What A Surprise ...bm didn't buy ss13 a ps4 after all
Ss told us bm was getting him a ps4 for Christmas. He bragged about it to my bios for the three weeks before Christmas when he was headed to his mom's.
So what did she get him? Oh, he's do happy because she got him a pair of jeans and "really expensive socks that cost $20 a pair". Apparently she spent $120 on socks alone.
She also got him two more beanies. He can add those to the collection of the other 46 that she has previously purchased for him.
But why am I surprised?
...same woman that always promises the world. Never delivers.
SS: when can we open gifts?
Yes. All the kids said that first thing this morning so why am I so bothered by dh and SS?
I tell dh that it's Christmas eve and SS still needs to take care of dd's gift for the kids' exchange. Dh goes and talks w SS and returns to say " he want to get her earrings"
I'm like...and... Do I need to spell this out?
Dh says that we can jut pick out earrings for her.

Sitting here listening to SS have a freak out
Ss brought in the dog kennels. The kids washed them earlier today.
He is having a major freak out, cussing under his breath and cursing anyone willing to listen. It seems. Ecsuse he is having trouble shutting one of the cage's doors.
As much as I wanted to ignore him, i finally yelled for him to relax and take a deep breath.
This kid is ridiculous.

10 Things I hate about SS .. And other holiday ramblings
1. He is constantly worried about what he is getting for Xmas
2. He actually said "welll since we all got one, it can't be anything expensive" regarding a gift under the tree
3. He did not get anything for his father (nor has he mentioned a desire to, nor did he give him the chiol gift). - he's with us ft
4. He does a duck face every time he passes a mirror/window/shiny surface
5. He's the first to declare that things are unfair with the other kids (even though things are 98% in his favor)
I could go on and on.
OT: Is it ethical for exH to send DD12 to His and Step Mom's Marital Counselor
DD12 has her own counselor. ExH doesn't "love" her, but the counselor has helped my daughter through a few things. She also doesn't beleive in seeing the child when there isn't anything to work on.
A few things have come up lately with DD12 and exH has asked if DD12 can see the counselor that him and his wife see - he likes her, she's retired, she's near his home and she's cheap. I told him I'd think about it.
I can't help but thinking this is a conflict of interest.
And in the subject if private school...
My three kids have attended the same private school since preschool and kindergarten. They are excellent students, all have special challenges (ADD, Apergers, probably dyslexia) and their father and I have worked closely with the kids, thei school and the local public schools to make sure they are progressing and being given access to programs that are available. Each time we've been through evaluations, it is always agreed that their current small school, private setting is their best choice and has been allowing to to excel.

Ss13 to DH, "private school applications are due this friday"
DH instantly gets irritated and says something like "your mom stole our $29 pack if pictures and is fighting with the school about it. Do you really think she's going to come up with $750 a month to pay for half the tuition?"
Dh asks if he's even mentioned this to his mother. He hasn't.
Dh reminds him that his C grades (and his incomplete) wouldn't get him into the school anyway so he's not sure why he's even asking. If he's not going to work hard here, why would we send him to a much more expensive and demanding school.
SS13, "I have LOTS of Things to look forward to at BM's"... which must, of course, be why you don't seem to want to go anymore
SS13 tells us that BM is getting him a PS4 for christmas for her house. You may recall that he has been insisting on setting up the xbox in his room with online access and we haven't allowed it. You may also remember that he has requested a new piece of electronics every week since starting school.
Another Fun Experience with School Pictures
Does this ever end?
Apparently not.
I order pictures from the school for all of the children, including SS13 who DH has primary custody of. Pictures arrive and the school has switched our order with BM's order. I know because I order all of the same packets.

SS13 doesn't want to go
And I know that hearing him say it I like music to my DH's ears.
(background: bm left dh and SS when SS was 5 after several years of cheating. Bm showed back up after 7 years when she saw I was around to stay. Se now has EOWe visitation and eo holiday.)
This is ss's first thanksgiving with his mother since he was very small. Dh and I only have our baby this year a we set my three off to their fathers' earlier this afternoon. We did a special dinner with all the kids to do something special.
