of kindness every day because little things make a difference and she wants to make the world a better place.

Please excuse me while I barf. This is the same woman who called DH a loser when they were married because he didn't want to go along with some pyramid scheme that she thought would make her a "millionaire". The same woman who also hit DH and called him an a-hole when he didn't take out the trash when she wanted him to. The same woman who made DH leave her alone when they were at the casino because she said he was bad luck and she would always lose when he was around. The same woman who logged on to her business partners email because she wanted to find out what he was saying about her, because she knew he had discovered that she wasn't paying her share of the business taxes and she was expensing things to their business that were not business expenses. The same woman who knowingly wrote bad checks and lied about them, but eventually was convicted and had to go to "bad check school". The same woman who is now telling her children "secrets" about how their dad caused the divorce, even though she filed for divorce so she could move in with her current boyfriend. The same woman who ran screaming in threatening to sue the school after my SS did something to himself and blamed another student for doing it. The same woman who switched two different children, at two different schools, to new teachers half way through the year because the teachers were "mean to her." The same woman who said that because I didn't want to be her best friend that I was probably a child abuser. The same woman who after her boyfriend pushed one of my SSs (when he was eight), defended him and told DH the kids were lucky to have this man in their life.

Somehow, I don't think sending a thank you note to her child's teacher (clearly not the ones who were mean to her) or paying for someone else's coffee at Starbucks is going to make up for all the other terrible things she's done in her life.

What probably bothers me the most is that I know there are people who eat up this crap about her (including my MIL) and feel that BM is just a sweet, little angel, whose bad behavior toward DH is only because she is protective of her children.
