Happy Mother's Day, BM

I sent BM a box of artisan chocolates yesterday, wishing her a happy Mother's Day. Not so much to acknowledge that she is a mother, more so in thankfulness that she wasn't a rubbish BM to me. (I know there are a few people here who deal with psycho BMs  and that is one issue I never had.)

Of course BM doesn't really give a hoot about her children (I have taken care of SS18 since he was 14 and his Dad raised him as single parent after his divorce from BM before that), but with my ex-husband's fruitcake new wife, I am grateful that BM was disinterested and rarely bothered me. 

Yesterday, I got coffee in bed from the  boys (SS18 and BS14) and we all had breakfast together which they prepared. (Flowers and gifts so it felt like my birthday!) SS took the chocolates to his Mum after breakfast because he was going to drop gifts for her and then go to work. He did get a a text from his new stepmom (married to IPOD-H / exH): "No Mother's Day acknowledgment?" to which he replied. "I did acknowledged her." Bets on that IPOD-H got a tongue lashing about his ungrateful son from new SM...  

Newly married XSD22 is spending her honeymoon in jail. Three months for the fraud charge and an extra two weeks for mouthing off at the magistrate. I hope she thought about her first mother's day and what her awful behaviour has done to her own child.

To everyone else here, Mom or not, Happy Mother's Day! Maybe like BM, not because you are a mother, but for your struggles, nurturing and care. xx

New SM is not SS's cup of tea. He generally avoids her when he can because she is overbearing, nosey and bossy - not exactly the way to deal with him.

Even if he liked her, she is not his mother, nor is she any kind of a mother figure to him (like you are). She really needs to get over herself.

New SM sounds like a gem *mosking*. Why would she feel like she should be acknowledged? She didn't help raise him nor is she is mom. 

 

glad you had a great day!!

Thank you Smile

SM is an interesting piece of work. I feel sorry for her in some ways, but she is none of my business. She is my exH's wife which means I need  to give all of this a wide berth. Outside of asking SS to be respectful of her, it is none of my concern.

Myss, I am glad SS and BS spoiled you.

Good on SS for telling off SM therapist!
How long does she actually know him?
A year??

Can't believe she had the nerve to text SS that nonsense. She was looking to get her feelings hurt! Great reply from him!!

SS was in his early 20s when I met DH.  He's totally banned from my life now for the past two years.  But I would never have expected any Mother's Day acknowledgement from him even before that.  That new SM is nuts.

When SS was working at a restaurant he wanted DH to bring me there for Mother's Day brunch - but only because when he was waiting tables DH always gave him an ENORMOUS tip.  We had other plans.
