School trip to Italy

SS13 has been invited to go on a school trip to Italy next year. DH and BM agreed. They also agreed on stipulations (good grades, better attitude, doing chores, etc) I immediately look at our budget to prepare to pay our HALF of the monthly payments which would roughly be 180.00 per month. BM set up a go fund me account. *SIGH* I told DH we need to plan to pay all of it because BM could never come up with her half of little league which was 90.00; the one time she did pay her half she had 6 months to do it and still paid 2 weeks late. I just don't see her paying.

SS13 is always crying

I do not understand this. Last night I casually asked SS if he thought about his plans after high school. He's 13 and has plenty of time to decide but I was curious. He said yes he wants to go to college and he gave me his top choices for school. His number one choice I knew. It's the college DH attended. However the other two were a surprise so I asked him why he chose those schools. He said he didn't know. So I asked him if he had an idea of what kind of degree he wanted. He said no.

My DH's family is going through some things right now and the way his sister is acting makes me want to shake the crap out of her.

I try not to judge but she, since both her kids were born, drops her kids off at MIL's house every single weekend and goes off and "plays" with her DH. MIL also picks up the girls 2-3 times per week after school and keeps them until 8 or 9 pm.

Initially my reaction has been why don't you want to spend time with your kids? but whatever not my life.

Just when I thought I couldn't think any less of BM....

A week or so ago I blogged about how BM wrote a blog declaring herself the most important thing in her life and she's putting herself first blah blah blah...then last night BM called DH to inform him that she has decided to pursue her singing career.

BM used to be able to sing. Now she sounds horrible...probably because she smokes 2 packs a day.

BM doesn't write any music and hasn't done anything beyond singing karaoke(sp?)

This is really an off topic question but did anyone else notice this new trend of companies letting people go with zero notice?

In the city I live in two restuarants closed down and the way their employees found out was a note on the door when they showed up for their shift.

So I'm trying to be as disengaged as possible. I don't remind SS to do his homework or his chores and if he asks me if he can do something I tell him to ask DH. I'm tired of always being angry and b*tching at him. I still call him on his attitude though. He's not going to speak to me with the same nasty tone he uses with his mother. I don't want to say this stuff to DH because I'm supposed to be disengaged.

My sister is in a seriously effed up situation. I have tried helping her make arrangements to leave. She keeps saying she's going to leave. She won't. The week before last my son witnessed a mild domestic confrontation between her and her boyfriend. So I put in him after school care somewhere else. She is upset with me. She didn't even tell me about it. My son did. He told me he saw her boyfriend push her. I wouldn't have left him in her care either way but I think I would have handled it better if she had told me rather than my DS6 telling me about it. I came completely unglued.

New Years was awesome! NOT!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that I can only log in once a week but I do NOT want DH finding this website he would really be upset but anyway on to my gripes

We had a cable outage over the new year holiday. I don't care about TV I can do without AND it'll come back on eventually. Why did this little sh!t call the freaking cable company to find out whether or not we paid the bill?
