MIL rant

This is a situation with my MIL interfering. Several months ago my step child was spending the day with my MIL. My husband was working & not returning texts or calls from her, which is usual for him bc his mom pushes & pushes asking for more time with this child. So she texted me that my step child wanted me & my child to join them for lunch, stating she won't stop begging me to call you. I agreed to meet. Then received a text asking if my stepchild could stay longer that day, wanting more than the already 6 hours planned.

Christmas gifts

Keeping this short & to the point...

My step kids are ungrateful & rude especially when it comes to receiving gifts. (Shared observation by husband & other family) My children are over the top thankful & down right fun to give to. (Again shared observation by all)

Is it wrong to give a together gift for all the children (trampoline) & only individual gifts to my kids? Of course it wouldn't be done in front of the step kids.

What's that mean?

I'm very new to this site. I keep reading "disengage" I'm not quite sure what this means. Idk. I feel like if I disengage with my step kids then things will be drastically out of balance with my bio kids, in our massively blended family.

What do you call yourself?

My stepchildren's bio mom is totally consumed with jealousy. We have had a lot of "bumps" to weather. With that said, there's a counselor involved & the bio mom, in her own words is "trying to get over her issues". The kids are very much caught in middle; when she's not around they are fine, normal... When she's in sight (at public events, sports type things) they ignore me & sometimes act like they are scared.

If you have STUDENT LEAD conferences does the bio parent let the child attend the conferences with you or vise versa, do you allow them to????

I allow, if asked, I don't arrange if not asked tho.
As for them... They do NOT. NO way, No how. That's too bad that it's during a time I don't have them.

Electronics

My step kid has brought electronics 2x & claimed my kids damaged one & stole the other. The first time my husband ran out & bought a new system for over 300$!!! Even though when going over the timeline of events no one had access to his system nor knew he had it with him. & after getting the new one he explains the differences between the two, stating why he wanted a new one!!!! Then we told him NO MORE BRINGING. He brought stuff 7 times with us discovering it! & either took it back to moms house or put it away & did not allow him to have it.

Um those are my panties. Ugh.

So... My step son bent down to play outside... With all of us around... It was very obvious that out if his shorts were a pair of my THONG BACK panties. My first thought was, "do jock straps come in nude thomg back from Old Navy?" Yeah, no they don't! I took a second look & then we caught eyes. He pulled at his shirt to cover them, then went in shortly after to the bathroom. I later found them hidden in the bathroom. I talked to my husband about it... We have a VERY CONTENTIOUS custody situation with both his ex & mine. We didn't feel we could confront it & still don't.
