Today Wacjob filled BFs phone up with text about how she had to pay 38 dollars for girl scout trips and what a pos he is cuz he refuses to pay support. (they have 50 50 and it wasnt ordered due to their incomes being similar and some other things) She went on to hound him about how he took cash to school today for book fair money for the kids but cant pay this and that and bla bla bla...

Whenever things don't go BM’s way, she calls me a bitch. Well I couldn’t resist any longer and sent her this lovely e-mail.

BM,

BITCHOLOGY }:)

When I stand up for my beliefs, and myself you call me a BITCH :? .

When I stand up for those I love (including your kids), you call me a BITCH :? .

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, you call me a BITCH :? .

Being a BITCH means I won’t compromise what’s in my heart.
It means I live MY life MY way.
It means I won’t allow ANYONE to step on me }:) .

I just don't understand what's going on in her mind when she refuses to communicate/cooperate on financial matters, issues regarding the children and legal issues.

I was on this site to vent my feelings about my stepchildren and their BM when I realized my children's stepmom might be on here also! She hated my children. I don't think she is evolved enough to actually dwelve into her issues with my children, so it's probably a stretch to think she would actually care enough to work it out on here. But if she is, I want to say this to her.

I forwarded the link for the Wife V2.0 T-Shirt to my wife. She cracked up when she saw it. She bought it. She went with Red.

She even called my mother to tell her about it and they both chuckled over the phone about it.

They both get many chuckles of my first marriage.

Thanks for sharing S-Moms. :O

Best regards,

Getting ready to leave for Daytona on Friday morning. We were SUPPOSED to have SD on Thursday evening but now she wants to switch to tonight instead. Apparently her older sister (not DH's) is coming over Thursday night. Poor kid idolizes that girl, but damn....she is a H.O.T.T. MESS. She is always making promises to SD and she gets so excited and then doesn't follow through which just breaks SD's heart. The funny thing is she is only a couple of years younger than I am (yes DH is considerably older than me). She's 25 and I'm 28. Ohhhhh but the differences!!!

Sometimes I notice that some posters seem to "have it all together" so to speak. So, I've been wondering for a while, and this is for everyone: Why are you here on Steptalk? If you had to narrow it down to 1 specific reason, what would that reason be?

Here's mine:

Just an update. I think I posted that SO lost his job about a month ago. SS16 has been with BM. SO still has full physical custody and BM will never get that because she can't provide for SS adequately - she's not even allowed overnights per the custody agreement due to her living circumstances. But BM and SS insisted repeatedly this is what they want, so SO allowed SS to go with BM (and in fact does not want SS back due to SS's current delinquent attitude).

I think it's interesting...we put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect stepparents and parents and we try to learn from our own parent's mistakes. My mom made some silly ones.

What did your parents (or step parents do)?

Is it a coincidence that the nutjobs all wake up and start posting at the same time? has anyone else noticed this?
