Today my son turned 12 :-)
Well today was an awesome day. My son just turned 12 years old, I am 31 so we had a really great day. He got a lot of nice gifts and his bio-dad, who has not been involved until recently called him to wish him a great one and promised that he would be seeing him soon. So, overall it was a great day. This time of year is really busy for me & the family. With Christmas, then my son's birthday in Jan., and my other son will be turning 1 in February. Thank goodness it's around tax refund time.
On another great note today, we have BF's daughter with us until Monday "that is an entirely differentt story, I will blog about that later. But anywho, it's her mommies birthday on Tuesday. I really can't stand BM as I find her to be very immature, not responsible at all, and just a total train-wreck waiting to happen. I know if I left BF with his daughter and IF they went anywhere that she would ask her daddy to buy mommy a B'day gift so I took it upon myself to take care of it today while shopping for my son.
We went into the Drugstore to buy cards and I suggested we get her mom's gift while we where there. She picked out a colorful purple/pink card.
At first I wanted to buy her "This Vibrator Bug" LOL !!! Yeah wouldn't that be funny her daughter would have no clue but she would obviously be pissed. So, instead of that I thought about buying her a Chia Pet.... Doesn't everyone loves those things - NOT ME... But her daughter seemed to love the scooby doo one and we found out it costed $15.00 (WAY TO MUCH)... So, we bought two 99 cent candles. I'm sure BM was hoping that BF would be suckered into getting whatever her daughter wanted but NOT THE CASE! All together I probably spent $5.00. But her daughter is happy so I guess that's all that matter's but I am just happy that I am the one who decided how much. Ya know.
For Christmas BM bought BF a Nike sweatshirt and a horseshoe game by Eddie Bauer. She bought it for the kids to give there dad but she didn't buy our baby one thing. Not that I expected her too or anything but it is her children's 1/2 brother and I go all out for them.
And last night while we were looking at Electronics BF's daughter was telling my son that she got a TV for Christmas but she couldn't watch it. My son was shocked that she didn't have cable or satellite. So, we passed by an antenna and she immediately knew that by having an antenna she could watch tv. My son felt so sorry for her that he told me he wanted to use his B'day money to buy it for her. I told him No, he wasn't using his money to buy an antenna it was only $9.00. So I had her call her mom and ask if she had an antenna and if not I would buy it for her. She called her mom and obviously BM never got an antenna or had any intention of buying one so she told her mom that I was buying her one. Her mom told her to tell me thank you. LOL...
Oh and BM came by after not seeing her kids an entire two weeks while they have been with us, and picked up her son. Because her daughter didn't want to go out the grandpa's house for the remainder of the weekend. I have no clue why BM can't spend time with her kids and keeps pushing them off because her daughter leaves Thurs. to go to Washington for a week with her school. We will have her until Monday night. Then Tues. is with her mom, then Wednesday we have her again because she wants to be with us before she goes to Washington. So, have no clue what is up with that.
But BM showed her daughter and son when she came to pick them up that she had gotten a tattoo on her tailbone. Yeah, what a great gift she gave herself with the money BF has paid her in the last two weeks while we have had both children FULL TIME.
She goes on to tell them that she got the Tattoo for THEM
It's an OVAL with one red star in the left "supposed to be her", two blue stars on the right "supposed to be her daughter and son" and then there is another blue one on the bottom left "supposed to be BF's oldest daughter" and the red in her star means the love that she has for them. Can you believe that? She was never even married to BF why would she put a star on behalf of the eldest daughter who is 20 and preggo?
Doesn't make any sense to me. But anyway I have some things to do I will try and blog more later.

Buying gifts for BM???
I am confused...:puzzled:
Has BM moved on?? The way I feel about this situation is that, for example, SD's grandmother (BM's mom) could have taken her shopping for a birthday gift, or some other member of the family. I don't think that is your place or your husband's place - just my opinion!
I am curious...how often does this happen with all of you guys on this site? My husband's ex has remarried and his girls have told me that either her new hubby (their stepdad) or her mom (their grandmother) buys Christmas, birthday and Mother's Day gifts for BM from the girls. And I buy gifts for my husband from the girls for his birthday, Father's Day, etc. - BM does not do that and never has.
In our situation,
In our situation, my husband and I have talked to both x's, and my X does not send cards, presents, etc. HOwever, we have told BM on numerous occasions to please stop sending gifts. He has told her that if she insists, please teach the kids how to make a card or craft. Nope.....she buys gifts and it's just plain ridiculous. Some may think it is nice, but she always makes reference to how "broke" she is, or sends the kids home with them telling us how mom doesn't have any money and dad should buy the new shoes. So...that's why we don't want her spending money on us.
If we have no reference to money, buying, presents, clothes, etc...the better it is.
Plus, we both feel that it can be done within the home if the all parties agree.
