I know I sound paranoid but BM has been surprisingly quiet and normal lately I feel as if something is a brewing, or can i actually be lucky enough to have the insanity finally stopping? If only she would now put her son first life might be bareable... although in great related news my SS8 went from a 60 in spelling to an 83 we really figured a way to help him learn I was so proud. However his mother was boosting to the football mothers about her hand in it a week ago, except I do all of his spelling homework with him...

Does anyone else out there have a BM that tells the step child its ok to call them a "bitch" or "whore"? Because I do the other day we got in the car and my SS8 asked what a "bitch" was and my husband asked why and his reply was "thats what mommy says Kate is" Can you believe that she also tells him he doesnt have to listen to me! Im really lucky he is a great kid doesnt call me those names and listens really well for an 8 yr old.
