Oh Joy!

Dh is doing boy scouts with ss and they both seem to really like it. Dhs dad (stepdad) attended the meeting and has signed up for as one of the leaders. Dh came home really happy from the meeting and he had ss with him. It's not his night so I asked him why and he said bm said to just keep him on scout nights. She isn't exchanging it for his other overnight she is just 'giving' us this night every week. How fortunate for her to get another free night during the week. Dh now has every other weekend, Mondays and Tuesdays and every other Thursday.

Does dh answer evertime bm calls?

This weekend I planned a fun adventure for us. We went to my sisters ranch Friday night and stayed until last night. It's 3 hours away so we were out of town. Bm called Saturday morning while we were having breakfast and dh didn't answer his phone. Surprise surprise dhs stepdad called and dh knew it was related to bm so he didn't answer and just checked his voicemail. His dad (stepdad) left a voice mail that said he was going to pick ss up for him and let him know when he is coming to get him.

Well well well couldn't afford a Tshirt but got a new Truck!!

Dh went to get ss for his Thursday night visitation and surprise surprise in Bm's drive way is sitting a brand new Dodge 1500. Ss was really excited about it and wanted to show dh so he got out and looked. He said it looked fully loaded and no he didn't go inside it, he just stood at the door and let ss tell him all about its features. I told dh I bet his dad paid for it or that he paid part of the down payment.

Done

Dh took ss to his parents house Friday night to set the record straight. Dh's stepdad welcomed them in and they sat down to talk. Dh tried to bring each point up and discuss it but dh's dad would turn it around and blame dh for not being there for ss. Dh was telling me what happened and he said when he got frustrated, Tony, said, "There now you know how it feels to have no control and people telling you how you should feel. Are you taking your son on his scout camping trip or are you going to continue to be a bad father?".

SS played his paw paw

Dh had lunch with his dad (stepdad) on Friday to talk about ss. Dh left furious with ss. When paw paw took him shopping, ss told him how bad he is treated at our house, how no one loves him or wants him there, how dh ignores him to play with my girls, how I make food I know he is allergic to (one time, we were newly married and I forgot he was allergic to Brussel sprouts) and insisted he eat it (once dh reminded me he was allergic I apologized, ss didn't remind me just refused to try them).

Dh's dad (step dad) gave him an ultimatum

We go with dh last night to pick ss up from visitation and when we get there bm is outside waiting with ss. As ss gets in the car bm calls out don't forget to thank dad and sm for your new scout uniform and boots. Ss says oh yeah, thanks dad my boots are awesome I can't wait to go hiking next weekend. Dh tells SS he didn't buy him a uniform shirt or boots and before he can ask about hiking SS interrupts him and said I know you had to work so paw paw took me shopping for you, text mom and ask her to send you the picture we took I look so cool dad.

Dh disagrees

Dh and i sat and talked last night. He doesn't believe that ss embarrassed him on purpose or that he was being manipulative. He blames himself since ss did tell him that bm couldn't buy the shirt because she didn't have any money but dh thought bm was being cheap. She has said before she didn't have the money for something but managed to pay it when dh said no. I tried to get him to see that ss shouldn't have yelled what he did but dh disagreed and said his behavior was normal.

SS HUMILIATED dh last night

Dh and I have learned not to give bm an inch because she takes a mile. Anything dh does extra bm makes sure he does everything 100%. For example, when ss was 5 bm signed him up for soccer. Dh took ss to a practice on his night and then bm completely bowed out and refused to take ss to anything practice related and dh was stuck doing it all season even on her days. Because of this we signed ss up for Karate on our nights. It meets once a week and I can take my girls the same night so all our kids are involved in an activity on the same night which makes it easier on us.
