Um no DH, I did not buy ss14 a season pass to the amusement park

step off already's picture

I did renew my children's passes but nope. Not spending $90 for ss. He'll be with BM half of the summer. I'll be taking my bios alone - especially since ss never wants to do anything with us anyway these days. Which is fine. I enjoy things more when he's not around.

We also get discounted rates for guests so if we do all go together it will only be $20 for him to get in (instated if $50).

Dh says, "well cousin had a pass and ss asked about going with her this summer and she can drive and ...her sisters friend likes him and ...."

Oh what to do?

Make ss come with us on a super awesome fun camping weekend or let him go with bm's sister (who is her only relative that we like and are In touch with who will be in town).

We are off to Boy Scout family camp where there will be rifles and boats and fishing and horses and lots if fun. He asked if he could stay with his mom instead.

His aunt is also coming into town and asked us of she could visit (she doesn't speak with bm).

I'm torn. I'd love for bm to take in more responsibility. I'd live for his aunt to take him. I'd live not to deal with him this weekend.

SS's lovely weekend with bm

Ss got to spend Mother's Day weekend with his mom (which of course meant that I got to have the weekend alone with my husband and children Smile and yes. It was fantastic)

So ss tells us that his mom asked him if he wanted to go with her to get her nails done on Sunday. He decided not to go.

Met with ExH yesterday and boy is he setting sm up for trouble

ExH wanted to have a meeting as we seem to have two different perspectives and expectations regarding g the children and their hw - especially in regards to dd13 - who has been consistently recognized as an academic scholar by our state, had ADD and she is working with a doctor find an appropriate medication and dose. We elected to put her on medication so she could be successful as she is very disorganized and forgetful. She's in 7th grade this year and has missing work and it seems to make her feel bad and sad that she has these struggles.

And then there was bm

Bm did not exercise her visitation last weekend. She did not want to take ss to his mandatory school presentation on Friday night nor did she want to take him to his track meet on sat.

Since this weekend was Mother's Day and she was to have him sat - sun, she agreed to take him on Friday instead of her previous weekend.

Last night she did not call during her court ordered call time. She did not answer when ss left 4 messages on her phone.

.... Wondering if she'll show on Friday to pick him up.

Is there a Sign on my back today?: let's fight!

Exh has the kids tonight. I alerted him that d13 has a test tomorrow ( because I know he can't be bothered to read the teacher's weekly email but he can surely complain about how unprepared they are or how poorly the kids do even though they are all sold b students and have consistently been recognized as academic scholars for our state. )

He is upset because dd doesn't have her book. He is upset because she has no study guide.

Oh really dh?

I'm a bitch?
I should have stayed with ex boy friend?

Really?

I'm sorry that my response to your question this afternoon at 2:30, "are you sure you're really happy with me?" - this was about an hour after his ensuring I would get a tattoo with his me on it once my $$$ from a house sale came in.

My response: yes honey, I love you to death, I just don't feel like this is anywhere near a 50/50 split of effort towArds our family.

Background:

Oh yes. Mil actually said this

Let me preface thus by saying I am 41 and mil is 20 years older. Earlier this week if asked dh if bed heard from his mom. I thought it was weird that she didn't call on my bday and that she didn't comment on any if the recent Facebook photos of the kids since she is on their all the time reporting those memes and posting #tbt pics of herself from the 80's.
