We just don't speak stupid

I think our communication issues with BM is just that easy - we don't speak stupid.

Last week we dropped the SKids off at her house and FDH stopped to talk to her about the medical bill that she said she got.

back story - BM txt'ed a few weeks ago and said that she got a bill for SS4 that was $100 bucks. Then on switch day she told FDH not to worry about she just paid it because it was due. So something seemd odd and FDH called them place that she said the bill was from. They said that they had not sent any bills (they send them to both houses) because they were still waiting to hear from BM's insurance, the outstanding balance was $70.

FDH asked BM again who sent the bill and then tells her that he called them and what they said. She asked why they sent her a bill for $100? She insisted that it was from them and for SS4 but I am starting to wonder if it wasn't for something else, like her or her hubby. Who pays a bill with out seeing what it was for? OMG freaking moron! lol

So FDH didn't sit there and try to explain it to her, we just left it at that (I was listening from the car). We aren't paying her with out a copy of the bill (which she refuses to provide) and since the clinic says there wasn't a bill, we are going to go with that and leave BM to sort out the mess on her end. Explaining anything to her gives me a head ache.

She doesn't talk to me any more because the last time she came up with a stupid pointless plan, I told her it was the dumbest thing I had heard. I even broke it down to her on paper. Smile

Oh and last week SS7 informed me that BM (and him) came up with a plan for me to buy this Game store in town that is for sale, because it would be so much fun if I had my own game shop. Yeah she is still trying to find me a job so I can't stay home with the kids :). I told SS7 that was a bad idea - they just opened a new Game Stop in town and that was probably why this was one for sale, it can't compete. And owning a game store doesn't mean that WE (he and I) would get to play video games all day.

Seriously that woman gives me a headache - I just can't seem to explain anything to her in a way that she understand it. FDH doesn't seem to have more better luck - before he meat me his way of dealing with her was just to let her do whatever stupid thing she wanted to and go with it. Now he speaks up if he involves money or the kids future/health/education. Other wise she can doe what she wants.

Her new thing is - we sent a toad and a tadpole to her house last weekend Smile SO she said she was going to get us hamsters, FDH just said 'we have cats'. I told him to tell her that I want a lizard! FDH said no because we want a baby next year. Sad

I'm so glad GUBM is too dumb to try and get SO to pay for a bill under the ruse of it being for SD. She does try to get him to pay off her debt, though. Her thinking is that it accumulated while she was with him, so, it is his responsibility. Hahahahahaha. No.

I wish my GUBM would threaten to send animals to our house. They'd probably fare a lot better living with us than in her house, anyway. Like, the cat we have is technically SD's, but, GUBM abandoned her when she moved out of the townhouse and left her for 3 days with an empty food bowl. Nice. And the state of her litter box? Ugh. SO says she never changed or cleaned the litter box because it upset her nose to do it. Yea, I'm allergic to most kinds of cat litter, but, if it comes down to it, I'll suck it up, take an allergy pill and scoop the poop if need be. We offered SD to have her cat back when we were planning to move to Pittsburgh. GUBM said "no way" because she didn't want to be stuck cleaning the box and feeding her, so her genius self goes an adopts another cat a mere three months later.

And your FDH and my SO sound similar in that they both used to just let the BMs do whatever they wanted - I'm guessing your FDH found it easier that way? SO's the same way, he doesn't care what GUBM does as long as it doesn't have an impact on SD in any way, shape, or form. But otherwise? She just goes on doing as she does which is usually whatever stupid thing her mind has concocted for the day.

Sadly I think Dumb BM didn't make FDH pay her bill on purpose. I really think she just didn't read it, saw the amount and where is was from and just thought it was for SS4, much like with the current bill. BUT who really knows, or cares. Unless we SEE the bill or hear about it from the doc office, it's not getting paid.

Oh I love animals. They don't bother me, it's just stupid because we have sKids EOW so having pets is hard because SKids aren't here to take care of them EOW, so it falls on me since FDH works a lot. The Cats I don't mind because they are MY cats from before we moved in together. I got the sKids frogs last fall - again I don't mind they are cute. I don't really want a hamster - something cuter like a Sugar Glider of chinchilla, maybe. Smile We got SS7 a fish once and then BM got one a few weeks later, then fish died so we got frogs.

Oh if was easier for FDH to do whatever BM wanted. Her last great idea was to send SS& to the YMCA for day care after school. it was like $70 a week plus $50 a month for membership, when I am currently not working. He told that she could on her weeks but on our weeks I was going to watch him. Smile
