Two weeks ago DH took SS river tubing. SD was too small, so we stayed behind and had a pool day.

BM lost her shit, threatened to call the police because DH didn't answer when she called and he was on the river. Your typical BM meltdown, there is one every week.

Low and behold, 2 days later, she blows DH off for his weekday overnight the day of, and off she goes with the boyfriend to do what else but A RIVER TRIP. You really can't make this shit up. She comes home and posts a public album to Facebook (word gets around) so we would be sure to see what a super awesome better time they had.

The kids must be able to see through this...

I am happy they had fun. Blessings their way, I hope he marries and impregnates her as fast as possible... get her mind off of one upping us constantly.

My SS's BM use to play this game as well. No matter what we said we were going to get the SS's, they would try to do it faster and better. We had been given a trampoline but had to find a way to pick it up. BM went out that weekend and bought them a brand new one. We would buy the SS's new shoes for school and BM would take them and buy them even more expensive shoes. We would talk about going camping with the SS's and BM would rush out and take them camping.

It finally caught up to them when I started leaving out flyers for New cars and vacation destinations. I knew that MSS was the little spy of the group and would go back and tell BM what he found.
I swear BM took the SS's on vacations she couldn't afford just to one up us. When In reality, we never had any plans to go on those trips or buy those cars and never told the SS's we were, MSS just saw the flyers and ran back and told BM. She also went out and bought a new car within a week of me leaving the flyer out.

She finally stopped competing with us.

haha, I like your approach to this issue.

I think the only thing that will stop BM is settling down with the boyfriend. She seems to need something to focus on other than what DH and I do.

Seriously stupid but it works out great for the kids!

It must suck to have so little creativity regarding what to do with her own kids that she has to copy. Pathetic.

I mean, if she wants to compete, take it to the next level, don't just do a repeat of what's already been done. What an amateur.

I know, right?... another river trip. Almost as lame as her trip last summer to the same island the very day before we planned to take the kids (hitting every single tourist spot, to make sure they would be bored to death with it when it was our turn.)

BM pitched a royal fit when we took SD(23att) to Mexico. It was insane, texts saying we'd be drunk and passed out while the staff at the 5 star resort broke into her room and raped her!
She would be kidnapped and sold into sex slavey and it would be all our fault because we took her on vacation. Instead of taking her to her death, we should use the money and buy SD a new car.
How could we do this to BM, she was so up set she couldn't breath and wanted to punch DH in the throat.
She also kept SD up all night begging her to stay home and just not show up at the airport in the morning.

Then a year later BM finds a deal online and takes SD to . . . Mexico. i guess BM was better prepared to protect her from the resort staff and roaming gangs of kidnappers.

She did the same thing last year when SD(27) was touring Europe. She freaked out on DH for not physically stopping SD and for paying for her flights and euro rail pass (it was her grad present). She had SD in tears and up all night before she left.

Now she's planning on a trip for her and SD to Greece as soon as she sells her house in resort town. If SD goes anywhere without BM, she's heading into doom but if BM is there it's all ok.
This girl is now 28 years old.
